The North Texas pastor who once challenged his congregation, will now spend 24 hours in bed with his wife and stream it live on the Internet.

Fellowship Church Pastor Ed Young and his wife Lisa, who have in the past garnered national attention for their innovative and frank approach to discussing marriage, including infidelity, are launching a 24-hour “Sexperiment” to help promote a biblical view to show people “how it’s done God’s way can lead to a life punctuated by exclamation marks—a life full of passion, purpose, and pleasure,” according to a statement on the church’s website.

The experiment will place the couple in a bed on top of Fellowship Church where, for 24 hours, they will not only eat and sleep, but they will conduct bedside interviews, talk via Skype with friends from around the world and discuss the biblical view of this subject in a marriage.

The whole point, it seems, is to encourage married couples to build lasting relationships through intimacy with their spouse.  For those who take part, a companion book is available with all proceeds going to Fellowship Church.

The event begins at 6 a.m. Friday.

Young is the founding pastor of megachurch Fellowship Church.  The main campus is in Grapevine while there are satellite campuses in Plano, Fort Worth, Dallas and Miami, Fla.

Church might be the last place congregants would expect to talk about this subject, but a brash new crop of preachers are starting to aggressively tackle the taboos of intimacy from the pulpit, or in some cases, from the roof of their church.

Evangelical Pastor Ed Young and his wife Lisa of Grapevine, Texas, said Christians have been unenthusiastic and unimaginative about this for far too long. To demonstrate their point, the couple had an elaborate “bed-in” event, in which they had a crane lift a bed onto the top of their Grapevine congregation’s church and settled in for the next 24 hours to talk about their favorite topic.

“I think in the Christian world, there are so many people who are uneasy about this,” Ed Young said. “Most married couples want to have this, but they’re not having enough.”

“For far too long, the church has been completely silent about something God has not been silent about at all,” said Lisa Young.

In their radical new book, “The Sexperiment,” the Youngs challenge heterosexual Christian married couples — LGBT and unwed singles need not apply.

“The first place to have that talk is in the home,” added his wife. “The second place to have that talk is in the church.”

Their “bed-in” was modeled after an event first put on in 1969 by gleeful blasphemers John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The Youngs said they are trying to take the topic back from a popular culture that has perverted it.

“The sad thing is that our culture is throwing all these cues, all words, all these pictures of what this represents to our children, to couples to spouses, to husbands and wives, and it’s not working out well for marriages,” Lisa Young said.

The Youngs point out that the topic is discussed throughout the Bible. For example, in the rather risqué Song of Solomon 4:3, two lovers rhapsodize about each other’s lips and mouth: “Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy talk is comely: thy temples are within thy locks as a piece of a pomegranate.”

And there’s even a passage in Song of Solomon 4:16 that includes coming into the garden and eating the pleasant fruit, which has been interpreted by some Biblical scholars as a reference to oral : “Arise, O north, and come O south, and blow on my garden that the spices thereof may flow out: let my well beloved come to his garden, and eat his pleasant fruit.”

While the Youngs insist their “Sexperiment” is about improving marriages, not a how-to guide, another book written by a different pastor and his wife from Seattle comes very close to just that.

Great Christian Family

January 31st, 2012 admin

You have got to jump in front of things and block forces and you are just freaked out because you are trying so hard to protect them.  Let me tell you what can happen, not always but sometimes, if you are in the force-field approach.  If children have taken this for eighteen years, they go off to college (even Baylor) and they suddenly see what the unbarricaded, real world is like and they are gone.  Are you with me?

Some parents adopt the punishment approach.  Ed Young believes that , “Here is the game plan spiritually.  One, two, three, four.  A, B, C, D.  And if you don’t read your Bible and do your study on the love of God, you’ll be banished to your room and punished.”  Talk about confusion.  They walk to their room and wonder what this has to do with the love of God.  I come from a great Christian family.  My Dad is a pastor.  My mother is a fantastic woman of God.  They never forced me to go to church.  I remember specific times when I told my Mom that I didn’t want to go to youth choir, and she would say that was fine.  But I knew where she stood.  I knew her values.  I didn’t go through the rebellion thing, the drinking, the sex and the dope.  Why?  I believe because of God’s grace and because my parents effectively passed the baton of faith to me.  They gave me clear instructions.

There is another paradigm, though, that I want you to adopt.  I mean to say that I suggest you adopt, I can’t force it on you.  Instead of the other one, instead of force-feeding, force-field and punishment, try doing this as you instruct your children Biblically.  Try instead the instruction, interpretation and life-lesson approach.  That is the Deuteronomy 6 approach.  The instruction approach, please make sure they are here or somewhere else regularly because we train our children in an age-appropriate manner.  We make sure that the supply does not exceed the demand.  We spend hours and hours and large sums of money to make sure pre-schoolers, children, and youth are understanding the love of God and the grace of God and Biblical principles in an age-appropriate way.  That is instruction.  And that is why I say to adopt this teachable moment thing.  Deuteronomy says that as you are living your life, as you are running, you can instruct them.

