LDS Church News: Chastity blessings include peace of mind
Do the names Nick, Joe and Kevin mean anything to you? If you are 17 or older, they likely don't, but ask any 12- or 13-year-old girl and you will soon hear more than you bargained for about the teen pop-music sensation The Jonas Brothers.
While passing teen crazes don't usually catch my attention, The Jonas Brothers recently earned my respect for expressing their pro-abstinence stance despite the unpopularity of doing so. One of the band members, Joe, was quoted as saying "(We) made a promise to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure till marriage." When these three young men were publicly mocked at a recent music awards show for living chaste lives, I was reminded of how little, if any, value is placed on the law of chastity in today's world.
The gospel teaches that "the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife" (The Family: A Proclamation to the World).
