As Christians--ones who love and know the Creator of ALL things, including sex--we must take it back and teach our children the truth.

Sex is a beautiful gift from God. I think we can all agree on this. However, many parents and churches treat it like the “secret we should never speak of”. So, we inadvertently leave it to the world, and they are speaking loud and clear. But, we can’t blame the world for over-sexing our kids when we’ve practically taken ourselves out of the driver’s seat and handed the world the keys.

From the internet, to the salacious magazine covers in grocery aisles, to sexy television commercials, social media, “reality” TV, and easy access porn–SEX IS EVERYWHERE. As Christians–ones who love and know the Creator of ALL things, including sex–we must take it back and teach our children the truth.

As a teen, I was part of an amazing youth group that discussed all of the “hot topics” of the day. They would even have question-and-answer sessions in our small groups. So, when sex happened to be the topic, many of us were eager to hear what our leaders had to say.

One of my friends nervously raised her hand and asked the leader, “Um…how far is ‘too far’ when it comes to making out.” The leader paused for a moment and then proceeded to tell us–in Christian code language–that she was basically one kiss away from an orgasm, so it was probably wise to not even kiss a boy until you are married. As you can imagine, I left that small group conversation very confused and kind of grossed out. I couldn’t believe that kissing was considered off limits too.
You see, for years I had learned that sex was a HUGE, shameful no-no, and I would nearly ruin my life if I ever even thought about doing it. I know my parents and church had good intentions in teaching me this way, but to be honest, it just made me scared of sex.
