Proverbs 5:18-19
New International Version (NIV)
18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
Pastor Peter Detoxed sexuality today. Though sex is intended for both procreation and pleasure, churches often just ignore or suppress discussions about it. One reason for this is that we do not distinguish between "desire", which is a healthy longing for relationship, and "lust", which is a an overpowering longing that enslaves. Ultimately, even sex is unfulfilling because we cannot be completely fulfilled outside of being in God's presence in heaven. Until then, we need relationship with Jesus and the supportive partnership of Christian community to avoid desires from becoming lusts.
