I’m appreciative of the fact that you posted about this topic. The Church at large seems to have become quiet on such an important topic. It doesn’t understand that because sex was an original part of God’s good plan!

And I agree about the movie. People seem to be so excited about going to see it because of the “amazing cast” but is it really worth it – to be bombarded with ungodly images and ideas that slowly erode our biblical mindset toward sex, marriage, dating, and even friendships between people of the opposite sex?

I share the concern (agitation) of the writer. Unfortunately, marriage and sex has been cheapened. It is a sad commentary to know that it isn’t so far outside the mainstream to accept the concept of “friends with benefits.”

Sex is a God-given gift that is intended to bring a deep, spirit-level union between a man and woman. Because it is intended for such a union, it is misplaced in a relationship that is not intended to be life-long. Sex carries with it a permanent connection. When applied to a temporary or, at best, an uncertain relationship without a life-long commitment, sex wasted and polluted pleasure…an end in itself, rather than a means to an end.
