Things have totally changed since we were kids. Today we live in a sex-saturated culture. Anything sex is readily accessible, even to the very young.Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, wrote - sex is the effective religion of our culture. Homes remain silent on sexuality as we learn sex from our equally misinformed friends, Netflix and porn. It’s high time for a conversation. To uncover sex according to the original design, we return to the first garden on earth.
1. Read Genesis 2:18. This Scripture is usually taken to refer to marriage. Q: Could perhaps this also refer to relational intimacy? (Singles can be fulfilled relationally whilst married people can be lonely.)
2. Read Genesis 2:24. It's been said that God gives sexual intimacy for procreation and for marital bonding/pleasure. Reflect on how sexual intimacy strengthens a marital relationship. Consider how sex is more than just a physical act.
3. Read 1 Corinthians 6:18 Sexual sin hurts so much because it touches you deep in the core of your heart and soul. Consider the holistic nature of humanity. Note: This relates to reflection point 2 above.
