More precious men and women are leaving the porn industry! Porn is devastating and not only never delivers on its promises, it ends up taking so much more! Here’s the story of two women who have recently escaped the Devil’s snare … but just barely. They are wounded and hurting and picking up the pieces of shattered lives. By God’s grace they have survived and lived to tell their stories. Let’s be Jesus to them and help meet their needs in this critical time. Here are their stories in their own words…
33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
“Beneath the Cross of Jesus” - Keith & Kristyn Getty
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I find a place to stand,
And wonder at such mercy
That calls me as I am;
For hands that should discard me
Hold wounds which tell me, “Come.”
Beneath the cross of Jesus
My unworthy soul is won.Beneath the cross of Jesus
His family is my own—
Once strangers chasing selfish dreams,
Now one through grace alone.
How could I now dishonor
The ones that You have loved?
Beneath the cross of Jesus
See the children called by God.Beneath the cross of Jesus—
The path before the crown—
We follow in His footsteps
Where promised hope is found.
How great the joy before us
To be His perfect bride;
Beneath the cross of Jesus
We will gladly live our lives.
Answered prayer! Men are leaving the porn industry and speaking out!
Check out this interview with a former porn actor. BEWARE: This interview contains adult subject matter.
“So much of this album is inspired by the mentality of letting go and trusting that good can come out of that. About trusting that God is going to work out the details that we can’t control,” she said. “It took me so long to realize that, and it wasn’t until I did that my life got better … so I’m hoping our fans will realize it too.”
I thought the Sexual Revolution was supposed to liberate women? Check out this blog I recently read online titled, “I hate being out in public” …
Last time I visited the grocery store. This creep followed me all around the store. Then in the parking lot in his SUV circled the lot about 6 times. So he can see what car I got into so he can follow me home.
Dont try to tell me this was a fan or nice guy. HE creeped out the security guard. Who was nice enough to stand with me until the guy got the message I was totally aware of him.
Instincts are there for a reason. I trust mine totally. Cops tell rape victims to always trust their instincts.
If a fan or a man finds me attractive and just says “you are beautiful” and moves on. I am flattered and happy with that tact. But to follow me around and creep me out is unexceptable behavior.
Dont tell me the guy was just scared. Well, then dont scare the **** out of me in return.
I would love to go to the beach on a regular bases, but there is one guy who creeps me out everytime I go. Dude must live there. He creeps out everybody male or female I take with me.
So over it. I don’t go out in public but once a week to stay safe. Tired of it.
There is alot of nice guys out there, but trust me there are alot of creeps and rapist too. I dress covered all up. But I have to wear ugly clothes in public. How is that fair to me?
I am not able to go for a walk on a nice day in a park without some creep saying something totally crude or flashing his ****.
There are days, where it really isn’t hard for me to hate men. Today is one of them.
