While watching MSNB’s Dateline, I was reminded of the sexual disaster of America. Utilizing a non-profit group known as Perverted Justice, MSNBC trolled for men who were willing to engage in sex with a thirteen year old girl or boy. Decoys would engage these men in chat rooms or via the phone and would invite them to meet them in a quiet residential neighborhood.
MSNBC trolled for a mere three days. I would have expected half a dozen men to greet the MSNBC cameras. Shockingly, over fifty men were arrested subsequent to their surprise interviews. With nary a blush, the men would spin the most outrageous lies. “I did not know how old she was.” “I just came to teach her a lesson about online predators.” Then the MSNBC reporter would unveil their lewd and offensive chat room dialogues that left all of the lies naked. Seldom did any of the men show shame.
From a short four years in ministry, I met many men who struggled with sexual issues. Dozens were addicted to pornography. Some may have been emerging predators. How many men have sexual sin at some point in their life? 100%! In the words of a New Zealand evangelist, “There are only two kinds of men in this world. Perverts and forgiven perverts.”
America is in the throes of a great plague. Predators are being created daily by our over-saturation with sexual content. MTV and HBO know no limitations to their exploitation of man’s desire for sexual gratification. Recent Victoria’s Secret advertisements aired at all hours have only one purpose; arousal.
If the Church does not mobilize to address the silent plague, our young men will be rapists, our young women will be victims and our parents will be complicit. God has made us fully aware of the scope of our degradation.

Tis a plague blacker than the bubonic.
We also have a plague of injustice. Recently, I was shocked to learn how few of the cyberspace destroyers of the young actually spend jail time.
Compounded with this tragic "softheadedness/softheartedness of our judicial system is the strange appeals for mercy by so many liberalized Christians. They mistakenly believe God wants light civil penalties for pedophiles. A case in point is a recent article by Rev. Yutzy in the Madison Press. He castigates Bill O'Reilly and all ministers who call for heavy punisment for child molestors. He highlights God's love and mercy and completely ignores the issue of instituted government wielding power to punish crimes against humanity.
Christ did not strip "Caeser" of all authority.
The Director of IPCC, Dr. Clyde Hughes, agrees with me that capital punishment is fitting for those who violate children.
