Listen, many people are curious when they hear the word sex. A simple, yet powerful three letter word; S.E.X. You see it on TV, many people like to have it and it catches your attention really quick.Is sex for everyone and anyone?? Well it depends on who you ask and their view on sex. There are many different ways and methods, but is there a right way and a right method and even for the right person?
Biblically, sex is great and meant for marriage. Many people in life don't mind sleeping with... well, anyone, but they miss out on "the one" for them. If you are not a Christian that may not make sense to you, but if you are a Christian, then Biblically you need to wait for your husband/wife.
Sex is a very, very touchy subject. Many have had unpleasant and even fearful experiences when it comes to sex and they need to deal with it. We are getting ready to launch a church. Its called Awaken. We are teaching on things like marriage, sex and a distorted view of sex called; porn. We are not afraid to open up and talk about the big elephant in the room. Jesus talked about the things that were relevant to the culture in which he preached. This Wednesday from 6:00-8:00pm we have a community group meeting and we'll talk about sex. Come with questions. Contact me if you are interested in helping us launch Awaken or if you wish to come and check it out. We just want to be real with God and each other. justin@awakencc.org
What do you think about sex?
PS I could write volumes on this subject, so this is simply a quick overview to get people thinking. We also look to launch a series about sex in the Fall at Awaken.
Community Group -Wednesday 6:00-8:00

Speaking of sex. Cool tit bit from Scientific America:
SEX
"Or put another way, why do males exist? Were it not for the maleness program set off by that scrub of a chromosome called Y (it contains a few dozen genes, compared with the X chromosome's 2,000 to 3,000), all human embryos would proceed down a default developmental path and become female.
The earliest life reproduced asexually, but at least one billion years ago, sex emerged. Today, it would be hard to find a multicellular organism that does not reproduce sexually (although some can reproduce both ways, like the Komodo dragon and its parthenogenic ability). But why sex evolved and persists is not entirely clear. All things being equal, a group of clonal reproducers should proliferate faster than competing sex mavens and drive them extinct. After all, asexuals don't have to spend time and precious energy looking for mates and thinking up better witticisms than, "Come here often?"
Thankfully for sexual creatures, all things are not equal—and considering how wildly successful it is, sex must be highly adaptive. Certainly, sex efficiently mixes the gene pool, but just how that mixing improves evolutionary fitness is not entirely clear. Perhaps it weeds out or masks mutations, most of which are deleterious, better than cloning does. Or maybe sex equips organisms with defensive genes to better fend off parasites and the diseases they bring."
Also a book: The Serpants Gift by Jeffrey J. Kripal - he tackles the really difficult issue of Jesus' sexuality and how those views strongly constituted and validated the formation of doctrine i.e. virgin birth, heterosexuality, marrage, celibacy, etc.
