    dating someone who has "different" beliefs

    It's not bad at all to date someone who has a different point of view from you. Everyone is going to have different points of view and slightly varying beliefs regardless of the topic. It's always good to have a healthy discussion on things and learn how someone else thinks. If you find...

    Music Inspired by the Story

    Yesterday I was wandering around on Amazon.com (which is dangerous. . .but that's a different story :P ) and I stumbled upon a fantastic collection of songs. I have a link to Amazon just so that you guys can listen to clips of the songs...

    Big question....?

    The only balance there is for showing Christ's love is doing just that. To ensure that the youth aren't relying too much on you, when you're mentoring to them give them examples of how to handle a situation themselves or provide them with Scripture that helps them understand that God is there...

    Help a 17yr old is interested in my 13yr old :(

    For being 15, these are some very good points. I would add that when/if you talk with the 17-year-old again that you don't make it seem as though you are accusing him of doing anything. Don't assume that something is going on when you really don't know. Maybe you could invite him over for...

    Protecting Kids from inappropriate content

    This sums it all up. The best thing to do is to encourage teens to have open dialouge about sexuality with someone they trust. It could be a parent, relative, youth pastor, or other trusted adult. The bottom line is to not drop the ball and stay quiet about it. That is what leads to most...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    "The Book of Eli" This was a very good movie. A little bit violent but in the context of the movie it makes sense. There was a very interesting twist at the end of the movie that nearly blew me away. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and it made mention of the Bible and Scriptures...

    How to bring religion into teens lives

    If there is a Quaker church in your area (probably a church with "Friends" in the name) it's a very laid-back easy church to get into. There aren't all of the same traditions that Catholic churches hold tight to and overall the Quaker faith is easier for teenagers to understand which makes it...

    Christian Sex Education

    One good resource I've found that also give a Christian perspective is www.boysunderattack.com. They provide answers for just about any question a pre-teen or teen guy might have and also has a section for parents that explains the philosophy behind the website. Overall, the book "Teenage...

    son looks at evil websites

    This is true. inappropriate contentography won't be the death of him. Is it good for him to be watching? Not at all, but as a teenager he's naturally curious (all the hormones don't help either) and it can't be helped too much. This hits the nail on the head. Your son is growing up, he's a teenager, and...

    The 13 yr old pulls a knife.

    Wow. I see so many problems with how you are handling the situation (no offense Blue Sapphire). Johnnz and seaisabella are definitely on the right track: your son can't be expected to figure this out on his own. God could help him if he would open his heart to the Lord's Will. Unfortunately, I...
