Teens, Sex, & Grades: A Response – Part I

Buddy — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:39:18 +0000

“Study: Teen Sex Doesn’t Affect School Performance” That’s the headline this week reporting on the results of a joint study by researchers from the Universities of California and Minnesota. You can read the article on FOXNEWS.com here. This bothers me on many levels: As a father. As a Christian. As an engineer/statistician. This headline “greenlights” teen sex, in [...]

Living Pure In An Impure World: Defense

Buddy — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:14:23 +0000

DEFENSE… In football it means preventing the other team from scoring and getting the ball back. Same in many other sports, and in many non-sport endeavors. But, when I think of “defense” in terms of the moral impurities in this world I don’t think of sports. I think: COLD WAR. You see, I was a Cold War sailor, [...]

NOTE: This post deals frankly but respectfully with issues regarding sexuality & God’s standard for humanity. If this makes you uncomfortable, please consider that we are discussing GOD’S DESIGN. “Keep your wits about you.” That’s what my dad said when I went out on dates, ‘WAY back when I was in high school. He said that to [...]

Why Viewing Porn Is Like Visiting The Food Court At The Mall!

Buddy — Mon, 10 May 2010 13:20:35 +0000

Over the years I’ve heard a lot of “support” for pornography: “I’m not really cheating.” “I’m only looking.” “It’s a substitute until I get married (or while we deal with issues).” I haven’t seen “THOU SHALT NOT VIEW PORN!” in the Bible. Recent surveys show that more and more Americans, even Evangelicals, find nothing wrong with viewing pornography. With [...]

…Because What’s On The Internet Even Grosses Out the HOOKERS!!!

Buddy — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:45:38 +0000

That’s the answer to the question: “Why should I install parental controls and filters? How bad can it be?” When I talk about what I do, helping parents keep kids outta pornography on the Internet, I often get the following responses: “C’mon, we had porn in our day, and it didn’t hurt us!” “Aren’t you being a little too protective?” Now, [...]

Resisting Sinful Lust!

Buddy — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:41:22 +0000

Every day I have at least one struggle with the temptation of sinful lust! Many tempting things can trigger this inner battle: A woman dressed in a revealing or provocative manner. A woman acting “flirty” or affectionate in public. Messages on T-shirts, shorts, and bumper stickers Billboards Certain songs TV shows Commercials Movies Internet ads Suggestive or revealing pictures in the news, and in articles [...]

“Safe Sex” Is Not Proven – The Scientific Truth!

Buddy — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:16:38 +0000

Our kids are being fed a cultural lie: If you have sex outside of marriage, and you use a condom, you are safe and protected from pregnancy and from STDs. Unfortunately, scientific evidence does not indicate you are safe or “protected” if you use a condom. It only states that the risk of pregnancy and/or infection by [...]
