Soul Care #30: Sexuality

Sexuality is God's design, and His domain.

The world's model says:
1)Sex is for self.
2)Sex is only for pleasure
3)Sexual urges are uncontrollable
4)Sex is just physical.

God's model says:
1)Sex is about giving.
2)Sex is for pleasure, but not only pleasure, and not only your pleasure.
3)Sexual urges are controllable. Proverbs is all over this.
4)Sex is not just physical, but primarily about creating intimacy

What was God thinking when He designed men to be turned on by sight, and women to be turned on by touch? That men climax quickly and women need time? To these differences, we will either manipulate to meet our own needs, or minister to meet another's needs. By our very physiological make up, God demonstrates that sex is about giving.

There is so much more that could be said about his topic, but a healthy conversation starts with a discussion of God's original design.
