A common report from police officers, fire fighters and soldiers is that they survived an unexpected attack because their earlier training “kicked in.” I remember a TV interview with a soldier who said, "I was too scared to think. I just did what they trained me to do and it worked."This is true in our spiritual lives as well. In fact, the Bible instructs us, “Prepare your minds for action.”That means anticipating the dangers or temptations that are apt to come our way and imagining in advance how we will respond.Think about your values – what you believe in. Think through what it means to be faithful to God, to be honest, to avoid sexual temptation. The key point is to prepare in advance! Become spiritually strong before troubles arrive. Otherwise it may be too late.
The bible says "Prepare your mind for action" ... Let me translate here. By "action" the bible means learning. But it doesn't mean "prepare your mind for learning." It means "prepare your mind for encountering the danger of learning." The problem is Christianity already claims to have all the answers for everything. So the religious totally hate it when science goes around solving things with real evidence and reason that they pretended to already give you the answer for. Thus Christianity is kind of counting on you to close your mind off to new things prepare your mind for action.
Notice the random attack on sex once again as well... Awesome. Shame people about their human sexuality over and over.
I'd definitely suggest waiting until marriage for sex. That way you have a much greater chance of spending the rest of your life with someone you're sexually incompatible with. But that's just as well, since you should probably only have sex to procreate anyway. You can wait until heaven to experience pleasure. And god knows that there's no sex in heaven ... so there must be something even better than sex there. Maybe it's those chocolate strawberry crostatas from D'Amico & Sons? I'm not sure though, that's just a guess.
