Sexual Atheism in the Church

These statistics are so sad... Guidelines are set in place not to limit you, but so you can be truly free.
I see and know so many people who love God but compartmentalize their lives and do not give this aspect to Him as well. And time and time again I see the devastating effects it has.. 

Worth the read.

  1. I loved reading this!
    "We must confront ourselves and our brothers and sisters with the veracity, authority and loving transparency of Scripture, which reflects God's love and wisdom in life-saving and marriage-saving ways. That is, we must point out the truth that if I am undisciplined sexually before marriage and willing to compromise my convictions before marriage, a wedding ring will not make me disciplined after marriage. "

    Another point that really stood out:

    "They took the bait and, apparently, so are the majority of single Christians in the garden of love, sex and dating. They are listening to the voice that says, "Eat and have your eyes opened." Like the first couple, God's single men and women are letting fear win over faith and curiosity win over Christ with inevitable and untold prices to pay."

    When people find out that I'm waiting, I often hear the phrase "how do you know it's going to be good when you're married" ("Eat and have your eyes opened"). Simple answer, I trust God! This gives me the opportunity to develop a deeper relationship - standing on and honoring what God wants for our lives and our relationship.

    Such a great article!!!
