Breakout Session Leader for MAKING A DIFFERENCE Conference for Women and Girls,

Sex:   How Much Is Too Much?

We have all heard the phrase, “enough is enough”, and that’s exactly how I feel about our “sex saturated” society:
I want to scream to the top of my lungs and wave my fist at Satan, 
saying “Leave God’s people alone!”  

We are being bombard by:
  • television, 
  • music, 
  • concerts, 
  • magazines, 
  • Hollywood, 
  • movie stars, 
  • books, 
  • graffiti, 
  • computers, 
  • you name it . . . it’s everywhere!  


Short of locking your children in your house with absolutely no electronics, and controlling their friends, at some point your children will see, hear, and be tempted sexually.  It grieves my heart to the point of wanting to fight back!  
The truth is none of us is immune to the temptation of making bad choices.  
PRAISE GOD we have a Father who is ready, willing, and waiting 
to save us and forgive us the moment we ask Him! 

What about our teenagers?  They are in the world everyday, facing issues unlike ANYTHING that you and I faced as teenagers! How do you help your son or daughter insulate themselves from the world, but not isolate themselves?  Having been a youth worker for 25 plus years, I have seen a shift in values concerning sexuality, including immoral behavior among “Christians” to such a degree that even I had to take a deep breath and ask God to give me the right response.

Our kids are burdened for their friends who have made poor choices; they don’t know how to help them.

  • Do they drop them and run, or share truth with love?  
  • What kind of message do they get from you at home?  
  • Would you know what to say to your children if they told you they were struggling with a certain sin?  

Folks, this is the reality that we live in today!
Let’s just recognize that this subject is intense and most people are afraid and uptight when confronted with someone seeking help in any sexual area.

If I feel this way as an adult, how does my teenager feel when they are put on the spot?  

As our teenagers are being faced with the most controversial issues of the day, how well are they responding?
What are your convictions?
More importantly, what does God’s word say?

Ask the Lord to speak to you through His word or through prayer as you bring this issue before Him today.
