Summary

Aimee, Carl, and Todd like to push buttons, and this week’s installment of the Mortification of Spin is no different as they discuss sexual ethics. Our current cultural milieu is one which exalts sexual behavior, and to speak out against it is seen as heresy. But where does it stop? When will we take our stand? The gang helps to vocalize some of these major concerns, and attempts some answers to the cultural pressure. Enjoy this free resource from the Alliance of Confessing EvangelicalsThe traditional chronology was love, marriage, sex, and baby. It was like the old schoolyard rhyme: "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes someone in a baby carriage." The new chronology is a plot for postmodern times: sex, baby, marriage, and love. It is almost exactly backwards, except that the baby comes after the sex. But this is simple biology, and not even Harlequin can change the way God made us. The new romances turn romantic relationships upside down, making sex the basis for love, and separating procreation from marriage.Dowload the free pdf The New Harlequin Romance by Philip Ryken.

1:14.1	So welcome Todd and Amy.
1:17.1	Well, Carl, it's, I wish I could say it was good to be with you, but after that crack, I'm not, I'm not so sure.
1:22.6	It is always good to be around Amy Bird, though, because she's not nearly as mean-spirited as you.
1:28.0	She is indeed a rose between two middle-aged bawling and bitter thorns.
1:34.6	Absolutely, absolutely.
1:36.3	Well, I want to talk today about, I wouldn't say it's one of the most pressing issues facing the church,

1:46.1	this time, and that is the chaos, the anarchy that surrounds the whole idea of sexuality
1:52.2	and sexual morality. We're all aware of the major headlining issues such as same-sex marriage, But there are a plethora. That's a complicated
