What I want my kids to know about sexual sin.

1.  It is a unique sin that has consequences which stay with you for good.

2.  You must keep the line way back from what is wrong.  God does not want you to get hurt, and once you cross the line, there is a ton of pain.  You should set guardrails that are well back from the line and feel discomfort when you come even close to the guardrails.

3.  The world sends a much different message than the Bible in regards to sexual sin.  And the world will trsmplr on you when you cross the line, even though they condone the sin.

4.  Be unique.  Don't be like the rest of the world and have to deal with their problems.  There is tremendous joy in staying clear from sexual sin, and the world will respect you greatly for it.  Maybe not at first, or at all times, but they will respect uohnfor it, because all of God's ways are always best.

4.  There is tremendous joy in staying pure.  Don't make unwise decisions thdt will lead to consequences that you will have to deal with for the rest of your life.  Instead, make good choices that will lead to positive rewards that you will be able to deal with for the rest of your life.

Eagerly anticipating heaven

I need to properly anticipate heaven.  While it is good to want to be with my children here on earth, I must not allow that desire to prevent me from being absolutely excited about seeing Jesus.

I exist for Him and His Kingdom.  If inwas to die, that would be the best thing for me.  I can trust the Lord to take care of my family.  After all, it is Him taking care of them even while I am here on earth.

I must eagerly anticipate seeing Jesus.  If I am not absolutely pumped and excited to see Jesus' face, then I don't have the view of Jesus that I should.
