SEVEN MINUTE SEMINARY

Moving Forward in Our Conversations about Sexuality

In many conversations about sexuality, the church has used homosexuality as a scapegoat to evade the bigger issues resulting from the sexual revolution. In today’s Seven Minute Seminary video, Dr. Mark Ongley suggests that the church should begin having candid conversations both about sexual brokenness and about the wonderfully-designed gift of sex that God gave his creation.

Maintaining purity of heart in a sex-saturated world is a challenge for all believers. Sensuality has always grabbed our attention, but with the Internet, explicit and highly addictive material is jus ta click away. A glance becomes a gaze, a gaze can become an obsession, and obsession unchecked can bring the chains of addiction. Getting free can be maddening. But freedom is possible! Studies reveal that abstinence from addictive behavior for ninety days can place you on a new plateau of victory. But you can’t do it alone. Gritting your teeth and making more promises leads only to disillusionment and despair. Banding together with a few trusted friends, however, is a key to liberation. Get the guidebook Pure Hearted: Banding Together for Sexual Wholeness to begin your journey toward sexual wholeness.

Mark Ongley’s book, Into the Light: Redeeming the Church’s Discussion of Sexuality is available in our store, along with video segments that can be watched or studied by individuals and/or groups.
