Join Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. of Aquinas 101, Godsplaining, and Pints with Aquinas for an off-campus conversation with Prof. Alexander Pruss on science, wonder, and the existence of God. You can watch this interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/oclIhR50WZ4 About the speaker: Alexander Pruss is professor of philosophy at Baylor University. He has two PhDs, one in mathematics and one in philosophy, and does research in metaphysics, philosophy of religion, ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science and philosophy of mathematics. Much of his work is centered on showing how pretty much everything in reality points to the existence of God.

In his spare time, Pruss engages in a variety of hobbies including electronics, software development, and indoor rock climbing where he recently got two Guinness World Records.
NOTES: Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 2 Peter 3:3 CLUE #1: People will MOCK God's Word. For people will love only themselves and their money. 2 Timothy 3:1 CLUE #2: People will LOVE their MONEY. They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. Jude 18 CLUE #3: People will mock Christian SEXUAL ETHICS. Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. 1 Timothy 4:1 CLUE #4: People will INCREASINGLY love FALSE teaching. From this we know that the last hour has come. These people left our churches… 1 John 2:19 CLUE #5: People will LEAVE the church. QUESTION #1: Do I REVERE God's Word? QUESTION #2: Do I SERVE money? QUESTION #3: Do I HONOR God with my desires? QUESTION #4: Do I let God's Word SEARCH me? QUESTION #5: Do I LOVE the Church? BOTTOM LINE: When everything seems to be falling apart, everything is falling into place. THE CHALLENGE: Ask the QUESTIONS of yourself. QUESTIONS? Text: endtimes to 94000
The question of “who am I?” Is the result of living in an age where expressivism as an individual and embodied endeavor is seen as the highest good. Anything that doesn't allow me to express myself, either is itself a sin or it's dogmatic. And this is a tension with our age that we feel as Christians. Why? Because Jesus has something to say about who we are. Jesus gives you an identity. And even more, Jesus sets boundaries to our sexual self-expression. Why? Because throughout the Christian tradition, Chrsitians have understood that following Jesus is an embodied experience. We don't just follow Jesus in our minds, or in our souls, there is a synthesis between our heart and our bodies. And what does that mean: well it means, that as Christians, we don't just have a hope that we assent to in our minds. But equally, as Christians, our bodies too can preach our hope. Our bodies can preach our hope.

While we work on our next series, we thought we'd take the opportunity to highlight a couple of episodes from the vault. In our second series, we took on some of the most common questions we get asked about faith and sexuality, including this one: isn't the Christian sexual ethic harmful and repressive?In the first half of the show we explore ways in which Christians and churches have sadly harmed people in the areas of sex and sexuality. We talk about how silence has made it hard for people to feel safe and understood; how churches have sometimes created cultures of shame; and we discuss the damaging legacy of conversion therapy.In the second half, we push back on the claim that the pattern for sexuality laid out in the Bible is harmful, and we share our own experiences of the Christian sexual ethic as life-giving.

God cares about what we do with our bodies, including how we handle sex. Because of this Christians have a sex ethic which is often ridiculed by our culture. Culture says that sex is both absolutely everything (our identity factor) and that it means nothing (because it's just physical) all at the same time. Which is it? And how should we approach thinking about sex, beauty, desire, and identity? The fact that we are asking these questions is not a mistake. Join us as we look at what scripture says concerning sex.Genesis 2:18-25; Genesis 1:26-28 // Jonathan Neef24.01.28SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): : https://www.bible.com/events/49198318PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new

Our view of sex has been shaped by many factors, including our culture. But sex is a sacred gift from God to humanity. How does the Bible talk about sex and show how God has created sex to be? This may seem like a topic that most people know, but too often the culture makes its way in - shaping an improper ethic within the Church. In this episode, Rick and Brad will look at how Scripture defines sex and how we should and can turn from what culture says about sex and live redeemed, following God's intent for sex.

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) - Episode 535 - Iconoclastic Sex: Christian Sexual Ethics and Human Trafficking Guest: Henry Walter Spaulding III Christian sexual ethics operates from a place of privilege when it does not consider those impacted by its moral prescriptions. A large majority of publications on Christian sexual ethics consider choices and images abstracted from lived conditions of the people called to make these decisions. As such, it leaves out many for whom sex is neither welcome nor a choice. As such, these same texts present images of sexual subjects that marginalize those that do not fit. As the book presents, sexuality, both Christian and otherwise, prioritizes a language of purity that strangles the life of those imaged impure. The present book remedies this emphasis through the language of iconoclasm that blasphemes these images and opens theological reflection beyond the boundary of image-based approaches. Utilizing a qualitative study of survivors of trafficking and those who grew up under evangelical purity teachings, Spaulding narrates sexual ethics in light of their testimonies and the theological resources of iconoclasm to articulate a more just and loving sexuality. The new emphasis on sexual ethics not only resists the prescriptions that create the conditions of sex trafficking but the creation of new communities capable of solidarity and mutuality with those caught in the web of trafficking.

