We are heartbroken

Asia worked with three of our children. Two of them knew her personally. This hit them hard. Asia has family members who worked with my children, so my children are concerned about them too. Please pray for Asia and her family. Please also pray for the young victims of this disgusting crime and their families.

There are many traps to fall into in this life. The internet has brought both the best and very worst of the world right into our homes. It is a very dark time in history and it should not be a surprise to see some of the things we do. It is still shocking and unsettling. 

Before you jump on Asia's parents and blame them for this, remember she is an adult and has the same sinful rebellious nature as everyone else. She made her own choices. Ministering to her parents is better than allowing your pride to sit in judgment of them. Grace is beautiful and I am so glad Jesus lavished on me so I can show it to others. May each of us endeavor to show grace as quickly and eagerly as He did to us. 

Child porn is one of the most hated sins. It is revolting and brings great anger to most people. There is hope for someone caught up in child porn. His name is Jesus. His death and resurrection were big enough to cover that sin too. May Asia call upon Jesus for salvation.
