Mark Driscoll, in an editorial section of The Washington Post, gives a very succinct historical overview of how today’s culture came to such divergent views of sex. The following are the three views that he identifies:
Sex as God.
Sex as Gross.
Sex as Gift.
For those in Ekklesia521, take this opportunity to read through the whole article and see where you land in one of these three categories currently. And then prayerfully, with a spirit of repentance, consider where it is that God wants you to be.
Just wanted to share this amazing resource with you guys. Tim Challies recently offered a free e-book titled, Sexual Detox, based off of his blog posts on the subject. Here’s a quick excerpt about the book from Challies:
Last week’s series on Sexual Detox was quite an experience for me. I figured it would garner a little bit of interest simply because it dealt with an universal issue (sex) and because it included several important peripheral issues (pornography, addiction, and so on). But even then the response surprised me, both in terms of the number of visitors who showed up to read the articles and the outpouring of comments and emails in response to it. All of this showed me that I had tapped into an important issue.
Here’s the link to the post (http://www.challies.com/archives/christian-living/sexual-detox-the-e-book.php). He even made two versions of the book: one for single dudes and the other for married dudes. I pray that this aids your quest to bring all areas of life under rule of Christ in light of what He has done on the cross.
