sex in church

we went to church for the first time in awhile this morning. decided to try out fellowship church out in grapevine. i guess i’ve learned now to do more research before committing 1.5+ hours of my life. turns out this church gets broadcasted on abc family on sunday nights… think joel osteen. pastor ed young + wife, lisa young have created a mega church and it definitely is apparent.

i don’t really mind big churches, but i think there’s a line you cross from getting too extravagant. the worship service was like a rock concert with three HUGE projector screens. lisa young’s wedding ring was so big, it was actually distracting when she was up on the stage. it just doesn’t rub me the right way when people touting that they serve God and are here on earth to do God’s mission are indulging in these materialistic things that are unnecessary.

anyways, onto why i titled this blog sex in church. so the churchy couple wrote a book called sexperiment which is going to be their sermon series guide for the next few weeks. i think the topic is a bit interesting and am actually quite intrigued to hear what a church has to say about sex, as i’ve never experienced that before. however, i don’t really want to hear what ed and lisa young have to say about it… given the fact that they were hardcore marketing for everyone in the church to buy their book and that if the church members came to a “date night” (with a $25/couple fee), that they would receive a SIGNED COPY of the book! WOW. no thank you. not to mention that they are completely and utterly fake (and fake looking).

anyways, just some random ramblings from me since you haven’t read from me in awhile.
