OVERVIEW
The Problem
Somebody once remarked that if God had to do it all over again, He would make
humans sexless because of all the "hassles.' Yet, God did create human sexuality.
He created humans with the capacity to not only biologically reproduce, but to
also experience pleasure in the act of sexual intercourse. However, like many
divine institutions, humans have blighted sexuality with sin and human despair,
failure, manipulation and selfishness, or as the woman put it, "hassles."
Furthermore, sexuality has been corrupted and perverted. However disgusting or
heinous we may find these problems to be, they unfortunately exist in our community.
People need help and Scriptural wisdom and the Father's mercy in overcoming these
sins.
Author William Graham Cole pointed out in one of his books that sexual sins
are unique in one important aspect:
Stolen goods can be returned, or compensated for, lies can be retracted and
corrected, covetousness can be overcome. Even idolatry can be undone and forgiven.
But the sex act once committed with another person cannot be undone. The inter-personal
relationship has undergone a radical change, and the couple concerned can never
return to where they were before. Something indelible has stamped them both.
What does this mean? It means that sex is an area where
you really can't afford to be casual or careless, an area
where if you have any wisdom at all you will look and look
and look again before you leap.1
Many are seduced into thinking that there is a better way than God's. Many
people have sadly learned the bitter truth:
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the
ways of death.2