In this series, we'll discuss some of our culture's most contentious issues. We'll look at Scripture to guide us on how to approach these topics with truth and grace and how to have the right mindset as followers of Christ. Today, we tackle the topic of sexuality and how the Bible helps us form a Christian Sexual Ethic.
Join us as Pastor Jared and Pastor Tyler work through Mark 6:14-29 and discuss Christian sexual ethic in today's culture and our own personal life. Biblical Story of Mk 6:14-29. (0:41) Cultural Sexual Ethic vs. Christian Sexual Ethic. (7:01) How does this text warn and encourage us in our personal life? (17:28)
In this episode, Patricia talks with Pastor Daniel Darling about his new book: Agents of Grace: How to Bridge Divides and Love as Jesus Loved. They dive into the raw and honest conversation about the importance of fighting for the right things in Christianity. We explore the core beliefs worth fighting for, such as the Trinity, the Virgin birth, and the exclusivity of Christ. But it's not just about arguing for the sake of arguing. We learn that love and truth should always go hand in hand, and that the way Christians conduct themselves in fights or discussions about their beliefs is crucial.To Purchase the book: Agents of GraceTo find out more about Patricia's book Twelve Inches: www.PatriciaHolbrook.com To read Patricia's column for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution based on this interview: www.

Today's Bible study on Christian sexual ethics was originally taught as a Wednesday night Bible class at the church of Christ on McDermott Road. This was the final lesson in a series entitled, "True Love: The Truth About Sexuality in a World of Competing Ideas." The post Looking for True Love: A Class on Christian Sexual Ethics appeared first on Radically Christian.
This episode is the second part of an interview with Pieter Valk. In part one of the interview, Pieter laid out his heart and his vision for helping gay people follow Jesus and find love, support, and belonging within the church while adhering to the theological orthodoxy and commitment to the historic Christian sexual ethic of God's design for marriage and sex between one man and one woman. In this episode, Pieter addresses some pushback and questions he has received, not just in general, but specifically from pastors and leaders. Pieter answers with truth, grace, and love. Some of the topics covered in this episode include: How does Pieter handle people being skeptical about his ministry because of his sexuality? How does Pieter respond to pushback against the side B sexuality movement, which sometimes lionizes the gay identity and propping up gay Christians to almost a celebrity status? Is gay sexual sin is worse than straight sexual sin? Why does Pieter uses the term "gay Christian" at times, and what does he say to those who would say the term is misleading or stumbling? How do we Model what it looks like for two ministry leaders to disagree on something in a way that's gracious and an example of iron sharpening iron? Overall, the conversation is a phenomenal one! We really hope it blesses and encourages you as you follow Jesus and try to make an impact in the culture for His Kingdom.
There are no more controversial issues in our culture right now than the issue of sex and identity. We're having those conversations at Real Life Church in our series Sex&Theology.

