I'm Mad

I had a frank discussion with one of the precious girls I mentor. She had some questions about a taboo subject. The subject was pertaining to the human body and how God created us. I found myself explaining things to her that were never explained to me because the subject was never discussed at church.

In fact, the only discussion I ever heard was at college; and the talk was titled,

‘How kissing can get you pregnant.’

And boy was that talk wrong…

Especially for this girl who has infertility issues.

So while sitting back and thinking through the conversation, I became really mad. I realized that in the last 20 years things have not changed a bit.

I wonder how things could be different – for many people if some discussions could have openly happened and been taught in a godly way.

I wonder if people would know how to approach marriage in a new way, with less expectations.

Could people know how to approach a honeymoon?

How to approach dating?

Or not dating?

How to approach the subject of Sex?

There I said it.

Why do we shrink from it like it's the worst word ever invented?

God created it for the purpose of marriage.

For the purpose of multiplying the earth.

For the purpose of raising up a new generation.

And we are afraid to discuss it with our young and lead them to a healthy understanding of what God intends.

And...this girl has the exact same knowledge at her age that I had at her age 20 years ago!!!

Did I already mention that?

Did I already mention that I’m mad?

So what do we do?

I believe we hit our knees and start gathering some strong men and women that are willing to approach and teach the subject.

I believe we need to find godly material that is accessible and trustable. I am in fact going to start working on this myself.

I have a son coming up in this generation – graduating in 2033. He needs a healthy understanding of God’s creation and His word. And dang it – I don’t want him having to ask other people what’s right and wrong.
