What do you think about preachers who preach sex from the pulpit?

Ed Young is preaching sex from the pulpit and calling it the seven day challenge in which you write in a diary about your seven days of sex with your partner!

I personally think that a preachers job is to preach the gospel and not to preach to people about their sex lives, I think the church has turned from God and turned to sex, and money.

Just wanted to get others thoughts.What do you think about preachers who preach sex from the pulpit?Yes, I agree.

The church has always sought to control its members' sex lives; why should horny ol' Ed be any different?

I would be interested in knowing exactly what he said, and the context. Anyone know where to find it?
They preach sex from the pulpit now? Ive never been to church except for weddings and funerals, but hey I might go investigate it if they're preaching sex.



Do they provide videos and live instruction as well?



So what do they do with the 7 day diaries people write about their sex lives with their partners?? Read them out loud at the pulpit?



Interesting.
Except for sermons regarding God's views on the subject, it is not appropriate
For married couples that his what they should be doing.



I have no problem with that.




Yeah! What would give that guy the impression that husbands and wives should be fruitful and multiply? What a jackass!



You religious people are so cute when you're trying to hide every semblance of humanity.
it's a sad commentary on the state of christian marriage...
Guess it still sells. But I imagine he is using normal psychology counselling techniques to deal with couple's sexual health - which is perfectly OK since Christians deal with sexual issues and dysfunctions just like anybody else.


God's truth is available to all, including sexual activity, by reading the Conversations with God books by Neale Donald Walsch...Many preachers are now talking about sex, politics and anything else that diverts people away from the mythology that they themselves know is not true..
I imagine more than one will look something like this...



Day 1: Oh yeah,now I remember why I used to enjoy this.

Day 2: Twice in 1 month! Must remember to send a thank you to Rev. Ed.

Day 3: Doesn't that woman ever shut up? Now I remember why we stopped doing this...

Day 4: This ones for you Lord!

Day 5:Hurray for Viagra!

Day 6:So this is Hell...

Day 7:Changing churches next week!

He's just encouraging married sexuality, which is important. It's more pastroral than religious, but that's a valid role for a priest.
A CNN anchor (I don't remember her name) made the observation that married couples are probably having as much sex as they want already, so any sex the church was demanding in addition to that was against the will of one or both partners, and so constituted rape. I'm not sure if quite agree with that, but it bears consideration.
Well it depends...is that his only focus, or is he really challenging the issues in marriage that could cause the connection of husband and wife to lead to the disorder of what marriage should not be. Marriage was designed by God to show a connection of His relationship with the church. Of course sex does not have anything to do with the point I am making with that, but what is the true reason for sex/romance. To draw husband and wives closer together. Just because the world has made the subject sex so profane, does not mean that the design that God originally made sex should be looked at that way. Its all in how people look at things. Who are we to judge his ministry informing married people on that subject. Sex is an issue in society, so why not discuss it. If we never talked about sex in church in the proper way sex is to be presented, then how do we rid homosexuality, adultery, and fornication. I feel as long as he's presenting the topic in a decent and orderly manner then its fine
Ne ver heard of that, that's disgusting
OOOOh!



Somebody is uptight!



Trust me, you need to do this.... Even though, being a Christian, your sex-life is probably - how shall we say -



not firing on all pistons???



Jeesh, you Christians miss out!!!!






Christianity values family values....right?

Couples who have lousy sex lives tend to divorce. What family value is more important than sex?
I don't know enough about what his message is, but I wouldn't condemn the message simply because it is encouraging sex with your spouse. That's in the Bible for those who support preaching the Word. In this day and age with the high incidence of infidelity and divorce, I think that this type of challenge may be helpful in keeping the family unit cohesive.

People (mostly who don't attend church) take issue with a pastor preaching about sex from the pulpit but have no problem with the school system teaching it. How does that make sense?

Any time a preacher (or politician) seems to have a particular hang-up on what somebody else is doing, it usually means they are guilty of it themselves and projecting their guilt from the pulpit onto the congregation.
Even men of god get off teaching and talking about sex.
sex shouldn't be talked about in public churchs.

only with friends and possible partners.
