I LOVE ROB BELL
did you know you can download rob bell's sermons on the mars hill website???
i judged a book by it's cover (or an mp3 file from it's title), and downloaded an mp3 called "sexy on the inside"
mr. bell starts off his sermon, "tonight, i'm going to talk about sex, and next week is money, and then the week after that, it will be something relevant."
HA! so witty and sharp.
but then he turns it around and pulls this huge concept out of the sky and narrows it down to a paragraph (sometimes down to a sentence or phrase).
he ends up saying that sex has been redefined. when you hear "sex," you hear "intercourse."
and that's not accurate.
sex, as defined by rob bell, is being connected. it's community, not just a physical interaction.
and then, to go one step further, he says that others complain of society being over-sexed. he would argue, we're all under-sexed. we're all cut off from each other. there are so many things that we're distracted with that we're not in a community. we're separated and doing anything but having healthy, sexy relationships.
his tagline "sexy on the inside" actually came from his 4 year old son.
his son looked at his mom one day and asked, "mommy... what does sexy mean?"
his mother replied, "sexy is when you feel good in your own skin."
it's not just lingerie and doin' it. it's so much broader than that, yet defined so much more clearly.
