Intimate Issues Conference

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending an Intimate Issues conference held at our church put on by Linda Dillow and Lorraine Pintus. And yes, it was about what you are probably thinking. More importantly, it was about God's perspective of sex. Just to be able to talk about Gods gift to us and how to present it to my children as they grow was such a gift! This 10 hour conference was seriously life changing and I recommend all women to attend a conference if you have a chance, or to at least buy the book Intimate Issues that the two women co-wrote. A more recent release, titled Intimacy Ignited, targets couples and includes the womens' husbands as authors of the book for the male perspective. Here is just a tiny snip-it of one of the topics that we discussed:

"(3) The husband should fulfill his wifes sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husbands needs. (4) The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. (5) Do no deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer."

1 Corinthians 7: 3-5

Not much needs to be said about this passage. Pretty direct and strait forward, although ironically, I feel its something not many of us women knew or understood completely before this weekend. Thank you Lord for calling these women to present these topics to us in such a tactful, yet strait forward way. The sanctuary was truly consumed with the Holy Spirit!
