When it comes to moral purity …the world has changed a little since we were kids! No longer is it normal to save yourself for marriage. [[And the temptation to compromise looms large with our kids!]]

I’ve met with a lot of moms and dads who’ve learned their son or daughter is sleeping with someone. It’s a scary discovery. But tolerance in today’s culture has opened the door…granting teens permission to be sexually active as never before.

Teens, even though they hear a message of abstinence from mom and dad, can be overpowered by the cultural influence and driven by their own curiosity.

Mom, Dad, stay strong in your resolve. Let your voice be heard and your convictions clear. Then… make sure your kids understand you have their best interest in mind.
