AMEN! You're on a mission my fellow Christians. And all you need is your spouse, maybe a bible, a mattress, and 24 hours.
Starting at 6am, on the wacky Friday the 13th, Grapevine Pastor Ed Young and his wife Lisa will be spending all day in bed on the roof of their church, streaming the love-making marathon live on the internet.
Wait, there's a catch, the Youngs won't actually be doing it, but they will be talking about it. The open Evangelical couple will be hosting an open discussion about marriage, relationships, sex, and other topics. You can all of their beliefs in their book: "Sexperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy with Your Spouse," which helps and encourages married couples to have healthy sex lives.
"Tragically, culture has kicked the bed out of church and God out of the bed," Rev. Ed Young told the Christian Post. "It's time to bring God back in the bed and put the bed back in the church. That's what this bed-in is all about."
The Youngs are also encouraging their 7 day "sex challenge", which they introduced to their parishioners back in 2008.
The couple challenged Christian couples to have sex every day for a week in the belief that open and active sex lives, strengthens the bond between married couples and reduces temptation for pornography and other addictions.
The challenge certainly has worked for them, the Youngs have been "happily married" for nearly 30 years, and have four kids.
They should be happy and not just because of sex. According to WFAA-TV News Dallas, which conducted an investigation on Young in 2010, the pastor earns a salary worth about $1 million per year and generates untold profits from various intellectual property holdings including books, sermons, television programs, and mailing lists obtained from church marketing websites.
What do you think about the Pastor's sexperiment?
