"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesian 2:8-9 (NIV)
We are not that cool or special. We get to heaven by grace given by God and no other way. There is nothing we can do to get heaven on our own, no good deed is good enough. So when we judge others we put ourselves above others and that's no very Christian like and that's not what God would want.
Ministries like mine test our faith so much because it tests if we judge. It'll be so easy to judge anybody in the industry. I often wondered why anyone would be in the industry but I learned there are so many reasons. Some girls want to take control of their sexuality. According to some reports 96% of all women in the industry have been sexually abused as children or teenagers. When that happens to a woman she may feel like she wasn't in control of their sexuality and so they may try to take control of their sexuality by being in the industry.
Others may just be frustrated by men and dating. All women have been there. We have so much we put up with in dating between creeps and all the other losers. We have so many options of how to deal with the disappointments but some ladies decide that they are tired of men using them or letting them down that they decide to use men for their benefit.
Don't judge these ladies because you don't know what they are going through or what they've been through. We all have a past and unique stories that lead us to where we are today and the good news is that whatever we have done doesn't count with grace. Grace can cover a multitude of sins. When we feel like we are so far gone and unloveable God is there with grace to say that he does love us no mater what!
