Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Texas Pastor, Ed Young, challenges his church members to engage in 7 dyas of sex with their spouse.

He told singles, like me, "Oh well." He also told all to show up next Sunday to get the reason behind his advice.

What are your thoughts on this?

Is this Pastor out of line?

Can sex become "legalistic"?

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Ed Young is a cutting edge minister, he understands the culture's allure for folks, so he presents the believers antidote. Bring it on, sex with your own spouse is heavenly!!! About time preachers got real. lol :evilglee

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

He's just ***** and wants to make it a commandment;):tease Sex is not legalistic but the absence of it could be:ursofunny

Might be a bit out of line for a whole church situation. Maybe in a couples seminar would it would prove to be more suitable.

There was a minister here in Memphis that had a fully made bed on his platform and he showed up to preach in his fancy bathrobe and his wife came out in her nice negligee. He then preceded to teach about pleasing each other and keeping it real so your marriage is strong and there's no need to seek for pleasure outside the marriage.

On of the problems was he forgot to dismiss the kids for children's church until about half-way through it.

It made the local news - - many were quite upset!

sex is a commandment.

the wife is created for the husband.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I think it was Joyce Meyer who joked "Single women are sad because they can't have sex. Married women are mad because they have to"

I wouldnt think this is using very good wisdom at all to do suxh thing in church in front of people.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I think the subject matter is fine and more churches do need to teach on it, BUT in a couples only setting and where the people have made the choice to be there.

To throw it out there on a Sunday morning with visitors and all age brackets wasn't too smart. They didn't have a clue what was taking place.

Here's the link to the thread where we were talking about that church I was talking about in Memphis.

Do you people honestly believe that a pastor has the authority to command or challenge a couple to have sex?! Whats next? The number and time of day for a bowel movemement? If any of you are so spineless to have to have this kind of advice you have more problems than any pastor can remedy.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I don't think I agree with his premise about lust and desire. I think you can have both in your marriage. Lust being defined as "intense sexual craving".

There are times that you can feel so full of love you desire your spouse and other times it's just an intense sexual craving. Just normal human emotion and feeling, IMO.

He is equating "lust" with something you crave outside of marriage - always. I don't agree with that. It doesn't always have to be that way.

My two cents. :D

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

LOVE is a commandment!

Husbands, love you wives even as Christ loved the church and
gave himself for it.

Could it be that if there was more of the LOVE that this is speaking
of, there might be more of what accompanies it! Love begets intimacy.
Not just not the bedroom. It needs to be consistant, day in, day out!
Not just on the day you feel a need to have sex. It cannot be one-
sided. Takes the love, words. and actions, day by day, from both hus-
band and wife.:roseglasses

Husbands, the way the day starts in the morning in the kitchen or else-
where, is most likely to follow you in the bedroom that evening. If there
is fighting in the morning, you most likely will need to take care of that
before the day is gone.

The Bible gives instructions for every need in the Word of God. Evidently
too many in our world today are not reading the Bible before they enter
their bedroom. There could be a lot of dialogue on this subject.:nod

No offense intended! Ever!:friend

Amen Sis. Falla!

Teach these young whipper snappers something!!!

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Scripture says, "Marriage is honourable in all & the bed undefilled...."


It is also nobody else's business what goes on there or how often!

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Just as long as it's going on! :ursofunny

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I think this is the other extreme from these simpleton preachers always harping about "sex curls", seductive long fingernails and wearing red.

They're as obsessed with sex as any convicted pervert.

But ... while there is nothing wrong with teaching that sex is good and wholesome from a christian point of view - this business of "have sex all seven nights this week" intrudes too much into the bedroom too.

Preachers should stay out of the married bedroom, period.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I think this could be better fodder for a marriage retreat. How about seven days of romancing your spouse? If couples are having trouble in this area, a "challenge" from a pastor for sex alone could cause problems.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I'm glad I'm not your wife!

