The story you'll read may be overwhelmingly disturbing. The words I've written down that describes my encounter are true. I often think back to that 10-year-old boy who had no idea how much danger surrounded him. I pray this story opens the eyes of not only children, but parents to the risks of trusting people just because they may sit in church, yell out a hallelujah from time to time, or walk with a bible under their arm — a lion hunts where the gazelles dwell. Bears know where the salmon swims, and a child predator knows where he or she would be trusted around a child.

"Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official priests were male, most authors of Scripture were male, Jesus was male and chose twelve male Apostles. God is addressed as Father. Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands.

When the psalmist penned these words from King Solomon in Psalm 127:3-4 (NLT), "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him..." the Israelites understood the essence of the meaning as a song of worship that they would sing on their pilgrimage to the Holy City. From a scholarly perspective, there is an inherent belief within this repeated refrain that there is an expectation that God's children will be treated as gifts. When this expectation is not heeded, and instead there is a breach in safeguarding our children - especially in the church - the impact and trauma are ...

In 2009, the Good News Club came to the public elementary school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children.

The reason why no boy should read it is that it describes stages through which the normal boy should pass in entire unconsciousness that such stages exist That was not a wholesome attitude revealed by a Seattle boy, who, in reply to his teacher’s question, “What is the matter with you, James?" replied, “Oh, I'm passing through adolescence." Parents, teachers and leaders, however, ought to know these ...
