I was on iTunes this morning looking for some music and found the titles for the “Top 10″ downloads on iTunes somewhat amusing.  The titles include songs about hooking up with aliens (E.T. by Katy Perry) and other things that involve two letters (S&M by Rihanna).  Of course, who can’t snap their fingers to crooners Jeremih and 50 Cent’s romancing duet, Down on Me?  To be clear, I don’t think all secular music is bad, but I can’t help but chuckle at the eleventy-billion ways our culture has found ways to talk about sex, without calling it sex.  And you thought your parent’s metaphors when you had “the talk” or your school-teacher’s “birds and the bees” was a terrible explanation?  E.T.?  Really, America?  That’s got to be the worst metaphor I’ve heard of in my life.  But I digress…

Over the next three weeks at TheCity, we’re going to take a break from Philippians and talk with high school students about Love, Sex, and Dating.  No catchy slogans, no bracelets or rings, no awkward metaphors…just love, sex, and dating.  At the end of each week, I’ll do a Q&A Session where you and your friends can anonymously ask any question pertaining to the topic, and I will answer it.  Here’s the deal, I’m not going to tell you that talking to girls will result in pregnancy or that God sheds a tear every time you think about something inappropriate.  Instead, we’ll look at the issues dead-on, have fun, laugh a lot, and remember that it’s all about Jesus.

See you this Wednesday at 6:30 for hanging out and food, 7:00 for D-Groups, and 7:30 for awesome music and a message.
