Download or read book The Power of Purity written by Irv Woolf and published by Christian Focus. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Christians live lives of purity in a world that has become so sexualized? Who sets the standard for purity: the culture, Christians, God? It doesn’t take a lot to recognize that we live in a highly sexualized culture. Billboards and store fronts use sexual messages to call us to buy their products or services. Magazines and newspapers assault us with sexual ads. Turn on the television, computer and specifically, the internet and the sexuality becomes even more blatant often crossing the line into pornography. Sexual messages showing an abundance of skin are used to sell everything from lingerie to beer. As if that wasn’t enough, there are advertisements for erectile dysfunction, penile enlargement, breast augmentation and all manner of birth control on television, radio and in print. People have become numb to the boldness of these messages and no longer blush. We are boiling in a sexual stew and like the proverbial frog in the kettle, we are being cooked as the heat rises and society’s standards are lowered. Are Christians immune from all of this? Were that it was so! Christian men, women and teens are called to be “in the world, not of it.” (Romans 12:2) Yet, by being in the world, many have become conformed to the world. Instead of serving as thermostats and changing the culture, many have become thermometers reflecting the culture in which they live. The culture uses sexuality in ways never intended by God. As the poster picturing gears, chains, sprockets and wheels all tightly strung together wistfully muses, “God made us plain and simple. My how we have complicated things.” God designed sex to be plain and simple. His original design was for sex to be for procreation and pleasure. His original design was for men and women to use sex to carry out His command to “be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28). Sex is to be the glue of marriage sealing the marital covenant between a husband and wife. As a veteran pastor for over thirty years, Dr. Irv "Sarge" Woolf, provides "battle-tested" practical answers as he shares God's design for sex in a sex-saturated world. Irv takes us back to that original blueprint, back to sex as God originally intended it. He describes the God of holiness and God's standard for holiness. In warning us about the enemies of purity, he describes how the world, the flesh and the devil have corkscrewed sexuality and twisted it into a self-serving distortion of what God intended it to be. Irv identifies the key weapon of the enemies arsenal: sexual immorality. Finally, Irv shows us the clear difference sexual purity makes in the life of a man, a woman, a marriage and a family. Irv is no ivory tower theologian but a man who applies the Word of God in practical fashion to the everyday world of temptations. He understands what it takes to live in purity. As a former pastor who launched Every Man’s Battle For Purity in his home church, Irv is eminently qualified to write about this topic. God’s hand is upon him and his ministry to purify the Bride of Christ. May the Lord use him. The Church desperately needs purifying.

Download or read book Sacred Sex written by Tim Alan Gardner and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Christians have been told that sex is God's creation, designed by him as a gift to husbands and wives. Yet few couples actually experience sex as a spiritual, God-ordained experience. Rather than admit their lack of fulfillment, many couples hide their disappointment and confusion, while others attempt to solve the problem through better sexual technique. Unfortunately, all the advice on improved technique fails to explain the one thing that makes sense of it all. Despite the proliferation of resources to enhance sexual satisfaction, couples continue to struggle in their sexual relationship. In fact, author and licensed counselor Tim Gardner estimates that as few as 2 percent of married couples ever experience a truly exciting, energizing, and soul-touching physical bond. But now, that can change. A couple's sexual relationship has a far higher purpose than pleasure or procreation. Scripture makes it clear that sex is the one thing on earth that joins two people into one. Now readers can learn how to approach marital sex in a way that brings the fulfillment of true oneness. Sacred Sex shows how they can experience a beautiful, God-ordained life of intimacy that blesses them far beyond the bedroom walls, serves as an act of worship to God, and touches their hearts and souls in ways they never could have imagined.

