Extramarital Affairs, Like Sanford’s, Morally Taboo
- GALLUP
There is also a slight difference between men's views and women's views on extramarital affairs; 8% of men say they are acceptable, compared to 3% of women. And despite the conventional wisdom that young Americans may be more morally libertine than those who are older, 18- to 29-year-olds in the Gallup survey are little different in their views on the moral acceptability of extramarital affairs than are those 30 years of age and up.

Teen found alive in wrecked car 8 days after crash - Associated Press

The initial search was slowed because there had been underage drinking at the party, and the young people who attended would not say where it had been held, sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.

• Let's talk about friends first. What's the first thing that comes to mind about friendship when you read about the other kids at the party? What was more valuable to them - not getting caught, or someone's life? How do these verses in Scripture, written thousands of years ago pertain to today?
  Psalm 15:4; 41:9; Proverbs 12:26; 27:6, 10; John 15:13; James 4:4
  
  

• How do you think this situation fits in with Ephesians 5:18? You can see in this one article both sides of this verse. On the one side you have someone who was most likely controlled by alcohol. How did it affect her decision making ability? What effect did it have on her driving ability? What about her relationships (friends and family)?
  
  
• On the other side of this situation you have someone who was controlled by the Spirit. This lady had such a close relationship with God that at the slightest whisper of direction she was moving and obeying - even to the point of stopping her car right where the accident happened. The police could not find this location for days! What do you think could have been different in this situation if the teenage girl were to have been controlled by the Sprit? Do you know of anyone who is so close in their relationship to God that it seems like they have a secret walkie-talkie to communicate with Him? What are some other things we allow to control us (things that make you mad, people, objects that aren't even alive like the TV remote or computers that freeze up...)? What would be different in your life if you allowed the Spirit to have more control(Galatians 5:16-26)? What steps do you need to take to get there?
  
  
• What about grace? Where do you see God's grace in all of this? Romans 5:20-21; 3:24; 1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 2:8-9

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?

What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
