Don't make crooked the straight

Acts 13.1-12 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and… Continue

Who Will Speak Up For The Unborn?

One of the great things about having a blog is I can express how I am feeling and what I am thinking and put it in writing. Right now my voice is for the unborn who are being killed by abortion everyday in this country and around the world. They don't have a voice. They can't defend themselves before they are slaughtered. They can't plead their case to anyone because they have no voice. Someone has to speak… Continue

Abortion opponents receive death threats

Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, says the number of threats has increased since the slaying of George Tiller. Three Wichita-based anti-abortion groups say they have received death threats in response to last month's killing of George Tiller.

For years, Operation Rescue has received threats, but the number increased markedly after Tiller's killing, the group's president, Troy Newman, said Thursday. Some of the threats have been aimed at anti-abortion activities planned in… Continue

Reading Pro-Abortion Books

I am going to try and read a couple of books from the pro-abortion perspective. One is about a woman who tries to justify why she became an abortionist. The other is about the so-called "terrorist" actions by those of us who abhor the killing of babies. I can only read a few pages before I have to put the books down. But I will try and finish them so I can maybe understand how the enemy works.

No, I will not reveal the titles of the books because I don't want to promote them.

OH HOW THEY LOVE EACH OTHER

This past week was a difficult one for the Body of Christ here in my area of the world. A man who was a devoted Christian who was 49 was killed in a motorcycle accident avoiding a moose. I did not know him, but his son who is 15 is part of my Wednesday night prayer group. This young man got up in front of over 100s of people and shared his heart, and his faith and trust in the Lord along with his 22 year old sister who was the one who prayed him… Continue

Mumbo-Jumbo Time (Chameleon Logic)

From My Perspective - - -

Language is a vital tool for communicating accurately and clearly with one another. However, it does seem as though some use language to either blur or obfuscate (to make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; to render indistinct or dim; darken). This can be illustrated by the “mice print” in contracts. It takes considerable magnification to be discernible and/or readable. The reality is that most do not take the time, or… Continue

Peace

Over the past year, I've developed an anxiety (again) in the car, whether it's driving or riding. I had this once before in my life during college, when I was in a dating relationship that wasn't healthy. I was a believer then and am now. I went through counseling then for anxiety and depression and for healing from past hurts in my childhood life that I was remembering and coming to terms with. I had been free from anxiety for over 2 years. Around Christmastime, and after being married last… Continue

GRACE

As I was looking at all the beautiful and interesting blogs I never saw the word "grace". Grace... Amazing grace, what a song.

THAT'S FOR SURE! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! However, there are so many "graceless… Continue

A Double Standard That Kills

HOW COME AMERICA?

We brake for animals

We save the seals and

Protect the whales

We declare some birds endangered species

We even recycle to save the Earth

But we MURDER our unborn children?

A great gap appears in the otherwise consistent opinions of the left about preserving life.

These opinions are:

Anti-nuclear war

Anti-capital punishment

Anti-environmental… Continue

Faith and God's love for me.Please read.

Let me start by telling you about my childhood.I was abused in every way by my Dad. I can remember it from the time I was 6 til I was 12. I can remember at age 6 him being arrested for it but, when it was time to go to court they did nothing.I can remember swearing to tell the truth on the Bible. I also remember how my neighbors was suppose to be Christians and did nothing when they saw my Dad beating us with his fist but just turn their backs. They never once called the police or tried to… Continue

What Respected Christian Leaders Have to Say About Abortion

R.C Sproul, Abortion: a Rational Look at an Emotional Issue, 1990, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Navpress.

The Roe v. Wade decision has provoked the most serious ethical crisis in the history of the United States. This is the nadir in American jurisprudence, the moment of the state's greatest failure to be a state. (pp. 91-2)

Resistance to unjust laws and dehumanizing practices may be costly. Those who resisted Hitler's policy of genocide in Germany often paid with their… Continue

Who is Earnest?

Good Day! Did you have a chance to read about the gift of encouragement yesterday? It is the gift that keeps on giving, you know. . . did you make a conscious effort to encourage someone? I pray so.

And, hey--are you thinking 'you have no idea, I'm the one that needs the encouragement right now, sister'? Well, when you get out of your own head, and encourage someone else... guess what? It brings some satisfaction your way; in fact, Proverbs 11 says that, "he who refreshes others will… Continue

Legal Doesn't Always Mean "Right"

Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court that ruled that people of African descent imported into the United States and held as slaves, or their descendants—whether or not they were slaves—were not protected by the Constitution and could never be citizens of the United States. It also held that the United States Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories. The Court also ruled that because slaves were not citizens, they could not… Continue

Thoughts on Tiller, Justifiable Homicide, and Persisting Abortionists

By Michael Bray

An article authored by a co-author of the Wrath of Angels (1998), Judy Thomas (formerly with the Wichita Eagle), is drumming for the feds to criminalize the speech of anti-abortionists who cannot and will not deny that the child in the womb is worthy of the defensive action (protection by force) and that any citizen has the right to take such action.

Read the propaganda and the hate speech fulminating from Tiller's fellow late-term… Continue

My Mission

I speak for the 4,000 unborn babies who have no voice.
For the 4,000 unborn children whose lives will be snuffed out today,
Tomorrow,
And the next day.
It matters not to me if you agree or disagree.
God is my judge.
Not you.

Does Anyone Care?

Abortion has become a "back burner" issue. People are concerned about their jobs, the economy, health care, terrorism, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and other issues. I understand that. My wife has been out of a job for over a year. I understand. And we have an administration in Washington that seems to me to be making things worse.

So why should anyone care about abortion? Because it is NOT just another issue. Babies are being murdered. 4,000 a day.

When people tell me… Continue
