Sex God by Rob Bell
A book I have read over, and over, and over again. Here are some thoughts from the book that I wanted to share with you..
(Any time that I have something in quotes– on any of my blog posts– it’s either song lyrics, a direct quote from someone, or a quote from a book or movie. Just so ya know. I don’t always directly reference who I am quoting, so here is my “reference.”)
“Sex. God. They’re connected. And they can’t be separated. Where the one is, you will always find the other. This is a book about how sexuality is the “this” and the spirituality is the “that.” To make sense of one, we have to explore the other. And that is what this book is about.”
“There are these moments when the enemy all of a sudden becomes just like me.
When a soldier becomes a son.
When a prostitute becomes a mother.
When they become we.
When those become us.
When he becomes me.
Moments when all of the ways that we divide ourselves and rank each other and convince ourselves of how different, better, and unalike we are disappear, and we are faced with the fact that first and foremost, we are humans. In this together. And not that much different from each other.
Jew. Gentile.
Marine. Iraqi.
Orphan. Family.
Pastor. Prostitute.
We could be them.”
