In Homosexuality and
the Christian, Mark Yarhouse advocates that Christians “steward” their
sexuality. Just as we don’t own our money or other "possessions," we aren’t the
owners of our bodies (First Corinthians 6:19-20). Instead, God owns these things
and he has entrusted them to us to use them wisely for his purposes. Stewarding
our sexuality means behaving sexually in ways that serve others, further God’s
Kingdom, and bring honor and glory to God. Both Christians who struggle with a
homosexual orientation and unmarried heterosexual Christians have a special
burden to bear in this area. For them, sexual stewardship means celibacy.
