Let’s have a conversation about this question!

Me:      With phrases like “back that thang up!”, “superman that ‘ho’! (yes, I know that these are older terms), and any other number of off-colored remarks that people use in the streets we can say that sex should be preached from the pulpit. 

You:  Say what?  The stuff people say dictates what should be preached in the pulpit?  

Me:  Yep!  I will add more to it before I take it back.

You:  But I thought the stuff that preachers say from the pulpit is supposed to come from GOD!  The stuff that people say in the street definitely ain’t from GOD.

Me:  True.  But who do you think made sex?

You:  I would say… (I abruptly cut you off)

Me:  Do you think that people in the street made sex?!

You:  No!!

Me:  You’re right.  I think people are shocked to say ‘sex’ and ‘GOD’ in the same sentence.  GOD made sex so that people would come together, fall in love, have babies, and enhance their relationship with each other.  People in the streets have turned this wonderful act given to us by GOD into some cheap trick done in the dark.

You:  Yeah right!  Sex is good… (I abruptly cut you off again)

Me:  How would you know?  Have you ever had sex?

You:  Yes, I have.

Me:  Was it with someone that you were in love with?

You:  Yes, at least I was at the time.

Me:  Yeah right.  You don’t know what you’re talking about…(You abruptly cut me off)

You:  You don’t know me like that old man!  The person that I was with cared about me, loved me, and we had a special time together.

Me:  Where are they at now?  Show ‘em to me!

You:  (You take time to explain to me the ins and the outs to why this special person, who loved you, took care of you, admired and adored you – but somehow – took a different turn.  You grew apart and walked down different paths in life.  But somehow they took a piece of you.  But all is well, because now there is someone else to take their place and You are feeling just fine.)

Me:  Like I said, you don’t know what you are talking about.  Love and sex are not the same thing.  While you can have sex without being in love, love can stand alone and sex will only enhance it!  People confuse the two because you can feel sex in your body, but it takes your spirit, mind and body to feel love.  You have it twisted when you go to bed with someone and try to feel filled up after sex.  But when you love someone, which ain’t the same as lust, you feel it in your heart first, then in your mind and your body just wants to respond to it.  When GOD made sex, He took a man and a woman that had never slept together, let them be in love first, and then ordained sex as the most pleasurable way to bring children into the world.  Now people go at their fancy and create all kinds of ways to have sex, but few, if any, ways of making love.  The other problem is people are trying to find love outside of marriage.

You:  You can find love outside of marriage, right?

Me:  You can find the person outside of marriage, but let me tell you, it is not until you make that commitment “til death do you part” that it all meshes!  Ask the divorced or separated people about that.  People come by the dozens, but love is for life!  Hold on, I have to take this call…
