Embracing Christian Sex in a Pagan World

Our pagan world is just plain wrong about sex. Quite wrong in fact. It tells us that sex is a form of entertainment, a kind of recreational sport. It tells us that sex is just for fun and games. But is it really? Is that what it is all about? Sure, sex can be very enjoyable, but pleasure is not really what sex is all about. In fact, if sex was just about fun and games, then why is it whenever we treat sex that way, we are left feeling so empty and so unfulfilled? Even more to the point, why are so many people left hurting when sex is only used for fun? Our pagan world tells us that sex is just another form of entertainment, but if that were true, it is certainly a messy and risky form of entertainment. For example, there are all the unintended pregnancies followed by a very limited option of painful choices. Then there are the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), many of them incurable, lifetime “gifts” from forgettable partners. A woman can look forward to all of the pills and shots which not only disrupt her body’s natural function but also have numerous side effects, many of them quite serious. Then there is all the superficiality, and what is so fun about that? Last but not least, there is the tragedy of divorce and the broken families it leaves behind. How is it that so many couples who once loved each other so tenderly can grow so far apart they end up divorcing? Clearly, something is wrong with this picture. But what? In this book you will find answers to these questions that make sense. Furthermore, these answers will help you experience sexual intimacy in the way it was intended, a way that will make it truly enjoyable and fulfilling. Finally, these answers may come as a surprise to you because they will come from a Christian perspective. In point of fact, Jesus Christ taught that sex is for something far more profound and significant than simply pleasure, or fun or entertainment. Quite the contrary, God designed sex to be a sign of something very personal and very good. He intended that it be a gift from one lover to another, and in that context, it is far more than just a pleasurable activity. When God’s plan for intimacy is respected, sex is not just good, it becomes holy and the sign of a sacramental union between a man and a woman. Even if you are a Christian or have come from a Christian background, you have probably never heard of sex described in this way. Nevertheless, it is the right way to think about sex and the only way that will lead to true happiness. So, if you are tired of uncommitted relationships and one night stands, if you feel something is missing from the whole cohabiting thing or if you are uneasy with the things you have to do or take to keep from getting pregnant (or getting someone pregnant), then read on. In this book, you will find the answers to your questions.
