FORUM NOTES - Vaughn Roberts - 'Pure Sex'

We live in a society obsessed by sex. By the age of 18, we’ve seen roughly 9,000 acts/suggestions of sex in the media!!

The world says ‘you haven’t lived till you’ve had sex’. And we believe it!

BUT, it MUST make sense to live according to the maker’s instructions…

There’s a misconception in our culture that society is for sex, and Christianity isn’t. That’s not true either!

What about homosexuality…? Since the fall, the whole of creation is out of joint. So people may have desires that feel natural, but just aren’t. But anyway, Christianity is INCLUSIVE. God loves all his people. He hates sin, yes, but he loves his people despite their sin, because of Jesus’ work on the cross. And he hates all sin – lying as much as acts of homosexuality.

Our society ahs a generation growing up very cynical of marriage. But whatever they say, it’s NOT just a bit of paper.

“Co-habitation is a trial marriage, that turns out to be a trial and not a marriage”

Marriage is for life. It’s based not on feelings but on commitment. Not on passions but on promises.
“You know I love you, I always will. My mind’s made up by the way that I feel.” But if your mind’s made up by the way you feel, it’s not clear you’ll always love that person…
