It’s tough to maintain sexual purity in our sex-
crazed culture. And just when traditional values
could really use a shot in the arm, what do we get
instead? A massive assault on society’s morals.
The premiere of the movie “50 Shades of Grey” is
garnering a ghastly amount of attention this
Valentine’s Day weekend. Variety reports—
“The film, which began rolling out internationally
on Wednesday, opened No. 1 in 56 of its 57
territories, including the U.K., France, Germany
and Russia. It grossed $38 million on Friday for
an early total of $66 million.”
Never mind, apparently, that Valentine’s is
supposed to celebrate the love and romance in
relationships, not the dominant, manipulative, and
yes, even painful sexual experiences of characters
who, of course, are not married. Be assured,
theirs is not a story of genuine, authentic
romance despite it being linked with the love/
romance, hearts/candy holiday.
It’s bad enough that sex before the wedding ring
is being treated as the “norm”, but that’s the
least of the damage this tawdry story inflicts.
Early in their relationship, Christian introduces
Ana to his “Red Room of Pain” – a sort of horror
chamber complete with whips and chains and
other “accessories” used in the type of dominant/
submissive sexual exploits he appears to live for.
It’s beyond sad—it’s absolutely heart-wrenching—
that millions of people are willingly subjecting
their hearts and minds to the pornographic
images and scenes in this so-called romance.
I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that GOD
—the one who created sex—did not intend the
coming together of two bodies to be about
domination, control or pain. What HE created to
be an act of love, bonding and commitment
bears no resemblance to the sadistic relationship
on display in this erotic film.
Men, do not take your cues about how to treat
women from Christian Grey. Don’t allow his
warped view of GOD’s gift of
sex to influence your approach to love and
romance. Relationships should not be about
power and control.
Women, do not allows Anastasia Steele’s
apparent acceptance of her abusive and violent
relationship to form your expectations about how
men should treat you. Intimacy and sex are gifts
to be treasured. Being in love should not involve
dominance and pain.
Guys and gals, please, oh please, do not subject
your heart and mind to the ideas and images this
explicit story will etch into your being. Have
nothing to do with it. And urge your friends and
family to steer clear as well.
With all the hype, you might be curious as to how
explicit the movie’s scenes are or if it’s really as
violent and abusive as you’ve heard. Or maybe
you’re tempted to watch the movie or read the
book so you have first-hand knowledge and can
intelligently discuss the pros and cons. Please
don’t. Just don’t.
This is all you need to know about “50 Shades of
Grey”—
It is undeniably pornography.
What it promotes bears no resemblance to
GOD’s design for sex.
No one is strong or mature enough to read
or watch it without a negative impact.
If you’ve already been pulled into this so-called
romantic tale, walk away. Fast. There is nothing
innocent, harmless or beneficial about
involvement in the “50 Shades” story.
It’s never been easy to keep a commitment to
save sex for marriage. And the mass following the
“50 Shades” empire enjoys tell me that’s not
likely to change. In fact it will probably get
harder.
You see, the more accustomed people become to
graphic sexual scenarios in print or on the screen,
the less strength they’ll have to battle sexual
temptations in their own life. The blurrier the lines
between right and wrong will become.
Premarital sex? Why not?
Hook-ups, multiple partners? Go for it!
An affair? No big deal.
But sex is a big deal. It will always be a big deal
because that’s how GOD designed it to be.
Make no apologies when it comes to a
commitment to abstinence. Be assured our sex-
crazed world won’t make it easy on you, though.
That’s why accountability and mentoring and
boundaries are necessary. That why the tabs at
the top of this page point out books and articles ,
organizations and groups that will support and
encourage sexual purity. That’s why I welcome
your questions and concerns as you navigate the
often choppy waters of abstinence or renewed
abstinence.
We’re in this together. And I believe in you.

That film/novel is just wack

And I feel sorry for the women who get into relationships with a man with that 50 shades of grey mindset

The crap of a movie unfortunately became a best seller... with its pornography, violence, masochism and plain madness. Our women deserve better!
