That thing

One of the things the church has found so much time to talk about, with so little to say, is human sexuality. I don’t care if we are talking to about liberal, mainline, or evangelical, Christians talk so much about sex, but seldom is anything of interest shared. One prominent blogger laments:
I’m currently on year two in my current position as Minister for Youth & Young Adults, and while we talked about sex for one month during Sunday School, that’s still only four times in over a year and a half. Four times. I wonder if they are getting information about sex from other sources throughout their weeks? I’d guess that they hear TONS of wrong/bad/unhelpful/unsafe information about sex at school – a lot more than four times a day…
I haven’t quite found it necessary to keep track how often a church talks about sex, but by talking about it too much can reduce Jesus to just that? Can we get so wrapped up in exploring sexuality that we lose the importance of Christ?
