We have Sirius radio, and I surf the dial all the time when I'm driving. (by myself that is)  Channel 1 is the pop channel, and the channel, I'm assuming, most kids listen to when they're in the car. 

 

I'm absolutely horrified at some of these lyrics.  HORRIFIED.

 

Britney is singing about threesomes.

Rap groups are singing about oral sex

Rock groups are singing about girlfriends who get wasted, dance with other men, and then go home with their boyfriends and go wild. 

 

What are we letting reach the ears of our kids?  There is so much we can't control in their lives, but there is much we can control.  I want my children to learn about matters of the heart and the beauty of love from those who don't parade our base urges around like much worshiped idols, and who choose NOT to think of other people as people to use and throw away for their own good pleasure.

 

God has things to say about both the purest and the most depraved versions of love and sex.  If we claim Christ as Lord, may we spend time learning and teaching ourselves and our kids His ways regarding this amazing part of the human experience.  If we don't spend  the time ourselves, and the time teaching our kids, they may get their questions answered by people like Britney Spears, Flo-Rida, and Theory of a Deadman.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Ephesians 1:   ³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, ⁴even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love ⁵ he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, ⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. ⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight ⁹making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ ¹⁰as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

 ¹¹In him we have obtained an inheritance,  having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, ¹²so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. ¹³In him you also, when you heard  the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire  possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

 ¹⁵For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, ¹⁶I do not cease to give thanks for you,remembering you in my prayers, ¹⁷that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, ¹⁸ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might ²⁰that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand  in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. ²²And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, ²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all
