About this ebook

In too many cases, we are seeing the results of our failures. How many books have been written on this subject? Do a search for yourself in Christian Book Stores and you will find few books which address this subject. We lean on writings from others. Is this because we have no one qualified? I hardly think so. Perhaps it is because we are afraid of what others might say. Whatever the reason, we can little justify the ‘silence among the sheep’ on this subject at a time such as this.

Consider again, the pressures facing our young people. Are the pressures to conform and be like the others any less than when we were teenagers? If the survey Dad took were taken again, what would be the percentages? I dare say the percentages would not have changed that much, and perhaps may be more surprising.
The challenge still faces us, and the cry of our young people is still, “I need to talk with one who understands, or study material that will help straighten out my thinking.” The urgent need remains, “Would you please put something on paper, that kids like me could use in understanding life?” The cry of our young people still echoes in the words, “Oh, Brother Jack, PLEASE HELP!”

Much of it was discussed with us as he wrote. Changes were made, (Mom made sure of that), but the material is still poignant and touching, and VERY MUCH NEEDED... our young people are hurting from the lack of Christian materials available, and even more, the lack of real communication with their parents.
Let’s change this, and hopefully this edition of “SEX: PERSON? OR PERFORMANCE?” will help. This is my prayer.

Jack Exum

Redeemed and added to the body of Christ, May 31, 1959 at Southside Church of Christ, Beaumont, Texas. Graduated from Preston Road School of Preaching, Dallas, Texas, 1971. I ministered to congregations in Georgia, Saskatchewan, Canada, Indiana, Ukraine, and Florida. After the passing of my brother Robert Exum January 25,2016, my wife and I moved to begin work with the West Keene Church of CHrist in Keene, New Hampshire. I am a committed Christian, happily married to my wife Lauw Liang (Wiwik), from Indonesia. Together, we seek only to grow, and serve together in His grace, so freely given in Jesus. (Mailing address: 69 Blossom Street, Keene, NH., 03431.) Purpose and Philosophy statements: * To reach out to and encourage the body of Christ. Not only by publishing books by dad (Jack Exum), and eventually my own, but also dad's and my own studies on www.jackexum.com. I strive for BALANCE, avoiding EXTREMES, LEGALISM and LABELS which have contributed to division and sectarianism in the church. Growing in faith, hope, and love, unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, and being true to the Gospel of Christ, is 'where we stand.' My prayer is that we grow in grace, and learn to accept each other, being patient with those who question, or differ, while being 'Heaven bound' together. * To reach the lost. This is the mission of Jesus. Everyone deserves the privilege to hear about Jesus at least once. There is ONE God, and he loves you INCREDIBLY, There is ONE Savior, who gave His all that we might belong to Him forever, and ONE faith given to be shared in the power of His Spirit. There is ONE body to which all believers are added (Acts 2:38-47). That body has no official name in the New Testament but has several designations which describe relationship, with God, Christ, and each other. * To hold to restoration principles: 1. “No Creed but Christ.” (Written creeds, and traditions are not authoritative). 2. “Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent.” 3. “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love.” 4. “We are not the only Christians, but we are Christians only.” Allow the Lord to deal with the 'weeds.' * We understand what the Bible teaches about being saved. One "must be born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:3-5). For more on this read Acts 2. However, now everyone who obeys the gospel of grace will be found in a congregation with the 'acceptable name.' God knows all that are His. Whoever does what early Christians did to be saved, is my brother and sister in Christ. I let God do the judging, I have 'my plate full,' working on my own sinfulness, and growing in grace, while encouraging others to do the same. Grow in grace! Heaven bound!
