On the Artistry of Sex

Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile has just posted a quick bit at his Gospel Coalition blog, the blog being called Pure Church and the post The Artistry of Sex Forgotten in the World. In it he says that sex is supposed to beget not only children, but artistry. I find it interesting that he doesn’t say “fun” or “joy” or “recreation” or “communion”. He says “artistry”.

I would absolutely love to read your comments on the worth of that statement. Half of his post was this Francis Schaeffer quote:

How often do Christians think of sexual matters as something second-rate. Never, never, never should we do so according to the Word of God. The whole man is made to love God; each aspect of man’s nature is to be given its proper place. That includes the sexual relationship, that tremendous relationship of one man to one woman. At the very beginning God brought Eve to man. A love poem can thus be beautiful. So if you are a young man or a young woman and you love a girl or you love a boy, you may indeed write beautiful love poetry. Don’t be afraid. That too can be praise to God. And when the two people are Christians it can be a conscious doxology (Art and the Bible).

Given that I recently posted an erotic poem at my blog, you will not be surprised to know that such words please me. What is your degree of comfort with such things? Do find them to be a good at all? The response to my poem at the blog and on social media platforms was all positive, those who didn’t like it presumably maintaining a kind silence.

But there was one dude whose response was “uuunsubscribe”.

So what do you think? Can your sex be a doxology? Can your love poetry be a doxology? Or am I just being silly?<>рекламная компания москваcтоимость продвижения интернет магазинов
