Catholics Withdrawing Charitable Minsitries Becasue of Equal Protection Laws for Homosexuals

As reported in the NY Times:
Catholic Charities To Withdraw Services Over Same-Sex Marriage
The fight over a proposed same-sex marriage law here heated up this week as the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said that if the law passed, the church would cut its social service programs that help residents with adoption, homelessness and health care. [...]

Like the Message, Not the Messenger (Randall Terry)

Randall Terry interrupted a town hall in Virginia hosted by Rep. Jim Moran and DNC Chair Howard Dean (http://prescriptions.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/dean-moran-draw-a-raucus-crowd-in-virginia). I watched the whole think on CNN last night and am frankly embarrassed at Randal Terry’s antics. Some of his antics are over the top:
Terry’s colleagues put on a skit with a man in an Obama [...]

“populations that we don’t want to have too many of”

Unbelievable. Read this horrible (and coldly murderous) quote from Justice Ginsburg in the NYT:
Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE [...]

30 days, pro-choice in a pro-life world

I happen to catch a show of “30 days” late last night (when I should of been sleeping), a reality show by Morgan Spurlock, about a pro-choice woman to took on the challenge of living 30 days at “His Nesting Place“, a faith-based pro-life organization (a great opportunity for ministry or help).   Watching the show [...]

Music in the Womb

Chuck Colson’s BreakPoint reports on a sequence from the PBS documentary The Music Instinct: Science and Song:
The program was an exploration of, among other things, music’s “biological, emotional and psychological impact on humans.”Part of this “exploration” included how music affects babies. If we are, as some scientists believe, “wired for music,” then babies are ideal [...]

Basketball Star Vying for Sole Custody of Pre-Born Baby….but what does it matter if mom can unilaterally murder the baby?

Story is here. Dirk Nowitzki’s girlfriend has some issues…you can read about it. As such, if she is carrying Dirk’s baby, He wants sole custody. While I disagree with lifestyle choices that brought them to this point, I give him props for wanting to raise the child.
I post this because the irony in our law [...]

Tiller Fallout

Well, a day has passed and Operation Rescue has pulled down their website due to possible ties with the suspected killer in the Tiller case. While the suspect may have been involved in some capacity, Operation Rescue clearly doesn’t support the murdering of abortion doctors.
Anyhow, I see that Eric Holder has requested federal protection for [...]

Pro-Choice=Abortion=baby torture

For those who oppose torture & are pro-choice, I ask you, how can you declare equality & justice for terrorists & lawbreakers (especially repeat offenders), & luxurious amenities in jails (like cable tv, workout gyms, etc) yet you are ok with the slaughter of innocent human babies who have committed no wrong, though you would [...]

Rising numbers of ProLifers

Newest gallup poll in May 2009 shows an increase of pro-lifers in America @ 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice. I just wonder if these same people who consider themselves pro-life also deem it so important that they vote accordingly?  Or is it one of those, “well, [...]

Which Is Worse: Waterboarding or Abortion?

I am not necessarily condoning waterboarding in asking this question. It is just a curious thing to me that the people who are most opposed to waterboarding (regardless of intent, etc) are seemingly the same folks who cherish abortion (even partial-birth abortion) as a “human right”.
Let me get this straight, some wish to come to [...]

China’s Gender Imbalance

New Study Shows China’s Population Seriously Skewed
Chinese males under the age of 20 outnumbered females of that same age range by more than 32 million in 2005, due in large part to the government’s one-child policy and its citizens’ use of sex-selection abortion and even abandonment, according to a new study in the British Medical [...]

Ashley Judd, get a clue, and a “real heart”.

I have enjoyed Ashley Judds’ performances on film but sadly, her recent confrontation of Sarah Palin has tainted my image of her sweet face.   Are you kidding me?? Is she serious?? She’s going on about how “cruel and senseless” (“It’s time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery,” said Judd [...]

Heeding the Call to Defend the “Mute” AND to Defend the Poor and Needy

Proverbs 31:8-9 (ESV) 8 Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
As I was reading Scripture today, this passage really spoke to me. The people of God are told to defend the “mute”, those [...]

TAMPA, Florida  —  Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.

John Piper: “Be Courageous, Mr. President”

Thank you Brother Piper for your powerful words to the president. I stand with you in prayer for him and for what’s best for his daughters as well.

