“Are they ashamed of these disgusting actions? Not at all—they don’t even know how to blush! Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered. They will be brought down when I punish them, says the Lord.”
Jeremiah 8:12 NLT

Sometimes the news is just hard to watch. The latest headlines contain a massive amount of sexual harassment charges. Our political leaders, the powerful men who are charged with representing us, can't contain themselves. They act like a bunch hormone crazed school boys experiencing girls for the first. The power has gone to their heads. I am disgusted by their actions. There is absolutely no humility in any of them. I wish we knew how to genuinely blush. I was so proud of our Vice President this past year when he talked about staying away from those temptations. Of course, the media ridiculed him ruthlessly. He has it right. We all need to take a lesson from him. Avoid opportunity to sin with all your heart and soul.
My advice,
Humble yourselves before your constituents and, more importantly, before the Lord. You obviously need to ask forgivenesss, plead for your career and show genuine disgust and sadness about what you have done. Not just because you were caught, but because you genuinely repent, you should come before the Lord begging his mercy. All of us need to promote purity in our relationships with others. As men we need to show honor and respect to women. We need to fight for them and protect them from evil. Words are cheap. Our actions will show reveal hearts. We can not tolerate any words, actions, or thoughts that do not honor women in our society. Dear Lord forgive us!
