The enemy has not changed his strategy, which is to cause people to live in shame and question what God has really said, says Australian evangelist and anti-human trafficking campaigner Christine Caine.
She wonders if Christians are too ashamed of the gospel because they are hiding in such shame, and it is up to every believer in Jesus to choose who they will believe.
Preaching before thousands of young people assembled in Atlanta last week for Passion Conference 2018, Christine Caine, founder of the A21 Campaign, gave a passionate message that drew upon her own life story.
“God wants us to know that before the Fall, that there was no thing that humanity was created to bear the burden of, and that’s the burden of shame,” referencing Genesis 2:25 where Scripture describes Adam and Eve as being “both naked and without shame.”
“So if you were the enemy, and you wanted to take out the one thing that was created in the image of God, wouldn’t it make sense that you would try to put something on them that God created them to never know what it felt like?” she asked.
Caine, who is of Greek descent, recounted the pain of shame she knew growing up in Australia…

If you are a Christian, you assuredly want to hear Jesus say to you someday, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” but it’s one thing to desire this and another to be walking the straight and narrow path.

A repentant Alabama pastor who confessed to luring a 15-year-old member of his church into sexual acts with the promise of teaching her how to play the piano was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday.
Pastor Camerius Mills was the 29-year-old leader of St. Paul’s Baptist Church when he was arrested in 2015 and charged with rape, sodomy, and traveling to meet a child for the purpose of unlawful sex. He had served in the position for about three years.
“He was a pastor and he had befriended this young lady in his congregation,” Sheriff’s Investigator Keith Cauthen, who arrested Mills, told the Dothan Eagle in the summer of 2016. “He picked her up under the pretenses on teaching her the piano.”
Cauthen said Mills first met the teenager when she started attending his church in November 2014. It wasn’t until February 2015 that Mills initiated unlawful contact.
