An article about a Texas Pastor and his wife spending 24 hrs. on the church roof to live stream sex talk/help was posted on The Reformed Baptist Facebook Page and it caught my attention.Here is the original article - Roof sex talk article!
Mark Driscoll has also taken some criticism for his discussion of sex in the church - Mark Driscoll marriage controversy article!
I wonder if we have gone from ignoring sex in the church, to adopting a self-serving, almost idolatrous idea of it. Where does our concept of a good married sex life come from? Does it come from the Bible or has it been heavily influenced by the media and today's culture? Can we have love, joy, peace, faithfulness, etc. even if things aren't always as we would like in the bedroom? Not saying anything one way or another about my own marriage, but still......
I wonder how much discontent is caused by being sold a false idea of what is a "good" or "normal" sex life? If we only had these discussions with our spouses, had no exposure to other people's real or fictional sex lives and lived out a Biblical worldview (sacrificial love, not self-serving lust), would we have anything to compare to and increase our dissatisfaction with our own sex lives?
If we did as the Bible says and "loved the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and loved our neighbor (including our spouse) as ourselves", would this be an issue for most believers? I think not, and if someone is really having some problems they may do well to see a Biblical Counselor privately, as they might address spiritual issues if necessary, as well as refer to a medical Doctor if it seems to be a medical issue.
