Description

“If we want to know what is most sacred in this world, all we need do is look for what is most violently profaned.”--Christopher West

Sex is a powerful force for either creativity, love, and goodness or destructiveness, deceit, and evil. Sex can give us a taste of heaven or hell. The Bible has a wonderfully high view of sexuality - our sexuality is designed to give us a taste of relationship with God. How are we brainwashed by the vivid and powerful cultural messages about sex and our bodies? What has the Bible to say about how we should care for our bodies? What has the Bible to say about sexuality in a world where “anything goes?” What is the relevance of the incarnation, resurrection and union of Christ with the church to our sexuality? How can we move towards purity in singleness and marriage? Now that the overwhelming flood of pornography is so easily available on the internet, most young men and women are learning about sex, love, women and relationships in all the wrong places. How can we protect ourselves and help those caught in sexual compulsion and addiction?
