How to Have Good Sex

This past Sunday we continued our SERIES "Love & Marriage." This entire series we are talking about God's vision and plan for marriage. So far we have talked about how marriage is a covenant and not a contract. We have also talked about how God has a plan for our sex life..." You can listen to the podcasts or download it by clicking here WYANDOTTE FAMILY PODCAST You can also watch the sermons on our You Tube Channel  CLICK HERE

God created us as sexual beings. It was part of his creation and plan. Sex is an important part of a healthy marriage. Sex is one key way for connection and intimacy between a husband and wife. 

If it is such an important part of marriage, why is the church often silent on this topic? If we are bombarded daily with ideas, images and thoughts about sex and sexuality, why is the church often silent? 

If we do not create authentic and safe environments for teaching and conversation on this topic, we will continue to see sex become twisted and warped from Gods original plan. 

I encourage you, if you missed this past Sunday take 35 min. to listen to the podcast on iTunes or watch the sermon on our YouTube channel. God has a plan for your sex life and it is good. The goal is to learn the plan and then follow the plan.

We believe in God's plan so much we have launched an X3 group that meets every Tuesday night. To learn more info. about the X3 group simply click here http://www.wyandottefamily.com/connection-groups 

I want my marriage to look like that!

2 Sundays ago I shared a short clip from the life of Ian & Larissa. I promised you I would share the link to the entire video in my blog so here it is FULL STORY OF IAN & LARISSSA 

Marriage was designed to portray the love of God to this world. Think about it for a moment. God's love is selfless and sacrificial. That is what a marriage is called to be. God's love is giving and generous. That is what a marriage is called to be. God's love is forgiving and patient. That is what a marriage is called to be. God did all of this for us regardless of how we responded. That is what a marriage is called to be. 

When you and I make marriage a covenant between God and not a contract with our partner, the world will see God's love through your marriage. That is the way he designed it.

The first D in 3D living is learning to DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS. The 2nd D in 3D living is Discovering other peoples story! The 3rd D in 3D living is "Discerning next steps."

For many years we have been taught that sharing our faith means we shared Bible verses and led people to cross the line into a relationship with Jesus. That surely is part of it but is is so much deeper and more than that. 

What if sharing your faith became more about asking the question, "Holy Spirit, how can you use me in someone's life today to draw them closer to you?" What if you looked at your co-worker, friend, neighbor or boss and simply asked God, "what do they really need and how can I help meet that need?" 

If we trusted the Holy Spirit more in sharing our faith we would not only would it become adventurous but we would see more fruit. Helping people discern next steps is so important. Maybe on a specific day they do need an encouraging Bible verse. However, maybe they need a book, CD, or just for you to take them out to a ball game so they can get away from the hectic day to day pace of life. Only the Holy Spirit knows what they need. As we develop friendships, ask questions and discover stories we trust the Holy Spirit to help us discern next steps. 

When these are in action, sharing our faith truly does become 3D! 

Compassionate or Critical?

The first D in 3D living is learning to DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS. The 2nd D in 3D living is Discovering other peoples story!  

It is easy to become critical of others who are different than us or don't believe what we do. We start grouping people together like, "Those Republicans or those Democrats. Those Christians or those Atheists." 

However, we want to be a genuine Christ follower we are called to be like Him. We are called to be compassionate. Let's look a a a verse from the Old Testament and the New Testament. 

Psalm 119:136-Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions. 

When we see people acting in a way that is contrary to God's nature and character, it should break our hearts. Prayer should be our #1 response not picketing. Intercession not instigating should be our natural reaction. 

Matthew 9:36- When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Jesus saw people that were not following God's word or His ways. That is actually why he left heaven and become human. May we follow His example and live our lives the same way.

The first D in 3D living is learning to DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS. The 2nd D in 3D living is Discovering other peoples story!

Everyone has a story. Each persons story has some good moments, bad moments, joyful moments and painful moments. Our stories our good indicators of why and who we are today. When you get to know someones story you can relate and connect with them in greater ways. When you learn someones story you can be compassionate instead of critical. 

So how do you learn someones story? Ask questions! Ask more questions than you talk about yourself. Find out about the other persons life. Here are some great starter questions...
  1. What was your childhood like growing up? 
  2. As a teen/young adult what did you dream of doing? 
  3. Have you always worked in this field/line of of work? 
  4. What was your spiritual life like growing up? 
  5. Where do you usually find your happiness from? 
  6. Has there been a season of your life that you have enjoyed the most? Why? 


There is obviously thousands of more questions you could ask but these questions will begin to help you develop of habit of getting to know other peoples stories. As you learn other peoples stories, you will see natural doors open up for you to share your faith.

On January 17th we continued our NEW SERIES "Just Walk Across the Room." This entire series we are looking at how to share our faith in natural way regardless of your personality type or experience.." You can listen to the podcast or download it by clicking here WYANDOTTE FAMILY PODCAST

We all have seen people sharing their faith in ways that are less desirable. We have seen people talk, talk and talk and never listen. We have seen people with megaphones and signs. We have even seen people yell and get angry. So how in the world are we supposed to share our faith? 

The first D in 3D living is learning to DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS 

Building friendships takes more time and effort than simply sharing information. Listening to others and learning about others is harder than talking. Loving people is harder than proselytizing. 

Proverbs 18:2 says a fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions. 

If we want to share our faith we have to become better at friendship building. We have to become better at caring for people. Listening to people. Loving people. We have to become better at understanding. 

I love what Mark Batterson says in his book "The Wild Goose Chase." "If we are going to fulfill the ancient commission we need to get out of the comfortable confines of our Christian ghettos and invade some hellholes with the light and love of Christ." 

What would happen if you put your script, speech and plans aside for a moment and began to build friendships with people around you? What would happen if you genuinely looked for opportunities to serve and help? Can you imagine what doors God would open up for you to share your faith? 

Can we really be good at sharing our faith?

Sharing our faith can be intimidating and awkward at times. We don't want to come across pushy or offend others. Yet we know sharing our faith is important. It says in Psalms...

Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies. Psalms 107:2 NLT 

So how do we do this? Is there a way to share our faith in a natural way? We are going to spend the next 3 Sunday morning gatherings and the next 3 blogs going over 3D living. 3 D's to sharing our faith in a natural way.
