This week we are starting our discussion about sex because, for the most part, the world talks about sex and no one else does. There should be a Christian message about sex because God designed it.
God's design for sex:
- spiritual, emotional, physical intimacy
- context of marriage
- discussed in appropriate, respectful ways
- Myth 1: Sex is dirty.
- stems from a desire to discourage immorality
- typically a female issue
- God made sex and He is holy. Sex in God's context is also holy.
- perspective on sex must change even if you are single
- Myth 2: Sex is for men.
- God designed sex for women too.
- Sex is not a duty.
- Read Song of Solomon
- Myth 3: Women don't enjoy or want sex.
- Women have more complicated sex drives than men.
- God designed women to enjoy sex.
- Sex is not a duty. (Did we say that already?)
We're coming back next week with two more myths but the major thought is that how you think about sex matters. If your sexuality is a burden as a single person, sex becomes a burden after marriage. If your sexuality is something to flaunt then it ceases to be precious and private.
