Thanks everyone for all your comments about Sunday's sermon. Man it felt like a long time since I last preached. A couple of thoughts in reflection:
1. Chastity really hits home when we realize that it isn't about practicing a discipline, but 'When we find ourselves in that position'. It really does seem trite to think of practicing something when for many people they have no choice. Single people deal with this everyday.
2. The bible is quite clear about sexuality, even if our culture isn't. We often I think make excuses for the 'idols' in our life. In our sexuality what are those 'idols'? Mostly it comes back to- are we willing to die to our needs and desires?
If you want to find some great sermons on this topic look at http://www.marshillchurch.org/ (mark driscol speaks quite frankly about sex and marriage issues")
Actually I just noticed that mars hill has an applicable sermon series coming up called
'how to be sure you don't marry a coward'.
