Hey guys,
I came across this today. You may have already heard this guy, but I know that this is probably a challenge for us. Tell me what you think!

I think this is great! Thanks for share
I totally agree with his statements about its not just sex with a person's (a woman's) body but it's sex with our soul. I think it's a much deeper connection on the female's side than on the male's side. Jeff also talked about a woman never really finding satification from sex, "opening the present and finding it empty" which connects back to the Bible sense when Eve was curse to desire men/sex but never be satisfied because she ate the forbidden fruit.
I do think media/society makes it seem ok to have sex before marriage - everyone is doing it, it's all over TV and in music, it's just become the normal - you even have the show teen moms. I am not sure where we all as a people fell off, but we've all accepted this to be the normal and even from the Christian stand point of "oh well, The Lord will forgive me" or "God certainly won't keep me out off Heaven for sex when I've done this that and the third to serve Him" but isn't it a contradiction to say you live for The Lord and serve Him but you aren't following His word completely, and you haven't gotten to the point where you don't even care you aren't following His word (well this is just how I am or this is just how I coupe or I've been doing it this long so why stop now)
I think we all have a tendency to make excuses for things we know aren't right but they feel good or give momentary pleasure but then we feel bad afterwards (and that's for anything - sex, drinking, shopping/spending money we know we don't have, cursing, eating aware the pain, etc). But we are called to do better and we should put forth true effort to do so.
The scriptures we are reading are showing is how much God loves us, this season of Lent as we prepare for the celebration of the Resurrection is a reminder of the love sacrifice God made for us through Jesus - what are we doing to show God we love Him in return? It has to be more than lip service, more than church in Sunday, more than settling for going to church online cause you're tired but you had energy to go out the night before and the night before that, more than just reading His word, we need to be about ACTION - what greater way to show God we love Him than following His word and loving others?

So, for some reason I cannot register. I don't know if I need to try and create a new username or what. Anyway, I loved this video. I love the fact that it reminds us about His mercy and grace that is freely given to us because of His Love. We make mistakes and mess up and do things that are against our temple but He restores us and makes us new. This video makes me thank Him for constantly having a spirit of conviction. Most often I make an excuse for that feeling, like Courtney mentioned above, but I know that it is just God having my back. He wants me/us to be better.

Watching this video. Reminds me how Good God love is for us. And how he wants better for me and you. Yes this world has made it seem like Sex is a priority in a relationship. When really it isn't. Building a good relationship with someone should be based on who that person is, how well do they present their self, Their goals on life, how much he or she connects with you. And do they have the same goals in life as you. It shouldn't be how well or bad the sex is for you to base your relationship on that subject. They goal is to fight temptation and keep your body pure as God wants us to. So that we wont get our souls tied in with the wrong one, make things difficult with one another, and hurt one another feelings. These are some of the reasons why God ask us to wait till marriage.

This video is deep on so many levels and I'm glad I saw it. As others have posted, this world is heavily stimulated with sexual content and perversion. I fear for my one year old son, now, because of what may happen when he gets to the sexual stage of development. What choices will he make? Will he be able to use the morals/values that his father and I have instilled in him, and not be peer pressured or roped in with his "friends"? The world is actively content with going to hell. A sin is a sin, no matter how you cut it; however, sex is committed within.
