“Mom Refuses Chemo to Save Daughter!

This little video snippet (here via Godtube) expresses beautifully God’s love through a mother who chose to lay her life down that her child might live. This is what godly mothers have done throughout the centuries. This is what our mothers do for us every day. Dying daily. This is God’s way. And boy does it teach.

The “Life of the mother” exception clause (if the mother’s life is in danger, then you can kill the baby) is a terrible lie, authored by the devil himself.  It was given to us by the National Right to Life to make Christians appear more compassionate in their stand for life.

Rape, incest, life of the mother gives us no right and no license to deliberately take the life of a preborn child. ~ Flip

Dear Friends,

The following is a press release regarding recent incidents at Morris and Rebecca Wortman’s abortion clinic. Since late summer the Brighton authorities have been harrassing in regard to the use of signs and sound amplification. We have been blessing to have two lawyers helping us with our response; Ben Dupre’ with The Foundation of Moral Law Kevin Johnson a local attorney. Please keep us in prayer as we respond to the action of the town of Brighton.   Rev. Mike Warren

Rescue Rochester

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

FOUNDATION FOR MORAL LAW CALLS ON BRIGHTON, NY POLICE TO STOP HARASSING PRO-LIFE MINISTRIES OUTSIDE ABORTION CLINIC

MONTGOMERY, AL — The Foundation for Moral Law sent a letter to the Town of Brighton in western New York yesterday, demanding that the Brighton police and officials stop interfering with pro-life ministry on the public sidewalks outside a local abortion clinic.  On behalf of Rev. Michael Warren and Gerald Crawford, both of Rescue Rochester, and Bound4Life Rochester, the Foundation told Brighton to “cease and desist” its unconstitutional pattern of targeting multiple pro-life activists in their ministry of prayer and sidewalk counseling.

Judge Roy Moore, President of the Foundation for Moral Law and the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, noted that the Brighton police should be upholding the law: “Those who believe in abortion never cease to try to restrict any opposition to their anti-life agenda. The Brighton police should be upholding the law and the freedom of people to speak up for the God-given right to life rather than running interference for the abortionist.”
 
In the letter, the Foundation explains that Brighton police officers have been making unwarranted threats against Rev. Warren and Mr. Crawford for their lawful use of pro-life signs and amplification equipment outside the abortion clinic of Dr. Morris Wortman, at 2020 South Clinton Avenue in the Town of Brighton.  Additionally, as if to prove their anti-life bias, Brighton police in September ordered members of the pro-life prayer group Bound4Life Rochester to produce identifying information for simply praying silently on the public sidewalk outside the same clinic.
 
“Just as unborn children are targeted by the abortionist on the inside, Brighton police have made a habit of targeting pro-life ministry on the public streets outside the abortion mill,” said Foundation attorney Ben DuPré, who along with local New York attorney Kevin Johnson of Klafehn & Heise PLLC, signed the demand letter.  “However much Dr. Wortman and officials of Brighton may dislike Rescue Rochester’s and Bound4Life’s message or even mere presence, the Constitution does not permit the force of law to be used to harass and intimidate pro-life ministry in Brighton.”
 
Reverend Michael Warren of Rescue Rochester stated, “It is tragic that our judical and law enforcement institutions have been so blinded by the bloodguilt of over 50 million children killed by abortion that they are determined to silence a ministry that offers the one safe choice available to abortion minded women. It’s unfortunate that The Brighton Police Department finds itself co-opted by the pro-abortion political machine. By the grace of God we will continue to be a voice for the voiceless at Rochester area abortion mills.”
 
The letter concluded by demanding from the Town of Brighton written assurances by November 21, 2011, that pro-life speakers will be allowed to freely engage in the expression of their protected speech on the public sidewalks near and adjacent to Dr. Wortman’s abortion clinic.
 
The Foundation for Moral Law, a national non-profit legal organization located in Montgomery, Alabama, is dedicated to restoring the knowledge of God in law and government through litigation and education relating to moral issues and religious liberty cases.

