Well, I hope
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
that we haven't
shocked too much today.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
But it is a
conversation we need to have.
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.77
We do.
00:00:05.80\00:00:07.14
Jen, just talk
to us for a moment
00:00:07.17\00:00:10.17
about the sacredness of sex.
00:00:10.21\00:00:11.54
What are we trying to
do with this program...
00:00:11.57\00:00:13.17
What we're trying to do is
00:00:13.21\00:00:14.54
we're trying to put a spotlight
00:00:14.58\00:00:16.64
on God's ideal
for human sexuality.
00:00:16.68\00:00:19.38
His design for human sexuality,
00:00:19.41\00:00:21.92
and then we're
going to talk about...
00:00:21.95\00:00:23.72
We're going to, you
know, sort of reinforce
00:00:23.75\00:00:25.35
that spotlight or that
design by talking about
00:00:25.39\00:00:29.42
what happens when
we deviate from it,
00:00:29.46\00:00:30.99
some of the fallout of that,
00:00:31.03\00:00:33.03
and then we want to create
a movement back to that ideal
00:00:33.06\00:00:35.60
and encourage people on the Lord
00:00:35.63\00:00:37.00
that they can experience
radical transformations
00:00:37.03\00:00:39.63
through the
grace and power of God
00:00:39.67\00:00:41.67
and get back to
His original design.
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.20
Amen. Amen.
00:00:43.24\00:00:44.57
Amen. Jay?
00:00:44.61\00:00:45.94
Well, you know, we know
00:00:45.97\00:00:47.31
that God is not the
author of confusion,
00:00:47.34\00:00:48.68
and so this program
being called "Intimate Clarity"
00:00:48.71\00:00:52.51
is providing clarity
on God's divine design,
00:00:52.55\00:00:55.82
and so if you've ever
departed, God wants you back.
00:00:55.85\00:01:00.86
Amen.
00:01:00.89\00:01:02.22
You know, I want
to read something,
00:01:02.26\00:01:03.59
1 Thessalonians 4:33.
00:01:03.63\00:01:05.33
It says, "For this
is the will of God,"
00:01:05.36\00:01:07.76
Paul wrote,
"your sanctification,"
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.90
that means, being set
apart from the worldly things,
00:01:09.93\00:01:12.97
set apart for God,
00:01:13.00\00:01:14.47
"that you should
abstain from sexual immorality
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.51
and each one of you know
how to possess his own vessel
00:01:17.54\00:01:20.48
and sanctification and
honor, not in passion of lust,
00:01:20.51\00:01:24.35
like the Gentiles
00:01:24.38\00:01:25.71
who do not know
God," and I wished...
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.62
Well, let me go on,
00:01:27.65\00:01:28.98
"that no one
should take advantage of
00:01:29.02\00:01:30.99
and defraud his brother
or his sister in this manner,
00:01:31.02\00:01:35.12
because God is
the avenger of such."
00:01:35.16\00:01:37.26
We are defrauding each other
if we don't understand this.
00:01:37.29\00:01:42.83
Thank you so much
for doing this series.
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.13
Thank you so much
for being here today,
00:01:45.17\00:01:47.64
and thank you
for helping me muddle
00:01:47.67\00:01:50.01
through what could
be a difficult topic.
00:01:50.04\00:01:53.17
Our prayer for you at home
00:01:53.21\00:01:54.94
is that the grace of our
Lord and savior Jesus Christ,
00:01:54.98\00:01:57.18
the love of the Father,
00:01:57.21\00:01:58.55
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:01:58.58\00:01:59.91
will be with you always.
