Here is a news story written by Heather Clark for Christian News Report concerning our brother Chet Gallagher and his arrest at the last remaining abortion mill in the state of Mississippi last Thursday.  At the end of the report you will see a 42 second video of the arrest.

God richly bless retired Las Vegas police officer Chet Gallagher.  ~ Flip

 

Our brother Chet Gallagher gives us all a great exhortation in this letter written the day before he was falsely arrested for preaching the Gospel of Christ on the corner of a public sidewalk outside the last remaining abortion mill in the state of Mississippi.  After Chet was released he went right back to the spot where he was arrested and preached again.  Reminiscent of Acts 5:25-29.  ~ Flip

 

Friends,

The plea for “the church to be the church,” be it in Mississippi or elsewhere, has been our consistent and passionate cry to heaven.  Yet still, she turns a deaf ear to the cry of the helpless and the innocent being led away to slaughter and willfully determines to sing a little louder.  In these critical days of the 40th year she seems to be singing even louder still. 

Here in Jackson recently, after a seemingly positive response to my “transition-from-law-enforcement-to-ministry” testimony at the annual Prolife Mississippi Banquet last week, attended by 400 or so, pastor Doug Lane invited all to the streets to Jericho march with us.  Sadly in the end, our numbers increased by only a handful the next morning.  But the marching orders were the same every day until our 7th day of victory tomorrow, April 16, in the year of our Lord 2013.

The deafening silence of the church is one thing but when the wicked are justified then the just, by default, must be condemned.  It brings a “double abomination” according to Prov 17:15: “He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.”  

We are fast tracking to the full judgment of our God, which I believe can be seen in this recent act of federal judicial tyranny.  However, friends, consider the judgment of God. God’s judgment is manifested in many ways.

Could it be that, a passage from Job 9:24 is evidence that the church of Jesus Christ continues to be judged for her idolatry, apathy, for justifying the wicked and for giving consent to the condemnation of the just?

“Silence”…after all is unsaid and not done..,”gives consent!” 

In this context then, consider Job 9:24 (NIV) “When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?”  Could it be that under this curse and judgment of God, even righteous judges are blinded by Him and rendered incapable of ruling righteously so that evil may reach its full fruition and warrant the wrath of a just God?

We are still here in Jackson, MS, crying aloud for the church to end the killing, but frankly our tireless pleas are met only with blank, dazed stares or heads shaking with denial and disbelief.  If the church of Jesus Christ remains silent much longer her vocal chords will atrophy and she won’t have a voice to raise, even if she tries to speak out.  It will be too late for her as it has been too late for the least of His.

There is hope…Rusty made a promise last week to the prolife Mississippi folks right after completing the third day of a seven day Jericho march.  “We will not only continue to support and encourage you but count on us to be your ‘Minute Men.”  How that translates into action, we pray the Holy Spirit will direct.  BUT if He is speaking to you to be ready, please obey and get ready should such a “Macedonian Minute Man” call go out to you.

ABC’s Nightline News producers are in town and have been for days and will be until week’s end.  One of them asked me today how I felt about the (proaborts) celebration this morning over yesterday’s victory in court.  I told him that every day they are here they celebrate the murder of those they slaughter.  Today is only slightly different in that Judge Daniels, a professing Christian, has justified the wicked.

By further delaying the closure of the last murder mill in Mississippi, this “Christian” magistrate has condemned more and more innocent children to their gruesome death.  He could have stopped the flow of their innocent blood into the city streets and thus a further curse would have been abated.

Friend, the bloodlust here is real.  The reality, too, of Hosea 4:2 continues to be manifest “…bloodshed touches bloodshed.”  Was it a mere coincidence that blood was shed in Boston’s streets yesterday at about the same time this federal tyrant’s order justifying the wicked took place?  The world would never make such a connection because the church refuses to “connect the dots” and preach the whole counsel of God’s Word.

Cal, Corrie and David Zastrow, myself and many local Mississippi friends will be completing the “Jericho March” tomorrow marching 7 times around this well protected place of child sacrifice to demons.  Though you can’t be here tomorrow at 7:30 AM to stand with these gentle Jackson believers, as other OSA friends like Rusty last week (and today Leslie Hanks who comes from Denver), will you pray with us that a miracle will happen?

Maybe such a small and seemingly hopeless act of living out our faith walk through a seven day Jericho March could be used of God, quite creatively, for His divine purpose.  Those who are able to “Just Show Up!” may witness a great miracle if we expect one and join together in expectant intercession!

Remember, there is only One Judge Who is never blinded in His Justice.  His Name is Jesus, and His judgments are always true and frequently…swift.

For our only God and King, King Jesus!

