Crude and lewd, churches who pervert (literally) the Gospel

Some pastors and churches seem to have a problem with language and lewdness these days, here is a good message from a mister Phil Johnson, addressing the perversion and degrading of the Gospel by some pastors/churches/ministries today.

Do I really need a sex sermon? On just a personal note, I find all these sex sermons to be degrading to women, they are being made to feel like they are supposed to do these things, regardless of how they feel, because they are better wives and Christians for it. I don't know, when I hear a pastors advice to single men who struggle with lust to "get a wife and look at her all you want", I find that to be insulting to women and as a single man, frankly not the way I would want my wife to feel. The Bible gives us a very beautiful portrait of the love of a husband and wife in the Song of Solomon, sadly some have tried to pervert this book into a sex manual. It is the type of love I would want to have, a deep emotional love, rooted in Christ that exemplifies all the wonders of marriage without being reduced to something sleazy and insulting. These sex sermons motivational speeches make me so angry because of what it is really telling men and women, all under the guise of Biblical mandate, and only makes the world mock the name of God and Jesus Christ even more.

Note: It is an hour long, too long for some people, listening to some of it or breaking it into parts is probably the easier thing if you are short on time. But well worth it.
