Question: What about oral sex?

Anonymous asked:
what are your thoughts on oral sex before marriage? sorry for the vulgarity, but i thought it’d be better to cut to the chase. peace brotha

I’ll answer in three ways:

1) You’re most likely asking me this to find loopholes for oral sex with a clean conscience. When you ask how-far-is-too-far, the question itself reveals your heart. In that case, you’ve asked with a pre-existing motive hoping for an answer to fit the answer you already have. So check your motives at the door.

2) Any form of sexual/physical contact will make you feel closer to a person than you actually are. That’s why Christians use terms like “emotional bondage.” What they’re saying is, Sin makes you stupid. Lust, especially. It will anchor you to someone that has no right to your body nor the keys to your anything else. It’s why clueless women stay with jobless, smelly, lazy, abusive, nasty skank man-boys: because of the milkshake. I’m not lying, dude.

But I know this won’t convince you because quite honestly, oral sex feels good. You could also say, “At least we’re not having real sex, and it helps prevent me from wanting to do the real thing.” Besides the fact that this rationalization is shallow garbage and can be philosophically debunked in 0.2 seconds, it’s a little insulting to demean a human being by saying “At least we are” fill-in-the-blank. Being romantically involved with someone the way that God designed is NOT a matter of “at least” anything.

Francis Chan: “Think Hard, Stay Humble”




Hello friends and fellow readers.

I really encourage you to watch this one.

We need more love-building-up here on these blogs. Speaking boldly is wonderful, but boldness by itself is just mean. With internet it’s easy to flex, I know: which is more reason to watch the tongue, not less. So much of our rebuke and conviction is done with a motive of macho-doctrine credibility and flesh-fed ego. God’s church must be in the business of restoring. Many of my friends don’t go to church because of our “boldness.” We’re obviously not here to impress them, but dang, Jesus was bold and loving too.
