Every year Uturn JH takes the month of October to discuss what the Bible says about issues of sexuality, relationships, and intimacy. This year's series was entitled, "Lust or Love" as we distinguished the differences between having our sexuality defined by lustful impulses or patient love. Our culture is saturated with messages about indulging in whatever desire and impulse our hormones driven bodies may crave. Compare that to the messages we see in the Bible about patiently waiting to awaken love until the right time and within God's desired context of marriage. During this three part series we discussed issues of culture, entertainment, pornography, homosexuality, dating, marriage, and how to create safe boundaries. For many students this series created great conversations and challenged them to articulate their thoughts on these intimate topics. For some students this was a great time to learn about sexual purity and they are making a first time commitment to remain sexually pure before and throughout their future marriage. In a society that is so sexually saturated it is crucial that students have regular opportunities to wrestle with these issues and discover God's plan for their sexuality. All three messages are available for FREE DOWNLOAD on iTunes, just open iTunes and search "Uturn Bothell" to find them.
