Pastor and Wife Preach Married Sex With 24-Hour 'Bed-In' By Lindy Royce-Bartlett

(CNN) – A pastor encouraging his congregation to have sex? It may sound unlikely, but it’s what one prominent Texas pastor is doing this weekend, with a 24 hour rooftop “bed-in” with his wife.

To encourage members of his congregation and others to take part in what he calls a “sexperiment,” Dallas pastor Ed Young and his wife Lisa began staging a "bed-in" on Friday morning, laying in a bed on the roof of their Texas church for 24 hours.

They say they want to illustrate that sex begins in heaven.

“It’s time to put the bed back in church and God back in the bed because God is the one that thought sex up," says Ed Young, senior pastor of Fellowship Church.

While in bed, the Youngs plan to have bedside interviews via skype with various pastors and friends to "discuss tantalizing truths about sex as God intended," according to their website.

"God said that we are to make love within the beauty and the covenant of marriage," says the pastor.

In a new book titled “Sexperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy with Your Spouse,” the Youngs encourage readers to have sex with their spouse every day for a week. By doing this, the authors believe married couples will gain a greater sense of purpose for their lives together, and gain a deeper understanding of God's plan for their marriage, among other things.

The Youngs say the church has been silent about the issue of sex for too long and that they believe the issue should not be so taboo. God is "the author and creator of sex," Lisa Young says. "Why would we not - in the context of church -...

Yet another "Christian-Evangelical" interpretation of Scripture?

Sex is a gift from God and to be enjoyed inside the bounds of marriage. Sex in marriage is Biblical, and it is good.

Okay, who’s going to be the first to post a shot of John and Yoko?

Maybe she just doesn't feel like getting boinked. Broads are funny like that. I'm married to one. 29 evenings out of the month, it's a flannel nightgown and in bed by 8. Then one evening at random, it's the tiger-print nightie at midnight. Go figure.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Just like my husband.

LOL! ROFLMAO!! LOL!! You are such a card.

Seven days of sex may be great if your wife looks like the pastor's, but what about the guy married to Debbie Stabenow?

Oh yeah, he got arrested for soliciting a hooker a few years back. Guess he wanted to try seven days of sex without Debbie.

Did ya ever check the phase of the moon or what position the stars are in, which way the wind was blowing, etc., etc......... :^)

[Steelfish]

Of course. But this requires no Sciptural anchor. Once again we have the Jimmy Swaggart, Jimmy and Tammy Baker, Paul and Jan Crouch, Benny Hinn, Robert H. Schuller, Joel Osteen frauds who would use their own interpretation to lead their flock astray and build their family financial empires. The enduring curse of the Reformation.

Oh, you give him the ol' 'cold and clammy' treatment every day but payday, too, huh?

Wouldn't coincide with your bath night, would it?

senior pastor of Fellowship Church

IIRC, it was formerly named "The Fellowship of Excitement". So, maybe this is considered a revival?

Of course I kid. Let the guy probe for new meaning. I wonder when he will report his findings?

'Did ya ever check the phase of the moon or what position the stars are in, which way the wind was blowing, etc., etc......... :^)'

No, but I do check the bathroom trash for things like discharged plastic tampoon shells (which is a no-brainer, even if I find a week's-worth at a time, which I usually do - I swear she rides the Tampax Express two weeks out of the month), what part of her anatomy is causing her pain after work, and the direction our flatulent Dachshunds' asses are pointing in relation to her face at bedtime. It's a science, but I'm working at it. I think I just might have to trade her in on a lower-mileage model. Her damn motor won't run, and ya can't find parts for her vintage anymore.

You’re doing it wrong. You politely slap her butt, say “I’ll be along in 5 minutes - get your tush in bed!” ... sometimes works ... ;-)

What always works is “The husband’s massage”. Lights low, a little music, start with a standard massage, don’t hurry, trust me you’ll both end up happy.

It’s called “The husband’s massage” because no one except you better be covering those spots. Try it you’ll like it. ;-)

[Viking2002]

Yup - that sounds just like our house. But if she's not on Facebook to play mama duck to everyone else in her dysfunctional family, then her cell phone is chirping and warbling on the nightstand the rest of the evening. Plus, with her online business, she has to put in an hour or two into it every evening. I've already threatened to find a girlfriend, and told her she can just call me when it's safe to come back to my own home in the evening. She said, "Fine. Just don't catch anything you'll bring back to our bedroom."

I mean, how the hell would she even know? Ya dig? LMAO

A damp pot scrubber and musk aftershave goes a long way, pal..........

No, that'll get me a snoring, quilt-covered lump at the far end of the bed in five minutes. And usually with one or more inconveniently-positioned weiner dogs taking up residence between me and the goodies.

'What always works is “The husband’s massage”. Lights low, a little music, start with a standard massage, don’t hurry, trust me you’ll both end up happy.'

No, she'll let me massage whatever is hurting that she's either had surgery on, or needs surgery on. Then I get I perfunctory, 'Good night. Love you.' And she rolls over. Nice try, though.
