A Good Design: Myths, Lies & The Purpose of Sex
A Good Design: Myths, Lies & The Purpose of Sex
Scripture: Genesis 2:24, Genesis 3:1-7, Matthew 19:4-6, 1 Corinthians 6:16-18, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
There are two primary narratives about sex in the world. One tells the story of sex as a mere phyiscal apatite along the lines of eating or drinking. The other storyline paints sex as something far deeper, with far reaching implications for the soul of humanity. One narrative leads to destruction, the other to flourishing. Our enemy has been feeding us lies since the garden: You’re missing out. It’s no big deal. You’ll finally be happy. But what if sex is a big deal? The Scriptures teach us that sex is designed for really deep things like unity, pleasure, procreation and ultimately a sign-post pointing to something greater: union with Christ. When people begin to worship a gift instead of the giver of that gift, things are sure to go bad. That’s why sex God’s way is never meant to restrict us, but to free us to enjoy Him and others in a full and life-giving way!
