The backside of Osaka

So there's this.  You can find drive-by videos on YouTube, but I just wanted to introduce this subject of red light districts, like this very traditional style one, basically a relic, in a more gradual way (in other words, more to follow).

Ramone, Zach, and I did a walk-by around noon the other day to do some assessing and pray the advent of the kingdom.  You might call it the meat market.  Of all the red/pink areas in this city, this is the one that still retains remnants of a wall around it.  We think of it as the fortress.  And its days are numbered.

"For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.  For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.  We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ..." - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
