How Having 'The Talk' Can Save Your Kids
June 18
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4
As a pastor, I get quite a few questions from parents about how they should feel concerning some of the things their kids are learning in school. From human evolution to morals and ethics, I hear it all. But there’s no issue that disturbs me more than the idea of letting our schools teach sexual morals to our kids.
Now, I understand that in health class certain subjects are going to be covered related to reproduction. But what I’m talking about is the push I see by some to introduce so-called sex education in our classrooms. Some of these people even advocate handing out condoms to kids as young as 12 years old!
Not only that, but the past 30 years have also seen a rampant push by the media and others to portray premarital sex as the norm. So where are our kids going to be taught about sex in a healthy, God-honoring way? It has to start in the home.
I know that having “the talk” with your kids can be hard. But what’s worse? Going through a bit of awkwardness, or having your child educated about sex by the world?
Talk with your kids about sex. Make sure they know that abstinence before marriage is God’s way. Open the lines of communication with your kids and empower them to honor God with their bodies!
TALK FRANKLY WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT SEX AND TEACH THEM TO HONOR GOD THROUGH ABSTINENCE.

The message of Christmas is the message of the cradle, the cross, and the crown. The cradle because God became a man in Christ. But the wood of the cradle touches the wood of the cross, where that man died for the forgiveness of our sins.

These humble, lowly men had jobs that kept them away from their families, and were essentially nomadic as they followed their flocks around day and night. It was a lonely, poor life… a humble audience for the very first Christmas carol ever sung.

I appeal to you, brothers... that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you (1 Cor. 1:10). I think we can safely say Black Friday is usually not marked by a spirit of Christian unity, even though it’s supposed to kick off the Christmas season.

Several years ago, the Lord really impressed upon me that I was too consumed with ministry. Like any job, ministry can become such a part of your life that it starts to become and idol. And chief among the things that were being sacrificed to that idol was my marriage.

Myths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels when we die? Are they always hovering nearby, on guard to protect us from danger? Dr. Jack Graham walks you through Scripture in his book, Angels: Who They Are, What They Do, and Why It Matters, to help you discover the truth about these beings – and the role they play in your life.
