Sex Before Marriage Isn’t Just a Sin — It’s a Shortcut to Soul Confusion

By Khanyisa Manganyi

There’s a silent ache that creeps into many hearts — a deep, unspoken emptiness that comes after giving your body to someone who never promised you forever. It’s not something we post online or talk about easily. We dress it up with humor and pretend it’s empowerment. But deep down, the soul mourns. Not because we’re weak — but because God never meant for us to give sacred pieces of ourselves away so casually.

We live in a world that praises “just having fun,” but behind the laughter is a generation quietly bleeding. Sex before marriage isn’t just a sin on paper — it’s a deep spiritual shortcut that leaves the heart confused, the spirit tired, and the soul in pieces.

Genesis 2:24 says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Sex was always meant to seal covenant, not play games with emotions. And when we step outside of that, we don’t just disobey — we damage ourselves. Because every time we connect with someone sexually, we merge more than bodies — we merge souls. And when it ends, we don’t just walk away — we feel torn.

The world says it's harmless, but 1 Corinthians 6:16-18 tells a different story: “The two will become one flesh… flee from sexual immorality.” God didn’t say “tiptoe” — He said flee. Because He knows this type of sin isn’t surface-level. It gets inside your spirit. It fogs your mind. It creates false bonds. You start thinking obsession is love, anxiety is passion, and red flags are just part of the ride.

And this is exactly how the enemy traps us — not with guilt, but with confusion. When you’re tangled in the wrong soul ties, you can’t hear God clearly. You lose your peace. You chase people who don’t even deserve to know you. And eventually, you wonder why you feel spiritually heavy even when you’re physically alone.

But here’s the part that makes grace so breathtaking: God is still waiting. The same Jesus who met the woman at the well — the one with five men and an aching heart — meets you too. Not to shame you. But to restore what’s been taken. You are not too far gone. You’re not used up. You’re not unworthy.

Healing might require letting go of toxic ties. Breaking spiritual bonds in prayer. Choosing purity, not out of fear, but out of love for God — and yourself. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us, “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… therefore honor God with your body.” That’s not a rule — it’s a reminder that you’re sacred. You’re holy ground, not a testing ground.

Waiting is strength. Holiness is beauty. Purity is powerful. You don’t need to prove your worth through physical intimacy — you already have worth because God calls you His. Sex before marriage doesn’t just steal innocence — it steals clarity, joy, and peace. But God is ready to return it all.

Let Him untangle you. Let Him restore you. Let Him lead you to a kind of love that comes with peace — not pressure. A love that doesn’t leave you wondering. A love that honors God and heals your soul.

How to Take Off from Grass to Grace There’s a special kind of magic in a “grass to grace” story. It’s the kind of tale that makes your heart swell with hope, your sides ache from laughter, and your mind race with the possibility of your own success. We all love a good underdog story—whether it’s the billionaire who once lived in a shack, the footballer who sold sachet water as a kid, or the local celebrity who once worked as a mascot at a fast-food joint. But what really makes a “grass to grace” journey? Is it luck? Hard work? A fairy godmother? Or just a series of unfortunate events that miraculously turn fortunate? Let’s find out. Understanding the Grass Stage Every great success story has a beginning, and, let’s be honest, it’s usually a tough one.

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It On a clear night, when the world quiets down and the stars begin to appear one by one, a sparkling gem lights up the sky brighter than all the others — Sirius, the "Dog Star." But blink (or stay glued to your phone) and you might just miss one of the most spectacular sights heaven has to offer. A Star Worth Watching Sirius isn’t just another twinkle overhead. It’s the brightest star in our night sky, shining with an intensity that has captured the awe of stargazers for thousands of years. Located in the constellation Canis Major — which charmingly translates to "Greater Dog" — Sirius lives up to its reputation as the alpha dog of the night. This brilliant star is about 8.6 light-years away from Earth, making it one of our closest stellar neighbors. In astronomical terms, that’s practically next door (if you consider "next door" being about 50 trillion miles away). How to...
