Although we’ve heard a lot these days about government stimulus packages, what America needs most is a MORAL stimulus package!  Now that the federal government has eliminated all funding for abstinence until marriage programs while increasing funding for contraceptive education in our schools, teenagers will be bombarded with the “here’s how to do it safely” message coming from the fallacy of “they’re going to do it anyway.”

Couple this with peer pressure, TV, music, movies, advertising, internet, and everything else our kids face in this sex saturated culture; we are sure to see teen pregnancies, STDs, and emotional heartbreaks skyrocket.  It happened throughout the 1980s when comprehensive sex education reigned paramount.  It will happen again.

But there are a few ways this inevitable trend can be reversed this time.

1) The church must take the lead in teaching purity to teens and equipping parents to do the same at home.  Pastors and youth pastors need to be trained in the “directive” approach to teaching purity.  Innovative programs utilizing video resources (teens are visually oriented) need to be used in youth group meetings.  Parent conferences need to be provided to give parents the confidence they need to increase the dialog and set the standard at home.  And community wide True Love Waits rallies need to be organized to reach teens and parents throughout the community.  For more information how to accomplish this, click here.

2) Pregnancy Resource Centers must now carry the torch and be the leaders in abstinence education in their communities.  This can begin by featuring the message of purity and prevention at an annual fundraising banquet.  In doing so, they will be encouraging the church (their donor base) to become more proactive in their own ministry while raising record funds for their center.  The day after the banquet, a breakfast or lunch training needs to be provided for area pastors and youth pastors.  That evening, a community wide youth rally can be sponsored at a local church with others invited.  Promoting these events gives the PRC the opportunity to grow their donor base as well.  That’s a double win for Pregnancy Centers!  For information how to accomplish this, click here.

3) Christian and Parochial Schools must become more aggressive in teaching abstinence education programs.  Once sexual abstinence until marriage makes sense to teens, then their hearts are more receptive to the Biblical application.  The purity message needs to be featured during a “Spiritual Emphasis Week,” while providing an evening parent conference as well.  Chapels and assemblies need to reinforce the purity message on a consistent basis.  For more information how to accomplish this, click here.

Yes, America desperately needs a MORAL stimulus package.  This package includes the virtues of respect, responsibility, maturity, discipline, and Godly character!  You can “pass” this package and implement it today.  Please call us now for more information at (919) 562-4080!
