FOR THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL
There are a lot of

of students who attend
church :O. I know why
would they do that?
Church is awesome,
that’s why.
I want to honor
those students who, be-
cause of their commit-
ment to Jesus, want to
be a part of the body of
least once a month we
are going to do a church

night program, or even a
Sunday morning program.
It’s partly about being in a
community whose foun-
dation is Jesus. Some
students have said, “I
want that.”
To build that com-
munity and honor those
who have made that com-
mitment, these events will
happen regularly.
In February we
will have a movie day

with Nate Powell and the
Logan Christian Church. If

PARENTS PAGE
Do you know?

The other day Chelsea told me a great story. She was a young girl in
elementary school, and she really wanted a CD. It was the hottest new band out there
called N’SYNC. This boy band was huge and everyone wanted their CD. Chelsea’s
grandma bought it for her for Christmas. This is
Her father, Terry, commandeered the CD and listened to the whole thing. I’m
talking every word of this ear splitting pop boy band. It sounds like a bad dream where
listening to that whole CD. However, he did it anyway. Chelsea went on to tell me
how her father wanted to make sure the music she was listening to wasn’t trash and their world
that it was appropriate for her age.

Was he too protective, should his children have had the choice to listen to what view is
they want because they were individuals and can make their own choices? Should
they be able to choose because they need to be exposed to those things? Should shaped.
they choose so you don’t have to mess with it? Should they choose so you don’t have
to be the protective parent?

What if I told you that some of the most popular bands Jr. High School
students listen to promote murder, sex, drugs, suicide, and even female and male
prostitution. I saw a Jr. High School student the other day wearing apparel of one of
those bands. At that age should they be listening to that cause its cool?

Is it the child’s choice, or the parents duty to guide this young individual who is
under their care? It is a parents job to make sure their child is being influenced by the
right things. This is their developmental stage, where their view world will be shaped.
Who will have that influence? Who will instill those values?

Please do not neglect this as rambling, or ultra conservatism, but listen to what
it is, the eye is the lamp of the body, what goes in will shape the heart. Do you care
enough to look into what your kid is listening to and watching?
