How Are You Morally Guarding Your Children?
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality.”
1 Thessalonians 4:3

Ponder This
What has led to the moral impurity we see today? What has caused the situation that we find ourselves in? In the first place, the attitude of modern parents who cannot wait for their children to grow up.
- We see boys and girls dating at the age of ten, going steady by the time they're thirteen, then we’re shocked when they’re in some sort of life-altering situation before they're old enough to vote.
- Schools with sex education classes in kindergarten have done a lot of enabling here.
- Unmonitored screen time is another culprit.
May God have mercy upon us.
Practice This
We’re pushing young people into situations they’re not emotionally and mentally capable of handling. Young people today find themselves playing with matches in dry grass. And we as parents must take responsibility. Are we protecting them or asleep at the wheel?
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
