provoking thoughts

LIFE TODAY WITH JAMES ROBISON>>>>>>Last Tuesday we taped 2 episodes of "Life Today" with James Robison and his wife Betty. We hopped on the plane Tuesday morning and headed out to Dallas, TX. Usually we don't like to do Christian television but this time we had a very specific plan. Also, James Robison is darn good guy. He may not be everyone's style but he is the real deal and supports what we are doing at XXXchurch. Well our plan was simply this. The first episode talk about our ministry. Blah. Blah. Blah. But the second episode we brought our friend Trinity who currently works in the porn industry. We are trying to provide ways for Trinity and girls like her to leave the industry. Many times it comes down to the basics. Jobs, education, figuring out how to pay bills, and day care. Well, We are trying to put together plans for people in the porn industry to finally get out and we need the help of people everywhere. We are calling it the "Trinity Project" after our friend Trinity who is currently doing porn but would like to get out.
The Life Today show broadcasts around the world into 100 million homes and it made sense for us to share this new part of our ministry with these folks and see if they would step up to the plate. Us church folks do a pretty good job whining and complaining about the porn industry but never do anything to really help solve the problem. This is a very practical way people can help. If you don't like someone's job, then find them another. In the book of James it says "Faith without works is dead." Don't you think it is time for all of us to get to work and help girls who need help?
