A battle for truth is at hand and the church is losing.
The world is being discipled by the demonic and fed counterfeit “truths” about sexuality.
This sexual discipleship is creating norms that feel good and sound catchy but create deep seated spiritual pain that goes unnoticed and unchecked.
Wounded people searching for answers have been fed misinformation that fills a void only meant to be filled by God.
We don't have a sex problem we have a spirit problem. But the lost and broken (even in the church) can't see this. They feel their feelings and sense their unsettled spirits and then search for anything that fills the void. Pornography, sexual exploration, polyamory, starter marriages, and gender identity issues are symptoms to a much, much deeper issue.
And the church as failed.
The church has been far to silent about matters of sexuality and has failed to see that every sexual question is really a spiritual question. Leaders and lay people have treated sexuality like a problem to sold rather than territory to reclaim for Christ. We have fought the wrong battle and lost ground in a very important war.
In Rethinking Sexuality Dr. Juli Slattery is leading the battle to reclaim the land:
“Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, discover a broader and more effective approach in this practical and groundbreaking resource. As you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness- your own or someone else's- you'll ultimately collide with and point others to the love and grace of Jesus.”
What I love about this book is that it isn't meant to brow beat those living in sexual sin and brokenness but rather it is meant to challenge, change, and equip believers the power of sexuality and how we can have relevant conversations sex in the context of biblical truth.
“Sexuality is a holy metaphor of a God who invites us into covenant with Himself.”
You see, we are not the solution the world needs. Jesus is. And until we realize that our words, actions, and attitudes about sexuality, sex, and sexual brokenness might not be biblical, we are contributing to the very problem we should know how to solve.
We will not see the power of Christ bring sexual revival until we change our prayer from Thank You, God, that I’m not like them to Oh, God, forgive me and my family for the ways we have contributed to the destruction of sexuality. We bear the guilt of so much of the pain around us. My God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
Order your copy today and prepare for a battle. You are soldier – let's advance the Kingdom and reclaim ground the enemy has stolen!
The changes in our culture in sexuality have nothing to do with what we've learned about man but what we've forgotten about God.
