They’re Coming After Your Children

by Matthew W. Bassford In 2010 and 2011, I became the father of two extremely inquisitive children. In 2019, I also became the owner of a firearm. Naturally, I gave some thought to how these two areas of my life should interact. Should I keep my gun locked away from my kids and forbid them…
Read MoreThank you for explaining why coed sleepovers are a bad idea
Question: Thank you for the coed slumber party article. My son said that if I could give him biblical reasons, he wouldn’t go to a coed campout with him and two girls in the forest. In this current age, these kids innocently think they don’t see a difference between girls and boys and don’t understand…
Read MoreYour class on Song of Solomon was one of the most awkward and painful classes I attended, and I really appreciate it years later
Question: Your work constantly impresses me. As a foster parent, I have discovered that there is a large group of brethren that dislike the nitty-gritty situations that come with helping people who are still of the world.

Question: Hello, I’m a father of three boys. First off, I’ll let you know some information about me. When I was a boy and an adolescent, my father never told me things about puberty, sex, or girls. He talked a little but never told me what they were or what to expect. He never showed…

by Mark Roberts “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body” (I Corinthians 6:18).

Question: Hello, I am a member of a church of Christ. I had a question, and as I typed it up on Google I saw a link to your website. I want say, “Thank you!” for being such a great help. What y’all are doing is really great work for the Lord in helping young…
Read MoreCan someone there talk to my son?
Question: I am a single mom with a 14-year-old son who is starting to become curious about sex. I caught him masturbating, which was awkward for both of us, to say the least. I decided this was a perfect opportunity to have “the talk” with him, but he doesn’t want to talk with mom about…
Read MoreCan sexual instructional videos be viewed to learn better techniques in a marriage?
Question: Is it possible to view sexual instructional videos with the true intent of learning techniques to increase intimacy with one’s wife, without falling prey to lust? I know that many men fall into addiction to this type of content, but if the intent is positive, can this be done? Answer: First, we must establish…
Read MoreDo you think this web site’s discussion of sex and the Bible to be accurate?
Question: I’d like you to check out this web site and advise me if you feel it is a “false prophet” kind of deal or if it indeed biblically founded. Check it out! It’s pretty interesting. Answer: It is nonsense of the worse sort. It is so ridiculous that I’m not certain the person is serious. Just…
Read MoreI was impressed, at first, by your openness to address sexual issues, until I saw some of your answers
Question: When I first visited your web site, I was surprised to see it was hosted by a church, as I was led there by a link of the Tanner stages. It was a pleasant surprise, and honestly, I let my guard down to my presumptions. But then I looked at questions submitted by teens.…
Read MoreIs it normal for a young child to connect their private parts to the idea of sex?
Question: Can you please tell me if children normally connect their private parts to the idea of sex or the reproductive parts of the opposite sex? I’m asking because I did so since around 7. Is it normal? Answer: A child, prior to puberty, has no built-in concept of what is sex. He will not…

Question: I do have a question concerning a young man (about 17) who is heading down the wrong path. He is my friend’s brother-in-law who always gets in trouble legally. He does various things, such as smoking, and stealing, and has been sexually involved with a 14-year-old girl recently. This is the second or third…
Read MoreYou’re too harsh on public schools
Question: Not all schools are bad. I work for a middle school in South Carolina teaching special education. I know that our school district promotes abstaining until marriage, and it is taught in the classroom. I would say that 75% or more of our faculty and staff are Christians. Instead of condemning public education, you…
