abusive men

So I've come to wonder about men. Why do they abuse? Is that something innate within them, or is it evil overpowering them?

It is such an issue. Even prevalent in my life now, not towards me, but I am surrounded by it. It makes me so sad. Do these men even know that not only are they draggin themselves down, but they are taking others down with them?

Especially when somebody claims to be a Christian, or at least once did, how do you go from one extreme to the next? It makes me wonder how God must feel about it all. I'm sure it saddens Him to no other.

Of course I took to the Internet to see what the Bible says about abusive men, and I found this really great site. http://www.latter-rain.net/articles/healing_relationships.html

It's long, but I found it so interesting...nodding my head constantly as I read.

Here is THE verse:

Psalms 18:47-48

He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me, who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.

God's blessing of the day: my roommate! I'm so lucky to have her. She is the best!
