When Sex is not Dirty: Matters of Marital Intimacy (1 of 4)
Series: One: God on Marriage & Singleness
Scott Maze
1 Corinthians 7:1-7
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. A day set aside in America for lovers. Valentine's Day causes us to think of romance... Lovers in Paris... Marriage Proposals on bended knees... Of writing ''Will You Marry Me?'' on the Jumbotron of a large stadium somewhere... And who can think of Valentine's Day without romantic music? From Marvin Gaye to Barry White.
We continue through our series in the letter marked as 1 Corinthians. And as we look at this letter, we arrive to a discussion on marriage. And over the next several weeks, we'll see how the Bible addresses the practical questions of relationships in our day. Details are provided in today's worship guide. We'll examine the Permanency of Marriage - what are God's rules on divorce? What happens when I am married to an unbeliever? What does the Bible say to singles? How about those who are single and are looking for someone to marry? This will be a great series to invite unchurched friends to in the days ahead.
We're offering a couple of resources to assist you on the subject of marriage in addition to this series. The Book of the Month is What Did You Expect?: Redeeming the Realities of Marriage by Paul Tripp, a terrific Christian counselor. You'll also be hearing more about a couples retreat our church is hosting entitled Let's Get Real on April 15-16 of this year. My goal this morning to talk candidly about a very important subject matter, the subject of sex. My aim is to do with sensitivity and tactfulness. In contrast to what seems to be happening in some churches across our country, I want to do without embarrassing you, my wife, or myself.
''Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: ''It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.'' 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own hus ...
