FEAR NOT!
Although it seems that Troy Newman has “legally” purchased the “Operation Rescue” trademark, fear not! Troy owning the name Operation Rescue is no more legal than abortion is. Yes, abortion is “legal” in the world's eyes, but not God's, and it is not the truth. We will stand on the Truth.
We are simply facing the same opposition the apostle Paul did when dealing with the “super-apostles” in Corinth, the Judiaizers in Galatia, the Gnostics in Colossae, ad nauseam.
Take heart gentle Christian warriors. Heed the words of the apostle Paul when he spoke to the elders of Ephesus: “I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.” Acts 20: 29-31.
There have been three directors of Operation Rescue – Troy Newman is not one.
In Christian love,
Flip
