And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was
no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out
of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your
minds. Judges, Chapter 19, verse 30.
The rest of the chapter tells about a group of men
who abuse and rape a Levite man’s concubine (mistress) until she died. God tells us through this Bible passage that
we are to speak our minds on issues of this nature.
It might not seem like these things are socially
acceptable, but they really are, more so than you think. Think of how easy it is for us to hear about
another case of date rape and shrug our shoulders. Our complacent and helpless attitudes toward
things of this nature help to perpetuate the growth of these crimes. People start to view it as something that
guys do when they are out drinking too much.
Well, guess what? Rape or crimes
of aggression aren’t acceptable under any circumstance! I think we Complacent Christians need to raise our children with a
clear message on this!
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
