Seriously,
I think satan has polluted our sexuality to such an extreme degree that healthy nonsexual affection of critical value to health, immune systems, brain development etc. has been minimized in our culture even for children. They especially need it but we all do.
I think being bold AND SPIRIT LED in affection in fitting ways can really do wonders to help bonding and other wonderful things opening folks up to The Gospel.
It shortened by maybe 6-9 months the time it took in relationship evangelism in Asia before someone was ready to hear about The Gospel.
So, HUG ONE ANOTHER!
I so agree.
