She was one of Las Vegas’ top prostitutes until the cocaine, the abortions, and the abuse caught up with her. That’s when she met Jesus.
The founder of Hookers for Jesus talks about her life and her new book, “Fallen.” Hookers For Jesus is an outreach on the Las Vegas strip to sex trafficking victims and sex industry ladies.

I haven’t been sleeping well and am feeling really dragged low today. But my Bible reading today included James 1:12. It helped a lot to be reminded that I don’t have to be happy or productive. I just have to not be a bitch about how bad I feel! LOL

I have heard the term “alt-right”, but had no idea what it really meant until I read this. And now I’m horrified and much more understanding of why Democrats think they can characterize people like me as being neo-Nazis.
“Richard Spencer is the neo-Nazi who runs AltRight.com and has been attempting to hijack the conservative movement by cheerleading Donald Trump while promoting the same weird racial theories that gave rise to the Third Reich.”
“We should recognize that the pro-life movement—this is not the alt-right, this has nothing in common with identitarians, and I think we should be genuinely suspicious of people who think in terms of human rights and who are interested in adopting African children and bringing them to this country.” – Richard Spencer

From Matt Walsh:
Christ does call you to give to the poor, but take note of that word: you. You need to give. You. Personally. Physically. Of your own free will and volition. Christ is not outlining a budget proposal or advocating for a certain form of government.
He did not say, “I was hungry and you lobbied your political representative to write a piece of legislation that will appropriate money from your neighbor and, after a portion of it is siphoned off for other purposes, and much of it is wasted on fraud and abuse, a certain small percentage was used to fund programs that would eventually give me food.”
The New Testament would be, like, 600 pages longer if this is how Christ approached things. Luckily, He was far more direct.
What He actually said was simple: “I was hungry and you gave me food.”
As in, you saw a hungry person and right there on the spot gave him food. Or, knowing that there are a lot of hungry people in your community, you, through your own efforts, took your own money and gave it to charities that help the poor in your neighborhood.
That is what the Bible tells us to do. And do it we must.

Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.
Like grass they wither quickly; like green plants they wilt away.
– Ps 37:1-2
If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another.
– Gal 5:25-26
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory,
and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.
– Matt 16:26-27
