jesus loves porn stars

Last week in chapel we had an emphasis week on the issue of human trafficking and the sex trade and how it is alive and well even in our own country and that there are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in history. there are a lot of reasons this is a huge deal because most of them in the trade are children that are forced into the sex trade or sold by their parents for various reasons.

this week we have the xxx church pastor here. today he shared with us how he goes to porn shows with a huge banner at his booth that says jesus loves porn stars and hands our bibles. he said something that stuck with me today..."the darkness isnt the problem its that the light wont go into the darkness" i think that is so true in our churches today we often are afraid to tackle issues such as pornography or anything related to sex which is interesting because it is addressed in the bible and it is obviously a huge issue in our culture all you have to do is watch commercials to see that. He shared stories about how when they went to their first show he didnt know what to expect but they were embraced and asked to come back at a discounted price he called it the "christian discount at the porn show" they have since been to many shows and shared the gospel with many people and he was interviewd by Maury on his show and it will air this week. its incredible to hear some of his stories God works even at porn shows! (You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20) its crazy how even in the darkness people crave the light the speaker got an email and was invited to go to a gay porn show and the email told him to bring bibles because he always runs out crazy how God works! just some thoughts from today
