Why Sexuality is Sick

Why Sexuality Is Sick offers a comprehensive, biblically‑grounded study of how human sexuality has drifted from its divinely‑ordained purpose. Beginning with the clear biblical framework—Ephesians 5:31‑32, Genesis 2:24, and the covenantal language that portrays sex as a sign of Christ’s relationship to the Church—the author establishes the original design: a unified, procreative, and mutually joyous intimacy within marriage.

From this foundation the work moves step‑by‑step through the historical and theological forces that have distorted that design. The “grand redesign” Paul describes in Romans 1 (the exchange of truth for a lie) is traced to contemporary practices such as pornography, sexual exploitation, extramarital relations, and the modern discourse surrounding gender identity. The author explains why sexuality dominates the cultural landscape, why it receives relentless attention, and why many—especially men—become enslaved to it. Pornography is identified as a chief “destroyer of men,” and the current gender wars are presented as a symptom of a deeper sickness that began at the fall and has proliferated through generations.

Each chapter pairs rigorous scriptural exposition with concrete examples. Ancient narratives—from Lamech’s “violence” to the Judges 19 incident—are juxtaposed with recent medical‑legal cases involving gender‑affirming care for minors. These case studies illustrate the tangible consequences of a sexual ethic divorced from its relational and spiritual context, showing how brokenness of the human heart has diversified into numerous areas of dysfunction.

Central to the argument is idolatry. By exploring worship’s original intent, the role of free will, and the way false “gods” such as knowledge, power, pleasure, technology, status, and sexual autonomy infiltrate the heart, the book shows how a fractured relationship with God leads to the worship disorders listed in Romans 1:28‑32 and Galatians 5:19‑21. The discussion remains practical, offering reflections on how modern idols shape personal decisions and cultural norms.

In the final section the author addresses why sexual distortion is especially pervasive today. He outlines a series of “right reasons” rooted in theological anthropology: the physiological design for pleasure, the lingering effects of the fall, spiritual warfare, and humanity’s tendency to seek immediate gratification or escape from emotional pain. Each factor is examined through Scripture, providing a framework for discerning legitimate desire from idolatrous pursuit.

The book concludes with a call to repentance and restoration. Readers are urged to reclaim sexuality’s original purpose through the gospel by cultivating a deeper relationship with God, practicing biblical discernment, and fostering healthy, covenant‑based relationships. Concrete steps for personal renewal are offered, making the volume a valuable resource for pastors, seminary students, counselors, and laypersons seeking thoughtful dialogue on sexual ethics.

By presenting the issue without sensationalism, grounding every claim in Scripture, and balancing exegesis, historical insight, and contemporary application, Why Sexuality Is Sick equips believers to understand the root of the problem, heal the brokenness, and restore sexuality to the gift it was intended to be.
