My daughter, before she goes to, she literally says, "'Dad, can I go to Google to check on such and such for my report project?'" And to some that might sound extreme, but I'm going, what was that again? What are we looking for? And okay, yeah, do that and then we're done.

Get that printed out or whatever and then we're done with it. Because it can literally, everyone who's used the internet knows how you can go to the internet for one thing. Oh, that looks interesting and you click on that and oh, that looks interesting and before you know it you know two hours later you're way down the road that you had no idea was there and regret that you've gone down that road.

What are some things parents must consider in regards to letting their children access the Internet?

Carlton McLeod explains in this video that children need accountability when they use the Internet. In fact, everyone needs accountability.

James 4:17 (NKJV) - "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin."

Speaker

Dr. Carlton McLeod is the pastor at Calvary Reformation Church. Dr. McLeod earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Science from Hampton University and a Master of Theology and Doctor of Ministry from Andersonville Theological Seminary. He and his wife Donna have been married since 1992 and they have two daughters, Dori and Aryanna, and one son, Jonathan. Dr. McLeod is relentless in his pursuit to compassionately teach with a biblical worldview. After spending his early years in ministry attempting to pull young people out of the kingdom of darkness with all the world’s methods, the Lord led Dr. McLeod back to the Bible to see the critical need for constant, fervent, and Spirit-led biblical family discipleship. The D6Reformation.org was created out of this desire. His other passions in ministry include discipleship, debt-free living, the covenant of marriage, the supremacy of Scripture, servant leadership with accountability, integrity, and obedience to God, family integration, biblical manhood/biblical womanhood, and missions.
