News comes to me today of a 22 year old San Diego woman auctioning her virginity to the highest bidder. The bidding so far, is at 3.7 million dollars. That's quite a paradox when sex has become so cheap in our generation
I don't watch a lot of TV, but for a presentation I am preparing I needed to review an episode of the South Park cartoon that featured a particular radical Darwinist. I had never watched South Park and it breaks my heart to think that what I saw in that episode, is considered by so many of my Christian brethren, to be acceptable entertainment for the mind given us by God. Everywhere we turn, sex is treated as cheaply as possible.
Sex is no longer about intimacy and love, it's about pleasure. It's no wonder that many young people consider kissing to be more intimate than intercourse.
But God has a lot to say about sexuality. It's not a matter He's silent on at all. Indeed an entire book in the Bible is all about the courtship, marriage and consummation of the love of two Hebrew lovers. So erotic is this book that Jewish boys are not allowed to read it until their Bar Mitvah at 13 years of age. God is not embarrassed about sex. And to blast the stereotype about Christians and sex. It's documented by none other Johnson and Johnson, that married Christians, have the best sex lives.
Now I'm a young man single, I know the temptations that are always there, but if we follow the world's lead and allow sex to become something so cheap, we're going to miss the best sex there is. If you're single, make a bond with me today. To wait. To put temporary pleasure aside, so that in God's good time, we'll get to experience a fullness of intimacy, and pleasure, that only waiting for that one special person can give us. Within the safety of marriage, God can release us to each other fully. Sex is His idea, it's His invention, and He wants us to enjoy it in the fullest way He intended it to be.
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine. Song of Songs 6:3
