Pimping For Jesus

Pimping For Jesus

By Paul Proctor / NewsWithViews.com

Pretty offensive title, isn’t it? In fact, I hope you WERE offended and winced a little when you first saw it. After all, it SHOULD be offensive to anyone who claims to love the Lord. I’m sure many were offended when Jesus called the Temple in Jerusalem “a den of thieves” before driving out the money changers and turning over their tables. It wasn’t easy for me to put the name of our precious Savior beside such an ugly word; yet, “Pimping for Jesus” is exactly what the leaders of today’s “transformed” church and “new spirituality” are doing; and I can think of no more accurate way to describe it.

What is a harlot? She’s a prostitute, right? And, isn’t a prostitute a woman that seduces passersby to join her for fun, fantasy and illusion? Does she not appeal to the flesh of potential customers by using her charm, beauty, talents and tempting attributes; adorning herself and behaving in such a way as to lure and entice prospects with promises of pleasure, delight and gratification? And, is not the “Great Harlot” spoken of in Revelation commonly accepted as the false church of the end times; the one who is confused for the Bride of Christ but is only a whore in grand disguise, pursuing, deceiving and ensnaring the world with her own religion of rebellion?