Book Synopsis Sacred Sexuality by : Georg Feuerstein
Download or read book Sacred Sexuality written by Georg Feuerstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-11-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical, cross-cultural survey of sexuality as a sacred spiritual practice • Examines sacred sexuality in the world’s religious and mystery traditions • Explores contemporary “sexual stress syndrome” resulting from the absence of the sacred in sexual practice • Reveals how to find the sacred in the ordinary This book examines the history of sexuality as a sacramental act. In spite of our culture’s recent sexual liberalizations, sexual intimacy often remains unfulfilling. Georg Feuerstein instructs that the fulfillment we long for in our sex lives can only be attained once we have explored the spiritual depths of our erotic natures. Feuerstein delves into a wide variety of spiritual traditions--including Christianity, Judaism, goddess worship, Taoism, and Hinduism--in search of sacred truths regarding sexuality. He reveals that all of these great teachings share the hidden message that spirituality is, in essence, erotic and that sexuality is inherently spiritual. From the erotic cult of the Great Mother and the archaic ritual of hieros gamos (sacred marriage) to the institution of sacred prostitution and the erotic spirituality practiced in the mystery traditions, Feuerstein offers a wealth of historical practices and perspectives that serve as the bases for a positive sexual spirituality suited to our contemporary needs.

Book Synopsis Heavy Burdens by : Bridget Eileen Rivera
Download or read book Heavy Burdens written by Bridget Eileen Rivera and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious faith reduces the risk of suicide for virtually every American demographic except one: LGBTQ people. Generations of LGBTQ people have been alienated or condemned by Christian communities. It's past time that Christians confronted the ongoing and devastating effects of this legacy. Many LGBTQ people face overwhelming challenges in navigating faith, gender, and sexuality. Christian communities that uphold the traditional sexual ethic often unwittingly make the path more difficult through unexamined attitudes and practices. Drawing on her sociological training and her leadership in the Side B/Revoice conversation, Bridget Eileen Rivera, who founded the popular website Meditations of a Traveling Nun, speaks to the pain of LGBTQ Christians and helps churches develop a better pastoral approach. Rivera calls to mind Jesus's woe to religious leaders: "They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them" (Matt. 23:4). Heavy Burdens provides an honest account of seven ways LGBTQ people experience discrimination in the church, helping Christians grapple with hard realities and empowering churches across the theological spectrum to navigate better paths forward.
Book Synopsis Tantric Jesus by : James Hughes Reho
Download or read book Tantric Jesus written by James Hughes Reho and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the history and modern practice of transformative Christianity • Reveals the original tantric wisdom of Jesus and the early Church and its resonance with the tantric yogas of India and Tibet • Explains how tantric Christianity views the human body as the primary “temple” of the Holy and erotic energy as the signature of indwelling Divine Presence • Provides step-by-step instructions for a series of Christian tantric practices, including a partnered sexual practice, mantra and energy work, eye gazing, and work with icons Unbeknownst to many, the original Christian spirituality as practiced in the early church and by Jesus himself was a tantric spirituality. In the West, Tantra often evokes images of arcane rituals or acrobatic sexual positions, while in reality Tantra is a holistic transformative path of life, love, and being--grounded in practice. Offering a new understanding of Jesus as guru and master of left-handed Tantra, James Reho, an Episcopal priest and tantric initiate, reframes the Christian story and restores to modern Christianity the tantric wisdom practices that were edited out of church tradition and forgotten over the centuries. He explains how tantric Christianity views the human body as the primary “temple” of the Holy, with erotic energy as the signature of Divine Presence within. Rev. Reho reveals the similarities of the earliest Christian practices to the tantric yogas of India and Tibet and explores the role of Kundalini and the chakras. He details how to work with mantras, icons, and pranayama breathing exercises, as well as with gazing as a spiritual practice. Informed by the insights of ancient texts and early masters of Christian spirituality, the author provides step-by-step instructions on how to practice Christian tantric sex with a life-partner of the opposite or same sex. Rev. Reho reveals how these heart-opening practices are rooted in eros, the life of deep desire, expressive of God’s grace within us, and are still alive in monastic practices in the Christian East. Integrating his personal spiritual experiences, years of study of ancient Christian mysticism, and an expertise in yoga and tantra, the author shows how we can re-engage the original truths of the early church to affirm the body as a holy vehicle and to utilize the energy of the erotic to achieve ecstatic union with the Divine.