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

LOL!!! Years ago either Ann Landers or her twin sister, dear Abby,

said "Those that are ALWAYS talkiing about it, that's about all their

doing"!:ursofunny:ursofunny

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

While I agree with Sis Falla's teachings completely, I agree even more with aak here! If a couple comes to a pastor for counseling and he gives that kind of advice, that's one thing. Or even if they go to a couple's seminar or something of that sort. That's fine. But from the pulpit on a Sunday morning? Or even a Sunday night or Wednesday night. NO WAY!!

Frankly, if my pastor preached this way, I would RUN, not walk, out the door. I would seriously wonder what motivated him to say something like this. Does he have a personal problem that I don't want to know about??

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

That is where Jim Jones and Father Devine started.

Seems innocent...

Then watch out...

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

And vica versa bubba:tease The Bible tells spouses not to defraud each other to keep them free from temptation.:ursofunny I studied about that one:) LOL

Maybe the pastor is getting kickbacks from the makers of Viagra!

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

:ursofunny you made me laugh out loud!

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Most people, including preachers, have enough to do to take care of their
own bedroom and marriage!
Paul made mention that until a man take care of his own house, how could
he take care of the house of God. (ITim.3:3-5)

There are many areas today that is being made manifest that the Word
of God is not being read, taught or followed enough.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I agree. "Lusting" after your spouse is NOT bad, and shouldn't be characterized as if it is. Sometimes it's romantic and "desire"...other times...well.

I agree with this, too. He would be better served to recommend that couples try having sex more often. But to give it a set time frame or number of times is just too much. Relationships are too complex to have that simplistic a solution. For one thing, women need to be "warmed up", and if a man is just going to say, "Hey, it's day 2, let's go," and expect something fantastic to happen in his marriage because of it--well, he's just delusional.

:whistle


On the flip side, there is something to be said for setting aside private time when kids, jobs, and other obligations get in the way of intimacy. Sometimes a spouse may not be in the mood, but once you get alone and start spending time together, that can change FAST!

If he recommended that couples spend, say, 1 hour a day alone, without the tv or cell phone or computer, just talking or having fun, the rest would probably take care of itself.

It IS refreshing to see pastors finally trying to address sex from a Christian perspective, but there are still boundaries. I would be afraid that some men in particular would use the pastor's strong suggestion to pressure their wives in a way that would not only be unhelpful, but would have the reverse effect.

That said. Jeff and I agreed when we got married that we wouldn't take grudges to bed with us, and that we would NOT use sex as a weapon against each other, and both of us have kept that commitment. I have ZERO patience with women who say, "Okay, buddy, no sex until you toe the line." No, work out the problem so you CAN have sex. Don't use it against your husband as a way to control him. And since men do (generally) have a greater sex drive than women, then it should be a given that sometimes there needs to be sex when he's the only who is in the mood.

As for men...well, it's cliched but TRUE...sex starts in the kitchen.

Miss Bratt - -

Great post!

Or at least if I remember correctly - that's how it should be! :whistle

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

There is a lot more to sex than just the act. It starts with intimacy and most therapists will recommend that is where you start. While I commend this pastor for addressing this issue, I think his method is flawed. It seems that he is using the sledgehammer of sensationalism with an issue that needs to be dealt with in wisdom and care.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

Sounds to me like a ploy to get more married men to join his one of his churches. :)


I say "one of" because he they have like five huge churches in the Houston area....most would be considered megachurches in and of themselves.

Oops, I was thinking about his father, Ed Young Sr, who pastors here. I can't think of any other father/son duo who has been so successful in establishing churches in different cities.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

As i stated on a different post I have heard thousands of sermons by hundreds of preachers. But this is a first for me. I do not understand the need for a pastor to get involved in every aspect of your life. The Bible refers to a pastor as a shepherd. A shepherd leads his sheep. A shepherd not a policeman, a counceler, an accountant etc etc.

Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)
 

I can't believe no one has said this yet - Seven Days of Sex Makes One Weak!

Maybe that's where he is headed with his message...Maybe it is ultimately about abstinence.
