Is it wrong for my boyfriend to stay in my room while having financial trouble?

Question:

I'm in a serious relationship. My man is having some financial and accommodation issues. My parents and I decided to assist him until he can stand on his feet. We brought him in to stay with us. We sleep in the same room, but we are not having sex. I want to know if it's wrong?

Answer:

It is too intimate of a situation for an unmarried couple to be in. The temptation to do more than just sleep is too great. Christians avoid temptation. "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (II Timothy 2:22).
