Sex

Preposterous!

I never thought I’d actually get to say these two words out loud or even type them — “Christian pornography”.

Wow!

Mind you, that “wow” I’m exhaling is not done in joyful excitement, but in total despair that the Church is sliding further and further into complete apostasy.

I think this is the lowest point ever and we should all have seen it coming, really — what with all the initial pushes at the boundaries of good sense with churches distributing flyers in neighborhoods shouting (without shame, I might add) programs at church to realize (to paraphrase the title of a popular book) “Your Best Sex Now!” and even “sex challenges” where married couples are encouraged to have sex everyday for 30 days while singles try to abstain for the same period of time.

The sexual morality ship is fast sinking and taking millions of people with it. If you think the sinking of the Titanic was a disaster, this ship is sinking faster and taking more people with it than the former. And worse, it is also sending many millions to the bottomless pit called “hell”!

Parents in California Break The Law if They Homeschool

In a recent court decision that is, thankfully, still under appeal, the State of California (CA) has ruled that parents can be incarcerated or have their children taken away if they homeschool the latter!

In other words, and this is how I read it as well, it means that parents are not able to educate and teach their children at home. However, if parents insist on homeschooling their children, they will be required to engage someone who has the credentials, or have a parent credentialed to do so.

It gets worse!

This had me in stitches, and I think it’s just plain genius how the producers have captured the essence of the nonsense spewing from leaders of the Emergent movement, even managing to include the “sex and church” preachers.

All in all, absolutely hilarious, totally disgusting, but unquestionably sad and thoroughly worrying.

Florida Pastor Issues 30-Day Sex Challenge for Congregation

Marriage, Sex, and Intimacy

A Florida church has issued a challenge to all singles and married couples in the congregation — that singles go without sex for 30 days while married couples go at it everyday for the same period.

I don’t know about you but I think somehow there’s an implication that the church doesn’t bat an eyelid about singles having sex after those 30 days.

“Our married people are far more fearful than our single people,” said Paul Wirth, the pastor.

As well they should be! Run, Forrest, run!

In other news, this is interesting to me because of my own take on Biblical prophecy:

Rome’s Mayor: UN and Pope For ‘United Religion’

Walter Veltroni today resigned as mayor of Rome to focus exclusively on his campaign to become Italy’s prime minister in the April national election. In his goodbye to the press, Veltroni talked about “a place where religions can meet and talk”.

No prizes for guessing correctly where that might be: Rome.

“I have discussed the idea to make Rome a place where a building could be constructed that would be called ‘United Religion’ with the secretary-general of the UN and the Pope; it would be a place for all religions in the world. I would like to see this idea carried out and to see this place of exchange between several religions”.

Faith and Pornography -- Never the Twain shall meet

The advertising adage that sex sells is taken to new extremes today — if you can’t think of some refreshing concept for a product or service, just slap on a nude female form (cover it in some cloth or put it in silhouette so that it passes the censors though) and there’ll be many who will notice it.

Job done.

Our senses are bombarded with sexual images all the time throughout the course of a day that you need to be blind in order to totally ignore them because they are just so in-your-face.

More often than not, people find talking about sex with Christians inappropriate, or are just plain uncomfortable doing so because they have this image in their heads that the Christian will turn judgmental and think them ‘dirty-minded’.

Little wonder, then, that even within Christian circles, sex is a subject that is seldom broached, much less between married couples and their pastors or church elders.

The fact of the matter is that sex is not dirty, and especially not within the context of marriage! As a certain singer once sang, and I’ll apply it loosely here to marital sex, “sex is natural, sex is fun, sex is best one on one”.

Marriage -- ordained by God

In Part One, we learned that marriage is an institution ordained by God from the very beginning, when Eve was made a help for Adam as God knew that it was no good for man to be alone.

In this second part, we’ll look at the gender roles for men and women in a marriage as instructed in the Bible.

Husbands

Perhaps the most important passage in the Bible on the role of the husband in a marriage is found in Ephesians 5:23 –

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:23

That sets the tone for any marriage. The husband is the head of the family, just as Christ Jesus is the head of the church.

In today’s world where we read and hear of failed marriages leading to divorces, adultery and of couples that no longer communicate, it’s time to take a step back and see what God intended for men and women in the institution of marriage.

What most married couples don’t realize is that God has ordained separate and distinct roles for men and women in a marriage, and that it is exactly this failure to recognize and fulfill their roles that most couples end their marriages citing irreconcilable differences.
