Here is a 10 minute video from our friends Dan and Donna Holman of Doc Johnston confronting the lie of Islam and its false prophet Mohammed:  “Ten Things You Do Not Know About Islam!”

It appears that the Muslim community in Columbus, Ohio, is becoming increasingly arrogant in spreading its monstrous religion, with its false book, and its false prophet, right in the face of the Church of Jesus Christ in Columbus.  It has purchased space on three billboards around the city spreading lies about the Gospel of Christ. 

Saints from across the nation responded to a call by Coach Dave Daubenmire to allow the theology of heaven to become biography in the streets of Columbus right in front of these abominable billboards.

We pray that the Church in Columbus, Ohio, will not be silent or ashamed but will rise up in Jesus’ Name as these have and proclaim the truth of the Gospel of Christ from the roof tops.  We were born for a time such as this! ~ Flip

 

“World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.”  So says World Vision’s mission statement.

Attached are three articles -one I have written and the other two are by Art Moore of WND and Dr. Michael Brown.  Please read Art Moore and Dr. Brown’s article first, then read mine below. ~ Flip

World Vision – The Policy Change That Rocked Its World! 

by Flip Benham, 28 March, 2014

Dr. Michael Brown wrote an article concerning what our response to World Vision’s, “Statement of Repentance,” should be over the change in its hiring policy.  It is a bit premature to offer up forgiveness, however.  World Vision needs to bear the fruit of repentance.

For justice to be brought to victory (Matthew 12:20), more is required.  All in leadership of World Vision who approved of, or helped craft this abominable policy change, should be asked to step down.  Their hearts are not right before Almighty God.  This policy change was not just something that came to them on a lark.  It was carefully thought out and strategized.  World Vision was looking for the world’s approval and cash.

How can I say this?  By their actions – wisdom is known by her children.  Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  For their leadership to come up with such a subtle and surreptitious attack upon the character of Almighty God and His institution of marriage, (“Changing the employee conduct policy to allow someone in a same-sex marriage who is a professed believer in Jesus Christ to work for us makes our policy more consistent with our practice on other divisive issues”) reveals the true heart of World Vision.  It is not a pretty picture.

World Vision has become a gutless, bottom line driven, god-hating, business, which values the accolades and goodies of the World far more than despising the shame of the cross.  The evidence of true repentance (Godly sorrow) is beautifully articulated in (2 Corinthians 7: 9-11). 

“…yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance.  For you became sorrowful in the way God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.  Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.  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.  At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.”

 Is World Vision expressing worldly or Godly sorrow?  You be the judge.

Justice must be brought to victory before forgiveness is given.  Remember well, that we are to forgive as God has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13).  We must be merciful as our Father in heaven is merciful (Luke 6:36).  Mercy is only dispensed from heaven when Godly sorrow is proven true by her actions.  Worldly sorrow (I’m sorry I got caught. Now forgive me, and get me out of this mess) brings only death.

Which sorrow is World Vision demonstrating by its actions?  Too early to tell!

World Vision dug this hole.  The leadership had been tossing around this, “Let’s remain above the fray and bring unity to the church,” mantra for quite some time before this ludicrous policy change was crafted.  Though they will never admit it – World Vision has become an enemy of the cross of Christ.  This is exactly what they have become!  There is sin in the camp.  This was not a “mistake.”  It was an incremental and systematic attack upon Almighty God by those who profess to love Him!

We must not act too quickly in dispensing forgiveness, when God Himself would not have us act so quickly.  Remember, we must forgive as we have been forgiven.

The world is always trying to press into its mold of forgiveness – when it is to be given, how it is to be given, and who it should be given to.  Be very careful of the world’s idea of forgiveness.  It is a false representation of God’s forgiveness.  Note:  After almost every mass shooting and murder, the media immediately runs to victims or victim’s families, shoves a microphone at them, and demands, “Do you forgive “so and so” for murdering or maiming your loved one?”

The world demands you forgive everyone, for everything, every time, immediately.  This is called love and what all good people (real Christian people) should do.  Much of God’s church has fallen into this infantile deception.  This is the most barbaric misrepresentation of God’s Word and His Person.  God calls us to forgive as He has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13).

Well, just how does God forgive?  Note that when Jesus was hanging on the cross (Luke 23:33-34) He said, “…Father forgive them for they know not what they do… .”  He did not say, “I forgive you,” even though He had been given the authority on earth to do this very thing, “But that you may know that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins… .” He said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, take up your mat and go home.” Luke 5:24.

Jesus could have forgiven them that very minute, but he didn’t.  Why not?  They had nailed Him to a cross and were waiting for Him to die.  They hated Him for exposing their sin.  They butchered Him so brutally that He didn’t even look like a man.  This is what happens when God falls into the hands of angry sinners.  There was not an iota of repentance in their evil hearts.  They just wanted Him dead.

