Today we complete our week long look at childhood sexual abuse and how our churches should respond. Today I will issue a warning – don’t ever let down your guard. Over the course of the last few months our internet feeds and news sites have been filled with a steady streams of abuses revealed. Our temptation is to always point the finger and to shake our heads in pious disapproval, all the while denying that we’d ever think or do anything like that. Don’t buy the lie. We are sinful and fallen human beings. Each of us could easily cross the line into anything from inappropriate emotional enmeshment to sexual abuse. Surround yourself with accountability. Set boundaries and hold to them. Don’t take advantage of vulnerable young people in any way, shape, or form. And, if you’re struggling, step away and get the help that’s needed. Paul wasn’t joking when he said, “Flee from sexual immorality”
