Dear Stephen,
A mother (A) who's daughter was attacked by a paedophile ring (B) was asked by other parents in the
town (C) how she could be so calm an collect about it all. Why didn't she want to be at the court,
why didn't she want to join in their public ranting and raving, their indignation and so forth.
Sadly, the mother knew that the paedophile's life, mind and very existence was fed by 'their'
community, and if she joined in with their condemnation of this man, she was in fact joining in with
the hate of what they were to themselves for allowing things in their town to sink so low. As they
were her neighbours, whom she loved, all that he was and allowed to be whilst they lived in the
town, the mother forgave them for.
They (C) feared for themselves, their own children's involvement, and their own inability to cope
with what had happened because they had allowed the devil to reside amongst them.
You see 'A' and her child coped because they were guided by God and their church, B ended up in
prison and by now has probably moved into some other poor child's life (the devil once he's freed
never stops his work in some people) and 'C', well, they thrive in misery, excitement, denial,
dancing with the devil's trickery, even to the point of putting their own children in to his
vicinity rather than facing their own wickedness by not allowing their children to grow up to know
God's ways.
We all face God one day and those who allow the devil to reside with them, and recognise his evil
enough to warrant public condemnation, and yet not act to save their children, will face the terror
of their ways at their end. With this knowledge parents do not have a minute to waste in saving
their children, because the Lord comes like a thief in the night, and then it is the end. This could
be your next minute to face The Lord, or it could be your next minute to save your children into
their faith.
I think if I were you I'd look to see if you've got another letter in your equation and take an
objective look at what he's up to. Division amongst people is the devil's greatest tool, it
works a treat.
"as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to
understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the
rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also
fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace
and knowledge of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. "
NKJ 2Peter 3:18

No, that is between a perpetrator and Jesus, if He is truly their Saviour.
However, accepting Jesus into 'your' life frees you to know that you are forgiven and can
forgive others too. You can trust Him to teach you how to feel, act and think and to see the
trickery the devil uses. All Christian's are sinners, no one is sin free who ever they are, not
you, Dr Chung or I.
As a mother I would gladly have all talk of paedophilic activity wiped off the face of the earth.
The discussion is a sin this world bears and a sin that strikes like a knife into the heart of many
parents; it is 'pure striking and searing pain'. However, all parents can chose to wear their armour
to protect themselves and their children.
The only person you need to look to for certain guidance on matters of Christianity is Jesus, and
this comes through hearing The Word of God through the Holy Spirit. Other Christian's can help in
this journey to Christ, but when their sins, perceived or otherwise, are being manipulated (perhaps
even invented) by the devil, then all someone like I can do is say that I will pray for your
protection. You and your family must be very near to God at this time, it would upset evil forces to
lose a stronghold over you, there is a lot to lose.
"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you
may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is
your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to
your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." " NKJ Deuteronomy 30:19-20
I pray that God will bless you and your family, each and every day.