Blessings of Food

January 30th, 2012 admin

He told the king that for 7 years the crops would flourish and there would be plenty of food for everyone.  But he added that following that time there would occur 7 years of famine.  Joseph, being smart, collected and stewarded grain so that Egypt was ready for the famine.  The people who lived in the surrounding areas did not prepare for the famine and Joseph’s brothers, the ones who had stabbed him in the back and sold him to Egypt, began to get hungry.  Their father began to get hungry.  The Bible says that the brothers went to the nation of Egypt and had an audience with Joseph.  They didn’t recognize him because he looked like an Egyptian.  They began to beg him for food.

When you read this story the temptation is to say, “OK, Joseph has got them now.  He can take care of them.”  You imagine that he will call in the royal guards and torture them.  You are ready for him to retaliate and take them out.  But he doesn’t do it.  He releases them.  He forgives them.  Why?  Because Joseph had made peace with his past.  If you haven’t made peace with your past, there is no way your future can flourish.  All that past will come up again and again in the present.  Ed Young believes that you need to be a person of forgiveness because you’ll desperately want an infusion of forgiveness in the future.  And Joseph was a man who exemplified that.

The fourth reason God insists that we be people of forgiveness is because He knows that blessings will accrue in our accounts when we give and receive forgiveness.  Now, what kind of blessings am I talking about?  First of all, I am talking about a clear conscience.  You can’t beat a clear conscience.  In fact, if there were no such thing as heaven, it would be worth it to be a Christian to be clean and clear, to have a white as snow conscience.

Christianity. The Holy Spirit of God The Father In Heaven Speaks By means of His Son Jesus Christ In a Sermon

Write-up by marco manos

The time is upon us to hear the Word of Christ as shortly as yet again in the New Testament of the Golden Age of the Christ Consciousness. The Holy Spirit of God the Father in Heaven has spoken via His son, Jesus Christ, in a sermon in 2008 by means of an anointed spiritual channel to supply His new communication for this Golden Age of the Christ Consciousness.Jesus was sent to Earth by God the Father in Heaven to awaken the folks on Earth to the actuality as Jesus states in the Bible and to the Pharisees of the time: “Ye are all Gods” and “Do not truly feel it robbery to examine your self equivalent with God”.The essence of Jesus message is straightforward: I am not the exception, you are all Sons of God and you are all incredible. You are all Gods, in that you are all component of God and God is you. To deny this, is to deny God, is to deny your oneness with God, which is your Christ Head, your proper thoughts, your state of consciousness that provides about you to acknowledge as I did, I and my Father are a single. As it states in the Bible, “Permit this Thoughts be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”. This is the Christ Ideas.The Christ Thoughts is the real Son of God. And as Jesus acknowledged his Christ Consciousness, his oneness with God, he grew to become the Christ, a Christed Turning out to be, a Dwelling Christ for us all to stick to. Jesus is the forerunner for souls to attain this Christed state. Only when you arrive “into oneness” with the Christ Head, the Son of God, can you then start the route of coming into oneness with God the Father in Heaven.It is not blasphemy for you to ponder oneself a Son of God, for you are His minor 1, and you generally continue to be a component of him. This is your inheritance and you only need consider it. Nevertheless, you drastically rework your mind, your condition of consciousness and “arrive into oneness” with ALL of your earthly brothers and sisters before you can attain the Christ Consciousness, and then ultimately God Consciousness.The explanation for this is basic and there are no exceptions. The Sonship, or the Christ Mind, is the Universal Christ Consciousness that is only full when all of God’s youthful youngsters have acknowledged their oneness with each and every and each and every other. You can only do this if you research before the illusionary imperfections in each other, and see that these are not genuine. These imperfections have occurred in a awful dream. As it states in the Bible appropriate immediately after Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of judgment, the comprehending of Really good as opposed to Evil, “Adam fell into a deep rest”. And he had a poor dream despite the fact that asleep, that he was not a Son of God, that he was separated from God, and that he was judging other components of God as Superb and Evil, principally he was viewing them NOT as Sons of God, but as enemies, as evil, as wicked. He was belittling Sons of God in his really really personal head, and in so enterprise, was belittling himself.Do not belittle oneself or your fellow brothers and sisters on Earth any far more time.

Jesus was sent to Earth by God the Father in Heaven to awaken the individuals on Earth to the simple fact as Jesus states in the Bible and to the Pharisees of the time: “Ye are all Gods” and “Do not feel it theft to assessment your self equivalent with God”.Gospel For Asia

Men and women are also busy in many issues, the day will earlier and never ever witnessed that they neglect to pray to God. Think about it…. we live every day in God’s grace… we breath but we never thank to God about the air the he gave in each and every seconds in our daily life.