Disciple Up #297 The Gospel Coalition's Sex Article By Louie Marsh, 3-8-2023 An article was published on the Gospel Coalition's website last week. It immediately drew criticism, even from people who don't engage in online criticism like Rick Warren. In response TGC published a PDF of the intro and first chapter of the as yet unpublished book to help “give context.” That only drew even more criticism and so as of March 6th, 2023 the link to that PDF became a link to an Open Letter. I'll be reading the letter and then reading some excerpts from the PDF which I downloaded and is no longer available. In the show notes you'll find a few excerpts from the article but not the PDF since I don't own it and don't want to break the law. The link to the letter of apology is below. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/sex-wont-save-you/ Dear Readers, Thank you for your feedback on the Keller Center's book excerpt from Joshua Butler posted on March 1, 2023. And thank you for your patience while we took the time to listen to our critics and the serious objections from concerned fellows, as well as discuss this matter with our Board of Directors and care for our friend Josh. Earlier this week, we accepted Josh's resignation as a Keller Center fellow. He will no longer lead an online cohort with the center nor speak at TGC23. While he will no longer participate in these events, Josh remains a beloved brother and friend whom we respect and care deeply about. To our fellows and our readers, please forgive us. The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics is a new effort by TGC, and we are still learning how to work with our directors and our fellows to produce content that will serve our readers in a way that is trusted and wise. To ensure greater accountability with our fellows, we will develop better review systems for our work together. We will also review our publication processes more broadly at TGC and develop plans to ensure greater accountability to you, our readers. Again, thank you for your patience with us. At TGC, we want to provide a venue for healthy dialogue and robust debate on important matters that affect us all. We want to model grace-filled conversations, and we want to learn from one another. In this case, we failed you and hurt many friends. Thank you in advance for your continued prayers. For Christ and his gospel, Julius Kim President The Gospel Coalition Excerpts from the article that started it all Sex Won't Save You (But It Points to the One Who Will) MARCH 1, 2023 JOSH BUTLER I used to look to sex for salvation. I wanted it to liberate me from loneliness; I wanted to find freedom in the arms of another. But the search failed. Sex wasn't designed to be your salvation but to point you to the One who is. Union with Christ Sex is an icon of Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5:31–32, a “hall of fame” marriage passage, the apostle Paul proclaims, “‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church” (NIV; I've translated proskollao as “cleave”). Paul says both are about Christ and the church. This should be shocking! It's not only the giving of your vows at the altar but what happens in the honeymoon suite afterward that speaks to the life you were made for with God. A husband and wife's life of faithful love is designed to point to greater things, but so is their sexual union! This is a gospel bombshell: sex is an icon of salvation. How? I'd suggest the language of generosity and hospitality can help us out. At a deeper level, generosity is giving not just your resources but your very self. And what deeper form of self-giving is there than sexual union where the husband pours out his very presence not only upon but within his wife? Here again, what deeper form of hospitality is there than sexual union where the wife welcomes her husband into the sanctuary of her very self? Giving and receiving are at the heart of sex. The Bible makes this distinction explicit. The most frequent Hebrew phrase for sex is, literally, “he went into her” (wayyabo eleha). Translations often soften this for modern ears, saying he “made love to her” or they “slept together.” But the Bible is less prudish than we are, using more graphic language to describe what happens in the honeymoon tent. Sexual Union Pictures the Gospel This is a picture of the gospel. Christ arrives in salvation to be not only with his church but within his church. Christ gives himself to his beloved with extravagant generosity, showering his love upon us and imparting his very presence within us. Christ penetrates his church with the generative seed of his Word and the life-giving presence of his Spirit, which takes root within her and grows to bring new life into the world. Inversely, back in the wedding suite, the bride embraces her most intimate guest on the threshold of her dwelling place and welcomes him into the sanctuary of her very self. She gladly receives the warmth of his presence and accepts the sacrificial offering he bestows upon the altar within her Most Holy Place. Their union brings forth new creation. Editors' note: Josh Butler—a fellow at the newly launched Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics—will be leading a seven-week online cohort this spring on “The Beauty of the Christian Sexual Ethic,” based on his forthcoming book Beautiful Union (Multnomah, 2023). The cohort—limited to 200 participants—will meet weekly from May 11 to June 22, 2023. Learn more and register.

One would almost need to be blind, or at least ignore the media, not to realize that sex, in one form or another (frequently illicit), has become the idol of our day, the goddess who must be honored. Not to do so has become a form of blasphemy against cultural norms. Nebuchadnezzar-like we have lost our minds. And the problem with losing our minds is that we never know it, because they are the instruments by which we accept our folly and treat it as wisdom. ~ Sinclair Ferguson Join us on Sunday and together we'll learn sexual ethics from Jesus as he explains the seventh commandment.

In this episode I reivew Heavy Burdens by Bridget Eileen Rivera. I discuss how we as the church treat other people in unloving ways and how we can learn to recognize the voice of Jesus. We have to start treating every person we see as a fellow image bearers of God. The church should look different than the world, but the question is do we look better or worse?

In this last episode on a 4 part series on Healthy Christian Sexual Ethics, Ashley unpacks Margaret Farley's last four norms. Farley's norms for a just sexual ethic are:1. Do no unjust harm.2. Free consent.3. Mutuality.4. Equality (of power).5. Commitment.6. Fruitfulness.7. Social Justice.Ashley also walks listeners through bell hooks' definition of love. If Farley's norms provide a foundation for just love, bell hooks' provides the building blocks for healthy, romantic love. According to hooks, love is spiritually nourishing yourself and nourishing someone else. We express that spiritual nourishment through 6 actions:1. Care2. Commitment3. Trust4. Knowledge5. Responsibility6. RespectFor further study, check out bell hooks' book "All About Love: New Visions" and her companion book "Communion."

On today's episode, we take a short break from Margaret Farley's 7 norms of "just sex" to talk about the gray matters around our Christian faith and sexual intimacy. When is it the right time to have sex? Should sex be saved until marriage? What does the bible say about casual sex and hook ups? How does that fit into Farley's 7 norms for just sex?In this episode, Ashley refers to Nadia Bolz-Weber's book "Shameless: A Sexual Reformation." Ashley walks through these questions and more as she deconstructs toxic Christian theology around sex and intimacy.

