YOU ARE KIDDING ME!!!! This is INSANE! I've seen you guys linking to these church's websites but I am still picking my jaw up off the floor!

Does this mean that those of us who are singele have NO
testimony?

I mean those who don't know GOD are having sex and I am
not. So what would they have to be jealous of?

So... how do we evaluate whether we're meeting this standard? Small group encounters?

This shouldn't surprise us, but I confess I am still blown away that this kind of thing actually occurs in the name of "Christianity".

I have been trying to figure out the best way to describe how much this offended my spirit. I suppose the best thing I could say about this is that it is the most ridiculous bunch of drivel coming from a pulpit that I have ever heard. It is offensive and cheapens and misrepresents the Gospel. Oh how offended God must be God in this! Did he sacrifice His own Son so people who believe in Him could have better sex?

I suppose this is what happens when our focus is temporal rather than eternal.

In Christ

Take THAT message over to the Sudan and preach it to those poor folks who actually get persecuted following their conversion. "Listen, come to Jesus, you might get an AK47 bullet to the brain, but until that happens . . . you'll have better sex. Now sign right here on your communication card that you want to get started having better sex".

Ditto to Mike's comment (to all the comments). There are no words.
I cannot understand why the church at large is not weeping over this stuff. I watched this last night and have been weeping and grieving in my heart ever since. God help us! God help those that are the 'blind leading the blind'.
The broad way is the 'fun' way and many there are that find it.

WoW! How do you find this stuff? That was crazy! That "crap" sounds like the same stuff Weeks and Bynum were pushing. And we know how that turned out.

Wow! That was quite disturbing. I'm...speechless.

does this mean that having pre-marital sex with a non-believer can be considered 'evangelism'?

seriously, if we christians are supposed to be sooooo good in the sack and this is supposed to make non-believers jealous, the only right thing to do would be to have sex with a bunch of non-believers so they can see what they are missing out on. That will REALLY make them want to give their lives to Jesus.

Maybe these churches should also re-institute 'temple prostitution'. Their slogan can be "taste and see that the Lord is GOOOOOOD".

We'll see the fallout....Bishop Weeks dropped kicked his wife Juanita Bynum to the pavement...WHY? Because the church is lust-filled and just as perverse and lascivious as the world.

Mr. Weeks had his little "newlywed game" where he asked men what their favorite body part of their wife was. The poor man stammered and said her v-----. The crowd ohh and ahhed and Mr. Weeks gace his devilish grin....say hello to the cuffs pastor....the pulpits are BEING PURGED....this is only the beginning....right on the heels is another GOP scandal with Senator Craig from IDAHO. Arrested for cruising the bathroom but "he is not gay"...right..neither is Ted haggard..... IS THE WHOLE NATION PERVERSE?

I am truly sickened by all this. I don't understand how someone can think this carnality is ok and be saved? I believe that if they are preaching this from the pulpit, God has already judged them.

Well, this message isn't new, but it is becoming more popular. Over the last few years, several churches have done teaching series on sex, with the message that Christians are/should be better at it. This has been coming for a long time, so I'm not surprised. Yet, I am aghast. On the one hand, you have to think that Christians would hear this and run the other way, thus putting a stop to this nonsense. On the other hand, you know that things will only get worse until our Lord returns. The dividing line is getting wider and deeper. Who will stand for the Lord?

This is what happens when you look to things besides what God has provided as spiritual food. Remember in Exodus when the Isrealites were to go out daily and get the manna/bread that God provided to sustain them? When they obeyed God it was satifying, good and sweet like honey to the taste.

The problem came when they tried to dictate & control when they were supposed to eat - when they disobeyed God it became rancid, rotten and full of worms. This happens because they thot they knew better than God (can you say pride, coveting and Idolatry?). Another problem came when people were supposed to gather twice as much on the sixth day and not go out at all on the seventh day. The people were to rest in God's provision, which is perfect.

Again it required obedience but still people disobeyed.

That video and its "pastor" are like the ones who disobeyed God; they went out on their own power looking for food that he thinks is filling. The problem is its not food at all, and if this "pastor" and others like him, continue on, it will result in the malnutrition and starvation of not only him, but those who follow his so called "leadership". There will be no life in any that partake of this - those that continue will be "vomitted' out.

Instead of seeking God, listening and obeying Him, these people have become the masters of their destiny - they have created a god to suit their own fleshly desires, and have denied the one, true, living God.

Its hard to stomach this, but remember that God will bring everyone to account for every word and deed. Some God will bring to repentance, others will continue on in the delusion that God turned them over to; their own fleshly desires that are directly opposed to God.

This video should encourage us all to continue to examine ourselves to see if we are still in the faith, and to pray for those around us.

Keep seeking God, listening and obeying Him.

Love ya all,

This fits in with the increasing wordly message of universal salvation. With all of the carnality entering the Church which makes it look more and more like the secular world around it, it wont be that long until the secular blends with the "church".

