The talk


Sex; for a Christian this can be an awkward topic!!!  When I saw "The Talk" above, I immediately liked it. The sensitive, relevant, tactful handling of this topic was refreshing!!!  Learning about sex from the graffiti on bathroom walls or the crude descriptions of pre-adolescent peers, cheapens future relationships and fosters pre-martial sex.  Without sex, none of us would be here, so, it is necessary for the continuance of the species.  However, it should be handled with respect and understanding.  Paul refers to it in this way...

1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4
  1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.  2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.  3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,  4 that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,  5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God; 

First, there is nothing wrong with sex!!!  God designed our bodies to produce offspring!!!  Child rearing is a process that involves love and nurturing at every phase, including conception!!!!  Sex without sexual immorality is a must for Christians.  Purity of mind and what happens in our lives sexually is necessary for us to be sanctified to God.  How you handle your sexual life is your business, but whatever you do, consider God's will for your life.  Hopefully, your actions will send the right message to God, your spouse and your children!!!!
