“40 Days For Life” will be back out in the streets with us again this year at abortion mills in over three hundred cities.  This is, by in large, a Catholic organization that takes great umbrage over the graphic signs we bring to the gates of hell.  Most are very sweet folks who are doing their very best to be a voice for voiceless children.  Most have no clue as to the Gospel battle we fight in the strong Name of Jesus – but they are there. 

Daniel and Angela Michael have been “40 Days For Life” coordinators at the abortion mill in Granite City for the past three years.  They will not be doing so this year.  Here is their reason why.  ~ Flip

 

THE PAY TO PRAY SCAM

1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires……

by Angela Michael

After taking part in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigils for almost three years, we finally realize that it is ridiculous to make people pay $197.00 to be a part of the 40 Days for Life Campaign. Understand, we have been holding prayer vigils, and through the ultrasound van helping moms and saving babies for almost 20 years on a daily basis, just like a lot of other faithful pro-lifers across the United States.  So, why would we pay money to pray outside of an abortion clinic? 

Now don’t get me wrong.  We went into this with the best intentions over three years ago with our first campaign. It’s always good to get a multitude of prayer warriors outside facilities where children are scheduled to die.  However, charging money to do what our ministry has been doing for two decades for FREE sounds more like a scam.  For, the only thing you get is access to the 40 Days main website and modules.  That’s all.  No shirts, no banners, no signs. We had to pay extra for all our materials, so another organization made money too.

The real reason for the “praying fee” appears to be, sadly, that David Bereit, the National Director for 40 Days for Life, needs to make a $94,000 salary, and that Shawn Carney, campaign director, can collect $20,000 at last report.  When I questioned Mr. Carney about this he said, “40 Days for Life spends $800 on each participant in the 40 Days for Life Campaign.  ” If you multiply 1,500 participants by $800 that’s $1.2 million. In 2009, they only reported taking in $400,000.  Something smells fishy.

Question:  has the pro-life movement become a bottomless money pit?  A modest salary would be okay, but $94,000 is ridiculous.  If you need to charge people to cover your expenses, that’s fine, but to make an outrageous salary like that is ludicrous.

That’s why if all abortion came to an end today, there would be pro-lifers jumping off their buildings as they would be losing their salaries, their social status, their titles, etc.  Unfortunately, raising money has become the pro-life movement’s main objective;  they have lost their focus. Instead of prevention, they are there to perpetuate it.  

Another instance is taking claim to closing abortions mills, which is a great thing, but let’s give credit,  where credit is due.  God does indeed answer prayers, but there are other things that factor into the closing of a lot of child killing facilities, not just 40 Days.  For instance, a lot of these abortion centers are losing federal funding and the struggling economy is also playing a part.  Also, it’s not as easy to find abortionists anymore .  Let’s face it, it’s the red light district of medicine and that’s a stretch.  Most real, reputable physicians don’t want to be associated with abortion or it’s industry.  So, it’s making it harder to find skilled baby killers.  Anytime we see another abortion clinic close it’s doors, it’s good; but to charge money to do what all Christians should be doing, for those without a voice… well, that’s just plain wrong.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.

Dr. Pat McEwen, Pastor Mike Warren, and Dave Lackey are preparing for a major Gospel missions trip to Poland, Turkey, and the Netherlands this November and December. If you would like to join them or help them in their ministry to bring the Gospel of Life into lands that desperately need Christ, please read on in their Turkey Mission Letter. ~ Flip

I just spoke with Tom Radell this afternoon, September 17, 2011.  He said that the lead doctor in little Emmi’s case has looked again at the bone marrow transplant scans and believes that the transplant might actually be working.  If this is true it is wonderful news.

Thank you for your prayers.  Please don’t stop praying.

We will keep you posted.

 In Christian love,

We received some disheartening news from Tom Raddell this afternoon. Please continue praying for his granddaughter Emmi and the entire Raddell family during this difficult time. Here is Mike Warren’s report. ~ Flip

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

We just received news that the medical crisis that Tom Raddell’s granddaughter Emmi is facing has escalated. Over the past weeks Emmi has been going through preparations for a bone marrow transplant and recently had the actual transplant.. News was received today that this transplant has not taken and Emmi is in difficult straits. It is uncertain that her little body can take the necessary preparation and another transplant procedure. Please pray for Emmi and the Raddell family. Especially Emmi’s parents who are facing the stress of caring for and walking their little one through this, while caring for their home and other child. These last weeks they have been with Emmi at the hospital in Minnesota. Pray for grandparents, Tom and Jeannie, as they look to be a source of strength for their son and daugher-in-law.