In this interview from October 2015, Lee Webb, Chris Larson, and Owen Strachan discuss the theme of October 2015's issue of Tabletalk, "The Christian Sexual Ethic."
In the first half of the show we explore ways in which Christians / churches have sadly harmed people in the areas of sex and sexuality. We talk about how silence has made it hard for people to feel safe and understood; how churches have sometimes created cultures of shame; and we discuss the damaging legacy of conversion therapy.In the second half, we push back on the claim that the pattern for sexuality laid out in the Bible is harmful, and we share our own experiences of the Christian sexual ethic as life-giving. Oh, and you can find out what we've all been enjoying on TV recently.Resources mentionedIsn't the Christian Sexual Ethic Harmful and Repressive?

Parents and youth workers, are you taking the time to teach kids God's design for sexuality? Here are some suggestions on how to do this. Spend time reading and studying God's Word, making note of passages dealing with sexuality that you can discuss with your kids. Be sure they know that the Bible affirms sex as a beautiful gift from God for one man and one woman to indulge within the context of a monogamous, committed, covenantal, life-long heterosexual marriage. Let them know that God created sex and gives it to married couples as a way to consummate their marriage, pleasurably enjoy themselves, show their love for one another, and have children. God's Word is full of passages that will help you in your efforts to teach your children. Be sure to challenge and correct sexual misinformation when you encounter it in the world. Finally, think out loud with your kids about sexual rights and wrongs in order to equip them for a lifetime of thinking biblically for themselves.

The Christian Feminists talk about Christian sexual ethics.
On our second episode, we tackle perhaps the most divisive question in the Church today: sexual ethics. We are joined by author Rozelle White and HBU New Testament professor Paul Sloan. Join us as we look at new understandings of Christian sexual ethics and what the Bible says about it all.
When it comes to sexuality, we live in confusing and divided times. Today we do an introduction to Christian Sexual Ethics. Our goal is not to conform to the political left or the political right but rather to hear what the New Testament is trying to teach us. Our goal is not to talk about “those” people who may differ from us in their beliefs, but rather to ask “Lord, what would you have ME do ?”

Well, if you didn’t learn it from our time in Songs of Songs, let me make it clear: God is pro-sex. He created sex for the good of mankind and for His glory. God is so pro-sex that He wants to protect it from the many ways that mankind distorts it’s power for selfish gratification. The Corinthian church was recovering from a twisted, worldly sexual ethic, and didn’t know how to use their freedom in Christ rightly. They argued, “If the stomach was made to be satisfied with food, aren’t other parts of body made to be satisfied?” Paul instructs rightly that such satisfaction should be found only in marriage between a man and a woman. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation.

1 Corinthians 6:12–20 Flee Sexual Immorality [12] “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. [13] “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. [14] And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. [15] Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! [16] Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” [17] But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. [18] Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. [19] Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, [20] for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Communicating the Beauty of Christian Sexual Ethics Sex is everywhere in our culture, yet an intimidating subject for many Christians to talk about. We may be convinced God's vision for sex is true but is it also good and beautiful? We'll explore some fresh language, imagery, and concepts from Scripture, to help us communicate biblical sexual ethics winsomely, narratively, and beautifully to a culture that is highly skeptical of the Christian vision.

En este programa se habla del libro "Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics", publicado por Sor Margaret Farley, perteneciente a las hermanas de la Misericordia de Estados Unidos. Este libro trata temas como la masturbación, los actos homosexuales, las uniones homosexuales y la indisolubilidad del matrimonio. Pero lo hace con criterios erróneos y contrarios a las enseñanzas del Magisterio de la Iglesia. La religiosa se niega a corregir lo que ha escrito en su libro y prefiere desobedecer a la Iglesia.

Sam Allberry, Matthew 19:1-12
The 60s sexual revolution has come around to bite us. Maybe prudish Christians have something to say after all? With influential members of the Media, Hollywood, and Politics falling right and left by way of accusations of sexual misconduct, are we heading back toward sexual chastity? Probably not...but everyone agrees that there are limits that need to be put on sexual behavior, and no one anywhere condones rape and abuse. A NYT op-ed piece seems to offer only one way out: male libido is inherently oppressive and should be done away with. In this issue of FROM THE CENTER, Hodges and Vowell (admittedly male and thereby inherently unreliable sources) discuss the article and offer a perspective that will surely enrage everyone.
In this episode, recorded live in California at Professor Mallinson's home, Rebecca interviews the author of the book "Sexy" about finding erotic virtue in perplexing times.
