Finally, the cage has returned. Gonna see if I can bring my lunch time ERA back down against Seth, Gabe, and Preston.
- Every day there are an estimated 300-500 girls being sold for sex in Seattle.
- Over $40 million dollars is spent each day on prostitution by American men.
- 300,000 – 500,000 American children are at risk every year of being exploited in the sex industry
This is a video for the ministry my wife is involved in with several women from Mars Hill’s Downtown Seattle campus. If you’re in Seattle and want to learn more about the issue in the city and how you can be involved, the event is on October 19th at 7pm.
What does grace look like?
Below is an excerpt from a short article I wrote recently for Mars Hill’s weekly bulletin and blog.
Grace. It’s a word that runs counter to our human nature, one we wouldn’t have a category for without Jesus. One of the things I love about being at Mars Hill Church is hearing the incredible stories of God’s grace. I grew up in church but I never heard stories like the ones I hear at Mars Hill. The stories I’ve heard from the stage and online include:
- Marriages ravaged by porn and adultery—then restored
- Men in the military listening to sermons while on duty, deleting hard drives of porn and starting Bible studies on their bases
- Former addicts and prostitutes saved from the streets and baptized on Easter
- Community groups caring for elderly neighbors and single mothers
- Couples ministering to each other through miscarriage and infertility
- College students saved to lives not driven by performance or sex
- Men saved from using women to become husbands and fathers who love, care, and respect their wives and children.
