Let's talk about sex, and everything else that comes along with it!

Oh yeah I said it. Don't you think it's crazy that more people don't say that phrase more often? I think if more people talked about sex, the right way, you'd probably have less people doing it. So let's jump right into it shall we? But where shall we start? Well with the bible of course. And please just hear me out before you go Google something "more interesting". If you didn't know the bible has lots to say about sex, and it's not all bad. The first comment on sex comes from God and it's in Genesis 1:28. Before telling Adam and Eve to subdue the earth and its creatures God says "Be fruitful and multiply." Now I don't know about you, but I think it's rather awesome that the first thing God tells Adam and Eve to do is "enjoy" each other first, and then go out into the world to enjoy creation.



Now before anyone get's too excited, you must understand one very important thing here. Adam and Eve were married. Can I get an amen!? God didn't create a friend with benefits, or a life partner for Adam, but He created a wife for Him. What's more, we learn that the relationship between husband and wife is so strong that "a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" Gen 2:24.

Now I was going to try to grab some statistics and what not and throw them up here for you, but I decided against it. If you haven't noticed yet, the theme of my blogs is "Subject Matter" the way I see it. Nothing more then a simple mans opinion on various issues. So with that being said, let's get back on topic shall we?

So what exactly is it about sex that is so special? Why is it that everyone seems to be doing it? Why is it that our society has moved from essentially teaching abstinence till marriage, to sex when you're ready? Why is it that we've made it less about responsibility and more about emotion? I know my answer to these questions, and even others like them, are going to be frowned upon by the majority, but that's ok. So long as I can get one person to think before they act, then I'll be fine.

So how about we set a few things straight according to how I see this situation:

1. Sex is a gift from God
2. Sex is to be between a man and his wife
3. Sex is not to be enjoyed casually
4. Sex is to be between a man and his wife
5. It isn't your body and you can't just do what you want with it
6. Did I mention that sex is to be between a man and his wife?

God is the Author of sex, and since He gave it as His gift to mankind, a special gift meant to be enjoyed exclusively between husband and wife, Satan came along and polluted and perverted that gift. He took it outside of said boundaries, associated it with love, passion, and fun, and said that no one should be told they can't enjoy this most wonderful and natural experience.And don't forget, you're not hurting anyone, and it's no one's business but yours. It's your body!

My goodness, if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say "it's my body and I'll do what I want with it" i'd be, well you know. I mean that is like the most sorry answer for inappropriate behavior ever. And I know I just made someone angry but that's fine. This situation is more serious then either of our feelings. God loves us so much. We were created in His image for His glory. He desires great and marvelous things for us. He want's that which is good for us (Jer 29:11). Further more scripture says: What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? (1 Cor 6:19)

Don't be deceived into thinking that you can do what you want with your body because you 're not hurting anyone. When you have sex with someone, you have joined your body to them in the most literal and most intimate way. They become part of you and you become a part of them. Think of it like this. If you owned a diamond, like the one off to the right there, how would you feel if it you gave it to someone, and it was then passed from one person to another. And as it was passed around it was dropped in the mud, kicked around on the ground, spat upon, left outside overnight in the rain, and what have you. You would feel as if they did not appreciate this priceless gift that you gave them. Need I say more? Of course I do, because you are worth more than any number of diamonds mined by the hands of man. Your virginity (yes I said virginity) is something that once given away, like time, cannot be retrieved. Look at yourself and know that you are worth more then a night of casual pleasure. 


Consider also the way free sex has a way of crippling societies, and families. And if you don't believe me look it up. Marriage is no longer the sacred institution that it once was:

• Percentage of marriages where one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional: 41%
• Percentage of men who say they would have an affair if they knew they would never get caught: 74%
• Percentage of women who say they would have an affair if they knew they would never get caught: 68%

The structure of the family is no longer that of father, mother and child, instead:

According to Custodial Mothers and Fathers and Their Child Support: 2007, released by the U.S. Census Bureau in November, 2009, there are approximately 13.7 million single parents in the United States today, and those parents are responsible for raising 21.8 million children (approximately 26% of children under 21 in the U.S. today). 84% of those single parents are mothers (Single Parent Statistics)

So many broken homes, so many ruined marriages. So many broken hearts which shall never be mended. And yet, these are the facts that are swept under the rug. How long will we allow pleasure to blind us to the truth that sexual promiscuity is more damaging then it is pleasurable?


<<<Boiling Point>>>

There's no getting around the fact that sex is enjoyable. But is that enjoyment worth the price? We ignore the clear signs of devastation because of the pleasure received by the act, but does that mean it ought to continue? Sex was designed for the bed of marriage, not for casual use between individuals, or even for those who are in a "committed relationship".Please, take some time to consider what you're doing with your body, and how you're treating it. Value yourself the same way the God who designed you values you, and offer your Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
