This week at Revolution, we’ll be talking about the topic of sex. I’ve been asked two specific questions a few times related to this Sunday. Today I’ll tackle question one and tomorrow, question two…here we go…
Question 1: Why would a church talk about sex?
Why wouldn’t a church talk about sex? Sex is on everyone’s mind. Its literally everywhere. My blogging friend FlowerDust backs this up. I’ve seen ads on TV where sex is used to sale the most random things! When we have TV ads using sex to sell something like a vacuum cleaner, I’m pretty sure we’ve become a sex-saturated culture.
Traditionally, the church hasn’t had the guts to address this topic. Which scares me because the church knows (or should know) the truth! Confusion and false teaching run rampant in our world when it comes to sex. Why wouldn’t we share the truth in a loving way?
We forget that sex was God’s idea. He created it. He wants us to enjoy it, in the context of a marriage relationship. One husband, one wife…oh, and frequently.
Did you know that there is an entire book of the Bible dedicated to the subject of sex? Its called Song of Solomon. Go read Song of Solomon 7:1-8 and you’ll see what I mean. Little hebrew boys weren’t allowed to read this part of the Bible back in the day because it was so sensuous.
God wants husbands and wives to have a healthy sexual relationship. It’s a point of tension for so many marriages. Come ready this Sunday to learn what God has to say about this topic that affects all of us!
