Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

I have heard people say that when they saw a person the first time, it was love at first sight . I tend to believe it was actually attraction at first sight , as real love must be built upon a foundation of relationship and commitment. This is the danger when youth begin dating at an early age. Parents often allow their sons and daughters to date at age sixteen, which is the time when the raging chemicals are surging through the bodies of both sexes, but especially young men. As a young man and young girl hold hands, hug, and eventually kiss, every type of feel-good chemical is pouring through their bodies. They only “feel good” around this person, and soon, they are “in love” at age fifteen or sixteen and ready to run away to be married! I have watched young teenage girls become heartbroken, depressed, and ready to give up on life when their boyfriend “fell out of love.” In reality, he found another female who stimulated his chemical levels higher, and he chose to replace his previous girlfriend with a new one. In our youth ministry, we encourage our youth to court and not to date . In the courting process they go to each other’s home with adult supervision or only go out together when there are other trusting youth present. We also encourage them not to get physically involved, as this only adds to the temptation and confusion.
