If human trafficking of women, boys, and girls for sex, drugs, pornography, and prostitution does not bother the hearts of people, I am persuaded to believe that nothing else will.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 23)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 23)
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14: 38)
Lord, help us to remember the wages of sin.
Help us to remember the sin to any people.
Help us to remember the times when we turn our faces against the suffering of people in exchange for earthly pleasures and the trivial pursuit of entertainment addictions.
The United States should be ashamed for leading the world in the production and distribution of pornography.
The United States has also provided a safe haven for human and drug traffickers to operate beneath the dome of corruption in high places, all for the sake of filthy lucre.
How, then, can the United States be a nation of righteousness when our nation's sins lie at the door of heaven?
Perhaps our own nation should be charged with: International Hypocrisy.
While our nation is running all over the world and telling other nations how their nations should be run, we can't clean up our own house!
While we are giving billions of dollars in foreign aid, we can't get gangsters off the streets!
We can't close the pipeline of international corruption!
It is as if the United States is the epicenter of filthy lucre, from New York to California!
When women and boys and girls are caught up in this international ring of crime, they will never have another good day. They will never have a day off. They will never have another square meal, or a day of rest. They will never have medication for pain, nor enter a hospital for injuries. Most will be dead before their 25th birthday. Some will become victims as human sacrifices on altars of Satan in underground dark places. They are slaves imprisoned in a global cartel that produces billions of dollars, and marked with GPS microchips making escape from their masters impossible.
Yet, we are proud to be Americans, aren't we? Proud of our nation, proud of our heritage, and proud of a selfie generation that says, "Look at me! I am the face in the mirror!."
Is the United States guilty of international hypocrisy?
Are we, the people, guilty of the same face in the mirror?
Lord, help us to remember the wages of sin.
Help us to remember the sin to any people.
Lord, hear our prayer:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed by thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
(Matthew 6: 9-12)
