I have long followed the ministry that is xxxchurch and admired how they have been in the trenches for quite a few years now.  The ministry was created by Craig Gross and Mike Foster, and even though Mike has gone on to other ministries, Craig is still rockin’ the porn shows telling the people there that Jesus loves them.  This is something that I can really get behind.  Too often, we as Christians, tend to judge and condemn those in the industry, while secretly supporting it through our internet activity.  The guys and gals at xxxchurch have decided to stand in the gap and try to show Christ’s love to the people in the industry and at the same time provide help to provide resources for people struggling with porn addiction. If you get a chance to check them out, head over to xxxchurch and see what they are doing. And if you feel led, make a donation so that they can continue to be Jesus to those that are suffering.

Question:  Why have we as a society become so enamored with telling everyone what we are doing and where we are?

Think about that for a bit.

With applications like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and others, we can let people know what we are doing every second of the day.  I’m not knocking the technologies.  I’m a member of and take advantage of them all (except Foursquare…haven’t gotten into that one yet).  I just find it ironic that we enjoy all of these things in an age where we scream at the top of our lungs about privacy and how Big Brother is always watching us or tapping our phone lines or spying on us through our computers.  Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t support any of those activities.  Fact of the matter is, Big Brother can save a lot of that “stimulus” money by cutting their surveillance budget.  Dude, all you gotta do is monitor Twitter feeds and Foursquare locations to find out where and what people are up to.

So, I guess the better question is:  Why do we complain about invasions of privacy when we so freely publish the minutiae of our lives?
