"Flee Sexual Immorality"

Rose Sweet says, "If the pressure keeps coming and coming and you're getting weaker and weaker—quit standing in front of the bakery window. Remove yourself. It's as simple as that.

"You sit and struggle, asking, 'What should I do? I'm trying to enforce these boundaries.' Get up and walk away. Get out of the car. Go home. Don't go out with that person anymore. If all your friends are pressuring you, get new friends. Now, of course, this involves severing relationships. But move on and let God replace what you let go of."

Many people fall into a sexual relationship because they are "people pleasers." They don't want to cause tension or stir up a conflict in a relationship by constantly being the one who says, "No." As a result, they do something they seriously regret, harming everyone involved. Sticking to your boundaries and upholding your beliefs may cause others to look down on you, to say hurtful words, or to try to make you feel guilty or wrong. You need to get to a place inside yourself where this is okay.

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).
