"Have you recently dated your child?"
"Do you know your child's goals, hopes, dreams, and fears?" Hurts? Struggles?
"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deut. 6:6-9

How To Win Over Temptation

1. Remind myself of the negative consequences of my choice.
How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God? Gen. 39:9

Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith... Heb. 12:2
What gets your attention, gets you. Monitor your media intake.

Two people are better off the one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Eccl. 4:9-10
