Which is the bigger fight, homosexuality or sex trafficking? Why?
Okay, now it's your turn. I know this is a potentially volitile subject matter. I did that on purpose. Write your comments. After a few days, I'll write mine.
I would have to say that maybe sex-trafficking would be the biggest fight. S.T. is simply violent and externally slavish. It is a networking crime whereas homosexuality is by nature more internal and individual.
It is easier to criminalize what people do to others over what people do to themselves.
While I say that S.T. may be the biggest fight I can't help but see the other side. Sex trafficking may be more violent and easier to spot and control, but Homosexuality is deeply wrapped around the heart of its victims. Thus spiritually, H.S. may be the hardest fight.
It is hard to say though, for it is similar to asking which is the biggest sin. Well, they are both sins and both in the end kill. It is just that one offends us more then the other--which is usually the one that is more external.
My title for this blog is completely facetious, yet (hopefully) motivating. I want us, together, to explore and discuss the things that are truly important...the issues that are close to the heart of God.
For the past five years, we have served as missionaries with Youth With A Mission, Denver. We got married July, 2004 and had our first child, Zion, in May of 2005 and our second child, Micah in February of 2007. We have traveled and continue to travel the world - learning how to love people. We dearly miss our friends Tiff and Phil, but we refuse to shrink back in fear from the work we know God has called us to.
