Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships
Jan 28, 2009 - comments: 2 -
Today Dr. Land’s special guest is Chip Ingram, president of Walk Thru the Bible and author of a new book, Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships.
Unfortunately, despite all the hype in magazines, movies, seminars, and books, for the most part people aren’t doing very well when it come to this area of their lives. That’s why I’m looking forward to today’s interview with Chip Ingram; I can’t wait to hear why he thinks there is such disappointment in love relationships.
I am overwhelmed with how often the words divorce, breakup, baggage, ex-mate, and abuse are common in our relational vocabulary. Chip has written an outstanding book on how to build a lasting relationship that can lead to a fulfilling and committed marriage.
Hebrews 10:34 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” The primary question we need to ask ourselves of every relationship is, “am I helping my brother or sister become more and more like Christ?” If you or I can’t answer that question clearly, the relationships we are forming are not healthy. But if our relationships are enthusiastic adventures that have as their goal to help one another walk in the light, even if our lives go separate ways, we will be able to express deep gratitude for the benefits we have shared.

I listened to the show today- Very interesting. I have 2 daughters of my own ( 4 years old and 2 years old) And I’ve always have moments of anxiety when I see teen girls and how they dress, and knowing what they do… I question myself… “How am I going to teach my girls the fundamentals of relationships and Gods view of our relationships?”- the show really peaked my attention- I want to get the book- just so I can have it 10 years from now to instill Good values into my children when it comes to Sexual activity.

I just completed the DVD series and I think it’s great. I highly recommend it for parents, singles, teens, and college age students.
