“Paul never walked” (Normal Christian Worker 7C/10 – sexuality)

Paul never walked these roads with us –
A single guy with little fuss
Or bother from the Internet
Where fire-hose streams out porn, and yet –

He had his challenges from life
Around him (Roman culture's might),
So we must ask what's driver now,
Not driven, that's the key to how –

To do the hermeneutic task,
As jump is made from Jewish past
To current life in twenty-four,
To comprehend as we explore –

How Spirit seeks to help us here
In Canada – make gospel clear;
For sex is driven in our case,
To ease "core stress", unlike Paul's case.

To Paul, sex is a "driver" force
Quite powerful for most of course,
And that remains for us today;
But it's as "driven" force I'd say –

It's meaning comes – it eases stress
From Western lifestyle (what a mess
That is for all and sundry here!);
Like booze and drugs – its role's quite clear.

So deal with issues underneath –
Which drivers are for there we'll meet
Success as we turn right side up
Our troubled world which folks find tough.

Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
