The Sex Talk

This Sunday we’ll wrap up our I Want A New Marriage and we’re going to talk about sex. We’re also doing a Q & A session…so things could get a little interesting!!!

While I was at the Convention this week I was asked – don’t you get tired of preaching the anti-sex sermons?

I was kinda caught off guard a bit so I asked back, “Do you think God is anti-sex?”

So I think I’ll start off Sunday morning with a great big apology for speakers everywhere. I imagine if you put all the talks and sermons that have ever been done about sex in churches, it would be a small pile and it would mostly be negative. Like – God hates adultery, don’t fornicate, don’t have sex before marriage – which are all true statements but they hardly communicate the total heart of God on the topic of sex.

Personally, I’m faced with a very odd reality. How many years have I talked to teens and parents about sex? How many talks have I had with other people’s kids and not even flinch? And now I have a 6th grader and 4th grader living in my house that I’m responsible to teach about sex. (No, I didn’t forget about Cayden but she’s still fairly clueless on the whole idea. Camber is a completely different story…not going there right now.)

But I know that my kids are going to get information on sex. I can’t stop that. I can jump the curve to make sure they get the RIGHT information from the Designer and hope they trust HIS heart and intention on the matter. I can put them in front of the TRUTH about sex so that they have a chance for sex to be an awesome, wonderful, incredible, deepening, spiritual experience with their spouse instead of a wounding, damaging, destructive, harmful experience with lifelong consequences.

This Sunday is going to be very, very interesting.
