No Regrets - Mark Beeson - Preaching about Sex

I really enjoyed this gutsy post recently from Mark Beeson.

I've been asked if I regret addressing the topic of sex at Granger Community Church.
The answer is, "No. Not one bit. Not for one minute."

Here is the video clip:


My Story from Granger Community on Vimeo.

(During the first week of the Sex for Sale series at Granger Community Church, hear first hand the story of a woman's journey to freedom. In the media she speaks of her sexual past and the pain she went through during that time, with the band playing Breathe Me by Sia as background music. The media transitions into the actual song performance.)

The video you just watched is the true accounting of a woman at GCC. The need for moral guidance is glaring. She'd be the first to tell you God's guidance was exactly what she needed most.

If the church doesn't teach God's plan for our relationships who will?
If the church doesn't open the Bible and call people to live in scriptural holiness, who will?
If the church doesn't bring God's instruction to people, who will?

I thank God for the scriptures He give us, lest we think no differently than the people of this world think.

1 Corinthians 2:9-13 It is just as the Scriptures say, "What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!"

God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God. You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind.
But God has given us his Spirit.
That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think.
That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us.
Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom.
And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people.
