Christian Married Sexuality
This entry was posted in Daily Links and Notes. Bookmark the permalink.
The entire business about “Smokin’ Hot Wife” smacks of what once was called worldliness. At its core is a notion of sexuality as integral to personal well-being. (As a married Christian i deserve good sex, so to speak). And Calvinists have played their part here, haven’t they? We pretty regularly think of sex as a creational good. But at least for Evangelicals, such a stance is a trap: once you start there, you have basically surrendered on young adult sexuality (think of Tim Keller’s warning).