Stericycle Exposed

Michael Marcavage, Campaign Director of the Campaign to Stop Stericycle, gives us some incredible evidence of a calloused abortion industry disposing of the remains of children it kills.  So reminiscent of the Jewish holocaust as the Nazi regime callously disposed of the remains of Jews, Gypsies, the mentally retarded, and physically handicapped, it murdered.

 Astonishing and horrible findings!  Michael gives us some things we can all do. Here’s the story.  ~ Flip

Nobody Does It Like Tim Tebow!

Yes, nobody brings praise to the Name of Jesus like Tim Tebow does.  Nobody that is, except for the folks who praise the Lord for His miracles every day they are out at the abortion mills standing in the gap on behalf of our Lord’s precious preborn babies.  They face the giant of abortion every day they are at the mill.  To put an end to him and his reign of terror seems impossible.  They run to the roar anyway, keeping their eyes fixed on the one who is unseen.  As they unsheathe the Sword of the Spirit, they witness the hand of Almighty God at work as He snatches so many from the jaws of death.  They witness abortion industry employees (doctors, nurses, security guards, et.al.) giving their hearts to Christ.  They witness abortion mill after abortion mill closing its doors for good.

Oh yeah!  These folks know how to bring praise to our Lord and King, for nothing is impossible with God.  The microphone, however,  was before Tim last night.  He hit the ball out of the park and we are all blessed that a member of our family stood strong for Jesus.  But it was only a football game.  Tim’s mom chose life for him even though it might have cost her own.  The doctors advised abortion.  The angels in heaven rejoiced as Tim’s mom and dad, in the loneliness and awesomeness of that time, gave their yes and amen to Almighty God.

Long before the press conference last night, a far more important press conference took place.  Mom and dad said yes to God, and there arose in heaven a mighty roar!

Here is Marilyn Carroll’s account of Tim Tebow’s post game press conference after the Denver Broncos defeated the New York Jets last night.  She is so happy that Tim stood up in the Name of Jesus.  Little does she know, nor does it ever cross her mind, that God is standing up for her every time she goes to the abortion mill. ~ Flip

—————————————————————————————————-

Saints: The announcer said last night there is something “magical” about this kid, its not magical, its JESUS! “Whatever it is , he’s got it and this team team miraculously got to 500 with their team at home.” After the game both teams were kneeling in a circle in prayer with Tebow. The first thing he said on TV after the game was “I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!” He also said “God has blessed me with  so much including my family and friends. We’re blessed to have a bunch of good receivers. We just need to keep believing, one day at a time. I do this because of the way my parents always preached to me to always get back up and keep believing when you are knocked down. ” Tebow went on to say he likes football but other things are more important : right now he is building a hospital in the Philipines. He wants to honor God and be a good role model for kids. He said “God bless you all! ” at the end. PTL! Marilyn

Tim Tebow in His Words After Driving Denver to Victory

By TONI MONKOVIC

It looks as if we’ll just have to get used to it.

On the one hand, we have the headline “Tim Tebow Scores Late Touchdown On 95 Yard Drive To Win, After Doing Nothing All Game,” with Jason Lisk of the Big Lead correctly pointing out: “Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos offense was dreadful. Dreadful! For the first 54 minutes of the game.”

On the other, we have Woody Paige rhapsodizing in The Denver Post about The Drive Too: “Tebow went where Elway had gone before.”

Tebow continues to win and continues to drive analysts crazy. Let’s just let Tebow tell it in his words, as provided by the Broncos’ Web site.

On Denver’s final, game-winning drive

“First and foremost I just want to thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and thank my teammates for believing in me and believing in each other for 60 minutes. I think, referring to that last drive, I think it was just a bunch of guys that kept fighting that had been knocked down a bunch of times but continued to get back up. I’m just so proud of those guys, for their resiliency, their patience and their determination.”

“We were aggressive. We went at them. [WR] Eddie [Royal] made a great play on the first (play). It was man-to-man (defense), and I threw him a swing, he made somebody miss, he got (eight yards). And then we were able to get some on the option. We didn’t necessarily have huge plays, but we just got enough to keep moving the sticks and found a way at the end, and [WR Demaryius Thomas] came up with a big catch, and the offensive line was just grinding, working hard and scratching for every single yard we could get. They made my job very easy there at the end.”