Jeannie is just now returning home after out of town with the family these last few weeks. May this dear family find comfort in the everlasting strong arms of our dear Lord and Savior.

In Jesus,

Mike Warren

Everywhere we turn these days we are finding that the Obama Administration is ramping up efforts to remove the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the gates of hell, by calling it “violent hate speech.”   What better way to give evil free reign in our streets.  Here is just one more example of the insidious nature of our government’s desire to censor Christ at the very places where He is needed most.  God help us!  Click here to read this story via lifenews.com  ~ Flip

 

 This just out in this month’s prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry.  A new “meta-analysis” (combining 22 studies of 877,181women, 161,831 of whom had abortions) done by Priscilla Coleman of Bowling Green University may just change the urgency with which you preach Christ at abortion mills.  The stunning results of this analysis will shock you and turn the fraudulent studies of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) on their heads.  Click here to read this report via americanthinker.com    ~ Flip

OSA-CT Street Report

August 2011 Stats for Bridgeport:
99 Babies were killed by surgical abortion (not counting medical and chemical abortions)
8 babies were spared
5 salvations (PTL! thank you Jesus! )

“The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

This is a little boy, Jeremiah, saved at Planned Parenthood in New Haven. He has been given up for adoption to a Christian family! The most loving thing a mother can do when she feels she cannot handle another child is to give her baby to a loving family, instead of killing her baby in the womb at an abortion mill. I thank God that Jasmine did the right thing. Keep her in your prayers and all her other children. Evelyn, her mother, came to church with her three grandchildren.

Please pray for all the children that have been saved. Since 1990, 2162 babies have been saved that we know of and 396 salvations! God is so good to us to allow us to co-labor with him in His work. It is an honor and a privilege!

——————————————————————————–

This is TJ. His mom was 14 years old when we met her at the Summit on Middle Street in 1992. We helped her make the decision to choose life for her son. We recently paid his expenses to get him to his college in Niagra, New York after he received a basketball scholarship. His grandmother raised him to be a fine young man. We are so proud of him. We sent him a study bible and he said he would read it everyday. Pray that God puts mature Christian friends in the dorm for him.

——————————————————————————–

Here’s an updated picture of the twin girls, Megan and Morgan, born August 3rd with their sisters. Five beautiful girls, what a blessing!

——————————————————————————–

We have an ideal situation in front of the abortion mill to pass out gospel literature and lead people to the Lord. Danny gives out hundreds of tracts weekly at this location and Wendee has done the same across the street . God is comical, he put a bus stop and a methadone clinic right near us. It is a harvest ground.

——————————————————————————–

This is Brian, he is five years old, he is a saved baby. His mom brought him to come visit us on Saturday.

Every child is such a precious gift from God!

——————————————————————————–
Please pray for the man in the picture above. He has been harassing us for a while driving by and beeping his horn and yelling out obscenities. This Friday he over did it and was arrested. The court date is Sept 22, please pray that justice will be done.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

——————————————————————————–

HELP: We need a crib for Sharelle’s baby girl that was born in April, if you can help with this please let me know. Plus we would like to help Patricia find a rent to stay with her four grandchildren. Patricia is TJ’s grandma pictured above. She currently lives in Norwalk at a relatives house and they all sleep in one bedroom. If you know of any reasonable rents let us know ASAP.

Come join us every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings from 8 AM- 10 AM as we reach out to moms that find themselves where they should not be. We will be there until the killing stops. The gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church. We are the Church. Jesus is our head and we are His body. We are His hands, his feet, his mouthpiece on the earth until he comes back. Just show up and see what God will do.

For the Least of These,

Please pray for the folks that took such great care of us at our hotel in Orlando.  Since we left, there have been some terrible things happening there.  This just in from Miss Pat. ~ Flip

The area we were in has been in the news a lot lately and I think we should pray for the people we met there.

