Word for the day "The incestuous reality"

Leviticus 18:6 (MSG) “Don’t have sex with a close relative. I am God.I’ll never forget the night reading of the story of a Pastor who was listening to Chuck Swindoll address about ten thousand Christians. Right in the middle of his message, he heard a statement that virtually sucked the air right out of the room. He proclaimed, “I know some of you are having sex with your children. And I’m telling you to stop it. I’m asking you to stop it. You must consider the impact on your child. You must stop having sex with your children.”Why on earth would he say that? Because he was the pastor of a church and heard the confessions of people who’d been involved in incestuous relationships. It is reported that the trauma of child abuse actually rewires parts of the brain in both function and structure. The effects are quite serious. The abnormalities can last right through adulthood, leaving the victim with such problems as aggression, poor emotional control, memory and attention disorders, and serious mood and personality disorders.Point to ponder- The nature of this sexual sin is such that all of us would rather leave it in silence. But we simply cannot. Therefore, I repeat what Chuck Swindoll said that night: “You must stop having sex with your children.” And I would add, “I beg you to get the help you need.” This was the first time I have ever written on this matter and it was sincerely not an easy post.
