A Christian Viewpoint

A big problem with society is that they believe that: once a child molester always a child molester. There is a quick attack by people against those who sin in this peculiar and tragic manner. To stygmatize people and say there is no recovery of the soul is to condemn these people. Because of this they cannot seek the help they need… they don’t dare.

Yet as a Christian I believe that there is always hope. That repentance is possible. That a person can have his life changed. The difficulty comes from believing that with the right incentive someone using will power will be able to walk the right path. Yet will power will never change the heart. This approach has never worked. To change a person’s life they need a gift that can only come from God. That gift is self-control. It is planted as a seed and with time and patience will bear the fruit of someone who can walk in obedience to God’s way and decently. Their hearts are transformed. This is true for every person under the control of their particular “sinful act”.

I feel sorry for those who are heading down the path that will result in a child eventually being hurt. I feel saddened and concerned for the child who will be their victim. I am angry at the culture that puts stumbling blocks in front of those who need the help to stop the cycle from continuing.

Regardless of what the sinful behaviour…
The tempted need help without judgement
The sinner needs correction and help
But the monster needs to be removed from society.
