The Internet: Good or evil? Heaven-bound or hell-sent?

The internet is an interesting tool. You can find almost anything you want on the internet, from daily Bible devotions to the most wretched of pornography. It is a source of great good, and sometimes a source of even greater evil. The current generation of youth and children are exposed to the internet in great amounts. Do you, as their parents and loved ones, know exactly what is going on when your child logs on to the computer? From MySpace to Facebook to message boards, your child is interacting with a superior technology, and is able to be in contact with thousands and thousands of people. They can find information on how to commit suicide, how to poison someone, and people who are willing to sexually exploit them. They can also find information on how to read their Bible better, what church camps are worth going to, and meet other like-minded believers. It is with this in mind that I encourage you to attend this workshop. I will take you through different sites that your children like to frequent, and show you some of the pitfalls of the Web, along with some of the bright spots. We will meet on Saturday, May 5th at 9.00 am, and we will be done by lunch time. Please put this date on your calendar and plan to attend – and don’t assume your child is immune to the bad side of the Internet. The average age a child is exposed to internet pornography is 11, and by the time they are 17, there is an 80% chance they have had multiple experiences with pornography. If that isn’t scary enough, 90% of 8-16 year olds have viewed pornography. Plan on joining us as we equip you with weapons to defend the soul of your child.
