There were six police cars parked in front of the abortion mill in Akron, Ohio, and five more across the street. The sidewalks were lined with barricades and police officers were standing in small groups talking. We had contacted the Akron police department and told them we were coming to protest, and they had responded to our request for protection of our First Amendment right to speak out. 

Approximately 100 people showed up to simply hold signs, pray and try to persuade women not to enter the clinic. Our people started arriving around six-thirty A.M. and would have stayed all day, but the clinic closed early. I repeat the clinic closed early! Why? Because they were challenged by people who said, No More! No more lying to the women! No more killing babies! No more murder will happen on our watch if we can prevent it!

It was a peaceful protest that included men and women of all ages, some to old to stand for long, so they sat in chairs on the sidewalk. A few of these people have been protesting at this clinic for years. They have been harrassed by employees and police verbally threatened, physically attacked and spit upon. The Akron police have refused to press charges on clinic
employees even though they could and should. The Akron prosecuting attorneys will not even look at video or listen to tapes with proof of these events.

Why is this happening in our country? Why have we allowed over 50 million babies to be killed and look the other way? My answer for me, my shame is my fear. My fear of speaking out and being persecuted. My fear of having to admit that I have been a part of the murder of millions of babies because of my sin of omission.

I cannot understand the people that work at this clinic. Their hearts are frozen. Their speech changes from soft to hate in a second, and a spirit of death hovers over the building. The work is not for the weak. I am weak, but Jesus Christ in me is strong.

We saw six girls go into the clinic. We saw others heading there but who turned away. Did we save a life? Maybe. I don't know. But we did raise Jesus Christ and His Truth.

If you cannot go to the clinics, send someone. Give them the finances, give them encouragement and support. Abortion is murder. Don't hire politicians to do the things that we Christians are suppose to do.

I think of all the years that I was angry over the loss of my three boys, and now I have to wonder, just how mad is God over the killing of 50 million babies? Forgive me Lord.

The effort is not fun and there is no joy in knowing that a few feet away at least six baby human beings were killed while I stood outside. I could do nothing more than preach the Gospel, but God can do all things.

Please keep praying that abortion stops. And after you are done praying, go to a clinic, stand outside, and perhaps hold a sign with a picture that offends and convicts. Abortion will stop when the Church says it will stop. It does not stop with politics, it stops with God's people.

God forgive me for I have sinned against thee, and I have watched and done nothing. Forgive me, and make me strong. Forgive me for attending a building with a cross on it and driving past the one with blood running down the walls. Forgive me for omission.

This mill in Akron has lost 60% of their business in the past few years. God is doing a mighty thing there because His people are diligent and obedient. Do I want to go back? No. Will I? Yes, not only to Akron, but to wherever I am called. Why? Because I am called.
