I want Christians to take sex back from the world. That's right, I am on a sex crusade. Good, monogamous, marital sex. Before you think I have totally lost my mind and gone to the dark side, let me explain.
The world has lots to say about sex. Most if what the world says about sex is lies. It is not without boundaries. It is not to be used as a weapon to control, hurt, and punish others. It is not to be practiced by children or singles.
But, and here your mind may be blown, Christians have lied about sex also. It is not something that is only for the purposes of procreation. Sex should not be filled with shame and disgrace. Sex is not disgusting. It is something that should be looked forward to. Sex is a very important part of marriage. Sex is good. Sex is fun. Sex is something to be enjoyed, celebrated, and (gasp) be talked about. Bottom line, if the Bible talks about sex so should we.
We should be talking about it in our homes, in our youth groups, in our life groups, and from the pulpit. We should be talking about what God's design for sex is to our children, our spouses, and our friends.
We shouldn't be ashamed of sex. God created sex. He designed an enjoyable (Bonus!!) way for a married couple to unite and physically become one. It is the most intimate form of martial worship. It communicates love and acceptance to one another. Have you ever thought about God in your marriage bed? Well you should, because he's there, and he cares about your sex life.
He cares if you are satisfied with it. He cares if you have been hurt by it. He cares if you are bored with it. He had a whole book of the Bible written about sex. Jesus cares about sex.
For the next couple of blogs I am going to dive deeper into sex. What does the world say about it? What does the Bible says about sex? What is the church saying about it? How do we talk about sex? Why should we talk about sex?
I am aware this is a very sensitive topic and I am going to try to be as delicate as this gal can possibly be. But hear my heart, I want you and your spouse to have a freaking fantastic sex life, so I am going to be blunt and honest also. It is time to reclaim sex for Jesus.
