Dear friends,
I would appreciate your prayers (and advice) for a situation that relates to my oldest son, who is 9 years old. He recently told me that a friend of his from school had been circulating magazines. He said that the magazines had pictures of 'girls in bikinis' in them. My son says that he didn't participate in looking at the magazines, however during the same conversation he mentioned about 'something bad he did in the past'. I've asked him a few times about what this was, but he hasn't been willing to elaborate. I don't know if it's connected to what his friends were doing.
Anyways, as a dad, sometimes I'm not sure how far to push in matters like this. Ideally, I want to be able to have the kind of relationship with my son where he's willing to share about things like this. I know that he may be feeling guilty and I'm encouraging him that no matter what's taken place, God will be willing to forgive him and that I love him.
I'd say that my son and I share a very good relationship. Could you please pray for me for wisdom, to know how best to deal with this situation ?
Thanks. In Jesus, John

Brother, I faced a similar situation with my 8 year old son. I simply explained Gods heart in the matter and the Devils desire to destroy using what God has said is good ( in the right context). I will pray for you and your son.
Bless you John Alan

I will be praying for him. There is a website for homeschoolers. It has a book on how to see sin and piont them to Gods word. I think it is good for many things you could check out the differnt books, they seem helpful. it is talked doorposts. But the word is also a great place. I also just a Pastor, talking how going through prov with their boys. Have all thought of homeschooling? There are some amazing things out there to help. I would encourage to listen to this pastor on this well kinda. * I will have to get on links to that)Paul washer talk on raising boys too. ALso the writer of I kissed dating good by, I think has some good things to teach young boys.
I don't think that answer your question, helpful things I have found that has help me, with boys I watch sometimes. May you press into God and seek his and pray for you son with great depth being guided by the spirit. May God give you wisdom, to know how to raise this young boy to know and have passion and love for God. Therefore I pray that God you will move and help this brother and sister to have your wisdom, father I ask that you be with this boy to understand and fear you and your word. father help him to be wise in his friends. Help to share and love to be speak about you. Grow this young boy in a man of god, who prays knows your truth and is cross centered in everything, as well help this boy to grow in true biblical man hood. Amen
JAME 1 If lack wisdom ASK.... Pray seek read the word, Lord knows we need more god fearing men, may we pray even more for the young boys that love not video games but God prayer and the lost Amen In Christ Charlene
