Life Library — Sexuality
Abstinence
It seems to be the young women who are teaching the young men to look beyond the moment to the lifetime commitment called marriage where learning to make love replaces "having sex." This trend, fed by the grace of God, may blossom into more than my generation every dreamed possible.
The Christian's Struggle with Sexual Temptation
Sexual temptation will continue as long as we live. Whether we are self-centered or Christ-centered will be a struggle as long as life continues here on earth. But we now know who we are and to whom we belong.
Doing Without Marriage
In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland, it became socially acceptable decades ago for couples to live together without being married. Nevertheless, the fossilization of transcendent values leaves a heavy weight on children, families and human souls. Is this America's future?
Gay Authority
The nation's universities are going to extraordinary lengths to cater to homosexual students.
God and the Gay Lifestyle
Homosexual behavior, like any sin, can be forgiven. That's quite a different thing, of course, than to say that such behavior is OK.
Homosexuality in Christian Perspective
We dare not permit the church's public teaching on the matter of homosexuality to be taken over and determined by a desire to "affirm" every person in whatever state he or she may be. That is not the gospel.
Marriage Lite
Civil unions, a popular alternative to gay marriage, could make real marriage largely a thing of the past.
A Step Too Far, for Now
The American Psychological Association backpedals on pedophilia.
Sweden's Shame
Liberal Sweden, supposedly a land of tolerance, is about to make criticism of homosexuality a crime.
Tossing the Last Taboo
That influential culture makers are trying to normalize sex with children is one reason Christians dare not opt out of the culture wars. If they do, letting the world go its merry way into the black hole of depravity, they will be putting their children in genuine danger.
Wages for Sin
Marriage benefits are starting to go to those who are "shacking up."
Way Out of the Closet
Do gays feel accepted enough to depict their dark interests on TV?
