All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Strip Club

Rachelle Starrn was raised in a Christian home & had never been inside a strip club in her life. But she felt this calling from God to reach out to women in the sex industry. She knew that God had given her a passion for those women to know how much He loves them & how precious they were in His eyes. Whatever doubts, she knew God was calling her to take action. He didn't want her to just to feel compassion for them but to do something about it.

In 2008, she started Scarlet Hope, a ministry that reaches out to women involved in the sex industry. They take big, southern-comfort-style dinners to strip clubs. Their prayer is that they're not just feeding their stomachs but they're feeding a deeper spiritual hunger. In some clubs, they fix hair & make-up so they can get some one-on-one time with the girls. It gives them the opportunity to pray with women in the middle of the strip club.

She states that many hearts have been changed & lives touched & many turned to Christ for forgiveness &  new beginnings. She says she has seen Jesus show up many times in the back of a strip club dressing room. Many dancers opened up to them, sharing their struggles, asking for prayers, & some have even accepted their invitations to church.

What are your thoughts on this testimony? When I read it I must admit doubts flooded me. I know Jesus goes to the sinners but He didn't put their make-up on before prostituting themselves. Am I wrong with my feelings? No one knows the mind of God but do you really believe God would have them take such drastic steps to reach others?

I knew what it all means. I just haven't heard it call that except in movies. I found it cute. Nowadays, we call them ho's.

Now to get serious for a moment, if you two can get serious for a moment, my final serious thought on this issue.....if I can remember what the issue was........

The apostle Paul, writing to the Philippians, Chapter 1, starting in verse 15:" Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; (16)the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; (17)the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. (18) What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed: and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice."

 

So, Ladies and gentlemen of the website, I submit that whatever motives these witnesses for Jesus Christ might have in their hearts......the fact is the Lord is being proclaimed.....and I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice.

 

Grace and Peace to all.

Who are you calling serious?  Seriousness is overrated.  But seriously, this has been a very serious discussion and I'm serious about my belief in this and seriously don't doubt others are serious about theirs.  Therefore, we can seriously all stand in faith in what we believe, since if it's not of faith, it's sin.  So let us seriously not sin and have faith in what we believe.  Now is that serious enough for ya? 

Sorry, but you seriously knew I would.  LOL

Janie,

I  totally agree with you.

Satan will never get Tammy and Char.

He'd be afraid to have them around. They'd probably be installing air-conditioning, or something.

:>() !

 

Grace and Peace.

lol @ Richard,

I know , I really know that these two, Seek and Tammy ,seem like they are both the real cat lady's. Scary, we have to be on our toes and have one finger on the sign out button if you get in their way. The devil isn't the only one afraid.  =D
