There just isn't an area of our culture or our daily life more broken and confusing that sexuality. People are dehumanized, reduced to objects for others to exploit, enslaved to addiction, or fed lies about how their inclinations define their identity. This process has degraded our political discourse, darkened our entertainment, and challenged the very meaning of family and human worth.

What happened? As John Stonestreet argues in this week's "Two-Minute Warning," it all comes down to a divorce which took place between sexuality and the human person. That divorce, he says, started with a redefinition of sexual freedom.

In the Judeo-Christian worldview, sex isn't simply another biological activity. It's a unique act with both unitive and procreative aspects, upon which God places so much importance that He reserves it only for the lifelong commitment of monogamous marriage. Christians believe this not only because the Bible and Church have always taught it, but because we can see the consequences of ignoring this principle played out in the world around us.

As John argues, our culture during the last few generations has mis-defined "freedom" to mean following our desires. We've taken this idea so seriously that we even define people (for instance, as "homosexuals,") simply because of their desires. In the same way, we have allowed pornography, public indecency, and infidelity in high places to flourish on the grounds that it's only natural. In the name of "sexual freedom," we have embrace all manner of sexual bondage.

This week at the Colson Center, we kick of a four-week series on sexual brokenness. We will tackle the causes, the symptoms, the upcoming challenges and how Christians, as the messengers of God's plan for human sexuality, can offer a better way, and a freedom more beautiful and fulfilling than anything the world knows.
