The following story is based on real facts but pseudonyms are used to protect the identity of those involved.  Lexi is a very popular young girl. She is talented in most anything that she is involved in. She is a kind hearted, easy going young lady. She was raised in a home where family values of honesty, respect, and communication were upheld and where first person communication was regarded as the best way to communicate with another person or group. Lexi has one older brother and one younger sister. Over the past summer of 2023, Lexi was allowed to have a phone which could be used to communicate with her friends, since Lexi was getting older and more independent. Many of the boys in Lexi’s grade, and also older grades,…

Called From Two Sides

Called From Two Sides

I am thinking of the two invitations in Proverbs 9, which come from totally opposite directions, but are word for word nearly identical. Here's the first one. Wisdom has prepared a delicious banquet in her palace. The table is set, and delicious meats and wines mingled with warm or cold water are placed upon the table. It seems like a royal wedding will be celebrated. Wisdom has sent her maidens to proclaim in the open air an invitation to everyone. Especially the simple ones are called, foolish ones, inexperienced ones, and those whose understanding is darkened, who are actually sleeping. Everyone within hearing, in other words. Wisdom calls them to turn from the foolish, to forsake the foolish and live. Who is this wisdom? Read Proverbs 8;14-31, and it will…

There is Forgiveness

From the 2018 January special edition Insight Into During a Bible study, two prisoners were talking together. " I will never be able to forgive myself for what I have done," said one of them, "My sins haunt me every day," he added. "That is good to hear!" his friend answered, "I have relatives who feel no guilt at all. At least you realize what you have done, and therefore you need the Lord Jesus more." When I heard this, I had to think of Paul. He continued to feel himself to be the least of the apostles, Sexual addictions can also lead to this, it continues to sadden you, this is good, as long as it doesn't suffocate you, Cain ran away from God, because he had murdered is…

Best Phones for Kids:  The Ultimate Guide

Filters
Click Here: https://protectyoungeyes.com/best-phones-for-kids-ultimate-guide/ As we struggle to manage modern media in our homes, a common question is “when should my children first get a smartphone?” Our Synodical Modern Media Guidelines suggest that children shouldn’t receive a smartphone before age 16.  But are there options to provide a phone to kids before this age? Thankfully, just in the last few years, several companies have developed devices that look like smartphones and in some ways perform like smartphones, all while keeping the more serious dangers of smartphones out of our children’s hands. Protect Young Eyes has put together an excellent guide to the options.  We highly recommend you consider these alternatives rather than smartphones for your pre-teen and teenage children. *Please note, that although we have found valuable information from an external…
