The Marriage Bed & The Sexualized Culture
Modern culture is inundated with sexuality. Sexuality permeates television, film, music, magazines, commercials, the internet, every facet of modern media. Our culture is sexualized. Sexuality has always been part of life, but where did all the sexuality that saturates the media and modern culture come from? It came from the marriage bed. In earlier days, sexuality was confined to the marriage bed, in the hedges of the marriage covenant. But the fact that sexuality now spills over into everything is a sign that the hedge of marriage has been breached. It's no accident that the same culture in the marriage covenant is weak, broken, redefined, or non-existent; sexuality is everywhere. Marriage has long been society's hedge around sexuality. When such a hedge is broken, everything else becomes sexualized. As a believer, living in such days, whether married or single, make it your aim to all the more guard the hedge and sanctity of marriage, whether you're inside it or out. Guard and uphold the sanctity of sexuality, and, as it is written, let there not even be a hint of sexual immorality among you.
From Message #1163 - The Divorce Civilization I
Write down a hedge of protection that you can apply today to your marriage, your body, holy and sanctified to the Lord - whether married or single.