Hippocratic Oath is Pro-Life

I made mention of this oath in a previous post, but failed to cite where this 4th Century B.C. oath made explicit mention of abortion. Here it is:
“I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman [...]

My Letter to President Obama

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
President Obama, I read your comments on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, where you wished my son and daughter well in their pursuit of a “world class education”. Thanks for your concern for my childrens’ pursuit of happiness, but I care, and I pray that my very children [...]

My Response to Obama’s Comments on 36th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

“On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose.

While this is a sensitive and often [...]

congratulations Mr. Obama. now what?

I tried to simplify the scope and depths of what was going on to my children.   Later in the evening, as I sat on my bed last night playing with my girls and watching the unfolding of the votes and then the declaration that Obama won the presidency, my stomach empty, my heart heavy, my head [...]

John Piper’s Article, “Lincoln’c Logic on Slavery Applied to Abortion”

On January 12, 2009 Samantha Heiges, age 23, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for drowning her newborn in Burnsville, Minnesota. If she had arranged for a doctor to kill the child a few weeks earlier she would be a free woman.
What are the differences between this child before and after birth that would [...]

2009 Sanctity of Life + Martin Luther King Jr. Sermon “Rescuing Life by Exposing Evil and Loving Jesus”

http://www.sovereigngracefellowship.org/topical/Life.mp3
 I just want to thank the entire congregation for their overwhelming feedback to my sermon. R.C. Sproul has lamented that many pastors choose to ignore the issue of abortion for fear of splitting the church or hurting feelings. I rejoice that this issue of abortion has actually impassioned our church, from what I can tell [...]

R.C. Sproul Quote on Pastoral Cowardice Regarding Abortion

 
“From my perspective the number one ethical issue that this nation has ever faced is the issue of abortion. Abortion is not a matter of private choice–not for the Christian who understands anything about the sanctity of life. The first century church made it very clear in their day, explicitly stating that abortion is murder. 
I’ve written [...]

It Already Begins…Obama Supporting Pro-Abortion Policies…asking Doctors to Defy Hippocratic Oath and the Declaration of Geneva

Sadly, President Obama has chosen to commemorate Roe v. Wade by reinstating taxpayer funding of abortions for NGO (Non Government Organizations) oversees. Read here.
He also is seeking to rescind the conscious clause for health care providers (link), which was supported and enacted by President Bush…see article below on Bush’s support:
Bush Admin Helps Pro-Life Doctors, Nurses [...]

I Amen Al Mohler’s Prayer for President Obama

The following is a prayer offered by Al Mohler on behalf of our 44th president. I say a loud Amen to what he prays:
Our Father, Lord of all creation, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ:  We pray today with a sense of special urgency and responsibility.  We come before you to pray for our new [...]

Obama vs. any other vote

I know this is a little late but I just had to release this thought that’s been going through my head ever since the election and I just never wrote about it but I’ll keep it short. Basically, I think, even if you didn’t vote for Obama, adversely any vote for anyone other than [...]

My Sanctity of Life Sermon Notes from 1/18/09 “Rescuing Lives by Exposing Darkness and Loving Jesus”

These notes were intended for me to preach off of and may not be formatted all that well for your reading, but I am posting them nonetheless. Included are segments from MLK’s Letter from Birmingham and several other articles.
“Rescuing Lives by Exposing Darkness and Loving Jesus”
Proverbs 24:10-12 (ESV)
10 If you faint in the day of [...]

Planned Parenthood LOVES KILLING Black Babies

As we commemorate MLK Jr’s life and legacy and also painfully recollect the anniversary of Roe V. Wade, the following video will make it painstakingly clear why all Civil Rights begin with Human Rights in the Womb. It will also show that abortion, which is considered a good in our progressive society, has actually worsened [...]

The Pro-Life Message in Horton Hears a Who

Just finished this cute movie and was shocked when the following words were uttered by Horton:

“They may be little and live on a speck, but A Person’s a person, no matter how small”

WOW!!! That is as pro-life as you can be. When the wicked kangaroo would like to kill the “speck” because of disbelief and [...]

“Bella” Movie Review…One Minute Can Change Your Life Forever

Spoiler Alert: The movie opens with the words “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what you’re going to do with your life”. The rest of the movie proceeds to tell a story of how God’s providential hand intersects the lives of Jose (a promising soccer star turned chef because of a tragedy) [...]
