The first place to start is training our children in biblical worldview thinking. Statistics show that many Christian kids lose their faith in college. (Not surprising, if you look at Barna's poll and see that only 9 percent of evangelical teens believe in moral truth.) In college, they are assaulted by secular relativism, and if we don't prepare them, they will be like lambs led to slaughter.  

 

Among the things we need to teach them, as well, is the meaning of sexuality and marriage. Many were raised by single parents in a culture that denies the moral significance of sex. A friend who teaches at a secular university says that when he brings up the Christian teaching that sex should take place exclusively within marriage, his students are incredulous. Who ever heard of such a thing? they ask. They find equally bizarre the idea that marriage should be permanent. So when these kids marry, even with the best of intentions, they are likely to fail. They haven't been instructed.  

 

We must also teach our children the value of all human life, including that of the handicapped, the unborn, and the elderly. When they absorb society's utilitarian clamoring that we should justify moral horrors in the interest of doing the greatest good for the greatest number, we ought to point out to them people like Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic who eloquently speaks out against cloning and embryonic stem-cell research.  

 

When our youth are influenced by the "fairness" argument for gay "marriage," help them understand that matrimonial law is not based on "feelings" or "fairness," but on moral and natural law judgments that marriage is inherently heterosexual, monogamous, fruitful, and permanent.
