This week we were trying to dispell some commonly held myths.
MYTH #1: MY SOUL AND MY SEXUALITY ARE SEPARATE.
TRUTH= They are inseparable. (see Matt 15:17-20 and 1 Cor. 6:15-20)
MYTH #2: SEX IS ABOUT SEX.
TRUTH= No, it’s about directing all of my sexual passions with purity. (See 1 Tim 4:12, Ephesians 5:3)
MYTH #3: SEXUAL SINS ARE THE MOST HORRIBLE OF SINS.
TRUTH = all sin is a perversion of God’s Truth. God doesn't have categories. (Romans 3:23-24)
MYTH #4: THE IMAGES WE GET OF SEXUALITY FROM POP CULTURE ARE NORMAL.
TRUTH= you rarely, if ever, see normal behavior or healthy images of sexuality in the media. (See 2Cor. 11:14 and Proverbs 5:1-8)
MYTH #5: WE’RE JUST DATING.
TRUTH= Dating is the beginning of a road that ends in marriage. Don’t take it for a joy ride. Respect the finishline.
MYTH #6: MY SEXUALITY CAN NEVER BE WHOLESOME AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
TRUTH= all sin is redeemable through Jesus. (see 1 thessalonians 4:1-7, 1 John 3:1-3, and Rom 6:23)
