October 6 - Standing Strong on Sexual Purity

"The world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions.  These are not from the Father, but are from the world."  1 John 2:16

• If we really believe sex outside of marriage is wrong, we've got to teach our boys and girls how to go against the grain in the society they are living in
• Whatever a parent's background, it's important to help children avoid poor choice
• If you are married, remain pure in your thoughts and actions, but perhaps even more important, encourage young people to pursue sexual purity

Thoughts from the top of my head:

• The proliferation of internet pornography and ease of its access only make this more important, and more important to talk to children at a younger age (as tough as that thought may be)
• Do we have plan?  At what age do we start?  Does the plan address peers and the media (including internet)?
• Who are some role models that we can point them to?
