Your Kids and the Supreme Court's decision on Marriage

Here are several resources to talk with your kids about about the sex, marriage and same sex marriage.  "The goal should be that your kid's first exposure to sexual information is from you and that when questions and issues surface later down the road, they will be comfortable coming to you for counsel" (from ERLC article referenced bel0w).

Click Christian Parenting and Homosexuality for the whole article from The Master Seminary journal.  Below is a summary of the article.  One of the great parts of the article is the development of the eleven Biblical goals of parenting.

Abstract: The difficulties encountered in parenting, including that caused bychildren’s depravity, are best resolved through implementing biblical principles. In a society that is permissive and even positive toward the homosexual lifestyle, Christian parents should adopt eleven biblical goals in rearing their children. (1) They should do everything to reflect God and His glory. (2) They should help their children understand the gospel so that they receive salvation. (3) They should protect their children from physical and spiritual harm. (4) They should instruct their children in the truths of Scripture. (5) They should interpret Scripture so as to give their children a Christian worldview. (6) They should prepare their children for the responsibilities of adulthood. (7) They should prevent their children from falling to temptation by teaching them the consequences of sin. (8) They should correct any tendencies their children display toward sinful activities. (9) They should provide for the physical and spiritual needs of their children. (10) They should provide positive behavioral examples for their children to follow. (11) They should establish clear lines of communication with their children. These goals will help them deal with the same morally degenerate world as existed during NT times.