His desire was clearly to forgive, but He never has and never will dispense His forgiveness upon unrepentant hearts.  Jesus could not forgive them.  They were in utter rebellion against Almighty God.  So Jesus prayed that His Heavenly Father would forgive them.  That perhaps, after they realized what they had done by nailing Him to that old rugged cross, and were cut to the heart over their sin, they might run to Him and find the forgiveness that only He could give.  Mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13) to be sure, but mercy cannot be had apart from judgment.  This is bringing justice to victory.

Jesus is a friend of sinners.  He is not a friend of victims, or of those who attempt to justify, rationalize, or outright deny their sin.  No justice – No forgiveness.  Forgiveness is found only here for World Vision.  Those that led World Vision down this path of rebellion against Almighty God must confess their sin and step down from leadership.

Justice must be done before mercy is dispensed.  If forgiveness is not rooted in this truth, it is misguided emotion and will not enlighten a soul to the danger of damnation.

Not running away from the Name of Jesus, regardless the cost.  Never fearing to put God first, and himself last.  Unashamed of the Bible and its infinite power to change the hearts of men and nations.  This short video will encourage your heart.

Enjoy!

Doc Johnson, along with our good friend Dan Becker of Georgia Right to Life, are having a huge impact on the pro-life movement nationwide.  We are finally at a place where we can unsheathe the Word of God (Personhood) and rightly represent God’s heart and mind for his precious preborn children.  It is as we loose God’s Word on earth that He will open the heavens and do exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or imagine. 

Personhood is simply the unsheathing of the Sword of the Spirit – God’s Word!  To most it appears as just an ordinary sword, another piece of pro-life legislation, but to those who see, it is not ordinary at all.

It’s just an ordinary sword, they say.  Yes, but behold the hand of the One Who wields it!

Personhood Ohio Threatening to End Abortion Statewide by 2015

 Contact: Dr. Patrick Johnston, Personhood Ohio, 740-973-7458

ZANESVILLE, Ohio, March 24, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ — Personhood movements are gaining momentum in several states, posing a major threat to legal abortion this year.

President of Georgia Right to Life Dan Becker was featured at Cleveland Right to Life’s annual conference, where he spoke on Personhood. He received a standing ovation after his lecture and volunteers gathered over 1,400 signatures for the Ohio Personhood Amendment and gave away hundreds of petitions.

Historically, Personhood movements and large pro-life groups like Cleveland Right to Life have not always walked hand-in-hand. In the 2011 campaign for Mississippi’s Personhood Amendment, the Catholic bishops were divided, with only half of them supporting the Amendment. Ohio Right to Life has not supported the Ohio Personhood Amendment and National Right to Life leaders have opposed Personhood Amendments, preferring to spend their resources regulating abortion and electing Republicans to office. In the past year, however, there appears to be a growing tsunami of support for attempts to protect every unborn child statewide in state law.

Personhood received a huge endorsement from a former Personhood opponent in North Dakota, Christopher Dodson. He is the Executive Director and General Counsel for the North Dakota Catholic Conference, the public policy voice of the Catholic bishops of North Dakota. He used to train personhood-opposing attorneys on behalf of the Catholic bishops. But not anymore.

Now, he encourages support of North Dakota’s Personhood Amendment, which will be on the ballot this November: “It gives the people of North Dakota the opportunity to decide whether the state should recognize a legal right to life for North Dakotans. A state constitutional amendment respecting the right to life is not unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that states may enact their own laws and constitutional provision to protect human life, including unborn human life. Nor is a state constitutional amendment respecting the right to life made moot by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on abortion… Let’s affirm in our state constitution that which this Legislative assembly and the people of North Dakota consistently affirmed with its own laws – that every human being has a right to life that should be respected and protected to the greatest extent possible.”

Following Esq. Dodson’s lead, the Catholic bishops of North Dakota donated $100,000 to North Dakota’s Personhood campaign.

Dr. Patrick Johnston, the family physician who directs Personhood Ohio, states, “As the Catholic bishops of Ohio have discouraged signature-gathering in their churches on the basis of some of the bad arguments that the North Dakota bishops firmly reject, pray that the Ohio bishops will now be open to protecting every preborn Ohioan in state law this year.” He says that Personhood Ohio will continue to lobby pro-life groups to endorse their Personhood Amendment and help with signature-gathering. If their goal of 385,000 signatures is reached by July, the Ohio Personhood Amendment will be on the ballot in November and a simple majority vote could protect every preborn child statewide by January 1, 2015 – including children threatened by abortifacient drugs.

Certainly, if Ohio passed their Personhood Amendment, the battle would be far from over, but it would be refreshing to see opponents of abortion unify behind a two-sentence Amendment that, for once, simply expresses what they all believe: that human life begins at conception and every person should be protected by law.

Another victory at Planned Parenthood today, March 20, 2014

Rescue Rochester has begun a shift at the downtown Planned Parenthood each Thursday for the past couple of months now.  We hold, signs, pray, and preach.  Sometimes we preach to moms and dads going into the facility, sometimes to the staff, sometimes just to the wall or to ourselves.  God’s Word is powerful!  Today, just after we left, an employee came out and crossed the street to talk to a man that has been at this site for years, praying and holding a sign.  She confessed, “Adolf, thank-you for being here and praying.  Today is my last day – I’m quitting this job!”

