This weekend at church the message was about pushing back the darkness in the world, and our responsibility as Christians to hate evil and fight it with everything we have, with love for those who are evil's prisoners.
The message focused on the slave trade of children in countries where they are held, and sometimes offerred even by their own parents to those who would use them in horrendous, perverted and disgusting ways. Innocent children, being sold for money to those who have no conscience, mostly American men who go there to prey on innocent children.
For years I have seen the slide downward in our own country, due to the proliferation of porn and the turning away from modesty, and common decency. As Christians we must work to rid our own communities here in this Nation of the filth that fuels the apetite for indecent acts against innocents, and speak out against this evil in our own communities.
We must speak out agaisnt countries who allow traficking of children. In this evil world we must continue to push back against the darkness. And it must include our own back yard.
