Empathy is about knowing how a person feels or how they would feel in a certain situation. Having these qualities can do a lot of good and prevent various problems.

    It seems highly likely that one of the ways in which the standard oral contraceptive pill works is by causing abortions. There are other, natural methods of family planning, and there seems to be no justifiable reason for women to use this pill for the purpose of avoiding pregnancy.

70. The Importance of Distinguishing between Sexual Orientation and Practice by Max Aplin  
    Failing to distinguish between sexual orientation and sexual practice can cause problems in two ways. It can lead Christians who are struggling with an abnormal sexual orientation to worry that this orientation itself might bar them from final salvation. And it can encourage people to think that sexual orientation and practice always go together, which will in turn encourage them to have sex whenever they want and regardless of the morality of their actions.
    
    
71. Should Single Christians Aim to Get Married? by Max Aplin  
    The Bible teaches as a general principle that although it is good for single Christians to get married, it is even better for them to remain single. Nevertheless, this is only a general principle, and God does in fact want many Christians to get married, for a variety of reasons. We must not downplay the radical nature of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

73. What Attitude Should Christians Have to Homosexuality? by Max Aplin  
    The Bible is clear that homosexual orientation is an abnormality and homosexual practice is a sin. All human beings have tendencies towards sin in various ways, and it is wrong and hypocritical for those who are not affected by homosexual orientation to look down on those who are. Those affected should seek release from this problem.
