sex, shoes, and salvation
hey guys,
So at our youth group meeting on Sunday morning, we started talking about salvation. You know, the typical, "do you think you can lose your salvation" talk. These students are bright! But somehow, the conversation got onto influences. We started talking about shoes. Eventually, we started talking about sex. Then one of the girls said, "sex is a lot like shoes." To which someone else said, "sex and shoes are a lot like salvation."
I laughed.
So, we never officially tied the three together, but I have a gut-wrenching feeling that there is some way they do fit. I want to know how you guys think sex, shoes, and salvation fit together. I'm going to write my own blog about it eventually, but I wanted your guys' take on it.
No pressure ;)

I have no idea where to start! Sex...Salvation...Sex is...! aww nope. I'll get back to you.
Justin, you're awesome.
Yes we talk about sex at youth group. I don't go to your typical church anymore. I'm out at Gracepoint now (in case you haven't heard). We're very nontraditional. We literally think outside the box. It's awesome.
I appreciate your thoughts though. Even yours, Mike. I was thinking about this topic some more today, and Justin, I thought exactly what you thought. It's easy to attach an American worldview to all three: sex, shoes, and salvation. But it's too easy. I still think there's something deeper.
Something more central.
More key.
I just don't know what it is.
