Confronting a Culture of Fear & Darkness

Confronting a Culture of Fear & Darkness

Humankind has sought, and will always seek, to use fear and darkness to its advantage. This is because fear and darkness pervade every heart. Certain souls seek to escape its grasp, then turn their energies toward helping others acquire freedom. Others revel in it, while some go further, wielding it to obtain positions of power and success, and to create structures in society reflective of the evil which lies in their heart. This latter element of humankind is willing to accomplish its desired ends at the expense of others.

Parents, Children, and Needed Conversations About Pornography

Parents, Children, and Needed Conversations About Pornography

Parents, have you recently asked, "What can I do to protect my child from being exposed to pornography?" If so, we're of the same mind. As a father of two young boys, and Marriage & Family Therapist, I am also concerned knowing this substance has become a prevalent part of our world that can be easily accessed through many different avenues. I speak from experience, having been first exposed to porn when I was a child and having seen its effects on my life and on my marriage. The fact is that our children are extremely vulnerable, not simply to being exposed to pornography, but to the real potential of developing an addiction to it through continued usage over time.
