teenagers and temptation

teenagers and temptation

hey all

I've been trying to advise my children on staying away from sex until marriage, with three daughters and a son at home it does get a bit tough my wife thinks I do ok but besides all the obvious reasons, there is one more I feel strongly about. If they give in to temptation and are not with this person forever, they have already dishonored somebody's future wife or husband. could this be a good word to them?

thanks

While it is a good word the desicions they make will be their own- we raise them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord, we teach them right from wrong and we reinforce this whenever possible in a loving, caring manner. I find there is no complete talk about sex without mentioning venereal disease- there are many of theses that will haunt you for life an some that will outright kill you- I want my teenagers to know about the dangers of sinful conduct- I want them to understand that at their age love ( no matter how real it seems) can be short lived - I want to impress on them that God will honor them as they honor Him in their choices- when all this is said and done I cover them in much prayer and put them in God's hands for He is much more capable them me- in His Name Larry
 
I think it's a good thing to mention. Perhaps the best thing you can do to illustrate the point is to let them babysit for a full 24-hours straight.

They can start any my house.:)
 
yeah Larry, they are in the most capable hands and I thank Him for it every day. hey Bassmasa we did this when the grandkids were real young and they still remember it. thanks Larry and Bassmasa

I have some great links to share but need to check with Jeff first.
I think all teenagers need possitive role models.
Yes, parents, but also people their own age.
I'll add more when I hear from Jeff.

Thank You for the info, Boanerges.
I would love for us to have a section of it's own for single life, courting, preparing for marriage, etc.....
I think it might be very helpful and encouraging.
I have alot to contribute.
