Let Me Clarify
Pastor Tom Houser
“Sex and Sexuality”

Grace Point’s position papers.

Sex Matters
We believe that scripture teaches that God has ordained sex for marriage between one man and one woman, with the purpose of having children and strengthening the marriage bond.

1 Corinthians 7:1–5 (ESV)

(MULTILINE)

Any other sexual activity is outside of God’s will, and is understood as sexual immorality.

1 Corinthians 6:9–12 (ESV)

(MULTILINE)

It is a sin against God, against our own bodies, and against those we have wronged through it.

1 Corinthians 6:18–20 (ESV)

(MULTILINE)

Sexuality Matters

Sexual attraction vs. sexual activity.

James 1:13–15 (ESV)

(MULTILINE)

So what do we do?!

1. is the only solution to the problem, and a new life is the only destination that ultimately matters (Romans 6:4).
2. Truth, humility, repentance, and love are necessary (Matthew 7:1–5)
3. requires patience (1 Thessalonians 5:14).
4. What we say and how we say it are important (Colossians 4:6).
