| 0:00.0 | What happens when God's design is inverted and subverted? |
| 0:03.5 | For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point. |
| 0:06.0 | Not long ago, what we ate was considered a matter of personal preference, |
| 0:09.5 | and our sexual appetites were a moral issue that required regulating. |
| 0:13.0 | Well, times have changed. |
| 0:14.5 | In every society throughout history, sex was seen as a moral matter of public concern. |
| 0:18.0 | The main reason is because sex can result in children, so it has |
| 0:21.5 | implications for the entire community. With the advent of contraception and the popularization of |
| 0:26.1 | abortion, sex is no longer seen as a public moral issue, but only one of personal consent. On the |
| 0:31.5 | other hand, food is increasingly seen as a public moral issue because of the ecological |
| 0:36.3 | implications of food production and the |
| 0:38.1 | promotion of personal health as the ultimate good. Well, Scripture tells us that we should steward |
| 0:42.3 | our bodies, but that all foods are acceptable if they're received with Thanksgiving, and that |
| 0:46.5 | our sexuality is designed by God with purpose and with moral guardrails to keep it from becoming |
| 0:51.2 | harmful and toxic. In other words, when we worship the creation instead of the creator, |
| 0:55.5 | everything gets turned back to front. |
| 0:57.2 | I'm John Stone Street. |
