Teaching kids about Internet safety is a challenge for every parent. To begin with, many parents may not feel competent to discuss technology dangers with their children, especially when they had to ask the kids how to load an iPod! Then there is the age old problem of kids discounting what parents say because, well, they are PARENTS!

It’s that time of year. GIFT GIVING ABOUNDS!
Every kid has made lists of what they want Santa (or SOMEBODY) to give them, and parents are working to give their children the best gifts they can.
Now, the BEST GIFT a parent can ever give a child (and not just at Christmas) is an introduction to Jesus of Nazareth. That is a gift with Eternal effect!
But, there is a gift that parents should always be giving, even though it is the “SECOND BEST“. I bet you can’t guess what it is!
It is the gift of happily married parents!

Yeah, I know. I really dated myself with that title.
Still, if we are going to protect our kids, we need to understand and act on the need for “strong” passwords. It also protects Mom and Dad!
Ask yourself this: Would I want to have a front door key that matched a lot of locks installed on the front doors on my street? Of course not! That’s because their keys would then work on MY FRONT DOOR, too!
I want a key that is “special” or “unique”.
The same should hold true about the passwords you use, both on your PC and on the Internet.

OK, it’s almost here, AGAIN!!!
BLACK FRIDAY!
First, if you work in retail, may the Lord be with you! I HATED Black Friday when I was working my way through Seminary!
Second, there are a number of hidden dangers and other considerations that parents need to keep in mind before they go shopping that impact both Internet safety and Internet purity!
So, quick and dirty, let’s look at some of them over the next few posts!

Sex, SPOUSES, and the Internet – Part 4: Cyber-Sex…And ADULTERY
A recent article recommended by a friend on LinkedIn talked about how “anonymous sex” is expanding among the heterosexual community. Such has long been a part of the homosexual culture but technology is dragging the heterosexual community into such behavior.
What is “anonymous sex”? It is exactly what it sounds like: Hooking up for the purpose of having sex with a person who is, essentially, a complete stranger.
Why is this growing among straight folk? Two words: THE INTERNET!

Marriage, Sex, & The Pistachio Principle!
Adultery is a BIG DEAL! While our Society may seem to be getting blasé about it, God’s standards haven’t “mellowed with time”. As a matter of fact, the injunction against adultery in the Ten Commandments comes between the injunctions against murder and theft!
With all this neat, new technology flying around I’ve noticed people (and to an extent, Society) have been redefining adultery. For instance, the following may not be adultery (in many minds, today):

Marriage, Sex, & The Pistachio Principle!
Back when I was cruising in Uncle Sam’s Canoe Club (aka the U.S. Navy) we were always eager for the cargo plane, called the COD, to arrive because … They might have MAIL!!! This was back when letters took 4-6 weeks for mail to go from the States to wherever we were out making holes in the ocean!
Now, it is a fact that some letters between couples were hot enough to deserve asbestos envelopes! And, sometimes, you might not get just a letter but a sexy picture, or even a hot cassette tape! (Yep, I’m THAT old!!!)
Today, married couples who are separated for long periods of time have more options than just writing love letters to express their affections and desires. Computers and the Internet have added many new options.
The question is: What is OK, not OK, and in between? What are the risks?

In the beginning was the PC.
Then came the modem.
The CHAT ROOM soon followed…
…and cybersex was born…and it flourished!!!

We all know how the Internet and other new communications technologies are impacting the lives of kids. Whether it is online pornography, sexting with peers, or predators, the culture that our children exist in has expanded with new danger that parents have to keep aware of.
But, what about the impact on Mom and Dad? We would be naive if we thought that parents and their moralities were not being affected by all these new capabilities. We’d be more naive if we didn’t consider how Satan is using these technologies against the family?
Of course, not all of the impact of technology has been negative. Far from it!!!
So, as I start this new series, let’s look at the potential GOOD side of: Sex, SPOUSES, and the Internet!

When kids get involved with bad stuff and/or bad people on the Internet it is hard to know what to do. Our first reactions, our NATURAL reactions, may actually be some of worst things we can do to help our kids. And, sometimes, we go ‘WAY overboard!
Let’s look at a couple of common reactions parents have to inappropriate Internet activity (predators, cyberbullying, pornography, sexting, etc.) and look at what NOT to do, and why!
The first thing that parents tend to do is: DETONATE!
