Sex is Bad ----------------Sex is a Gift-------------------Sex is Food

“Why is sexuality important to God? Why does the Bible speak so strongly against sexual immorality and divorce? Because sexuality is a holy metaphor of a God who invites us into covenant with Himself. God created you as a sexual person in order to unlock the mystery of knowing an invisible God.”

Dr. Juli Slattery, Rethinking Sexuality: God’s Design and Why It Matters

The best sex on earth is just a dim foretaste what it will be like with Jesus when we are with Him one day.
