Internet Safety Online Integrity

With so many inappropriate websites and Internet temptations, what we do online impacts our lives offline.

Did you know?

  • In a survey of college students, more than 80% of men and more than 50% of women said they had been exposed to pornography by age 14.
  • 47% percent of family members with the Internet say they often feel ignored because another member of the household spends too much time online

For many years Iron Sharpens Iron has recommended Covenant Eyes

Iron Sharpens Iron and Covenant Eyes have a long-standing partnership. The Iron Sharpens Iron Conference Network mobilizes regional ministries to provide one-day conferences specifically designed for men (ages 13 and older). Covenant Eyes provides Internet Accountability and Filtering Services that allow an individual to have conversations with a friend or mentor about Internet use and online temptations. This accountability strengthens people in their integrity and relationships.

Internet Accountability

More than a decade ago, Covenant Eyes founder Ron DeHaas faced the same questions many people face today.

  • “How can I teach my children to use the Internet with integrity?”
  • “How do I guard my own heart and remain pure online?”
  • “How do I serve as an example to my family and church?”

Today, the answer for tens of thousands of Covenant Eyes members is to be open and honest with a friend or mentor about what they do online.

Covenant Eyes Internet Accountability is not a filter: it doesn’t block websites. Instead, it monitors all the sites you visit and sends a report to a person that you choose. In effect, your friend (or parent) is sitting beside you each time you go online, encouraging you to make good choices. Covenant Eyes Accountability, and the relationship it brings, helps change hearts.

Internet Filtering

You already know the basics, like keeping your family’s computer in an open area, but that’s not enough to protect your children’s eyes. Covenant Eyes can help you fine-tune your approach to protecting your kids online.

Here’s how the Covenant Eyes Filter for Windows can help. (Not available for Mac.)

  • Don’t just block mature content, but also set different levels of blocking based on ages or need.
  • Create your own list of blocked or allowed websites.
  • Decide when and how long every Filter user is online – great for kids.

Download Covenant Eyes to all your home’s computers at no additional charge.
Choose Accountability or Filtering, or use both services together.
