This bothers me on many levels: As a father. As a Christian. As an engineer/statistician.
This headline “greenlights” teen sex, in [...]
DEFENSE…
In football it means preventing the other team from scoring and getting the ball back. Same in many other sports, and in many non-sport endeavors.
But, when I think of “defense” in terms of the moral impurities in this world I don’t think of sports. I think: COLD WAR.

“I’m not really cheating.”
“I’m only looking.”
“It’s a substitute until I get married (or while we deal with issues).”

Billboards
Certain songs

Commercials

Internet ads
Suggestive or revealing pictures in the news, and in articles [...]
Our kids are being fed a cultural lie:

PART II discusses moral and developmental issues
Let’s face it, when you are dating, even in middle school, you are on a voyage of discovery. Ideally, you are discovering:

• How to navigate [...]
