Sexual abuse perpetrated against a child is a deplorable reality of living in a sin-stricken world. The psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical damage of the abuse remain long after molestation has ended. The Bible speaks vehemently against hurting children and against sexual sins and perversions of all kinds. It also offers hope for healing and forgiveness.
Why does child sexual abuse happen?
The short answer to “why” abuse happens is that we live in a world marred by sin. Often, those who molest children have themselves been molested. They may have been hurt in some other way as well and choose to victimize children in an attempt to regain a sense of power or worthiness. Many times, sexual abuse is a misguided attempt to find intimacy. Whatever the emotional, familial, or psychological history of the molester, sexual abuse is evil.
A TODDLER died after allegedly being raped and battered by her stepdad as the child’s teenage mum watched.
Police claim Crystal Brooks witnessed Gregory Parker abuse her daughter Janiyah Armanie, three, at their home in Atlanta, Georgia.
Parker, 20, has been charged with aggravated child molestation, rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated battery, battery, and first-degree cruelty to children.
Brooks, 19, is accused of being party to first-degree cruelty to children, aggravated battery, battery and providing a false statement.
Cops said “heinous” child abuse had been committed against Janiyah.
A police press release said: “The child had injuries to her vaginal area, ribs, along with swollen hands and unknown trauma to her head.
“She appeared to have old wounds as well.”
‘GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN’
Police also shared a heartbreaking picture of a smiling Janiyah that was taken just before her death – along with the caption: “Three-year-old Janiyah Armanie Brooks, gone but not forgotten.”
Albany Georgia Police Department was called to the child’s home at 7.30pm on May 13.
Parker allegedly told officers that his stepdaughter was unresponsive.
Janiyah was rushed to hospital, where she stayed on a ventilator for almost a week before she passed away. Source

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.
Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.
Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it’s also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.
Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
Evil Exists So Spiritual Warfare Becomes Necessary!

Evil men don’t understand the importance of justice, but those who follow the Lord are much concerned about it. ~ Proverbs 28:5
Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that’s sacred….
