"For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women."

 What is it that needs to be done to make this more important in the world? How can live a chaste life truly bless us?

For me, something that has helped is having a guilty conscience. I don't like doing even little things that I know are wrong because I will have to feel bad about them forever. It is definitely something that is rare in these days as well with the world. About 9 years ago I met a guy in California we were talking and somehow we got on the topic of chastity and he couldn't believe I was still a virgin and that I was waiting until I was married. 100 years ago that's what people did without questioning it and now it's a question?

Blessing: I have the desire to live a chaste life and stay pure until marriage

Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
