Few topics in Christian life generate more guilt or confusion than sexual purity — Stuart addresses it directly, honestly, and with gospel grace. Come to these questions prepared to be honest, not just correct.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Stuart argues that the Christian vision of sexuality is not primarily a list of rules but a high and beautiful vision of what sex is for. In your own words, what is that vision? Does it feel compelling to you?
2.He grounds the call to purity in the doctrine of the body — that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and was bought at a price. How does that theological foundation change the conversation from "How far is too far?" to something more substantial?
3.Stuart is honest about the power of sexual desire and does not treat it as shameful in itself — he treats it as a good gift pointed in the wrong direction when misused. How does distinguishing between the desire (good) and the misuse (harmful) help you think more clearly about purity?
a.Where in your own life has good desire become misdirected desire?
b.What structures or habits help you keep desire pointed in the right direction?
