Comment on “But It’s The Prom!” by Ruben

Thank you. Even though you published this 4 years ago, It helped me today. You see, I’m a pastor’s son and I was not going to attend to prom on the grounds that “I don’t know how to dance” and “I don’t dance to that music”. Today I was openly asked to go to prom in the middle of my class; my response was: “I don’t know, let me think” I was disappointed in myself for not having an answer. I felt pressure so I googled “christians and prom”. This is the second link I’ve viewed and will not be the last. Thank you.

Comment on Must The Young Die Too? by Wade

It is always a tragedy when a great man of God is taken from us. I look around and almost all of the great men that I looked up to when I was young have all been taken into glory. Now, my generation is the one that has younger people looking up to them! Its a scary thought!

This was a good, balanced and thought provoking article. We must also realize that, while this is a big school event and varies at different school systems, it is only once a year. There are many lessons and attitudes of the Christian life that must be followed at other events, such as sports games, cheerleading, band, etc. and lived each day. The big thing for parents is that they be involved and discuss the various things with their children. Even volunteer to be a chaperone. Some congregations suggest “don’t go near” while others offer prom alternatives, and unfortunately, some have members that become the ‘life of the party’ and are sinning. We must also remember that these young people are 1 to 2 years away from being ‘away to college’ or such and by this time should be able to make decisions and have reasons of their own and be able to take wise advise.

Steve,

This was a great article. I plan to print it off and keep it for our boys. You made some great points and I think many parents don’t really think about all the things you mentioned. Thank you for sharing this.

Comment on Facebook Etiquette For Christians by Neal Pollard

Excellent! Steve, as usual, you have such a commonsensical approach to something very commonly committed and observed. You have helped me strive to be more circumspect as a Facebook user.

Thank you so much for this post. My husband is a minister, and we homeschool. No one in our congregation thinks prom is a bad thing, I am so shocked and saddened. I am glad we are not alone-even though it wouldn’t matter if we were.

Steve, thanks for the thoughts which need to be shared with parents and young people alike. To forewarn about such matters will develop wisdom in facing them.

Well said/written. I’d like Christian parents to give their own parties at home, well supervised, and participants properly educated as to behavior before hand. Without the pressures of an immoral society on them they will have a wonderful time to remember. The television has become a very bad influence and in particular the dance competition shows, which should be labeled for adult viewing only, and the music videos which the young people like so much should also be properly rated for content. I wrote Land’s End about the lack of decent bathing suits particularly for the fuller figures and older generations. Our bodies are not for public display and amusement never mind embarrassment. The new law from FCC goes into effect
soon about maintaining the audio ads at the maximum loudness/decibels of the programs being viewed. They want people to report offenders so they can be fined. thank you. God Bless you and yours.
