Sex, God’s Way

Is sex something that should be talked about in today’s churches?  Is it a topic that is too controversial for our pastors to preach on?

The answer to the first question is, “YES!”  The answer to the second question is, “NO!”  With how rampant sexual immorality is among people who are attending churches today, it must be addressed.  It must be addressed in a frank, direct and uncensored way. 

This morning, Pastor Danny preached a sermon titled, “Stay Away From Wrong Sex,” that was a strong reminder, encouraging, and convicting all at the same time.  Just like every other man alive, since receiving salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, I have continued to be tempted in every way imaginable.  Through television, people I interact with on a daily basis, the internet, and every other medium out there, I have been tempted to violate God’s commands regarding sex.  As a result of this, there have been successes and failures over the years.  After listening to Danny’s message, I was again reminded in a most appropriate and needed way that I must run away as fast and as far as I can from anything and anyone who causes me to stumble.  I love my God.  I love my wife more than ever before.  I want to be able to look back at my life and say that I lived that love in every way possible, including staying away from wrong sex.

I want to encourage everyone who sees this post to visit the Eastpoint Fellowship web site at www.eastpointfellowship.org to listen to the pastor’s message, “Stay Away From Wrong Sex.”  As Danny said this morning to start off the message, “Believers must be willing to accept the will of God concerning sexual behavior.”
