POP 375 - Peculiar People - Part 2

The bible says that God's people are "peculiar people".

We are called to be very different from people who do now know, love, or serve God.

Out of all the nations of the earth, God chose Israel to be his people.

They were to be very different from the nations around them.

God's people are to think different.

God's people are to have different priorities.

God's people think very differently about money, marraige, values, and virtually every area of life.

And this "peculiar" difference should certainly have profound implications for the way God's people express and experience their sexual gift.

People without God can have sex however they want to have sex, but God's people can't to that.

People without God can commit fornication, or adultry, but God's poeple can't do that.

People without God can participate in orgies or beastiality, but God's people can't do that.

If you belong to call, you are his "treasured posession", he has "called you out", he has "set you apart", and you are part of his "peculiar people".

In this series Tony explores the implications of being the "peculiar people" of God, and the implications of that reality upon our sexual gift.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and puriify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:14
