What about those of us in the pews? What was our plight? What decisions did we face? Were you aware of the details as they happened? What was your position? Did you taste the bitter water? Did you see the exodus of families leaving the church and wonder why? Did you ask the pertinent questions?…
Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you are my Heavenly Father. I direct my heart to you alone. I serve you alone in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. You have delivered me in Christ from the hand of the enemy. Forgive me when I fail you….

They are victims of not only the abuser,…