On what the offense talked about just prior to the drive
“[Offensive coordinator] Coach [Mike] McCoy just said, ‘Keep believing.’ When we were in the huddle, what we were talking about as an offense was, ‘You want opportunities like this because this is an opportunity for greatness as an offense. We haven’t done anything this whole game, but we have an opportunity to do something special right now. Let’s go out there and do it.’ Everybody was focused, and you could see that their will was taking over as an offense. I think that’s pretty special.”

“It was just important that we had a mind-set and everybody went out there and rallied behind each other and just gave it everything they had.”

On what McCoy said just prior to the drive
“We went over a few ideas, but we were ready to go back out there. He said a few things—it wasn’t a huge, long speech—but, you know, ‘Keep believing. Let’s go get this thing done.’”

On his game-winning touchdown run
“That was the second time in the game [the Jets] had blitzed everybody against us. And they were playing the corners pretty hard off, and we ran a three-vertical (wide receivers) concept against them, and I knew we were in field-goal range, and I didn’t necessarily just want to throw up a jump-ball because they were playing so far off. So when I knew they were blitzing everybody, and I saw [S] (Eric Smith) coming off the left side, and he came and he hugged tight. And I knew he was going to be extra because they were bringing one more guy than we could block, and I knew (the blocker) got a hand on him, and once he came tight, I just figured he wasn’t going to think I was going to try and get outside and escape. So I just believed that the tackle and the tight end were going to get the block, and that I could try to hopefully outrun him to the edge, and thank the Lord I was able to do so.”

“I don’t think (the outside) was supposed to be open. (Smith) was kind of the hugger, and he hugged tight against and stayed tight. So once he’s coming in and planting and trying to stay as tight as he can, thinking I’m going to be in the pocket … once I knew that, I just kind of jab-stepped and stayed outside, and he’s going this way, and I’m going that way. That’s hard for someone to really plant and get outside. I was very thankful he was running really hard and coming hard inside because that’s hard to make that cut, so it made it a lot easier on me getting outside of him.”

On if he was surprised by the Jets’ all-out blitz on the play
“We were kind of expecting it. They were going to be aggressive and try to stop us and could also [have] been expecting a quarterback run or quarterback draw, or something inside. So we had a great play against it, and Coach McCoy made a great call, and I was just thankful I was able to get around the end.”

On if he likes late-game drama
“I like winning, but I wish it wasn’t quite that stressful.”

On how he’s going to celebrate the win
“What’s special is I’ve got a lot of friends and family in for this game. [So] first, just thank the Lord and savior and hang out with my friends and family. Honestly, I played pretty hard, so I’ll probably be a little bit tired. [I’ll] go get a little bit of food and probably go to sleep.”

On if he plans on tweeting any of his critics
“I probably will tweet [former NFL defensive end] Hugh Douglas because I did hear that he said if we won he was going to church on Sunday. So I’m going to tweet him. He better be in his Sunday best! I hope he can sing praise and worship, too. So we’ll see.”

On what he’s thankful for this Thanksgiving
“That would be a long list, but just to share a few: first and foremost would be my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and I’d say behind that would be my family and also in this time is our military, who put their lives on the line every day for us so we can come out here and play a game. I’m very thankful for all three of those things.”

JOHN FOX, BRONCOS COACH
On Tebow
“Tim is going to be Tim. You don’t want to change too much about a guy that makes plays and makes plays in pressure situations. Our staff [Quarterbacks Coach] Adam Gase and [Offensive Coordinator] Mike McCoy have done a tremendous job of working with him and bringing him up to speed. We had a couple issues, but he’s a young player. He’s a young quarterback. It’s a very hard position, and those things are going to happen. He’ll just grow and get better with every snap.”

On Tebow’s character
“He’s just a competitive dude. He’s super competitive. He never lays his sword down. He’s going to fight you to death, and that’s just his nature. He’s a great young man.”

