INSIGHT

Sexual Lies Create Spiritual Strongholds

  • Lies about sexuality build walls between us and God that block intimacy.
  • Exposing those strongholds with truth helps restore fellowship with God.
INSIGHT

Sex Is Framed As Self-Expression

  • Culture frames sex as expressing personal attraction or chemistry, not covenant.
  • That framing drives choices contrary to God's design for sexuality.
ADVICE

Prioritize Covenant Over Feelings

  • Treat sexual intimacy in marriage as a celebration of covenant, not a response to feeling.
  • Work on sexual connection even when attraction ebbs because the covenant remains.
