I found a video tonight as I was browsing. I have to say I was very touched, and at the end tears were coming down my cheeks as I listened to this pastor preach to his church. He spoke of sexual abuse of children, and domestic violence within the church. He spoke of how scripture is used to keep people within homes where violence is taking place. He spoke of the damaging effects of emotional abuse, and he spoke of how the world (attitudes at times) pretty much sets us the abuse that happens. He spoke of how Jesus would not wish others to stay in danger. He mentioned stories of how the cycle continues. You could hear the spirit and attitude in his voice, and you could HEAR the urgency! How its the most unreported crime, and yet the stats are awful as they are. Its about 20 minutes long, and towards the beginning his mic goes out! LOL Its about 10 seconds, and you see a lady RUN up and hand him a replacement! So its NOT your computer! Just wanted to warn you.
How people's lifes would change if they approach this issue like this pastor does!

If only every church had a minister who would be so bold as to preach such an amazingly powerful message, perhaps the abused would find the strength to stand up together and shout NO!
I cried, thank you for sharing this.
