Ravi Zacharias: I Did Not Solicit Inappropriate Pictures

[MattS]

My disclaimer here, I’m not a fan of Charisma Magazine, they have far too much New Apostolic Reformation content for my liking and I usually end up there gathering information for my research and articles. However I came across this article on Ravi Zacharias. He has been a favourite Christian apologist of mine for quite some time. I was very sobered by this account. I was unsurprised by what had occurred but still very saddened by the state of the world and what has happened so quickly. It is a timely warning for us all I think.

This reminds me of Vice-president Pence who has instituted the same safeguards. Of course liberals have mocked him for this but you can never be too careful.

I think it’s also important married Christians need to be so careful when interacting with the opposite sex. It doesn’t take much to open a door and give the enemy a foothold.

Good point Dianna re VP Mike Pence, you are right, he has been mocked but I bet that it has ensured that he does not get compromised.

Excellent article! Ravi has long been a favourite of mine too. This Nails it squarely on the head for me. This is the exact reason I felt in inward glaring STOP sign when asked to be a “friend” with folks on this forum. It came to mind that I don’t know anyone in cyber land and this form of intimate opinion chat through a forum that can connect men and women via an email seemed to me as a way of cracking a door for satan. I speak from experience and by revelation of the Holy Spirit. I would only say peace, caution and wisdom to all. Cheers

I have a self-made policy of only interacting with non-family member males in an open format or with my husband’s over-sight/input. Not talking about business calls of course. I don’t think many people find temptation through discussing bills or stuff like that, lol. So I’ll discuss things on these forums or the FB page where everyone can see, but I wouldn’t ‘friend’ them or private message them (unless my hubby saw it first and saw their reply in the case of the later; plus I’d need to have an important reason to do so).

M.E. that’s an excellent policy. You have to fiercely guard your marriage and make sure nothing is hidden. I also know from experience that it doesn’t take much for the devil to get a foothold leading to disastrous consequences when opposite genders are in the mix.

[M.E.]

Yes! And knowing that we women are especially vulnerable to the emotional connection aspect makes me even more cautious because that’s entirely possible online. People fall into it because they don’t think it COULD happen to them.
