Lighthouse Presents
In this modern world it's easy for children to become
morally and ethically confused.
We live in a time of liberal standards, TV, radio,
even top ranking government officials have played part in making
this a very conflicted society. Strong Christian morals
that this country was built on are often overshadowed by the glitz
and glam or projected by our nation's superstars, heroes and role
models falling short of those same traditional standards.
Some children are already confused with the changing
family roles , and high fashion child stars scantily dressed to
the apparent approval of all of America. All of this can add to
the confusion and send the wrong message. In this day and age
the wrong message can be dangerous, even self destructive to naive
children that are trusting in the common good of society around
them.
We believe that positive moral and ethical standards
have to be exhibited and lived out around the children and in
clear sight of them. Sometimes it helps to actively seek out appropriate
role models for them to see. That is the effort of J. C.'s Lighthouse
Presents. We will attain regular discussion forums and presentations
from strong personalities of our community at large that compromise
nothing to become the best they can be in their chosen area of
endeavor. We encourage speakers to reflect not only on their decisions
to be ethically sound in their daily work and personal lives but
to, if possible, acknowledge a time in life when God himself interacted
to save them. Or maybe a time they can remember having endured
the same or similar dark times as those suffered by our students,
most of which are from abuse/neglect backgrounds, thereby conveying
the added message that things do get better for us all eventually.
The children are encouraged, taught and their horizons are expanded
as they become more aware of jobs and positions all around them
as they meet the truly good people that do them.
