GOOD HOPE, Ala. — It’s one thing for a church in a big city like Dallas or Atlanta to tackle the ticklish topic of sex. It blends in with the urban scene.

It’s another thing when a small-town congregation puts up billboards with the phrase “Great sex: God’s way” on rural highways to promote a sermon series. You can’t even legally buy beer in Cullman County, and a preacher is talking about S-E-X on Sunday morning?

Daystar Church, whose congregation has grown dramatically under pastor Jerry Lawson, has run up against the sensibilities of a conservative north Alabama community with a monthlong focus on sex.

Sex just isn’t an appropriate topic for church, some say, and others are upset over the church’s signs, which advertise the sermon series and accompanying Web site.
“It’s really stirred up the people here,” said Good Hope town clerk Joann Jones.

All I can say is, it was a pity this guy wasn’t around to preach to my former husband before we got married.
 
There is a church here in Memphis where the pastor “apostle” gave a similar series. I forgot the title of it, but somewhere along the lines “How the keep you husband so the *** doesn’t get him”. The series was during morning services:eek: and included a “play” with props—a bed, a red sexy night gown, worn by the pastor’s wife of course, and dimmed lighting to set the mood.

Maybe that is where all of those holiday catholics are the rest of the year.😃
 
Sounds a lot like the guys that do XXX Church. Their purpose is to get men and women away from pornography and back to Christ. They have had an amazing impact. They even do a thing with sponsoring churches call Porn Sunday. They have also been instrumental in seeing porn stars leave that business nd come to Christ. Pretty amazing what can happen when sex isn’t treated as a taboo in church.
