Journey Day 179

So I love the investigation discovery channel. It's basically the crime channel, and it's like real life law and order. It has some really interesting shows, one of which being " Hookers:Saved on the Strip ". It's not nearly as scandalous as it sounds. It's a show about a woman who was a hooker on the Las Vegas strip for about 16 years. She became a Christian, and started an organization called "Hookers for Jesus". They reach prostitutes on the strip, by providing them with a save place to live and rehabilitate. The founder, Annie Lobert, is an incredible christian woman, who shows the love of Christ to those that need it the most. These women NEED Jesus, and she brings Him to them by loving on them, and giving them a non judgmental place to blossom. Ms Lobert is a living, breathing example of Jesus, she doesn't just claim to love God, she LIVES it! It certainly challenges me to put action behind my claim of faith. What a beautiful example of love! James 2:14-17 says, "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed." but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, by faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead." If we say we believe in Christ, in His promises, in His love, and in His power, but we do not live His word, or faith is dead. I don't know about you but I don't want dead faith! I want to live a live that reflects the word of God, just like Annie Lobert does. I want to love the least reached, because I know my God has come for the sick and imperfect, not for the well, or the seemingly "perfect". You should go to her website and check out the cause! And if you have the ID channel, check out her show!  : )
