Notes:
Loved by another
Romantic attention
Sexual satisfaction
Trusting sources with failing records harms ourselves
Church:
Scare
Shame
Scandal
Sometimes churches create the illusion that God’s timeless truths are outdated and out-of-touch
Modern Take:
Personal happiness is what matters most
Freedom means “no restraints”, so if it feels good do it.
All our romantic wishes deserve to be met
Sex is only physical, it’s disconnected from our emotions, hearts, and souls
Love is whatever we want it to be, so trust your feelings
Modern Take:
Historically low marriage rates (30yr old avg)
5 Million people sex trafficked
1 out 4 women sexual assaulted
1 out of 2 15yr–24yr olds STD
7.1 billion visits in month OnlyFans
70 million - child pornography
How do we not get misled by either the church or culture?
Just because something is “good” doesn’t mean it erases the damage of misuse
Half-truths often create the most powerful lies
Going to the Original Source is the best place to find the truth
Half Truths:
Make a part the whole
Freedom equals no boundaries
Desire dictates behavior
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
- Matthew 6:25
Half Truths:
We make a part the whole
Freedom equals no boundaries
Desire dictates behavior
Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: everyone who sins is a slave of sin.”
- John 8:34
True freedom isn’t the lack of boundaries, it’s the absence of being bound to unwanted consequences
Half Truths:
We make a part the whole
Freedom equals no boundaries
Desire dictates behavior
…when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires…
- Ephesians 4:20-22
Half Truths:
We make a part the whole
Freedom equals no boundaries
Desire dictates behavior
God’s wisdom and truth helps us avoid the myth that misusing good won’t cause damage and dysfunction.
