A Texas pastor and his wife known
for their frank talk on sex, religion and marriage are planning to spend 24
hours in bed on the roof of their church for everyone to see.
"For far too long, the church has kicked the bed out
and God out of bed," pastor Ed Young said.
At Fellowship Church in Grapevine, a bed is front and center
to explore the subject of sex within marriage.
"It's all about recognizing the importance of sex,"
his wife and fellow pastor, Lisa Young, said.
Ed and Lisa Young will not only be preaching about sex and marriage,
but this Friday they will also spend 24 hours in bed on top of their massive
Grapevine megachurch, encouraging married couples to have more sex.
"Basically the Bible says and God says I made love, so
you can make love in marriage," Ed Young said.p>
They are trying to help couples re-establish the special
bond many husbands and wives put on the back burner.
"I think for years people have carried their own sexual
baggage, into reading about sex in the Bible. They've only talked about the
don't do's, instead of the do's," Ed Young said.
Married almost 30 years with four children, the Youngs
believe sex connects, and ask couples to have sex for seven days in a row. They
call it "the sexperiment."
"This is about discovering intimacy," Lisa Young said.
Something they said their congregation was clamoring for.
"You actually said 'I want to challenge you with seven
days of sex.' The men stood and gave a standing ovation," she said.
The "sexperiment" is based on the Youngs' new
book, which looks at how fatigue, boredom and children can lead to marriage's
demise, and how more sex can rekindle connection.
"What we want to say is look there's a way to do, a way
to do it right… do it successfully," Lisa Young said.
The couple also shared personal ways to make your partner
desire more sex.
"We always like to say what God created is never
x-rated," Ed Young said.
The pastors said it is a gift from God, meant to please your
greatest love for a lifetime.
"We've looked at sex too casually. It's not a casual
thing, it's a profound thing, and it's definitely not a profane thing," Ed
Young said.
The couple's "sexperiment" will be streamed live
on the web.
Didn’t one of David’s sons have sex with his father’s wives and concubines on the roof, to show his scorn for his father?
1) You beat me to it.
2) WTH is ‘hair peace’???? Was John thinking about getting old and didn’t know his synonyms meaning, hair piece?
3) No link to the talented Yoko’s music? Believe it or not, she actually has a degree in music.
Gotta copy and paste this to my wife ,, It may work ;)

“We want to say there is a way to do it right.. a way to do it successfully”
I think most people know how to do it successfully, freaks.
“... it may work”.
No it won’t... but can’t blame you for hoping (LOL!)
That quote’s a keeper. Thanks for posting it.
This wouldn’t happen if they’d let priests marry. ;-/
Ed Young is pretty conservative I wonder about this one.
Yes, he did. One of Jacob’s sons also had sex with one of his father’s concubines, as a claim to power in the family.
These people obviously have no idea what “intimacy” means ... or “discretion” or “decency” or “ordinary good taste.”
Yes, and this man is no minister..he is just a pervert that is using God as his excuse for an over blown sexual appetite. Obviously, sex is something we need to get over at some point. If it were all totally kosher, then we would be having sex in the streets and all over the place for all to see. There is obviously something weak about it. It is ok in marriage, for a while, but spiritual love needs to fully relapce it. fhu.com has the roadmap for the replacement!
And unless he has iron bladder control, he'll be a Piddler on the Roof.
I wonder if God will produce rain clouds, thunder storms and hail to rain down upon the bed on the roof of the church? ;)
And now, a little musical inspiration ...

James Taylor - Up On The Roof
Contraception is your trip.
I watched the video. Some of it wasn’t fit to be discussed privately between two women or two men much less in front of a congregation which she said should include 3rd graders.
He said “sex is not something we do, it is something we are”. He also said “it needs to be between the ears before it’s between the legs”.
I heard four scripture mentioned, none were preached or expounded upon and the rest was shock value and opinion.
They said that sex was primarily for recreation. Where is that in the scripture? In Malachi 2:15 it says “Has not [the LORD] made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.” The scripture asks WHY ONE, in other words why did he give them sex? To produce godly children NOT for entertainment. They are attempting to use their logic. They said that if sex was primarily for procreation that it would stop being enjoyable after having children. God did make sex enjoyable and He did make it for our pleasure but that is NOT the primary purpose and the Bible disputes your pastor and his wife.
Your assertion that he is a sound biblical preacher was not demonstrated in this video. I watched it with an open mind as someone who believes that sex needs to be talked about in the church although in appropriate venues.
They are not having sex on the roof. Watch the video and become informed.
