What if I gave you the keys to this beautiful Ferrari? And as you were tooling along the freeway, just cruising, I mean you were flying in this thing, all of sudden you noticed that there were like 5 speed limit signs in rapid fire succession? If they all said, Speed Limit: 65, Speed Limit: 65, Speed Limit: 65, Speed limit: 65, Speed Limit: 65, youd understand what the speed limit was.
Now, if youre like most people, you must say to yourself, Those speed limit signs are not really there for me. I mean, who cares about a speed limit sign? A speed limit sign only matters if you get caught.
Well, you really dont think about the fact that people put the speed limit signs there for a reason. You dont think about the fact that people have studied the roads and studied the terrain and they know the safety. They know the minimum and maximum speed limits that everyone should travel down this particular piece of real estate known as a highway. Well, our God is the same way.
Ed Young Fellowship shares that when it comes to todays subject matter, sex, God has placed a big, monster speed limit sign right in the middle of our relational road. And hes told those of us who are unmarried to abstain until we get hooked up in marriage.
Now, when most people hear that, when most singles hear that, what do you think their typical response is? Do you think its something like, God, that is so cool! Hes so awesome, hes so strategic, hes so beautiful, and hes so caring. I love God because hes told me five times directly and twenty three times indirectly to abstain from sex until marriage. Yeah, God!
Do you think thats the typical response? No, its not! Singles dont like it, they dont dig it. They do the push back thing and say, God, why in the world are you raining on my sexual parade? God, why have you given the marriage folk a blank check but with me youre saying, Speed limit, speed limit, speed limit, speed limit, speed limit sign?
