Red Hot Monogamy
April 14th, 2009 Tim Posted in SevenLakes Info |
(Nancy) Imagine for a moment a culture where the men commonly wear clothing that is so low cut and/or tight that the men are often evaluated on the basis of their physical endowment. Sound scandalous? Too shocking for a church blog? Why then is it not shocking in our culture for even Christian women to routinely show cleavage and curves and be judged for them? Want a real challenge? Go shopping for a teen girl and try to find clothing that is both reasonably fashionable and reasonably modest. And if you find it, please let me know where!
I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, I realize there are some men’s clothes cut to be revealing and/or tight. But, it is not a cultural norm like teens’ and women’s clothes. It is still considered shocking.
I was watching TV the other night and a Victoria’s Secret commercial suddenly came on with a woman wearing next to nothing. It advertised a push up bra on a woman who obviously needed no pushing up. Do men realize how demoralizing this porn culture is to us? On the other hand, I feel for my Christian brothers who can’t escape seeing scantily clad women everywhere they go. It’s amazing there aren’t more collisions due to men either ogling or working to avoid ogling.
The Bible is clear, the human body is beautiful and to be enjoyed within marriage: “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. A lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.” (Proverbs 5:18-19 ESV)
Sound too good to be true? Here’s the key: “Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth.” (Proverbs 5:15-18 ESV)

(Tim)My, why we have to burden ourselves with such heathenizim.
There is a group of people who totally deny Jesus as the Christ that has a very clear agenda, to demoralize anything that America originally based it’s beautiful standard of living in a country of freedom of worshipping Christ. It’s form of demoralization screams off of almost every billboard, almost every movie, every sale ad, just cannot leave the natural instincts of a man to his own discresion. I taught my boys that their mom was a very attractive chick when I first met her and the attraction went to the beautiful moral conduct that she presented herself in. Her love for the best spiritual relationship was no. one and the best husband and wife relationship was her second no. one. Any thing else presents you as the weaker of society and always ends up in brokeness. I hope the day will soon come where infadelity will be understood by leaders of this nation as the no one destroyer of the nations strength, but as long as we keep voting in adgenda programmed Hollywood Stars as our examples of leaders it’s pretty much hopeless.
When your with your wife for 25 years as I am then the absolute dreams of a mans sex life and comfort of being together every day with some one who has all the ideals that she can need in a marriage the we constantly work on upgrading in fun and love then truely the scantly dressed stars that are bribed and fornicated with after are very ugly and unattractive to you if you see that the idea is to turn America into one great big demorallised weakened society that cannot be overtaken by war because of Gods sovernty and so if America can be persueaded to offend God then mabe she can be weakened enough to be overtaken.
Thanks again Tim,