On the team’s faith in QB Tim Tebow during final drive
“When that happened it was like, we have 95 yards. Everybody was kind of like, ‘watch this.’ On the sideline it felt like we knew something was going to happen. People always say that when you win but we felt like something was going to happen, probably because of the way we have been finishing games over the last couple weeks. Again, #15 [QB Tim Tebow] proved to be very impressive on that drive.”

CORNERBACK CHAMP BAILEY

On Tim Tebow
“One thing about that quarterback: he is going to keep grinding. As a defense, we just have to keep him in this game – keep this team in the game and in the fourth quarter, you never know what you are going to get. We are never out of it and it is a good feeling because I know if we are close, we have a chance.”

National Right to Life and Catholic Bishops Defeat Mississippi Personhood

The pro-life industry, just like the abortion industry, will do all in its power to maintain itself.  At least the abortion industry is honest enough to come right out and say that a woman’s right to choose eclipses a child’s right to live.  The pro-life industry, on the other hand, says it is doing all it can to save the lives of preborn children and then deliberately sabotages the only piece of legislation that stands forthrightly upon the Word of God declaring all children “Persons” from biological beginnings.  Why?  Because the Pro-life industry is far more concerned with self-preservation than the preservation of those it has sworn to protect. ~ Flip

……………………..
 
Mississippi’s 2011 Vote Validates Flip’s Claim: For many years Flip Benham has said that abortion is only legal because those who say they are pro-life Christians won’t try to end it. But how do you prove that? Easy: take a statewide vote and see what happens when such pro-life “leaders” oppose personhood. Yes Amendment 26 received 42% of the vote! This doubles the conventional wisdom of the pro-life industry that 15% to 20% of the public would support a total abortion ban. Yet this doubling was achieved even against opposition from the pro-life governor, the Catholic Church, and National Right To Life. During the decades that the 15% claim was used to discourge efforts to fight for personhood, that argument assumed that if the entire pro-life movementcampaigned for the God-given right to life of the child, still, we might only get 20% of the vote. Yet 30% of liberal Colorado and 42% of Mississippi voted to end all child killing! And this is with much OPPOSITION from these pro-life “leaders.” So what would be the result if they actually supported the effort to legally recognize the child from conception? Unless the Roman Catholic Bishops, and pro-life Republican leaders, and the pro-life industry groups, want to claim that combined they have virtually no public influence whatsoever, it is clear that the additional 8% for victory could have come easily if they had courageously campaigned to uphold the sanctity of the child’s life. “Mississippi’s 42% clearly validates Flip Benham’s claim that the only reason that abortion is legal is because ‘pro-lifers’ don’t care to end it,” says American RTL’s director of research Darrell Birkey. “As Flip says, abortion will end in America when those who call themselves pro-life Christians want it to end.”

Father Francis McCloskey in Need of our Prayers

Many of you remember father Francis McCloskey as a man of utter brilliance, incredible humor, and a rich deposit of historical fact.  But more than anything, he was and still is an eloquent voice for God’s preborn children.  His brother Jim wrote me and relayed this message.  “Dear Flip, I don’t know whether you know that my brother, Fr. Francis, is in a nursing home in Albany, NY with early onset dementia, complicated by possible Parkinson’s disease.  Please pray for him.  Jim McCloskey.”  

Below is my response, and some great pictures of Father Francis, his brother Jim, and the saints in Connecticut. ~ Flip

 Dear Jim,

 Yes, we know about Father Francis.  Thank you so much for thinking about me and making sure that I did know.  Beth has been very good at keeping us all updated.  We have been praying for him, especially in this difficult season in his life.  Yes, it is a season, but it is certainly not the end.  Thank God for Jesus who demonstrated the absolute truth of this through His resurrection.

Your brother makes me smile every time I think of him or pray for him.  His mind was so razor sharp and his love for life and all those around him just makes me smile.  I can’t help it.  Check it out and see if this isn’t true with others who know him well.  At first they will be sad and grave over the difficulties he is presently suffering through.  But then, as they start remembering him and the wonderful times they had with him, a huge smile will begin to appear on their faces and their whole countenance will lift.

