Again, I am new here so I feel awkward even doing this but its a rather bad habit of mine to just speak out I guess. I agree that accountability is important to a person's life. Afterall, we are all accountable to God. Having a premarital sexual relationship is something that you need to resolve with God through praying and reading of HIS Word. However, it cannot be denied that setting a good example sets precedent over our own self-interest. Besides, you and your girlfriend can see each other outside camp activities, I would imagine. Lust is indeed a controversial subject. How many good people have fallen into that trap: David, Abraham, Moses, et al (lust need not be sexual). Again, a lot of praying and communion with GOD is necessary in trying to deal with this. I dont have any solution, nor do I pretend to have one, having been dealing with this problem for years now myself. A lot of times, when I fix my eyes and heart on the LORD, the lust just...dissipates away. In any event, just keep in mind that GOD's love is unconditional. HE treats lust no more or less than lying, pride, anger, et al His grace is sufficient...always sufficient, no matter how many times we fall. He knows what is in your heart... Just my 2 cents...
