The weekend-long lustfest offers seminars on sex, fetish performances, question-and-answer sessions about the commercial sex industry, and meet-and-greets with dozens of porn stars. I pray we will admit we don’t know the first thing about love, and instead find ourselves on bent knees, weeping, waiting dependent on God to show us.Dallas, Texas - Exxxotica “does Dallas,” the weekend of August 7 through 9. The triple-X rated sexpo, open to anyone aged 18 and up, bills itself as the “largest adult event in the USA dedicated to love & sex.” But not everyone agrees that the upcoming three-day sextravaganza belongs in the “Big D.” I’m ready for living sermons.but living the Gospel is messy and hard and uncomfortable. We still grumble and moan and yell.we’re still stingy with our time and money, thinking more about our vision and agenda for growing an organization than we do grieving for the afflicted. Jesus hasn’t come back yet, which means that we aren’t ready for him. They do all their deeds to be seen by others….Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in peoples faces.” They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.

Reminder: it is His kindness that leads to repentance. The lowness makes perfect sense now: the darkness didn’t want us to fight this oppression, to see such hate from the “religious right”. My blood pressure skyrockets as I plaster a smile on my face. He’s being infused with hate and standing totally exposed to the industry. Men, women, and even a few children take part in the hateful protest outside of the Dallas Convention Center.one 10-year-old boy stands yelling at semi-nude porn stars for 6 hours. The biggest bulldog, muscles bulging, yells: “You’re lost! If YOU think you’re saved, you are losing your salvation as soon as you walk in those doors!” The oppression in the air hangs as heavy as Vaseline. Both incredulous and militant, they scream, “Jesus loves strippers?! Jesus does NOT love your whores!” Just like that, we’ve been labeled as their enemy. ”Īs soon as they see us, their tone shifts. The protesters hold many signs, but the worst reads, “ You deserve rape. Over and over it hammers away, violently slapping an angry hand against the Word.