Who laughed more than your brother?  Who lit up a room more than your brother?  Who dared to do great and impossible things for God more than your brother?  Who could see, in very ordinary things, the extraordinary works of Almighty God better than your brother?  Who could take a very boring trip and make it the most fascinating adventure ever, better than your brother?  Who knew history and His story better than your brother?

Your brother is free because he knows who he is and where he is going.  This is his incredible secret that is available to all of us through Christ Jesus.  When I spoke to him I always felt bigger than I really was.  He made me feel that way.  Though his intellect far surpassed my own and his knowledge of history unfathomable, I always felt like a better man after being with him.

Now Jim, it is upon you to help him navigate through the difficult trials and tribulations of this season in his life.  How?  Simply by reminding him, every day, of what a blessing he was and is to so many of us who are praying for him.

God bless you Jim.  Please keep me updated.

In Christian love,

Flip

Chet Gallagher’s Take on Mississippi Personhood Battle

Our brother Chet shares his heart and the heart of our heavenly Father in a unique perspective of what happened as the Church of Jesus Christ in Mississippi failed to do what only she can do – storm the gates of hell so that they will not prevail!

Pray and think upon this.  ~Flip

 

From where it first started, tragically the slaughter continues…

Many of you, dear friends and more, have interceded passionately, crying out to God for the personhood efforts here in Mississippi to succeed. All of us “on the ground” want to thank you for doing so faithfully. Surely God is pleased with your cries to heaven on behalf of the least of His. I was not surprised to receive many messages, phone calls, and e-mails this morning after the announcement last night that the smallest and most helpless baby boys and girls in Mississippi would continue to be crushed within their mothers womb. I told Flip that I was grieving both for the babies who will die day after day and also for the church members who welcomed and embraced the enemies’ stratagems. Tens of thousands here drank in every implausible argument to justify their defiance of the Word of God, casting their vote to let the killing continue unabated. “God is not mocked…”

On Monday, Fox news reported accurately our declaration that “It’s always a baby…it’s always been a baby…it will always be a baby and there’s never a good reason to kill an innocent child in the womb.” Still abortion would ultimately not end in Mississippi, where it began first in 1966, due largely to the complicity and/or inaction of the church.  So often I heard these words from those naming the name of Jesus, “I’m prolife but this bill confuses me.” “I can’t vote for this because I’ll lose my birth control and IVF will be banned.” Only 48 hours ago I had discovered a verse I’d never seen, Isaiah 59:4 says in the NKJV: “No one calls for justice, Nor does [any] plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity,” and so the reason this evil was “conceived” and iniquity was brought forth is because, rather than choosing His Words of life, they chose to “trust in” empty words or as the NASB translates, “trust in confusion.”

Still many God fearing believers prayed and passed out tens of thousands of pieces of literature denouncing the deceit; in fact, we were privileged to have over 70 friends come here to Mississippi from 14 states join us in the final days. In the end all we could do was to cry out to God and so on election day I invited Ron Duhe, my stalwart 70 year old comrade, to join me in one final day’s intercession. Rising early on Tuesday we drove through all seven southern Mississippi counties that we’d first petitioned in together nearly two years earlier. We determined to pray “on-site with insight” traveling to every polling place we could reach from 7 AM to 7 PM. We believed it was all we had left we could do, and found it to be a liberating and Spirit empowering 12 hours of intercession!

We certainly stumble along the way, even may question the outcome of our labor for Him; still He allows us to finish strong, imparting confidence to go from this place better equipped than ever to fight this good fight of faith. Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Oklahoma and more are before us AND…you are invited to “just show up” on the next battleground. Make no mistake I do not minimize the significant tragedy of this defeat, nor the casualties that will follow, but let these words of William Wilberforce challenge you and me to move forward, pressing tenaciously toward the prize of ending the slaughter: 

“So enormous, so dreadful, so irremediable did the trade’s wickedness appear that my own mind was completely made up for abolition. Let the consequences be what they would: I from this time determined that I would never rest until I had effected its abolition.”

No King but King Jesus!
