Palin’s Daughter: Sexual Abstinence for teens is “not realistic at all”
Friday, February 20th, 2009After watching this short clip… go read R. Albert Mohler’s great post on Bristol Palin’s surprising comments on teenagers and sexual abstinence.
Bristol Palin is back in the headlines, and some Americans may be shocked. Bristol told Fox News that teenagers should not have sex. However, she also said that sexual abstinence for teens is “not realistic at all.”
…
The real issue for Christian teenagers and their parents is not to debate whether sexual abstinence before marriage is realistic or not. The larger and more important issue is that sexual abstinence until marriage is the biblical expectation and command. Once this is realized, the responsibility for everyone concerned is to ensure that expectations and structures are in place so that abstinence is realistic.

Friday, November 21st, 2008According to this news report:
Online dating site eHarmony will create a service for same-sex matching in a settlement of a 2005 complaint that the company’s failure to offer such a service was discriminatory.
Under terms of the agreement with the New Jersey attorney general’s office, eHarmony Inc. will start the service, called Compatible Partners, by March 31.

The Need for Sound Teaching…for Sound Relationships is OFF THE CHARTS!
This is another sign of the confusion in our culture and the need for solid teaching on relationships and sound counsel regarding God’s design of Biblical manhood and womanhood and also how to go about the process of finding a mate and forging a love in a way that glorifies God.
We are committed to addressing these issues head on. This is a reminder of how important a ministry like Life-Trac Family Ministries and RockSolid is. Please pray for us!
