  11. Understanding What The Prom Is

  12. High school senior prom is a very immoral ceremony where boys seduce girls into having premarital sex. They will ply your daughter with alcohol and then do grinding dances to devils music, …. http://christwire.org/2009/04/dirty-prom-dress-reveals-satans-plan-to-get-your-daughter-pregnant/

  13. Prom is a big night in itself and it should not be the reason you choose to have sex. If the idea that everyone else is doing it that night repeats over and over in your head, remember there are never as many people doing something as you believe there are. In high school, there are less than one-half of students having sex (teenpreg). If you are emotionally, mentally, and physically ready to have sex and prom night happens to be the night, there are no ontraceptives that are one hundred percent effective against pregnancy. Each year, eight hundred-twenty thousand teenage girls get pregnant (teenpreg).

  14. The combination of an abundance of alcohol with young people celebrating the end of a school year, or even the end of high school, can lead to many problems. While many of these seniors and other teenagers expect to have rules-free, fun-filled celebrations with their friends, they may very well engage in risky behaviors, such as: • Underage drinking • Drug use • Promiscuity and unprotected sex • Impaired driving. • Besides the risky behaviors listed above, teenagers may encounter other problems that are sometimes beyond their control. For instance,without adult guidance, teenagers may be at an increased risk for becoming victims of crimes such as theft, violence, injury, and rape. http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/seasonal/promandbeachweek/

  15. What Sins Are Involved With The Prom

  16. Problems Arise!!! • Principals said they have avoided the drastic action officials in Oxford, Ala., took this spring when they disciplined 25 students for violating the dress code at prom. • One Omaha Catholic school principal, however, once sent a girl home to change. • Every spring, high school girls and their families embark on a quest to satisfy what can be competing interests: a daughter's yearning for beauty and style and adults' demand for modesty.

  17. Problems Arise • At Skutt Catholic High School, Principal Patrick Slattery sends a letter advising parents that students not properly dressed for prom could be denied entry. • “Parents, he wrote, should assist their daughters in choosing “a modest prom dress, i.e. no plunging necklines, no bare midriff, no strapless gowns which are difficult to keep on, etc. Most current fashions do not incorporate these guidelines. It may take a little extra time and effort to find just the right dress.”

  24. The Songs of Dancing • #1 Song – All The Single Ladies - Beyonce • Cuz another brother noticed me…I’m up on him, he up on me….I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips, got me tighter than my Dereonjeans..Acting up, drink in my cup…I could care less what you think I need no permission, did I mention….He’s a man that makes me then takes me and delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond.

  29. The Moves of Dancing • You no longer have the “innocent” hand to hand dancing. • You no longer have the “innocent” hand in hand, hip to hip dancing. • You have bumping and grinding • You have dances that are the “vertical actions of a horizontal desire”.

  30. God’s Law Concerning Dancing • 1 Thess 5:22 • Galatians 5:19-21

  31. Lewdness / Lasciviousness • Means absence of restraint, Indecent bodily movements, wantonness. • Great Example: • Mt 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. • Notice the end result of doing this: • “…that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

  38. God’s Law Concerning Stumbling Blocks • Mt 18:6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

  39. 6) Lust

  40. God’s Law Concerning Lust • James 1:13-15 ¶ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

  41. God’s Law Concerning Lust • Mt 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. • 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. • Eph 2:1-3 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

  45. It is Sinful because of what it leads to!

  46. How can we stop this?

  47. Parents!!! • If you let your child go, you are sinning in so doing!!! • Ephesians 6:4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. • Ephesians 5:6-10 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. • 1Ti 5:22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure. • Learn from the example of Eli – 1 Samuel 2:12-25 • DON’T BE PERMISSIVE! BE A PARENT!!!

  48. Parents!!! • What if you have already spent the money to go? • 2 Chron. 25:9 Then Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?" And the man of God answered, "The LORD is able to give you much more than this."

  49. Children!!! • When your parents say “No!”, don’t give them grief, but obey them!!! • Ephesians 6:1-3 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: 3 "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
