Pacific University Open Mic -- "Sexual Healing"

A poem I did for open mic at Pacific University. The poem is about culture's view of sex, and how that view has really not made us any better off. Depression is rising, and yet pleasure is more at our fingertips than ever, showing its inability to satisfy us the way we were meant to be satisfied. Sex is good, in it's proper context. Also forgiveness and mercy are given freely my Jesus, and not only that but also practical and experiential healing and cleansing. (written by Jeff Bethke)

What do you think about homosexuality?

[Deathfairy1992]

@kaybaybayyy3 well i think he just meant he was young and didn't want to have to take care of a baby at the time.

@thekillerghost123 No, I'm afraid you have been mislead. The desire of sex is not sinful, it is natural. We have no control over that. But we are held accountable on how we decide to act on those desires.

I'm 18 and just gave birth to my first son 3 months ago, you are amazingly gracious in delivering this message and I'm so humbled by what you have to say. I have been so far from God lately and I want to thank you for showing me the way back..keep speaking the truth...3 God Bless

@sidekickcreative Haha, I know that, but many men don't want to treat women in a Godly way, and this guy does.
