You have the power to transform sex into worship of God, with God.

Download or read book The Power of Purity written by Irv Woolf and published by Christian Focus. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Christians live lives of purity in a world that has become so sexualized? Who sets the standard for purity: the culture, Christians, God? It doesn’t take a lot to recognize that we live in a highly sexualized culture. Billboards and store fronts use sexual messages to call us to buy their products or services. Magazines and newspapers assault us with sexual ads. Turn on the television, computer and specifically, the internet and the sexuality becomes even more blatant often crossing the line into pornography. Sexual messages showing an abundance of skin are used to sell everything from lingerie to beer. As if that wasn’t enough, there are advertisements for erectile dysfunction, penile enlargement, breast augmentation and all manner of birth control on television, radio and in print. People have become numb to the boldness of these messages and no longer blush. We are boiling in a sexual stew and like the proverbial frog in the kettle, we are being cooked as the heat rises and society’s standards are lowered. Are Christians immune from all of this? Were that it was so! Christian men, women and teens are called to be “in the world, not of it.” (Romans 12:2) Yet, by being in the world, many have become conformed to the world. Instead of serving as thermostats and changing the culture, many have become thermometers reflecting the culture in which they live. The culture uses sexuality in ways never intended by God. As the poster picturing gears, chains, sprockets and wheels all tightly strung together wistfully muses, “God made us plain and simple. My how we have complicated things.” God designed sex to be plain and simple. His original design was for sex to be for procreation and pleasure. His original design was for men and women to use sex to carry out His command to “be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28). Sex is to be the glue of marriage sealing the marital covenant between a husband and wife. As a veteran pastor for over thirty years, Dr. Irv "Sarge" Woolf, provides "battle-tested" practical answers as he shares God's design for sex in a sex-saturated world. Irv takes us back to that original blueprint, back to sex as God originally intended it. He describes the God of holiness and God's standard for holiness. In warning us about the enemies of purity, he describes how the world, the flesh and the devil have corkscrewed sexuality and twisted it into a self-serving distortion of what God intended it to be. Irv identifies the key weapon of the enemies arsenal: sexual immorality. Finally, Irv shows us the clear difference sexual purity makes in the life of a man, a woman, a marriage and a family. Irv is no ivory tower theologian but a man who applies the Word of God in practical fashion to the everyday world of temptations. He understands what it takes to live in purity. As a former pastor who launched Every Man’s Battle For Purity in his home church, Irv is eminently qualified to write about this topic. God’s hand is upon him and his ministry to purify the Bride of Christ. May the Lord use him. The Church desperately needs purifying.

Download or read book The God of Sex written by Peter Jones and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A placard carried in the San Diego Gay Parade said it all: "He's your God. They're your rules. You go to Hell." Clearly, there is no longer any commonly held ultimate authority. So merely quoting Bible verses at gays and other "sexual sinners" to prove they are immoral is equally unsuccessful, if not destructive. For the sake of our young people, for the sake of our churches, for the sake of society and our world, Christians must understand the connection of spirituality and sexuality if we are to communicate relevantly to our postmodern culture. Jones gives an objective, honest appraisal of contemporary sexual trends and puts them up against God's clear (and beautiful) design for sex as a spiritual expression. Features and Benefits Helps Christians break out of typical parameters to help them understand and relevantly engage the culture. Nonbelievers will find this book objective and non-offensive, fairly representing postmodern worldviews. Thorough index and bibliography makes this book a powerful resource tool.

Download or read book God Loves Sex written by Dan B. Allender and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a sexually mad world where God's gift of sex has been distorted through pornography, promiscuity, prostitution, abuse, trafficking, and rape. The church's position on sexual matters has been made clear throughout history: all sexual activity outside the boundaries of Christian marriage is sin. But rarely has the church honestly addressed the true needs of Christians who are struggling with sexual desires they believe to be counter to the Bible. So we hide our struggles and pretend to live above the erotic fray, or else we cozy up to the culture's redefinition of which sins are acceptable. But what does the Bible really say about sexual desire and sexual intimacy? God Loves Sex offers a truly liberating, godly view of holy sensuality by recovering the clear meaning of the Song of Songs as God-sanctioned eroticism. Then it uses that lens to answer questions posed by a fictional new Christian struggling with expectations of sexual purity. It asks provocative questions, such as What does it mean to be both holy and filled with rich sexual desire? and How can our sexual struggles take us deeper into the purposes of God? Pairing psychological insight with sound biblical scholarship, Allender and Longman bring it all out into the open, allowing Christians of any age and any marital status to discover sex the way God meant it to be.
