Colette T. taught from Chapter 17:
Keeping the Law of Chastity in the Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson with examples she has seen in the world and teachings from the
For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. She reminded us of the many supporting influences we can be to youth learning this principle.
"Our Heavenly Father desires nothing for us but to be happy. He tells us
only those things that will bring us joy. And one of the surest
principles given by God to help us find that joy is the law of chastity.
I pray with all my heart that you will consider most solemnly the
joyful consequences of keeping this law, and the tragic consequences of
violating it."(Keeping the Law of Chastity)
"When you are sexually pure, you prepare yourself to make and keep sacred
covenants in the temple. You prepare yourself to build a strong
marriage and to bring children into the world as part of an eternal and
loving family. You protect yourself from the spiritual and emotional
damage that come from sharing sexual intimacy outside of marriage. You
also protect yourself from harmful diseases. Remaining sexually pure
helps you to be confident and truly happy and improves your ability to
make good decisions now and in the future." (For the Strength of Youth)
