INTRODUCTION:
Webster’s Dictionary defined perversion as ‘a diverting from the true intent or purpose, a change to something worse, a turning or applying to a wrong end of use’. In the Bible, the word translated ‘perversion’ is used to define a deviation from righteousness in sexual behavior. One of the satanic agenda of our time is to catch them young. It is obscene watching various videos shared on social media about children being molested by pedophiles. The victims here are children, innocent young ones. Therefore it is the sole responsibility of parents to watch out for things and people that may want to steal their children innocence from them and leave them with scars

DISCUSSION GUIDE:
1. In your own words, what do you understand by ‘Sexual Perversion’
2. What does the Bible say about Sexual Perversion? Lev. 18:22; 20:13; 1 Cor. 6:9
3. What are the roles of parents in protecting their wards? Prov. 22:6
4. What could be the danger of parental negligence? 2 Samuel 13:20, 28-29

CONCLUSION:
God created sexuality and called it good (Gen. 1:27-28) but Satan twisted it. Any sexual activity outside marriage union of one woman and one man is a perversion and condemned by God (1 Cor. 6:18). Parents have a great deal of responsibility to stop the virus- sexual perversion- among children before it goes out of control. The following steps could help protect our children and reduce the spread of this epidemic trend in the society: (1) Avoid delegating the affairs of your children to other people (2) Be friendly to your children (3) Raise your children in the atmosphere of true love (4) Educate your children as soon as possible (5)Same sex in same room (6) Avoid having them sit on people’s laps (7) Avoid leaving them unguided and finally (8) Screen what they watch (on Television, Handsets (androids) and Computer) .
