Chicago study finds prostitution arrests rarely result in jail
In 1984 Chicago logged 17,220 prostitution arrests with 10,000 cases traced. Only seven of the 10,000 faced jail beyond a night, about 3,000 paid a $35 bail and were released. Officials fault arrests, prosecutions and lenient judges, prompting a city panel to seek solutions with aldermen, prosecutors, a judge, a neighborhood representative and a police official.

You must be born again in Christ Jesus today
In this brief, devotional note pastor William D. Curtis emphasizes that ritual alone does not define faith. True Christian experience comes from being a new creation in Christ, as urged by Galatians 6 15 and John 3 3. If you gamble with God you lose.