· Last week there was a fatal shooting at a hotel ( Best Western) right up Orange Blossom Trail (OBT) from us.

· Tuesday the Sunoco station right up OBT, that has the MacDonald’s in it,( we stopped one night after rally) was the scene of a fiery crash – a young mother on drugs drove right into a gas pump and it exploded.  Onlookers were able to drag her and her baby out of the car.  They showed it and it was a huge fire ball!!

· Tonight the section of OBT near the hotel is closed down because of a three car crash where three people were killed instantly and two more are critical.  We all know how scary that road can be with I-4 coming off right there.  

Miss you all- can’t wait until Feb!

Miss Pat

See the new and serpentine ways Granite City is seeking to silence the Gospel of Christ at its most favored business – the abortion mill.  ~ Flip

BANNED IN GRANITE

“City of Slaughter” latest ploy to silence the truth

Isaiah 59:14 “So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance: Truth has stumbled into the streets and honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.”

There are three things that Granite Cityabhors: homeless people, couches on front porches, and pro-life activists; and all three have been banned from this deplorable town. That is how the gestapo and city officials deal with the issue of abortion. Rather than deal with the message, they attack the messenger. All three are treated as “undesirables”. For years now, many editorials have been written pointing out the war Granite Cityhas declared upon freedom of speech and pro-lifers. These editorials have called for the city to address the real problem, that being the abortion industry in clear eyeshot of city hall. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=41803)  

Over 400,000 babies have been slaughtered in this city since 1974. Many women have been butchered, some have died, and lawsuits have been filed. Far too many underage girls have been brought over state lines to “get rid of the evidence” from child rapists; underreporting is rampant. (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53013 ) Short of calling it a “drug cartel”, there seems to be a constant problem inside Hope Clinic with substance abuse, missing drugs, theft, and petty crimes by abortion mill staffers. Meanwhile, city officials have tried beautifying this blue-collar, gritty town with million dollar makeovers, but you can’t cover up a cancer and expect it to go away. How can God bless a city that allows the slaughter of thousands of innocent babies? Their blood cries out from the ground, Genesis 4:10.

Today as we pulled up to the crime scene outside theMidwest’s largest, late-term baby dumping mill, we viewed three blocks of handicapped-only parking. The only entrance to the hospital on this side of the street already has ample handicapped parking spaces nearby. This means our vital ultrasound/pregnancy resource van will have to find parking two blocks over from the slaughterhouse.

We had heard rumblings over the spring and even a month ago that half of our street in front of the abortion mill was sold to the hospital from the city through closed door negotiations. If one Granitonian would have been invited to that meeting and opposed, it would have been thwarted. Thus, half of 21st street has been paved into a parking lot. Funny thing is the hospital employee lot just west of the mill is half bare. This is just the latest “ploy” to attempt to dissuade our lifesaving efforts and pregnancy resource outreach to mothers and babies in need. Let’s face it: there is no free help or hope in Granite City.                                                                                                          (http://www.smallvictoriesusa.com/Articles/2007/Unwelcomed%20in%20Granite%20City%20May%2007.html )

There is another hands-on-ministry, Jesus’ Place, a store front soup kitchen and worship center led by Pastor Larry. Through the years, he has struggled with funding and political persecution from city officials and police in order to be a refuge for the homeless and hungry who find themselves wandering in the City ofSlaughter. They, too, are unwelcomed. Thus,Granite Citydeals with them by giving the homeless “river rides” or “wharf rides”. TheGranite Citygestapo beats them up, drives them over to the Mississippi Riverfront, and drops them off after removing their shoes and throwing them into the river, ultimately making it harder for the homeless to walk their way back to the City ofSlaughter. So much for being our brother’s keeper.

This leads me to the third unwelcomed subject inGranite City: ratty porch couches. Personally, they are just part of the mosaic of Granite City, not much of a threat or dangerous. Enough said. The real blight is the abortion mill which draws all 50 states to its doors. It speaks volumes when a corrupt city can take public parking away from the only resource for pregnant women and their babies that are scheduled to die that day. We have been targeted by police. It tells others how powerful that ultrasound van and the ministry are when a city must ban them from the streets. Over 19 years of daily ministering and witnessing, the devil has tried everything to deter and get rid of us, but we were called for such a time as this. Whether we have a street or not, we will still be there, rescuing babies, saving lives, and making a difference inGranite City.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

God will use this for His glory too.

