Tuesday's NY Times had an article about runaways, life on the street and how it often leads to prostitution. It featured a quote from a pimp that left me stunned.
“With the young girls, you promise them heaven, they’ll follow you to hell,” said Harvey Washington, a pimp...
What shocked me was how we ALL are prone to fall for this trick, this scheme of the devil. Who hasn't seen first hand the 'promise' of success, money, sex or the like lead good men and women to leave their families, cheat their employers or fall into ruin of some kind. And who hasn't heard the sirens call of temptation? This pimp gave voice to the devil himself.
For the young women being ensnared I pray 2 Tim 2:26:
"...that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."
