GRAPEVINE, TX — If Rev. Ed Young’s congregation did as he proposed, this coming Sunday will be the seventh day in a row that its members got laid. According to The Dallas Morning News, the Fellowship Church pastor wanted to make a point about the importance of heterosexual marriage, which he believes is the only appropriate kind of marriage possible.
The point is that “Sex is like Super Glue. It’s a spiritual thing, an emotional thing.”
By accepting that sex is something that can nurture and strengthen a marriage, Young believes that upright Christians can turn their modern times “whining” into “whoopee.”
Some believe the seven-days-of-sex-sermon was nothing more than a publicity stunt aimed at drawing attention to his presumably now frisky mega-ministry. After all, he did vow to pose his challenge while sitting on a bed – although not dressed in his pajamas.
Young, naturally, insists that his intentions are being misunderstood, since “We’ve got more people than we can say grace over” already.
In fact, he has 20,000 Baptist souls to lead in prayer, which could lead to a very busy August for the local maternity wards – and it’s all part of his “Leaving Lust Vegas” seminar, which is just a portion of the video content he beams to the five Texan churches he serves in Grapevine, Dallas, Plano, Fort worth and Miami.
Although Young is hoping that his flock is “going to have a Happy Thanksgiving,” he’s not the first contemporary man of God to propose that his congregants get jiggy with one another as an homage to their savior. Earlier in the year, a Florida church took a 30-day intercourse challenge, which surely must have left some chafed and reeling.
The good Rev. Young isn’t one to talk his talk without walking his walk, however. “We’re going to give it a try,” he told the press, referring to his wife of 26 years and the mother of his four children.
