Things We Don’t Talk About
By Jeremy | January 18, 2005
Eric's story is far more common than we care to admit. One in three girls and one in six boys are sexually abused in childhood, and twenty percent of women have had at least one incestuous experience before 18. Given these and other realities, what happens when God answers our prayers and His word, sharper than a two-edged sword, cuts deep to expose the cancers of life? For starters, it gets uncomfortable. Many in our pews and pulpits cannot stomach the gore of the surgeon's scalpel. Many cannot fathom the prolonged recovery time, or extend grace when the affects of emotional chemo cause ugly side issues to surface.From Things We Don't Talk About, Jeremy's latest article. Please read it in its entirety before posting any comments. Special thanks to Eric Gorman for allowing me to share his story. Visit Eric Gorman Ministries online here.
