Re: 2 Relevant??: Org churches to tackle Sex on Su

It strikes me as kind of gimmicky. Maybe in different venues it plays differently. It's definitely an important topic but I'd feel kind of embarrassed by the signage.

I'd feel more comfortable if it were given in like a seminar with only adults attending by choice. But that's just me. I do think the church has to address this stuff though. I support the idea of frank discussion in the church.

Great for adults only. But I'll be teaching my children about sex as I deem them mature enough. They'd have to have something separate for anyone under 18 or I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Remember the city where he is ministering. San Francisco shock! So you need something to get people's attention.

For once I agree with you! Churches have taught their young people all about Christian living but not how to act around the opposite sex. When I was growing up we couldn't skate, watch movies, go to amusement parks but no one ever told us we couldn't ride around in cars and what we couldn't do if we did. But somehow I knew and everything turned out OK but for too many it didn't.

We had a youth pastor at the church I attended a few years ago that counseled young people before their first date, telling them what they could do and what they couldn't do. Then after the date he called them in and asked them how the date went. Most of his young people turned out as workers for God. Not one of his young people got into trouble.The youth pastor is now a pastor in Brazil.
