Becoming True-Love Teammates
Teaching True Love to a Sex-At-13 Generation
Eric & Leslie Ludy
Leslie and I have found that often it is not our sex-polluted culture but the attitude of parents that holds the younger generation back from seeking more.
Maggie, a Christian mother of two teenagers, recently expressed to us a common parental sentiment. "Of course I want my kids to live solid Christian lives," she said, "but I don't see the need for them to become strange and isolated. I believe they can make good choices and still have a fun high school experience. I don't want them taking their convictions to an extreme. I want them to be normal.
But what does "normal" mean for Christian young people today? Normal means a watered-down commitment to technical virginity. Normal means a mind polluted by the perversion of the culture. Normal means a heart trampled by one short-term fling after the next. Normal means a lackluster view of marriage. Normal means stale and mediocre love stories.
Do you really want normal for your children?