Chet 

Our good friend Chet Gallagher was arrested yesterday by a police department hell bent on removing the Gospel of Christ from the last remaining abortion mill in the state of Mississippi.  Several others have been arrested on ludicrous charges for preaching the Gospel of Christ and reaching out to mothers and fathers in crisis pregnancy situations at the Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JWHO).  The Mississippi State Department of Health was blocked from shutting this mill down on April 18, 2013, by a federal judge who extended an injunction he granted several months ago to keep this filthy abortion mill going despite of the protestations of the state of Mississippi’s Health Department.

The people of Mississippi want this abortion mill shut down.

The Church of Jesus Christ in Mississippi wants this abortion mill shut down.

The Mississippi State Department of Health wants this abortion mill shut down.

Both Houses in the state of Mississippi Legislature want this abortion mill shut down.

The Governor of Mississippi wants this abortion mill shut down.

The devil will do anything to prevent gentle Christians from presenting to God the first abortion free state. The gates of hell, however will not prevail against the church of Jesus Christ.  Here is an article from Rusty calling us all into action.

Let the theology of heaven become biography in the streets of Jackson Mississippi!  ~ Flip

 

_________________________________________________________________________

Please pass this information on to your lists. We must put pressure on the state of MS to reign in these police officers who are harrassing God’s people who are trying to save lives. Thank you!

Acts 5:17-20 declares:  Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”  

These are the details of Chet Gallagher’s arrest. He has been charged with obstructing the sidewalk and resisting arrest. The second charge was not violent resistance to being arrested, it was due to the fact Chet continued to preach God’s Word on a public sidewalk when the officer asked him to come across the street. 

The bail was set for $1,341.00. This corrupt police department is playing hardball against God’s people who are simply trying to save lives. Again I repeat, “WOE BE UNTO THEM!!!”

Chet, however, did not skip a beat. Like the Apostles before him, he went right back to the place of his arrest and took up God’s word in his mouth and continues to give the death camp heaven in Jesus’ name! To those of you who name the name of Christ, is there not a cause? 

We need to put out a national call and flood the governor’s office, Jackson city mayor’s office, and the police chief’s office and demand they reign in these lapdog police officers who work for this death camp rather than the citizens of Jackson, MS. Please call or write and register a complaint against the ongoing harassment perpetrated by those who police the last remaining death camp in MS. Perhaps, it will help save some more lives till the Lord shuts it down once and for all in Jesus’ name!

Faye and I had the very great privilege of joining the saints in New Orleans (Nawlins) for Easter.  What a time we had allowing the theology of heaven to become biography at the very gates of hell.  Dale and Michelle Sochia and their church blessed us in so many ways.  Here is their report.

Enjoy!    ~ Flip

 

Here is a link to the video that Colbi put together that was shown at David Lackey’s Memorial Service on Saturday April 6th.  

And here is a brief report on the Memorial Celebration for Dave Lackey…Enjoy!
 

One of my favorite preachers is Laurence White, senior pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas.  When you read this short article from him you will see why.  He is right on in his biblical perspective and filled with application for our day.  I view this as your invitation to our National Event this summer, July 24-31, in Rochester, New York.  There are some mighty big giants there.  They will come down in Jesus’ magnificent Name.    ~ Flip

Bible Thumpers Unite!

 

I am a Christian. I am not going to apologize for that fact nor will I attempt to devise some sort of watered down, evasive, non-threatening language to express that fact in a way that might be less threatening to the insecure unbelievers who populate our collapsing culture. As a Christian, I believe in objective Truth – Truth that does not depend on acceptance or popularity for its validity. I believe that anything which deviates from the Truth is a lie. As a Christian, I believe in objective morality – moral standards that are determined by the Truth – not by popular opinion polls, or the ratings of a celebrity’s national program, or media spin. I believe that any thought, word or deed which contradicts what those moral objective standards declare to be right is wrong. As a Christian, I believe that the one and only source of objective Truth and morality is the Bible, the inspired Word of God. That is why I am proudly a Bible Thumper. I am prepared to endure the scorn and disdain of worldly men, both inside and outside the church, who no longer trust in the Bible as the Word of God and who insist that we must become more practical and realistic politically if we are ever to regain the moral heritage of our nation.

I am an American who deeply loves his country. My forefathers stood upon the storm tossed deck of the Mayflower risking their lives to find a homeland where they could live as Christians without government interference. The nation which they and the generations which came after them established was firmly grounded upon a Biblical world view. John Adams accurately observed: “The general principles upon which our fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity.” (1813) We presently find ourselves in the midst of the grim process of proving Adams’ further observation that our constitutional form of government cannot survive without the support of a “moral and religious people”. “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” (1798) Now the future of that homeland is in peril because a militant minority is imposing their godless religion upon my country. indignantly reject the advice of those who demand that Christians silence their convictions in order to appeal to the apathetic undecided center. This is not political realism, it is the self-serving counsel of cowardice.  

