We must warn those we love. Challenges and temptations are coming to our teenagers at the speed of a freight train. Alma counseled his children 9 Now my son, I would that ye should repent and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. Oh, remember, and take it upon you, and cross yourself in these things. We must not fear that we are offending our children when we counsel them. We must listen to the Spirit and tell them what we feel about their activities. If either parent does not feel good about something, then they should accept the feelings of each other and not allow the activity.
Satan works hard to keep your children from qualifying for the temple and missions, and lead them into misery. We must work hard to help them overcome temptation. Listen to the warning voice. Satan wants to bring them down. Parents must work hard to bring them up.
Family prayer, family scripture study, family home evening, family dinner, family interviews. Counseling requires courage. The Lord blesses and sustains courageous parents.
