Parents - Stop Enabling the Pornographication of your Children

Just had a great walk and talk with a camper who is struggling with pornography and the issues to which it leads.

Wish it was an unusual conversation.

Two weeks ago at Polo a counselor and three teens publicly admitted their struggle with porn and asked for prayer.

The issue is not simply for males; it is a growing hazard for females (of all ages).

PARENTS! Wake up!

As I tell the teens, if they are growing more serious in their desire to live for Jesus, they may well have to set their standards higher than their parents.

A Christian home that allows MTV, for instance, is no longer a "home," but a "house." There are other stations beside MTV, but to allow that filth in the house is similar to letting 4,283 mules take a crap in your living room...with far deadlier results.

A Christian parent who allows their child to have a tv or computer in their bedroom is, well, stupid.

"Oh, but Jack, I trust my child."

REALLY?

There is no such thing as an illegitimate child, but there are far too many illegitimate parents who refuse, whether by laziness, fear, or "I don't want my kids to dislike me."

Moms and Dads...if you genuinely love your children...love them enough long term to let them hate you short term.
