6.3.18-About Sexual Abuse and Cover Up in the "Church"

About Sexual Abuse and the Cover Up in the “Church”
There is a feeling of mourning in my heart this morning.  It is for all the children and women and men who have been sexually abused.
I am especially grieved if this happened in a family setting or a church setting.
I am outraged if this happened and the congregation or denomination, Catholic or Southern Baptist, or any other “Christian” group tried to cover it up instead of expose it to the light of truth.
I pray that God will heal, comfort and strengthen them to push toward justice.
I hope and pray the perpetrators will be exposed, ashamed and repent to push for judgment and justice.
May God have mercy on those who sincerely confess and repent and zealously get busy doing the right thing before God and man.
God has judgment in death for those who did these things and do not repent, tell the truth and pay the debt they owe.
The so called “Church Leaders” who break God’s commands to protect the abused and who keep teaching this way will be dealt with by the true Christians and/or the law courts and/or God Himself in death and judgment.
Reconciliation with a person who sexually abused a person is not to be done in a secret meeting with one so called, “church leader.”  It is to be done with proper legal authorities whom God has appointed.  With proper evidence collected rather than hidden by a so called “church leader”.
To properly love all people including enemies is to stand and tell the truth and be protected while doing so in order that others may be protected.
Yes, forgiveness is our calling, but not without standing up for the truth and protecting others.
Yes, God is the ultimate judge.
We are not to forget that God has appointed the authorities.  The police.  The sheriff.  The attorney. The Judge.   These are appointed to carry out justice rather than vigilante justice or the perpetrator’s suicide.
We must encourage the sexually abused to go to the authorities and stand with them and help pay the money for the stand for justice with our own money and time.  This is what it means to stand for justice and righteousness.
We should mourn and be alarmed at the destruction of the good name of the true church which has been teaching Jesus truth for 2,000 years.  We must change and move to honesty and strength.
We should call out the false, weak, cover up lying men who are destroying the good will of people who truly are seeking help from God’s true people.
We must alert men and women and children to not accept sexual abuse and rape as acceptable and to be covered up by so called “church leaders”. 
We must watch out for false prophets and fake priests and phony preachers, seminary professors and arrogant bishops, cardinals and popes.
You will know a tree by its fruits.
Not all people who claim to be sheep who are following Jesus.   Some are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  Some wear three-piece suits and robes and funny hats who should be wearing sackcloth and ashes.

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
