I'm always bothered by the "How far can you go?" question, too, and I think many Christian (Catholic or Protestant) speakers on chastity are afraid to give a Godly answer: NO sexual expressions with a person who is not your spouse are appropriate.

Jason flips the "How far..." question from a negative to a positive by stressing love. If you truly love someone, you want the best for that person, and are willing to sacrifice yourself for that person. Abstinence is about what you can't have. Chastity is about what you can have. With the right frame of reference, the question of "How far..." should never even arise. I know I'm not doing justice to his talk, but I hope I'm getting the basic idea across.

I'll have to look more closely at the details. I'm always interested in suggestions for teaching chastity - both ideas for my own kids, and for something to get other children's attention.

**That a kid might gain enough to hold out for another year is miracle enough.**

And this would be an outstanding and noble goal. Any speaker can only hope to influence one person at a time. That's what education is all about!

Have you heard him speak?
