If Your Wife, Church, or Mother Approves
In the Beginning It Was Not So!

Mound, TX (ChristianPRgroup) - Wives who approve of their
pastoral husbands having a night out, and mothers who encourage their
married sons to be a little-less than faithful continues to devastate
God’s people. According to Dr. Steven B. DavidSon these are
cultural realities, and spiritual mind-fields that continue to plague
God’s people.
DavidSon’s experience reveals what seems to be impossible. “I
am not sure if we’ll ever be able to overcome the combination
of Biblical ignorance and defiance, and sheer hypocrisy. Here’s
a simple question. Which of the two sins do you hear about more predominantly
locally and nationally, adultery or homosexuality? I believe it is
homosexuality. However, homosexuality is not as expansive within local
church ministries as adultery. So, why don’t we stay on point
with adultery as an issue?”
DavidSon discusses why he stays on the topic. “We must continue
the effort to expose error within the Church, particularly error that
devastates the Church’s primary commission. There are persons
in ministry who will teach or imply as mentors that there is nothing
wrong with concubines, particularly if a wife approves. More than
thirty years ago I witnessed a profound preacher teach that wives
could approve of their husbands extramarital relationship. He used
I Cor. 7:4-5 as the basis for his assertion. Today, the same distorted
manipulation continues.”
What DavidSon calls pathetic is when mothers, friends, or relatives
encourage sinful behavior because of their desire to provide acceptable
counsel for their married sons or relatives. “I wish these occasions
where exceptions, but they happen far too often.” DavidSon identifies
the hierarchy of problems.
“This issue is simply a symptom of a larger problem. First,
we have people in our churches who clearly do not know Jesus. Jesus
is the one who told the parable of the four types of hearers ( Matthew
13:3-8). His point, ‘all of you are following Me, but only a
few of you get it!’ Secondarily, assess the typical ministry’s
development of God’s people. Is it systemic to ensure that all
principles are covered cyclically? Are people provided opportunity
to discuss the issues they face? Are programs evaluated to determine
their effectiveness? Are there minimal accountability standards to
ensure that members are learning principles of our faith, and real-life
scenarios? Finally, the issue of leadership preparation and ethical
standards is paramount. Those of us in ministry must set high standards
in preparation and conduct for those we lead and impress.”
Concerning sexuality, DavidSon shares that the issue of sexuality
is one of the major concerns Jesus addressed. “Jesus challenged
the disciples concerning sexual abstinence. He did this by word and
deed. Jesus is clear that humanity was designed for persons to have
only one sexual mate. And His follow-up to the explanation concerning
only having one mate is an unwavering mandate. He called for believers
to marry one mate or function as eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heavens
sake (Matthew 19:8-12). Again, this is undeniable. So, anyone with
a view that it is acceptable to have more than one mate holds an antichrist
position.”
DavidSon’s Christ-based counseling and educational ministry
is presenting a series of video sessions on Jesus and Sexuality. DavidSon
discusses excerpts from his book, Christ-based Sexual Counseling.
He leaves no stone unturned for married couples, singles, the sex-addicted,
and homosexually challenged. It is a Christ-based masterpiece. “I
see that Ed Young Jr. has also launched an initiative with his married
couples including a week of sex. It sounds ridiculous, but the initiative
underscores the ministry aspect of sex in the marriage bed. God created
sexuality. If we fear the topic, we open-the-door to Satanic exploitation.”
