The robber slips in at night, the obvious time for his crime, most people being asleep. There are ways to get around watch dogs and many security systems. We are, after all, living in an electronic age and there are new ways to get into the home people thought was secure when they turned out the lights. Inside he works deliberately but not in a rush. After all, he’s got a job to do and he’ll take the time to do it right, if you can use the word “right” about such a terrible thing. By the time he’s done, the damage is devastating. Lives ruined. Families destroyed. The community weakened.
This robber is internet porn. Today there are millions of pornographic web sites. I once read that children normally view porn for the first time at age 11. Is everyone in your family sleeping at night, or is someone on the computer? It’s addictive, like booze or drugs, and leaves you with shame and emptiness.
No sin is too big for God to handle, but if the robber is in your home, first you must scream out and call for help.
