Message | The Early Church was Distinct in their Sexuality (1 Cor. 7) | DISTINCTIVELY CHRISTIAN
In a world where sex outside of marriage was expected for all men, the early Christian ethic of sex only between a husband and a wife was counter-cultural. The early disciples also saw sexuality as an equal gift and responsibility to both husbands and wives. The needs of women were never taken into consideration like this before. Early disciples saw sex, not just as a physical activity, but a spiritual one as well.

Daily affirmations arose out of what is called “The Law of Attraction,” popularized by author Rhonda Byrne in The Secret.