Hallelujah!!! 

We know that God is hearing the prayers of His people and the preaching of His Word.  He watches over His Word to perform it, as it goes forth and accomplishes His purpose.  Amen and Amen…

 Good News from our friends at American Life League (ALL).  

Enjoy!

Planned Parenthood locations, areas served sink to 40-year low

 Washington—-The latest survey of Planned Parenthood facilities in the United States shows the number of clinics and geographic areas served is the lowest number of clinics for Planned Parenthood since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973. The data was released by American Life League’s STOPP Planned Parenthood International, the nation’s leading watchdog organization on Planned Parenthood.

 “We do exhaustive research on Planned Parenthood every year,” said Jim Sedlak, vice president at ALL, the nation’s oldest Catholic pro-life group. “This marks the eighth straight year of decline in both total facilities and total affiliates. Meanwhile, taxpayer subsidies remain at record highs under the Obama administration.”

The survey found that Planned Parenthood opened 13 new facilities in 2013 and closed 48. The closures took place in 16 different states. The number has fallen from a high of 938 locations in 1995 to 872 facilities in 2005 to 695 today. About half of the locations commit surgical or medical abortions.

ALL says that the closures are not due to any single specific law or financial bill, but are part of an ever-increasing dwindling of public support for Planned Parenthood. Rob Gasper, the ALL senior researcher who conducted the survey, believes other factors are also at work. In a recent commentary, Gasper wrote:

“A look at the numbers shows a major period of decline beginning in 2007 and an acceleration in that decline in 2009. Coincidentally, two major efforts began in those two years.

“First, in 2007, 40 Days for Life launched its first national prayer and fasting effort across more than 30 states. In 2009, American Life League started the Bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary campaign.”

Gasper continued, “The battle against Planned Parenthood is not just an earthly fight. The premise is simple. Ask for God’s help. The unmeasurable God looks to be giving us a measurable answer!”

The complete 2013 Survey of Planned Parenthood Facilities can be found here.

Behind abortion and the homosexual agenda comes Islam.  Judgments all, from the hand of Almighty God, upon a nation that has been so richly blessed by Him yet turned her back on Him.  America, once so free because God shed His grace upon thee, has become a harlot of the worst sort.  “This is the way of the adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I’ve done nothing wrong.”  Proverbs 31:20.

Failure to acknowledge the fact that the salt has lost it saltiness and is presently being trampled under the feet of men rests squarely upon the shoulders of the one who proclaims  herself to be the salt of the earth – the Church of Jesus Christ!  Judgment begins here.

These judgments from God are meant to turn us back to Him – Jesus!

God bless, encourage, and strengthen the arms, of the brothers that will allow the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets of Columbus, Ohio, March 27-30.

Give ‘em heaven boys!      

Jesus is Muslim

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber” (John 10:1).

The hits keep coming. Next up, Muslims go on a campaign of deceit. Like all false religions and cults, to add legitimacy to their falsehoods, they incorporate their own version of Jesus. It is, however, not the Jesus of the Bible, but a Jesus of their imagination.

God’s Word warns of another Gospel, a different spirit, and another Jesus (Galatians 1:7, 2 Corinthians 11:14). This billboard is the poster child promoting this deception in America today. This lie cannot go unchallenged.

Coach Dave Daubenmire became aware of this defamation of character against our Lord perpetrated by Islam in America. He sent out a Macedonia call to come help. I, for one, have responded. God willing, I’ll be flying in next Thursday, March 27, and leaving out on Sunday afternoon to return home to my family.

On Friday, we will be taking the Gospel of the Kingdom to the gates of hell at the local abortion mill in Columbus, Ohio. On Saturday, we will deal directly with this deception, set the record, straight, contend for the faith, and preach the true Jesus, who is forever revealed in God’s Holy Word.

I know this is a short notice, but if some of you can make it, we can sure use the support. Abortion and homosexuality are the dangerous roots that is producing the dangerous fruit of Islam in America. While it is day in America, we must labor and uphold the truth in the midst of our perverse and crooked nation (John 9:4). If you can make it, please contact Coach at 704-507-3211 to make arrangements. We need boots on the ground, intercessors, and preachers to converge in Columbus, Ohio for such a time as this.

If you cannot make it, please cover us in prayer that we speak the truth in love, expose the lie, lift high the name of Jesus, and preach as we ought in His name! Love ya!

  “There is no longer room for hope.  If we wish to be free we must fight! … We are not weak.  Three million people, armed in the holy cause of liberty…are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.  We shall not fight alone.  God presides over the destinies of nations, and will raise up friends for us.  The battle is not to the strong alone, it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave ….

Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775, stirring address to the Virginia House of Burgesses.  It was a call to the 13 hopelessly divided and separate colonies to unite under the banner of Christ for the cause of true Christian liberty.
