315. Christian Sex Ethic and Hope
Pastor Tim Keller, who ministered in culture-shaping Manhattan, recently answered a question about church revival by saying that “one of the biggest obstacles to repentance for revival in the Church is the basic fact that almost all singles outside the Church and a majority inside the Church are sleeping with each other”. In other words, good old fornication. But what caught my attention was that Keller connected one’s doubt about Christianity with their sexual behaviour. He has seen many new…

314. Fall in Love with your Physical Bible (Again)

312. Why I Won’t Marry a Cohabitating Couple
Cohabitation is defined as “the state of living together and having a sexual relationship without being married.” It is commonly referred to as simply “living together” but cohabitation specifically implies the presence of sexual activity. The trend is that many couples, including Christian couples, decide to live together before they get married. The main reasons seem to be convenience, saving money, and getting more data about the other person to avoid potential divorce. At first, it makes logical sense, in…