 Be encouraged ~Angela

Yes, Muslims do believe in Jesus, but not the Jesus of the Bible. They refuse to believe that He was crucified, buried and raised from the dead. If Jesus is not raised from the dead then we are still in our sins and our faith is in vain.

In the ten years since the horror of 9/11 we have learned a lot about the “religion” Islam.  Our media and our government have portrayed Islam as a religion of “peace.”  President Obama and President Bush have said the same. 

But is it?  Is it simply a “peaceful religion” hijacked by extremists, or is it a monstrous and murderous worldview that makes people demons, filled with hate and devoid of reason?

My gift to you on this tenth memorial of 9/11 is to remind you of the violent ways of Islam.  And to open your eyes to the hand that is wielding it.  You may be surprised. 

Over the past ten years, we have been privileged to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to several mosques across the country.  This summer we stormed the gates of hell at the largest mosque in Central Florida and we noticed something very odd.  They had just put up five signs, sponsored by the Islamic Society of Central Florida, on the large fence surrounding the mosque.  It was an attempt to “Americanize” Islam and make it appear, well, …. Nice.   

Only Jesus is God. Apart from Him there is no other. Muhammad is a false prophet.

These signs, however, are very revealing.  Islam is doing its level best to cover its real identity and appear to be a peaceful, kind, and tolerant religion.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Our media and government are part of this scam.  Islam is a wolf trying to look like a lamb.

There is just something about Islam that turns precious people, whom God created in His own image, into wild grinning beasts that attack whatever moves.  Islam is not just a religion, it is a nation.  And every mosque is a headquarters for war.  It has a political and religious philosophy where the church rules the state, a military plan called Jihad, and a governing ordinance called Shariah law.  It has one god, Allah (not the God of the Bible), one prophet, Muhammad (an illiterate murderer and pedophile), and one cause – to dominate the world under the name of Allah.  It is known as the nation Islam.  It is a spawn of the devil and a breeding ground for “hate.”  

Adherents to Islam, known as Muslims, have a sworn allegiance to their false god, Allah; to their false prophet, Muhammad; and to their false book, the Quran.  No matter where Muslims are located geographically, they may never assimilate into another society.  If they do, they become worse than an infidel and a fatwa is issued for their death.  Their allegiance must always remain first and foremost to Allah and his prophet Mohammed. 

There is no way that a true Muslim can become a good American citizen.  To do so would be to deny Allah and his prophet Muhammad.  The only time it is permitted to act like or become a citizen of another country is to be involved in Taqquia (one is allowed to lie to further the cause of Allah).  Yes, Muslims can and do lie in the name of Allah.  Sound like a religion from hell to you?       

Muslims don't really believe this. They hate Jews, Christians and all that do not bow to Allah.

Yes, Islam is a nation birthed in the very pit of hell, through the drug induced visions of the prophet Mohammed in 622 A.D.  It has brought untold chaos, murder, mayhem, slavery, and violence into the world.  It is the devil’s instrument to rob, kill, and destroy.  It is filled with fury and its drug of choice is hate.  Hate is the driving force of Islam.  It causes people to strap bombs to themselves and blow-up innocent men, women, children, and infidels.  It causes mothers to surrender their children to do the same.  God put it very succinctly in Proverbs 8:36, “…all who hate me love death.”  Islam hates God.

Yet the devil that drives this religion of hate remains Almighty God’s devil.  He is on a leash and can only go so far.  Today, God is using Islam as His chastening rod to turn America back to himself.  Surprised?

Yes, God can use even His enemies to accomplish His grand purposes.  Islam is the rod God has chosen to bring His justice and judgment to America that she may repent and return to Him.  But only those with eyes to see (not CBS, ABC, NBC, or Fox News) can see this truth.  The tragedy of 9/11 was to bring us to repentance. 

