"Pastor issues 7-day sex challenge"
The pastor of a megachurch says he will challenge married congregants during his sermon Sunday to have sex for seven straight days - and he plans to practise what he preaches.
"We're going to give it a try," said Rev. Ed Young, who has four children with his wife of 26 years.
Young, 47, said he believes society promotes promiscuity and he wants to reclaim sex for married couples. Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.
"God says sex should be between a married man and a woman," Young said. "I think it's one of the greatest things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family."
Young said he will deliver his seven-day sex challenge while sitting on a bed in front of his Dallas-area church campus.
He is founder of the nondenominational Fellowship Church, which draws about 20,000 people each Sunday and also has campuses in Fort Worth, Plano and Miami.
Earlier this year, a southwest Florida pastor, perhaps having more faith in his congregants' stamina, issued a 30-day sex challenge.
even though the challenge is only supposed to be for married couples, i want in on this action too! literally!
and i know it's just semantics (or is it?!?) but i just want to point out this little part: "God says sex should be between a married man and a woman." a woman, like any woman? not necessarily his wife? so married men live the sweet life, getting to have sex with women, all sorts of women. if god wanted to be a little clearer on the issue, he'd have said something more like, "Sex should be between a married man and his wife." the other way, it's like marriage is a free ride to all the sex you can get!
also, all this married people sex would be blasphemous in some religious sectors... all that sex? for fun? no babies? no ifs, ands, or buts - sex only for reproduction. shame on him for wanting his congregation to enjoy their married selves. that's no way to get into heaven!