I mean when you have people like Randy & Paula White making it appear that divorce and adultry are a normal part of a "Christian Leaders" life. ooops I mean a "Life Coaches" life, and all they teach is re-packaged Atheistic Psychology can it be too far behind when they eventually say: actually we are all saved and the ones who are not are the ones who adhere to a "narrow" and "exclusive" view of the word of God and Salvation and make the rest of us feel bad and injure our self esteem by saying so.

I'm reminded of a joke I once heard told by Red Skelton:

" little old married couple is lying in bed one night, when suddenly the wife turns to her husband and slaps him one right across the face.
"'What was that for?' he demanded, nursing his cheek.
"'That was for forty years of lousy sex!' she shouted.
"He then returned the favor with a slap to the face.
"'What was that for?' she demanded.
"'That was for knowing the difference!'"

...There's also the issue of how incredibly inappropriate and rude it is to discuss one's intimate habits with persons not directly involved (or medically concerned).

I only got five seconds into the film and had to immediately shut it off... hating the garment spotted by flesh! If you are really interested in what has been happening to the church you have to go back in history and examine the roots. www.ors-llc.com website does that very well. The five articles in the "What is Eternal Life?" series is the most pointed.

I probably should know this, but who is this guy? Didn't recognize his voice. What church does he serve? Just curious.

Hi Guys,
I couln't hear the audio on this movie. It sounded very distorted. I"m trying to determine if that is a problem with my software or was part of the original file. Can you help? Thanks

"That's why we called this series 'Best Sex Ever'. We'll talk ALL ABOUT Ephesians 5 as we work thru it in verse-by-verse exegesis, but we have to get there first. So please open your Bibles to Ephesians 1:1..."

If only...

The prophesied apostasy is upon us...the giving over to doctrines of demons is upon us...the great falling away is upon us...and soon Jesus Christ is going to be upon us again. I just hope these people have the real Him figured out before that happens and have come around to being saved by Him and living it like He says. God help us all.

What ridiculous garbage!!!

With this moronic logic Christians should be able to cook better, run faster, jump higher, throw harder, etc.,....what fleshly rubbish!

...and why should we limit it to just sex? Why shouldn't I also be a better cook, housekeeper, yard worker, painter, singer, artist, driver, athlete, typist, etc., etc.,?

Joonie, I don't know. I find that I'm a much better satirist...

*grin*

Although I have to grant Him that He makes me a better wife and mother.

Urghh...

Is there anything that can be worse than this?

all i can say is lol...seriously...my favorite part of the whole video was the subtitles at the bottom of the screen...

The movie portrayed the lukewarm water-downed cultural Christianity is in America today. very sad.

Jim,

You took all the words out of my mouth when you mentioned taking this message to somewhere like the Sudan.

I have a great idea!

This guy and Joel Osteen need to team up to write a book. They could call it "Your Best SEX Life Now."

I bet it would sell millions . . . except of course in the 10-40 window.

-The Pilgrim.

This guy acts like he's got earth-shattering information. Ever hear of Josh McDowell and "Maximum Sex"?

I like the question above about the single person -- does this mean that they have no testimony?

What about Jesus? He created sex and yet never engaged in it. Was he incomplete as a human? Was his ability to witness somehow impeded?

This guy is about as relevant as Y2K and as appealing as last week's meatloaf.

Simon: Good comments. This would be great as a pickup line at a bar. "Wanna come to my place. I'm a Christian." Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean, squire?

This reminds me of the famous hit song whose chorus belted out the lyric: The only boy who could ever teach me, was the son of a preacher man. LOL!

LOL,
seriously, why is everyone so bent out of shape? This guy's entire message wasn't heard, it was just a snippet at what appeared to be a marriage conference.

I'm a christian woman, married 7 years and we have amazing sex and I thank God that He would allow this (sex) period

To all above,
I used to attend this church for over 9 years. This church grew from 300 people when we started to 6000+ today. We recently left. Part of it was because of this sermon series. It was not a 'marriage conference'. It was a full-blown sermon series of 5 sermons. Check out: http://www.cornerstonechandler.com/media/index.php (scroll down about 1/2 way to Bringing Sexy Back). The church took out 2 billboards on the 202 freeway. ALL the news media outlets were there. Our pastor was interviewed on the news. The church bought airtime to air 'commercials' to advertise this website http://www.howsexyami.com/ (after the video, this website leads you to the Cornerstone website). It was a huge deal. The service was packed to the seams. I bought into it as we were taught "Let's pack the house to make Jesus famous". We need to get every non-believer in Chandler, AZ here to hear this. Then they will be saved. They even had a similar series for the kids starting at 5th grade!
Some other things happened during this series that really made us question 'Is this biblical?' Sounded like it at the time. Looking back, God finally opened our eyes and we left. Hard? Absolutely, but we are now in a bible based church that preaches the Word of God, not just what people want to hear.
If you think this is bad, wait til you see the 'Easter' superhero service and carnival....I am waiting for that to be posted for your viewers....
Please keep this church and all the other 'seeker-sensitive' churches in your prayers!!!!
