Christians and Sex (yes, I said it)

Don’t worry, I’m not going to be talking about sex – I like my job, so I’m going to steer clear of too much controversy. OK, maybe I’ll talk about it a little.

While my husband and I did youth ministry for years, we were always asked to go to purity seminars and Princesses of Jesus this and that. We never did it, not because purity isn’t important (it is!) but we just never felt it was done right. You were either taught that sex is bad – and that is a hard idea to break once you’re married – or you’re taught that if you stay pure, God has prince charming waiting for you – also, not helpful, or true.

I ran across an article yesterday that really broke down the confusion that we as Christians tend to have regarding sex and are maybe telling our kids.  I encourage you to read it and let me know what you think.
