The Super Sex Bowl

 

Imagine dipping a fragrant, blossoming red rose into a vat of slimy mud, then pulling it out and letting it dry. The next day, and the next, repeat. Day in and day out, the mud caked petals would soon fall and the essence of the beauty would be stolen, yet the flower’s core remains. Its’ DNA is still a rose, but circumstances have drastically altered its’ future.

No metaphor can truly exemplify the torturous, yet profitable, treatment endured by young girls and boys ensnared in the human and sex trafficking web. Yet during Super Bowl week, leading up to the Big Game, the sex trade industry will be at a fever pitch, despite the freezing temperatures. While sports lovers enjoy the “ice bowl,” many other men will be rolling in limousines, literal mobile brothels, or shacked up in hotels dipping roses into mud.

It’s a sick and twisted example of a broken male culture. Men acting worse than animals buying in to each other’s uncontrollable desire to spoil the innocence of youth for their selfish short-term satisfaction.

“New Jersey has a huge trafficking problem,” said Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), who is co-chairman of the House anti-human trafficking caucus. “One Super Bowl after another after another has shown itself to be one of the largest events in the world where the cruelty of human trafficking goes on for several weeks.”

Recent news agencies reported that New York and New Jersey law enforcement are bolstering efforts to address this dirty trade that goes behind closed doors. Even airlines are training personnel to lookout for possible pimps and victims. But I’m reminded of Sodom and Gomorrah, two cities overrun with sexual temptation, lust and sexual appetite and other wicked behaviors. No measure of law enforcement could save these cities. I wonder if the same is true of the heightened level of sex trafficking that comes with every super bowl game.

Breakfast of Fighters

 

We, men, are at war – an epic spiritual battle. With every sun rise, a new threat awaits. Unforeseen bombs will be lobbed our way. Fiery darts will be aimed at our character. Other weapons are fashioned to blast our armor. Organized legions are positioned to break through our walls. You and I are fighting the good fight of faith. Since this is one fight you simply cannot afford to lose today without grave consequences the question becomes one of health – your spiritual health. So let’s start with breakfast shall we? How do you load up to win?

I’m not talking about a carb load. I’m talking about the “bread of life” and the “living water” that deliver first food to a man of god both for short-term power and long-term rewards.
