The Other Side of the Internet

We are proud of our blog. We are also proud of so many others (many of whom are listed on the right-hand side) who use this medium as a way to promote the Truth. People all over the world can search for Bible articles and “fall into” our blog through search engines, Technorati, Stumble Upon and other sites. We find that exciting.

But, as is more often reported, there is another side to the internet. It is the side that is used to promote evil. Sites that promote drinking, lewd behavior and pornography seem to hold sway on the internet.

And then a story comes across that shows that there is an even more dark side. Today in Great Britain a child pornography ring was broken up by an international police force. Some of the pictures and videos that this web ring used showed babies being sexually abusive.

Sadly, the internet provides a way for this type of material to reach as many people as possible, too.

You may click here for the Times Online article about this bust, but be warned: some of the contents are very disturbing. There are no pictures, of course, but I would ask young people to get their parents permission before reading this story.

Let’s keep using the internet as a way to promote the Truth. We need more sites that bring people closer to God!
