First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. (1 Timothy 2:1-6 ESV)
(LOL, betcha never thought you'd see a Calvinistic Christian quote that verse...) ;-)
Pray that she repent and receive the gospel. Pray that she be given GOOD spiritual advisors, not the junk new-age advisors of today.
If we pray for Paris, shouldn't we also pray for all celebrities? They clearly help to lead America...
I dropped her an evangelistic/encouraging message on her MySpace page, I have no idea whether she will actually receive it but SOMEONE should, which is a kewl thing, maybe they'll read the message and repent/believe (hey, I can hope!).
Anyone have any idea how to better reach her? Leave comments below...
Update: here is the jail website. Currently, this is her address, but it is expected to change on June 26th so get your letters in the mail ASAP!
Paris Hilton, #9818783
11705 S. Alameda St.
Lynwood, Ca. 90262
Be sure to read the mailing guidelines. Particularly these guidelines:
With respect to photographs and computer-generated pictures, the following will apply:
* A maximum number of five (5) photographs are allowed (inmates are only allowed to possess five (5) photographs at any time)
* Photographs or computer generated pictures must be a minimum of 2”x3” and a maximum of 4"x6" size
It's because of those guidelines that I didn't insert a tract, didn't want to take a chance that it wouldn't get into her hands. Besides, it seemed to me that a short personalized note would be more meaningful. Here's what I sent:
Paris,
Only you know whether you are really seeking God out, but I'm praying for you either way.
Jesus Christ died to save sinners (of whom I am the foremost!).
Every person alive has at some point in their life
lied,
stolen,
hated (which God sees as murder, Matthew 5),
lusted (which God sees as adultery, Matthew 5 again),
blasphemed His name,
coveted,
dishonored their parents
and failed to place Him first in their life.
Every person alive deserves wrath for sinning against God. No amount of good works can atone.
I pray that you find the forgiveness that is ONLY available in Jesus Christ. His perfect sacrifice paid the penalty for everyone who would believe.
Please, Paris, seek Jesus! He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Chris de Vidal
Please pray that this gets into her hands!
