3. Has objectification written all over it.
There’s a fine line between admiring beauty and objectifying. In a lust-driven society, we may say we’re admiring beauty, but we’re really saying, “I want that for my own visual or sexual pleasure.” When we objectify, we don’t value the human being, we take in the picture, video or live person in front of us for our own pleasure.
4. What message is this sending to wives?
Wives have a hard enough time with low self-esteem when it comes to their image. Magazines and movies already teach women that image is the most important thing; they don’t need their pastor sending the same message.
5. What if I don’t have a “smoking hot” wife?
Guys get jealous quick and covetous of another’s “smoking hot” wife whenever their relational intimacy at home is failing.
6. Is the pastor more blessed for having a “smokin’ hot wife”?
Any wife is a blessing from the Lord. The illusion for some is that the holy guy gets the better looking women. Would you be thanking God for your “average looking” wife? Would you even acknowledge this from the pulpit?
7. It draws attention to your wife that could cause others to stumble.
When I hear anyone say he has a “smoking hot” wife, I want to check her out for myself. I want to rate her on the “smokin’ hotness” scale. You push my button and trigger me to check out your wife.
