 The standard of health in the future may be defined by those able to give blood to the blood banks, as the blood banks will not allow persons with at- risk-behavior to give blood. Having said that - the United States has an epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Over 70 million Americans currently have an STI, as 19 million new cases occur each year. Half of these are in people under 25. What causes STIs?
STIs can be caused by bacteria (eg, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis), viruses (eg, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, herpes, HPV), or parasites (trichomoniasis). Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STI. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common viral STI.The Facts About Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Please listen-up, our country is
experiencing an epidemic
of underage girls being sexually exploited by adult men. This felony crime is also reported by Chris Hanson on NBC's Dateline, O'Reilly, James Kennedy, Don Wildmon, Oprah, Nancy Grace and many others.
According to the research in the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography: Final Report (U.S. Department of Justice, 1986, at pp. 901-1035), pornography is usually found behind every sex crime. In addition, the most reliable data shows that among girls 15 and younger who become pregnant, over 60 percent of them are impregnated by adults. 1 Further research 2 shows that the physical and emotional consequences for these children can be devastating. Girls targeted for sex by adult men 7 tend to become life-long victims who view their self-worth solely in terms of sex. When compared to girls who are sexually active with boys near their own age, they are more likely to:
|
| |
- have multiple sex partners
- engage in dangerous sexual behaviors
- be lured into prostitution or pornography
|
- become pregnant
- abuse drugs or alcohol
- drop out of school
|
Furthermore, other data shows that girls between 11 and 13 who are having sexual relationships with men more than five years older than themselves are significantly more likely to attempt suicide.
Studies also show that the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases in America is found among females ages 15 to 19, and that the overwhelming majority of these girls contracted these diseases from adult males. 19 Contact any policing authority or CfD if you know of any underage girls being sexually assaulted by an adult male: info@CentersForDecency.org or call 713-266-2715 -- 24/7 |

Solid Foundation
Every structure needs to have a solid foundation. Whether it’s a forty-five-story skyscraper or
a one-story house, everything must be built on a strong, stable base. The same is true of our
Christian life. Without a strong foundation, ou r walk with the Lord will be weak, wobbly and
unstable. Many of us have tried to build our faith in God without the proper foundation. As a
result, our lives have been filled with confusion and frustration.
I believe two of the main reasons why we don’t have the solid spiritual foundation we need is
because we don’t know who we are in Christ, and we lack a clear understanding of things like repentance and faith. Do You Have a Crack in Your Foundation? |
