The 2009 NCPCF Smart Teens Essay Contest -- Winning Essay  

May 28, 2009
by National Coalition - St. Louis office
 

The 2009 National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families (NCPCF), Smart Teens Essay Contest was designed to encourage Christian-based, wise moral judgment regarding sexuality among teens.  This year’s theme was Why ‘Sexting’ Is The Wrong Choice.  We wanted students to consider faith, moral, and practical issues, both in the present and in the future, regarding the use of cell phones and web cams for sending sexual pictures of themselves.  All entries specifically addressed this theme from a Christian perspective. This contest was open to 11th and 12th grade high school students in good standing, currently attending Christian schools located in St. Louis City or County, Missouri and St. Charles City or County. Our winner is Christiana Zipay, a junior at Lutheran High School South, with an essay entitled, "What's Wrong With Sexting?"

Children are real victims  

July 30, 2008
by John P. Splinter, Ph.D
 

 Children – not users – are the real victims of child porn

Regarding Bill McClellan’s column “Better to cut off child porn at the source” (April 27):  The issue of child pornography is not something for which one should feel pity for offenders.  The victims are not the guys who get caught; the real victims are the children who are photographed and sexually used.  Their lives never will be the same.  This abuse will affect the child’s self-esteem and relational abilities.  If it were your 5-year-old daughter being stripped and photographed, would you think a five-year prison sentence was enough?  This isn’t a petty social crime; it’s the ravaging of a life.  What’s that worth in terms of prison time?

 

 
An Essay on Love

An Essay On Love
By John P. Splinter, Ph.D.

One of the great scenes in the play, “Fiddler On The Roof,” finds the main character, Tevye, asking his wife Golda, “Do you love me?”  She responds, “Do I love you?  For twenty-five years I've washed your clothes, cooked your meals, cleaned your house, given you children, milked the cow.  Tevye responds, “Yes, but do you love me?”  That question speaks to what may be the deepest hunger of the human soul ~ to love and be loved.  In psychology we call it “being attached,” or “attachment.”

Social scientists tell us that our culture is undergoing significant changes at its core.  They say we are now living in the “Post-Christian era.”  They tell us the “traditional family” in which mother stays home with the kids, and dad provides the earned income, is rapidly fading in the rear view mirror.  Some estimate that only 4% of today’s marriages fit with the “traditional” model of our parents’ and grandparents’ day. 

One of the greatest changes of all is that the philosophy of Post Modernism has begun to redefine much of our culture’s value system.  Things that used to be considered “truth” and “sacrosanct,” today are considered personal opinion.  A philosophy of “do whatever works for you” has become dominant, replacing the previous generation’s philosophy of “do what is right.”  And this is where the “rub” begins, because doing what seems right for each person can only lead to the conclusion of chaos and abuse of power. 

These modern trends have created a lot of questions in regard to the definition and meaning of love.  In the next few paragraphs we’ll look at a few questions regarding love, because they will set the stage for the answers provided later in this paper.
