Sex Is A Beautiful Thing When…..

When Christians talk about sex, it’s like taboo. My generation and before was never really taught about sex. And it was only brought up in church when it came to the sinful behavior in which it was contextualized. Sex is a beautiful thing, when it’s done within the parameters of God’s design. It’s almost a form of communion between two people. I mean you offer yourself completely, no clothes, no hang-ups, completely exposing your vulnerabilities. It’s exactly how we are to come to God in prayer (clothing required). In Proverbs chapter 5 we read about giving yourself (sexually) only to one person, your spouse. It tells us to drink only from the fountain God gave you. Why pour your drinking water in the street? It’s wasted, and later on, full of regret. We are never to share it with a stranger. Yet the world tells us “whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” It’s a lie. Whatever you do in Vegas follows you home. And if it’s a sexual act outside of marriage, it will follow you home and eventually weaken or completely destroy the bond you’ve formed with you spouse. Why do you think God equated sexual immorality with idolatry so much in the OT? Take it serious, and love your spouse. God will honor your marriage when you honor Him, and give you a satisfying sex life as a result. Sex is a good thing, God said it Himself. We just have to view it from His perspective and let the world’s agenda be pushed aside.

15 Drink water from your own well–share your love only with your wife.16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,having sex with just anyone?17 You should reserve it for yourselves.Never share it with strangers. 18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.Rejoice in the wife of your youth. Proverbs 5:15-18
