<\/a>by Doug Wilson from Blog and Mablog \u2013 Into the Pavilions of God<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nEditor\u2019s note: Wilson has it backwards I think, telling this supposedly fictional sexual abuse victim to ignore anyone that does not approve of his words. No, sorry Doug, but much of your advice, even judged on a Biblical standard, is just more abuse laid upon a survivor of abuse.<\/em><\/p>\n You have told me several times in your letters that you have found my letters a real encouragement, a very practical help. But I can guarantee you that if you were to read portions of these letters aloud at a partisan meeting organized on behalf of approved<\/em> victims, a number of my points would be shouted down under a torrent of recrimination. I would be called a number of things, up to and including a different kind of abuser. And you would be scratching your head\u2014how could this be abuse when you found it so helpful? Well, it isn\u2019t abuse, just gospel.<\/p>\n There is no need to try to fix everybody else\u2014if you<\/em> have found peace in your individual soul, then enjoy that peace. God has given you a white stone, and you have a name written there that is known to Him and to you alone (Rev. 2:17). So worship God, love Christ, and love your people. There are<\/em> turbulent spirits out there, and they do disapprove of your peace. Let<\/em> them. Leave them be. They might heartily disapprove of you\u2014but your peace is something that passes understanding anyhow. God will keep your heart and mind, and He will do it by means of His<\/em> peace (Phil. 4:7). And whenever they get a bit too noisy, you may feel free to withdraw into the pavilions of God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ \u2013 we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think?
