Song of Songs - Death
Reed and his wife LeAnn sit down for ‘the talk,’ imagining how they might talk to their kids about sex when they’re college-age. We are often told, “Don’t have sex before marriage,” which is good and right, but the bible doesn’t say it quite that concisely. It’s more like wisdom than law, which means that, as we grow older, we need to dig deep into the wisdom of it to see why it holds true.
