Christian education and sexual immorality in Pauline treaties
Abstract
The Nation is saturated with infidelity, secularism, materialism and a general lack of respect for the sanctity of the home. Sexual pervasion is on the increase on daily basis, display of sexual contents pervades the society. Pornography defiles the mind of both adults and the youths by polluting their minds with impure and unholy thoughts; the sanctity and sacredness of sex is eroding in Africa where men desire to have sex with other men, a woman desire to lay with a fellow woman and humans even desires to copulate with animals. One of the greatest challenges is that the role of the Church as an agent of moral education and transformation in Nigeria socio-religious and political system is undermined. The aforementioned issues demonstrate the need for church intervention through Christian education. This paper looks at the role of the church through the agency of education to curb and provides lasting solutions to sexual immoral behaviours that have permeates the fabric system of the African society (especially, Nigeria). The writer adopts historical, descriptive and analytical methods of research for effective achievement of his goal. This paper discovers that, one, Nigeria is bedevilled with blatantly moral corrupt leaders who have nothing to offer in curbing the menace of immoral acts in the country; and secondly, the present situation in Nigeria with regards to fashion and the flaunting of flesh is but one more manifestation of the decay of this country. Therefore, religion plays a vital role in bringing sanity and sanctity to family moral values in the African society. From Christian education perspective, Christian institutions should design courses that will impact the society positively: spiritually, socially, economically and politically.
