Let's Talk About Sex, Baby...

Posted By: Ashley

The dreaded “S” word. Y’all already know that my sister and I are on #TeamJesus and we strive to live each day according to His will. But I think it’s strange that so many Christians shy away from discussing sex and sexuality. If we don’t talk about it amongst ourselves, how we can we ever talk about it? I am blessed to have such amazingly wonderful best friends who love God, love themselves and can talk openly and candidly about sex and relationships (like my sister in her post Young Love). I’ve heard from many women lately about the powers of temptation and I’ve experienced it myself. So I just wanted to offer a few words…

Whether you’re waiting for marriage, renewing a vow of celibacy, already married or sexually active – I think it’s important to talk about the beauty, the power, the sanctity of sex. Don’t cringe yet…

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”

-  1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Sex is everywhere around us and it’s easily available. As an unwed mother, I am not one to condemn or judge anyone for their actions. I do strive though to be conscious of the decisions I make, WHO I make them with and why. My body is not my own and let’s face it ladies…our bodies are beautiful and they are POWERFUL. It’s vital that we learn about our own strength and how to harness the power before we generously offer it to another.

I’m a woman of standards and I recognize my value and my worth as a Child of God. Knowing that I have a responsibility to God and that I have a powerful and sanctified tool - I will continue on my journey of acting consciously to cherish my temple.

What do you think? Let’s talk about sex…
