So, returning to this theme of redeeming society; the Church can either continue in the folly of this spirit/body dualism ignoring these real conditions or it can be faithful to press the truth into every facet of life. This would most assuredly include the area of human sexuality in which God has provided a careful design for the expression of sexual intimacy within the exclusive "one-flesh" union. The present generation is desperate for moral guidance that only a relevant Church can provide. Challenging the false pretension of "sexual freedom" as defined by the world honors Christ and invites people into the truth. If you want to know what you or your church can do to reverse this condition; contact the National Coalition to inquire about our many programs and materials.
