No doubt that the topic is controversial but sometimes the controversial topics succeeds in attracting the huge discussion. Sex and the city is one of the most popular brands amongst the television series is a clear fact here.

I think that would be good because a lot of young people are not able to talk about it with people they are “close” to.

Wow Pastor J!!!!!!  What a relevant topic.  It’s somewhat hard to believe that even in 2008 the subject of sex is still considered controversial in the church.  Evidence exists all around us that sex is very much a part of our culture regardless of marital status, age or gender.  Yet, “church folk” often walk around as if fornication isn’t happening, teenage pregnancy isn’t happening.  I don’t know the answer either of when or how the church should discuss sex.  But, we are off to a great start by having this blog.  Thank you for your boldness to generate conversation on the topic of sex and the sanctuary.  I am proud to be a member of VOFM Chesterfield location.  Celebrate Life!

The topic is relevant.but still considered controversial !!and Even this All discuss in church .....shocking!!but yet i believe that it’s time that we take our position of influence and expand the kingdom of God with truth and life; and yes that inlcludes the truth about sex.Thanks

Personally, I think it should be addressed in the Church.  I would like to talk about how it should be addressed to Teens/Young Adults.  I feel the best way to get sex across to them is by having a wake up call by a play or having a young mother(who does not mind) come in and speak about her life and the things she had or has to deal with.  Another way it can be addressed is by just having a question and answer summit with them.  I think that would be good because a lot of young people are not able to talk about it with people they are “close” to.  The mediator of the summit should find ways to connect it to the Bible or simply give words of encouragement to wait until marriage or ways to stop until marriage.

The reality is hard to accept, but it is our reality in 2008.  I believe that we do need to address it in the church as well as other venues to reinforce the message that we want our youth and adults to understand the “truth” about sex.  It is a beautiful relation that has been taken out of context. 

It is constantly a topic of conversation in the public/entertainment arena, but when spoken of in the church it’s seen as taboo and if you’re married it’s just something that you’re supposed to do.  Many people do not want to hear the truth about it, and would rather remain in ignorance, as it would help them to justify their ungodly behavior (and that does include members of the church).  But to understand the purpose in which God created it would help to minimize the abuse of it, and is needed. 

Sex should be celebrated and the right message communicated.  Married couples should be encouraged to celebrate it and not tolerate it.  The devil is constantly commmunicating the WRONG message of sex to our youth and adults and corrupting our view of a very healthy thing.  It’s time that we take our position of influence and expand the kingdom of God with truth and life; and yes that inlcludes the truth about sex. 

A few thoughts from Nichole; co-founder of http://www.foryouiwill.com

I believe that the topic is relevant and is needed. The church is suppose to influence the world, however, if we do not talk about sex we are not influencing it. We leave it in the hands of the world and currently they are not doing such a spectacular job! Jesus tactled tough issues and I believe as the church it is our job to do the same.
