Teen Pregnancy

So, another teen star is in the news for being pregnant. And the point is?

Teen age girls/women in this country are showing an increase in statistical incidence
of teenage pregnancies. You can not tell me that they don't know about birth control
when birth control information is all over the media.

Don't try to tell me that Evangelical Christians are to blame for it because we have
insisted that sex education should emphasize abstinence as the only fool proof method.

I am a firm believer in the Truth of God's Word in the Scriptures, and that includes
the Ten Commandments. That also means that I have sinned, because I have broken every one of the Ten, and I was in need of the Salvation to be found in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Our children need moral guidance, and most of my generation threw away their moral
compass in the 1960's. Again, I confess, that included me, but I have found forgiveness
and repentance.

For God's sake, literally, Christians need to forgive these young teens while not abandoning
the effort to train up our own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
We can't judge them, and it is God's Word that judges their sin. While we can call sin, sin,
let us not abandon these children who will have children to the work of Satan, but let us be
salt and light; reaching out to them to bring them the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, that hopefully, they might take the remedy that God has offered, and find their
moral compass, and raise their children up in a higher standard than that which many of us
have practiced.
