a lot of domestic unfaithfulness
these days, and the more we learn
about it, the more horrible it
gets."
H appiness? Excitement? In–
stead, many who toy with fre.e sex
a re led to
MURDER
themselves
through self-hate, frustration and
sheer empti ness.
We can conclude by saying that
it is absolutely demonstrated that
the reckless and promiscuous use of
sex leads to venereal disease, cancer
of the cervix, illegitimacy, dis–
turbed and rebellious children,
broken bornes, wretched happiness
and
SUICIDE.
It
is
just not worth
the price.
There must be a better
way.
But
what
way? How?
Where?
ls there any way we can
learn how to handle sex
without going tbrough
the agonies of human
reasoning, experimenta–
tion, lusts? And the resul–
tant heartaches, headaches
and death?
A Purpose in Lite?
Let's get at the basic
question. We want to
know about
sex- and
about happiness.
But
we must go further.
We cannot frag–
ment human life
into distinct and
isolated questions.
To properly under–
stand sex, we must delve
into the
ultimate purpose
of
human life.
lf
there is not purpose, if man–
kind is a chance occurrence in the
vast infinities of space and time, if
man will Iive his short specks and
wisps of time and then disappear
forever, then
nothing matters.
Then we should all do what we
want, when we want and how we
want. Old morality or new morali–
ty, much morality, little morality or
no morality.
Nothing matters,
then!

tence? Should this being, who can
conceive of and comprehend eterni–
ty, be denied it? What is Iife all
about'?
Are you willing to face facts and
find the true answer?
The answer to t hese fundamental
questions hinges upon the existence
of an all-wise, all-powerful Creator
Goo.
If
sucb a God does indeed
exist , and if this God designed and
fashioned mankind, then it natural–
ly follows that every individual has
an ultimate
purpose-extending
far beyond the few years of this
physical life.
This is the
key.
This affects
you.
Does this God exist? And is the
Bible his
divine revelation to man–
kind?

The Creator's Purpose in Sex
I t is impossible to understand the
true meaning of sex without first
understanding that sex and mar–
riage are God-given and God–
ordained. To leave God out of the
picture- as this modern age is
doing-is to degrade the marriage
union to mere animalism.
Notice God's
P URPOSE
in creat–
ing man and woman! "And the
Lord God said [after he had made
only the man],
It
is not good that
the man should be alone; 1 will
make an help meet for him" (Gen.
2: 18).
God saw that man was
INCOMPLETE
by himseJf, and
SO
he
decided to make a help "meet" or
suitable for the man- one with
whom man could really share bis
Ji fe.
Then God brought all the other
living creatures to Adam- and he
named them. " But for Adam
there was not found an
help meet for bim"
(verse 20). There
was no other crea–
ture really
LIK E
Adam- one who
could share his sor–
rows and joys, his
hopes and dreams.
A nd so God created
woman out of Adam' s
very flesh and bone.
" And Adam s aid ,
This is now bone of
my bones, and ftesh
of my flesh: s he
shall be called
Woman , because she
was taken out of Man"
(verse 23).
Here now was an–
other person with
whom Adam could
share
EVERYTHING.
And she was created to be a
suitable "help" to him, and to
be 'his wife and companion.
For God said: "Therefore shall a
man leave his father and his moth–
er, and shall cleave unto bis wife:
and they shall be one ftesh" (verse
24).
God made us maJe and female.
God created
SEX
as a beautiful and
holy thing to be used to his glory.
And, as we have just seen, Goo
instituted marriage- not man, or
the rules or courts of man.
So the first and primary purpose
of marriage is to make man and
woman complete. Each is incom–
plete without the other. Man alone
was notable to fulfill the purpose for
which God created him- was not
able to learn the lessons of
CHARAC-