That’s right!  America has turned her back upon the God of the Bible.  Mayor Bloomberg is not inviting the God of our Founding Fathers (Jesus) to the tenth anniversary memorial of 9-11 in New York City .  What does God have to do with anything?  This God-hating Mayor; rabidly pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, and pro any religion but Christianity, is a frothing supporter of a mosque to be built two blocks from Ground Zero.  God’s kindness over these past ten years has been meant to bring us to repentance.  Instead, we have slapped Him in the face.     

 

Quoting from the Quran. This is so utterly absurd and historically inaccurate that if defies all logic.

Yes, America has forgotten the One who has blessed her in so many ways and made her great and freer than any nation on the face of this earth.  Today, we are living in a nation that is murdering God’s children (abortion), calling that which is evil good (homosexuality), and prostrating Christianity to the level of every other religion (Islam).  These three; abortion, homosexuality, and Islam, are physical manifestations of the gates of hell.  They are the most visible manifestations of God’s judgment upon us all.

If God is our problem, then we have a mighty big problem.  Neither the Republican Party nor the Tea Party can get us out of this fix.  Our enemies are now ruling over us, our wealth is being completely drained, we have become a laughingstock to the world.  The smallest of nations can put us to flight.  Oh, what to do?

The answer is simple.  Children can understand it.  We adults can’t because we say, “It’s complicated.”  But it is not complicated at all.  God makes it very clear in His Word, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14.  This is God’s promise to all who call upon His Name.  So what are we waiting for?  Let’s join together in public repentance and cry out to the only One who can save us.  If God is our problem there is hope, for He desires mercy, not sacrifice.  Matthew  9:13.

But note this.  We must turn from our wicked ways before we can expect any help from Him.  We must confess that God is right and that we are wrong in three crucial areas: abortion, homosexuality, and Islam.  If America is ever to be healed, these three sins must be publicly repented of. 

This was showing on the mosque marquis. Which Jesus? The one in your imagination and Quran or the One true God of History found only in the Holy Bible?

Neither Republicans nor Conservatives want to deal with these sins.  We know where Democrats stand.  But our supposed “friends” shoot us in the back every time they are elected.  They are pretend salt.  They will not stand for Christ and have never found a cause for which they are willing to die. 

They will never stand upon the Word of God.  They run from it.  They just want the election in 2012 to be about the economy.  Just listen to Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove, Dana Farina, ad nauseam.  They want our vote but they don’t want our voice.  Our government, no matter who is elected, is not able to save us from the judgment of Almighty God and the disaster that is coming, “for our God is a consuming fire.”  Hebrews 12:29.  He has more disaster than our government has relief.  Government cannot save us from God.

The rise of Islam in our nation over these past ten years has been meteoric.  It has garnered for itself the most protected and “favored religion” status.  Much the same as homosexuality has become the most protected and “favored life-style” in America .  And the abortion industry has won for itself the most protected and “favored business” status.  Indeed the enemies Of God’s church are ruling over her.  Jesus told us this would happen if the salt lost its savor.  Matthew 5:13.  God is using all three of these enemies of Christ as a rod to chastise the sorry estate of His church and our nation.  But we can repent.  And true repentance will look like this:

“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, …See what this Godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done…” 2 Corinthians 7:10-11.

1.      We must declare that all children born and pre-born are living human beings at biological beginning and therefore have an innate right to life and are to be protected under the color of law.  “Personhood!”

2.      We must declare that homosexuality is a sin against God, our own bodies, and our fellowman.  It brings destruction to those who practice it, and destruction to nations that approve of it.       

3.      We must declare that the willful prostration of Christianity to the level of every other religion is a sin that cries out to heaven and is a violation of the very 1st Commandment given by God to Moses.  This syncretistic idea that all religions are the same is an affront to the only One and True God, Jesus Christ.   

True repentance will be lived out like this:  Personal Intervention

We are always at the abortion mills bringing the Gospel of Christ to the gates of hell and intervening on behalf of children being led away to slaughter.  We are also at “Gay” Pride events wherever and whenever they may raise their ugly heads, bringing the theology of the church house into the streets and allowing it to become biography.  We love those enslaved in homosexual sodomy enough to tell them the liberating truth that only Christ can set them free.  Finally, we have been bringing the gospel of Christ headlong into the gates of hell at local mosques and Muslim gatherings.  Jesus Akbar! 

