The Love Joy and Peace of Sex

Decades ago, the world at large was rocked by the publication of “The Joy of Sex,” but “joy” was a stolen word. Positions and techniques aiming to maximize physical pleasure alone? That’s “joy” with an extremely small ‘j’. The promotion of a sinful union? Therein lies no true ‘joy’ at all. True joy is a fruit of the Spirit! True joy is obtained in God’s presence and blessing.

Redeemed sex – now there’s “Joy!” Sex in the light of forgiveness; Sex without the taint of guilt; Sex fueled by the very love of Christ; Sex as a picture of the union between Christ and his church; Sex between those filled with the Spirit for whom true JOY is a fruit thereof… this sex of a height and depth of joy that no “left hand down a bit” sex manual can ever hope to approach.

From Genesis, to Proverbs, the Song of Songs, and through the epistles, the Christian couple is taken through some delightful Christ-centered meditations with suggested responses ranging from the serious, to the fun, to seriously fun!

The wonderful opportunities, beauty, freedom, and victory of a marriage built upon Christ is always in focus, as is the wisdom and protection required for the pitfalls and attacks that sin, the world and the devil inevitably throws the way of Christian marriages.