Spiritual Development. Spiritual Progress by Maya

 

Hi Guys I am Maya,

Anyway, I don’t know that I have a story but I am pretty certain my keyboard does and it appears like opening up. I want to share with you my expertise as I consider I have been fairly lucky within this daily life, and this so known as luck just keeps on expanding, the far more I appear at the luck and are grateful for it the more luminous it looks to become. Luck – I guess which is what you could contact it, or fate or future perhaps, I will not genuinely know what power has brought it all into perform, but I am undoubtedly glad it did. Amongst the huge atrocities, aggression, mistreatment and abuse we observe on the earth I believe it can be great to know that issues like luck, destiny do exist, there is a greater approach for us, and no matter whether we are aware of it or not that approach takes care of us day-to-day.

If you do not think me have faith in me, if you look for it you will locate it – for no other idea is very good plenty of to make clear the random or at moments seemingly chaotic happenings that happen to deliver men and women jointly who need to be collectively for one particular cause or yet another. With out every other we cannot expand spiritually, we need every single other, even the monks in the caves want a grasp.

Spiritual development signifies distinct things to diverse individuals, for some it is the attainment of the ‘No Mind’ or enlightenment, for others it is abiding by a set philosophy or theosophy, for other folks it is a commitment to a selected ritualistic religion or faith, entails community- good functions and repentance. Each of us have our own suggestions about spiritual progress, sculpted by our childhoods, our beliefs, experiences, and the possibilities that arrive forward in our lives. And I consider that at the conclude of the day this is what matters, exactly where we are- all also usually we are seeking off into the distance, the horizon, to our dreams, our desires, our targets, that we seldom stop just to be in which we are and who we are with. I feel, just getting in a position to do this, flip and look at wherever we are, take the sofa we are sitting on, and who is beside us, pertains to a much more generous spiritual growth that is inclusive of all, and embraces all instead than a set frame of mind or apply via which we will shift past wherever we are.

]]>

The essence of spiritual expansion is inside us, and irregardless of our outer personality, our preferences, experiences and options, our inner currently being, our inner essence attracts forward the exact experiences we want to see ourselves more obviously, for if spiritual growth is anything at all it ought to be this – our potential to merely see ourselves as we are. At times the more we shift in direction of spirituality the even more we shift absent from ourselves, for we at moments want to make private sacrifices in purchase to admonish our faith, our new age design or philosophy. We have to flip more than our electricity to a person else who would seem to know a lot more, is much more. But at the end of the day, we are by now every thing we require to be. Realising this, sensation it and figuring out it are clearly the tough part, and the explanation everyone goes on the inevitable research for soul or self. But, at the stop of the day when we come again to ourselves right after the extended and exhausting search we see that in fact we held the absolute energy and energy essential for this growth all alongside inside of.

Nothing else is required – we go on long tumultuous journeys, just to realise that we do not want to go on these journey’s, that everything totally every thing is already furnished. When we require a teacher they out of thin air just stroll into our lives one day – when we need to see our personal weaknesses confident enough existence throws them at us in abundance – when we need to find out how to surrender and open up to light and lifestyle – one thing transpires we are knocked to the ground and all of a sudden……

Almost everything we want is currently there – the universe is operating overtime to ensure this, it is the fact that we doubt the universe and doubt our own potential which confuses and derails us. Only through changing down a gear, giving up the chase, getting off the carousel and just letting lifestyle requires its training course, without having interference or scepticism from us can we see the greater picture – the connectedness that guarantees us – nothing much less and practically nothing much more than what we currently are………

I know it sounds absolutely insane – but that to me is what the essence of spiritual progress is.

If you are looking for a way to undo what has by now been carried out – if you are hunting for techniques to help you give up fear and uncertainty, and loosen up into life instead than resist and tussle with it please visit my website in which I channel Mom Mary and indicator up for her totally free six week ‘Opening Your Heart Centre ‘ training course. I have noticed miracles inside my own lifestyle and inside my individual being.

In gratefulness

Needless to say, this is just putting on a excellent display and has nothing at all to do with actually praising God.

There are two simple techniques you praise someone: the way you praise a little one and the way you praise an adult. A youngster runs, falls down and cries.

You give praise for hoping, inspire and give a vision for particular development. You notify fact-that-will-be. An adult is sturdy and accomplished. You praise by acknowledging work well completed or an accomplishment attained. You notify truth of the matter-that-is.

The way to praise God is to do it like you praise an adult particular person: acknowledge what there is. There is no need to picture outrageous ideas and shout loud for other folks to listen to. A easy acknowledgment within your heart is a good praise. If you want to praise God even greater, reside your life totally and with a heart stuffed with Adore, radiating out to all of God’s development.
