I had a second talk by Andy Comiskey from the same conference that was as good as the first one, so I decided to go ahead and post it on the podcast. Andy gives some painful and sobering statistics about sexual sin in our culture in this talk (note these are from 2006):
- 80% of college students have had 10 or more sexual partners with no intention of long-term commitment by the time they graduate.
- There is 14x more Lesbian behavior than 10 years ago.
- There is 4x more male homosexual behavior than 10 years ago.
- 75% of households have at least one person sexually addicted.
These numbers are literally insane. We have gone mad as a nation. We have pretty much arrived at the nirvana of sexual freedom that was envisioned by the sexual revolutionaries of the 40's - only it turns out that nirvana is a nightmare. We pay for this kind of sexual license with the lives of 4,400 babies per day and tens of thousands of sex slaves... not to mention the countless lives ruined (legally!) through "adult industries".
And the Church will have no credible voice to help anyone trapped in these snares and addictions until we make up our minds that Jesus is God and sex is not!
Andy Comiskey - Taking Authority Over Sexual Idolatry
A second talk from the same conference by Andy Comiskey, founder of Desert Stream Ministries and part of the IHOP-KC community.
Andy talks about the power of sexual sin as an idol in our hearts, and gives shocking statistics about the destruction of American sexual morality. A woman from Desert Stream ministries also shares her testimony of renouncing romantic and sexual idolatry during this talk.
It is time for the American Church to stop "faltering between two opinions." If Jesus is God, we need to serve Him and renounce sexual idolatry!
