Sex is between the ears before it"s between the legs. When you think about sex, do you think about God at the same time? If you don"t, I don"t think you're really thinking. If you do connect God and sex in the same thought process, I believe you're thinking right.
The goal of this series called Sexual Revolution is for us to think right. I"ll say it once again. Sex is between the ears before it"s between the legs. We"ve got to think right. We"re not thinking right when it comes to sex. Our culture ambushes us with all these sexual ideas and thoughts. We drive down the freeway and see a billboard; we channel-surf and see a commercial. It"s on the internet, with clothing, everywhere we turn. The world is saying, "Do it! Do it! And do it some more! Do it with whomever! Whenever! Whatever! However!"
And now and then, we"ll stumble into church, and the church will whisper, "Don"t do it. Don"t even think about it. If you do it, you're going to hell!"
Talk about some confusing messages. Talk about some weird vibes. Do we deny the fact that we"re sexual? Do we pretend like we"re don"t have these urges? Or, are we enslaved to our desires? Do we say, "I can"t help myself? I'm just a person with these desires, with these urges, and I've got to go for it. I've got to do it with whomever, whenever, and however"?
If you have your Bibles, turn to Genesis 1. I"ll read verses 26 and 27, because today we"re going to find out the way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. The way you think determines the way you feel; the way you feel determines how you behave.
Genesis 1:26-27, "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, in Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
The goal of Genesis 1 is for us to be fully human. That"s huge to download that.
Ed Young Pastor says that"s God"s goal""for us to be fully alive, to hit on all cylinders, to experience an abundant life. That"s what Genesis 1 is driving at. The goal is for us to be fully human.
