Before We Mention Jesus, Let's Talk About the Seven Day Sex Challenge

Michael Spencer December 1st, 2008

So…since it's the first week of Advent, let's talk about sex, shall we?

Oh, did you have a bit of a wince that perhaps sex wasn't the appropriate topic for the time of year we look forward to the arrival of the Savior?

Lay aside your qualms, dear reader. Sex is always in season in the evangelical megachurch.

You'll need to visit and read that link if we're going to go on, because I can't tell the story without giggling or using so many double entendres that i … (Read More)

Celebate

Matthew July 22nd, 2008

The good news: teens are having less pre-marital sex. The bad news: it's probably just because they're too busy taking stolen pain meds, illegally downloading music, and obsessively texting each other.

Or maybe they're having less sex because of a revolutionary new product called Celebate.

Sex in the Eucharist (Part 2)

John H. Armstrong April 14th, 2008

Christians believe, if they are orthodox, that the human body is good. The body is central to all other Christian teaching. God creates our bodies and then draws us to himself in the human flesh and blood of the man, Christ Jesus.

Sex in the Eucharist (Part 1)

John H. Armstrong March 3rd, 2008

The linking of the two terms in my title seems rather shocking at first glance. What does sex have to do with Communion? How can any Christian theologian connect the two this closely?

Sex & Mawage

Erik Guzman February 27th, 2008

This week on [ping], Pastor Paul from Relevant Church in Tampa stopped by to talk about his 30 Day Sex Challenge.

Join us as we talk about the sex lives of Christians (married and single) and Paul's decent proposal that married couples in his congregation purposefully engage in sexual activity for 30 days, while singles abstain and focus on the spiritual rather than the physical.

If this is the first you've heard of the challenge, it's going on from 2/17 - 3/16. So use one of … (Read More)
