questions for thought & discussion

  1. Have the lowering of standards regarding sexual practice resulted in lowering the crime rate in our society? 
  2. How does asserting that homosexuality and heterosexual addictions are really genetic, play into the pagan view of crime? 
  3. Homosexual activists are pushing for lowering the age of consent from 18 to 16. Why would they be doing this in light of this discussion? 
  4. How does “sex education” at an early age in schools, reflect the mentality of the humanistic thought discussed in this section? 
  5. How has the church in our day customarily responded to the increased sexualizing of children? 
  6. When is the best time to teach children “the facts of life?”

application

​One of the surest ways to identify whether you understand a subject is to write a point of view paper (sometimes referred to as a position paper).  This exercise helps to unearth areas of confusion, uncertainty, and/or disagreement, many times revealing that a number of unanswered questions remain. Once completed, you may submit your paper for comments.
 
After formulating your position(s) on the subjects covered in each lesson, a good next step is to engage in conversation (with your spouse, children, parents, friends, or co-workers) to better hone your skill in communicating the concepts you have learned and are assimilating into your own thinking.  Do not be concerned about “messing up” or doing it the “wrong way” as you will do plenty of both!  As with anything worth doing, practice will refine this skill, which is vital in order to fulfill the Great Commission.  If you find you need some one-on-one interaction, you may submit a question or request an appointment.
