The "Sexperiment" and The Truth!

2 Timothy 4:2-4
New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

The other evening I was watching the local news when I saw a news story about a local church's pastor and his "sexperiment". I thought about the idea of this being used for saving marriages and families by the startling concept that was presented, but I soon began to hear the Word of God speak to my heart about how in the last days, we will seek out teachers who will design their ministries to please men and draw in men to hear their fresh new revelations and directions and inspirations from "God".

I do firmly believe (and I have preached) that God made the marriage bed to bring us closer to Him. The experience of "making love" with your wife or husband is as close as one can get to experiencing the intimacy that God wants for us to experience with Him. My point is that there is no experiment necessary for men and women to find romance in their marriages. The answer to a long and satisfying marriage bed is drawing in close to God and Loving Him with all you heart, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

There is nothing new under the sun. Trying to draw attention to yourself will not glorify God to the point that the lost come to your church to find God. The spectacle of lying in bed with your spouse on top of the church for 24 hours, is not founded in scripture or sound doctrine. This so called "sexperiment" will only cause people to want to see you in bed with your spouse.

So I ask, have we heeped unto ourselves teachers, having itching ears? Have we turned away from The Way, The Truth, and The Life, which is God's Word? I say pointedly, Yes we Have! But I am also saying that I have to preach!

I have to preach the truth! I have to preach Jesus! I have to tell you that only Christ can save you, only the Holy Spirit can draw you in.

I like what the scientist Galileo said "All Truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered. The point is to discover them".

I say discover the truth in God's Word. God does want us to have satisfaction in our marriages. God loves us more than we really know, but you can get a glimpse of His love in your spouses eyes. The Church does not need gimmicks and publicity stunts to reach the lost. The Church just needs to get back to preaching The Truth. Seek men of God who are not afraid to preach the Truth.

I just have to preach!
