4 steps Christian parents can take to address the issue of p*rn
I have written before on being hopeful and wise when it comes to the online lives of youth and children. Part of that wisdom is recognizing that your children will see images that you wish they did not. I am not going to use the p*rn word because I think it is more serious than that. What your child may stumble across or seek out or be sent may even be violent and non-consensual sexual images. These are not just images but high-definition videos. I use the word child as the latest Children’s Commissioner report states that 10% of children have seen such images by age 9.
Christian grandparents: An underused resource in the faith lives of youth and children?
It’s over 20 years now since my Grandad moved on to heaven, but I am still inspired by his prayers and the role model of faith he was to me. His well-worn Bible was always open next to his favourite armchair, and he told me on so many occasions that whilst he couldn’t physically do much in his later years, so he would sit talking to Jesus for large portions of the day, particularly praying for me and my family. I will never forget him. His faith inspires me still now and will do for the rest of my life.