The only way to rescue America is to halt the killing of the innocent unborn and to restore the integrity of the family. These goals will not be accomplished by abandoning principle in the hope of seducing the center. The pathetic performance of the simpering establishment of the corrupt Republican Party establishment in recent decades is proof positive of that fact. These fearful, faithless weather-vanes care about nothing beyond their own ambitions. Even if they win, which most often they do not, nothing changes and the decline of America continues. The only way to rescue America is to rouse the faithful remnant of God’s people throughout this land to finally stand for what is good and right and godly and take back their country. At this point, that will not be easy. Some have been intimidated by the lie of the separation of church and state. Some have yielded to a cynical resignation which concludes that politics is irredeemably corrupt and cannot be used for good. Still others, have become engaged in the political process, but have allowed themselves to be manipulated by that process because of their failure to carefully maintain a distinction between absolute moral truth and their own political ideology. All this must be swept aside in grassroots uprising which will transform American politics from the bottom up. No more compromises! No more delays! No more settling for the lesser of two evils. When we are dealing with life and marriage the lesser of two evils is still evil. As people of faith we must trust in God enough to do the right thing and leave the outcome to Him. The killing of the unborn and the destruction of the family must stop – now! As Christian voters we must resolve only to support candidates who are genuinely committed to these fundamental goals – no matter how bad the other guy is.

The hour is late. The death toll is overwhelming. The damage to marriage and family is devastating spread out across generations. This is not the time to be intimidated or discouraged into silence. No, this is the time to faithfully declare the Truth of God, come what may. This is the time to arouse the people of God across this troubled nation to fearless action. As Christian we have no choice. We must engage in this battle. Failure to do so would be nothing less than a betrayal of the Lord Jesus Christ. We must engage in this battle not merely as Americans but as Christians! We must engage in this battle not as liberals or conservatives, not as Republicans or Democrats but as sons and daughters of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bible Thumpers of the world, unite! If that makes the media elites and the professional politicians squirm – great! There is no better affirmation of faithfulness to Christ than fear and loathing from the world.

Please enjoy these reviews on Rusty’s new book.  These are just a few of those coming in after reading “Abortion Violation.”  ~ Flip

 

Our newest book is beginning to be read by precious men and women of God we deeply love an respect. This is some of their comments and reviews.

 ______________________________________________________________________________________________

ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO I LEARNED THAT OUR FAMILY DOCTOR’S CLINIC HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY AN ABORTIONIST. OUTRAGED, THEN AND THERE I BECAME A “PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST”.

IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THE CHURCH’S RESPONSE WAS TO “SING A LITTLE LOUDER” ALONG WITH AN ANNUAL PRO-LIFE MESSAGE.

I HAD SO MUCH TO LEARN IN THOSE 30 YEARS. LESSONS THAT ENDURED HAVE COME LARGELY THROUGH RUSTY THOMAS’ WRITINGS AND LIFE. THE SPIRIT HAS USED HIS PERSEVERANCE AND TENDER HEART TO CHANGE MINE. AS I HEAR OF “THEOLOGY TAKEN TO THE STREETS” I HEAR WATCHMEN ON THE WALL AS WELL AS THE CRIES OF THE BABIES’ BLOOD.

NOW I’M FINDING “ABORTION VIOLATION” A THEOLOGICAL PRIMER (AS IN TO PRIME A PUMP). RUSTY PENETRATES TO THE VERY ROOTS OF ABORTION AND INSPIRES US TO NURTURE OBEDIENCE AND REPENTANCE AS HE DETAILS THE FULL EXTENT OF THIS NATION’S SIN.

MAY WE LEARN THESE LESSONS WELL.

This is one of the best pro-life books I’ve ever read. It’s by my good friend, Rusty Lee Thomas. It covers everything pertaining to the spiritual, political and ecclesiastical perspective on abortion, and ultimately gives each of us, not only the personal biblical prescription to stand and eliminate abortion, but also the missing “key” to restoring our nation back to its godly heritage. I highly recommend you read this book and pass it on to those in your church and family. -Pat Necerato, www.gostandspeak.com

 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 

 I have finished reading your incredible book, “Abortion Violation.” I knew from the very first sentence, “buckle your seats, this will be Holy Ghost ride.” It was brilliantly written! If I never had met you Rusty, your book would have brought me to the deepest conviction and repentance and weeping on my knees, asking for forgiveness for apathy of “saying I am Pro-life, but doing nothing would make me the worst of all sinners.

  ______________________________________________________________________________________________

I thank God for your insight to the heart of God, (which anguishes over the condition of His bride). The writing, simply prophetic as a clarion call to repentance as like the prophets of old. If there is any conviction in reading this book, it is because God Himself is doing the heart piercing, the author, Rusty, is simply delivering the message. God bless you, and I am deeply honored to know you in the trenches! -Pastor Dale Sochia, King Jesus Ministries

Celebrating a life well-lived for King JESUS!

All of these people were living by faith when they died.  They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.  And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.  People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own … they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one.  Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”  Hebrews 11: 13-16.
