One of the most infamous incidents of sexual assault in the Bible is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah found in Genesis 18—19. The men of these cities were so wicked that they attempted to rape the two angels who, in human form, were visiting Lot. The men of Sodom were ready to beat Lot’s door down in order to assault his guests. Lot and his family only escaped because the angels blinded the mob and whisked Lot’s family to safety. Because of the sexual perversion of Sodom and the surrounding cities, God utterly destroyed them.
Sexual assault and all forms of sexual perversion are indicators of the wickedness of the human heart (see Jeremiah 17:9).
DOTHAN — A former children’s pastor in Alabama is facing charges that he sexually abused young boys while working at a church.
News media reports that 39-year-old William Wesley Williamson has been indicted on four counts of sex abuse. Authorities say the charges involve acts that happened while Williamson was working at Mount Gilead Baptist Church near Dothan.
Court records show Williamson is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges in November. An attorney representing the man didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment.
The church placed Williamson on leave after receiving reports of possible misconduct and fired him in March when he was first arrested.
Sheriff’s officials in Houston County say the man inappropriately touched boys during church functions by brushing against their private parts while they were clothed.
Both times, the victims were at church. Williamson has been put behind bars twice for these incidents.
The defense will present their arguments Wednesday morning. Source
“But if in the field the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her shall die. 26“But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this case. 27“When he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her,” (Deut. 22:25-27).

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.
