    Sex

    Never has a godly perspective on sex been more needed in society yet it is so rarely discussed; this talk goes over a godly perspective on sex, a discussion of several "taboo" topics and gives solid steps towards achieving victory.

    Great Sex Note: this is applicable to all men: young, old, married and single Romance is God’s idea! God created the 2 sexes with a “need” for each other: Gen.2:18 - “It is not good for the man to be alone.” The entire book of Song of Solomon discusses romance, marriage and sex.

    Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.

    This sermon needs a disclaimer and it doesn’t need to be one of those bits of legalese that we see in 6 point type in a print ad, appears briefly in barely legible type at the bottom of a television screen, or is read as rapidly as possible by a radio announcer: “Offer listed is manufacturer’s ...read more
