Through another blog I found out about this site where some former strippers have found Jesus and are doing what they can to witness to other women about Him. I poked around their site a little bit and think that their approach may be a bit soft for men to really find lasting freedom, but anything to increase awareness and to get these women to hear the gospel is a good thing.
To me, this is where real life change happens. It's not that hard to stand outside a strip club and picket. There was a site hosted by some people in Oregon who hung out near a strip club and posted photos of patrons and license plates. This of course was met with much derision by most patrons, but the point was that they were doing what they thought was best.
I don't think shame is the best way to lead people to Jesus. They know that they're doing something wrong. This is obvious based on their reactions to the photos. What people need to hear is that there is another way. They know that they only get filled for a minute, but end up empty. These girls are looking for something and haven't found it. The three women at that site have found the answer and I rejoice that they want to share the Good News with others. I'm particularly interested in this quote from an AP story about this:
But Veitch doesn't think the women should have to quit their jobs before entering a church.
"What we say to that is, 'Do we ask gluttons to stop eating too much before they come to church?' " Veitch said. "Sin is sin."
Amen, sister!
