"its not the darks fault for being dark, its the lights for not shining on it."
Church was awesome today, as usual. We are still on the series of Sex. today was xxxchurch day, and one of the two men who started xxxchurch.com was there to talk about it all. He explained to us how his friend Mike one day was taking a shower and God spoke to him and basically said, "porn." he said that Mike felt God drawing him to call up this friend of his, Craig, and start a ministry centered around helping out those with the problem of pornography. The story is really neat, and if you want you should check out the website, its actually titled the #1 Christian Porn Site. They started the ministry by traveling out to Vegas with their wives one year and setting up a booth at a porn show. They felt that porn wasnt something that people necessarily talked about when discussing their weaknesses, but that it was a very damaging thing to relationships, family, and souls. They wanted to create a space to learn how to deal with the addiction or desire to view porn and some where that people could talk about it, anonymously or not and get feed back from people who care and want to help them. It also has a thing that you can actually have all the websites you view sent to two people that are close to you that will help keep you accountable. I thought it was really neat that these men werent afraid to address this issue or openly talk about it, because it is an issue and needs to be dealt with. i think its awesome how God used these two men to start such an awesome ministry to help the struggling men and women out there who have been too ashamed to talk about porn or tell someone they are pornographic actors. As humans and christians we can be so judgemental and look at these people who take part in this and think, they are perverted, they have issues, blah blah...and these men looked at these porn stars and porn addicted people and thought, Jesus loves Porn Stars =) i thunk of this whole xxxchurch to be neat!
