But praise the Father, some of our friends are doing incredible work in those areas, with those girls.<br /><br />But I found that in HK prostitution, pornography, and the gap between the rich and poor is grotesquely obvious.

I'm not suggesting the explicit sex trade is inside the church, but the accommodation, the acceptance of sexuality as a means and measure of value seems normal. Women, godly women, who wear plunging necklines. Men peruse pornography. Living together. Hooking up. Christian magazines, advertisements only with "beautiful" women.<br /><br />If Jesus is to be believed, then the lust rampant inside the church is equal to the sex trade outside.<br /><br />Where are the voices in our churches addressing these things? Not legalism, not prudishness, but genuine mourning and agony over this?Dennis Hesselbarthnoreply@blogger.com