This past Wednesday morning, August 31, 2011, we attended the celebration of Eid UL Fitr (the end of Ramadan fast) held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Uptown Charlotte.  Thousands of Muslims gathered at this convention center in Uptown to honor their false god Allah.  We gathered to honor the only true God, Jesus.  We carried signs and brochures into the battle.  One sign read “Jesus Is the Truth,” the other, “Islam is a Lie.”  As we began to preach about the God (Jesus) who made this nation great and free, the rage and hatred in the hearts of these “peaceful” Muslims began to manifest.  Freedom of speech is not treasured in Islamic Shariah law. 

From out of the abundance of their hearts, their mouths began to speak.  “You are a Jew!  You are gay!  You are stupid!  You are a homeless person!  You are a clown!”  I must say that I was astonished at their blatant anti-semitism and ad hominem (name-calling) attacks.  They pushed, jostled, and bullied, trying to make the meanest “Arab street face” possible, but the preaching of the gospel continued.  Richard Pope was on the other side of the building from me “givin ‘em heaven in Jesus’ name.”

Richard has been a great friend to this ministry, to his city, to his nation, and to Jesus’ precious preborn children.  He was attacked and knocked unconscious while preaching the gospel of Christ on a public sidewalk outside the NASCAR Hall of Fame.  His crime?  Bringing the Word of God to those lost in the bondage of Islam.

After the event was over and most of the Muslims had left, a Charlotte policeman came up to me and informed me that Richard had been knocked out and was in an ambulance.  Isaac Yoder and I immediately made our way around the huge NASCAR building to the ambulance.  They would not allow us to see or talk with Richard until they were relatively sure he was OK.  When he finally got out of the ambulance he was still a bit woozy but he recounted his story to us.

“I was preaching and the next thing I remember, I was on the ground in front of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.  I wondered why I was there.  I called my daughter on my cell phone and asked her why I was at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and she said, ‘Daddy, you are there for the end of Ramadan fast.  Don’t you remember?  Are you all right?  It was then that I got my bearings and realized that something happened to me.  I was told by witnesses that a man stopped his car, got out and came up on my blind side and punched me for all he was worth.  I never saw a thing.  He then ran back to his car and took off.  The police got his license plate number.”

“I feel so honored to be walking in the same steps as the apostles, disciples, and those in the great cloud of witnesses, who ran the race of faith before me.” 

Our update as of September 7, 2011, is that the NASCAR Hall of fame has the video tape of three Muslim young men between the ages of 18-20 watching Richard for about 15 minutes.  They talked to him and warned him that if he kept it up he was going to get hurt.   It appears that two of them went to get their car and, when they drove up to the front door of NASCAR, the one left behind attacked Richard from his blindside.

He ran to the car and it sped off.  This is obviously a “Hate Crime,” yet the Charlotte Police Department is treating it as if it were nothing.  I assure you that if the shoe had been on the other foot….hmmmm! 

If one is a Christian and heralds the claims of Christ at a Muslim gathering, he is an Islamophobe spewing “hate speech.”  If one is a Christian and proclaims the name of Jesus at a “Gay Pride” event, he is a homophobe and quoting the Bible is considered “hate speech.”  If one is a Christian and brings the gospel to the gates of hell at an abortion mill, he is a hate-filled stalker, shoving signs and literature into the faces of innocent folks desiring to kill their children.  America has been turned upside down.  That which is evil is being called good.

Is it any wonder then, that ten years ago nineteen men with box cutters brought this nation to its knees as they crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon, and into the ground in Shanksville , Pennsylvania ?  Over three thousand people were killed on that fateful September day – 9/11/01.  That is approximately the same as the number of children killed every day by abortion.  Was this a coincidence or was it the hand of God?

“See, the Lord is coming out of His dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins.  The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no more.”  Isaiah 26:21.

God has not been silent about the wholesale slaughter of His preborn children.  Can we hear Him now?

Has our risen Lord and Savior Jesus not been patient with us?  His delay in bringing His judgment of total annihilation upon America should not be mistaken as His approval of what we are doing.  We are not getting away with anything.  The Bible sums it up best in this way,  “Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?”  Romans 2:4.
