Been reading through Rob Bell's book, "Sex God" and here are just some gleanings.
pg. 40 - "We're severed and cut off and disconnected in a thousand ways, and we know it, we feel it, we're aware of it every day. It's an ache in our bones that won't go away."
pg. 63 - "When we act like angels or animals, we're acting like beings who were created before us. We're going backward in creation. We're going the wrong way. We're headed back toward the chaos and disorder, not away from it." (To put this quote in context, Rob says that we act like angels when we treat sex as something dirty and forget that God created it and it is very good. And we act like animals when we treat sex as common and merely a physical act and forget that God created sex within a certain context to be enjoyed. That context is within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.)
pg. 75 - "We're addictive creatures. We try things, we experiment, we explore, and certain things hook us. They get their tentacles in us, and we can't get away from them. What stared out as freedom can quickly become slavery. Often freedom is seen as the ability to do whatever you want. But freedom isn't being able to have whatever we crave. Freedom is going without whatever we crave and being fine with it."
