LIFE FROM CONCEPTION—NO EXCEPTION

LIFE FROM CONCEPTION—NO EXCEPTION

That’s what the Bible says.
So that’s what God says.
His Word is the final Word.
He created life.
He creates every life.

I’ve never heard of a single Bible-based exception to life for babies—born, unborn ! ! !

I’ve heard—I’ve read—the most severe, horrific death deserved for anyone who even hurts, who even offends, one of these little ones—IN THE BIBLE.

How can we escape His judgment ?

How can we even debate—while we wait for His judgment ?

“JUST . . .” ?

Pregnant ?
Pregnant “with tissue” ?

Try saying this, to make it personal, about yourself:
– I was “just tissue” for nine months (more or less) ?
– I was “just an inconvenience” ?
– I was “just an unhealthy part of my mommy’s body” ?
– I was “a malignant growth in my mommy”—endangered my mommy’s life—should have had it cut out ?

OR

Pregnant !
Pregnant with a baby !

“You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.”

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is His reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.”

The Bible is PRO-LIFE—loaded.

God is PRO-LIFE—invented all life.

God is PRO-LIFE—does not make mistakes.

God is PRO-MALE+FEMALE—He said it—“He created male and female”—that’s it.

God is PRO-MARRIAGE—He said it—“a man bound to his wife”—that’s it.

God is PRO-SEX—He said it—“Let your fountain be blessed”*—that’s it.

God is PRO-PROCREATION—He said it—“fruitful, multiply”, first command—that’s it.

God is PRO-LIFE—He said it—“choose life”—all life, beginning to end.

– – –

God made His Way clear to Israel 3400 years ago, and it remains clear to us today in our Bible.

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

*”Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with the wife of your youth.
As a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be enraptured with her love.”

SENIOR + – – – ELDERLY ?

I’m okay with ‘senior’, which has its positives.

Not so good with ‘elderly’, because of daily warnings how they get in danger with the heat—that’s me, now, for the first time.

And it takes so much time stopping to take another break, another nap.

SATURDAY, JULY 13, 2024

The next day at Church In The Park in Temple, Texas, a dear friend, a veteran in his later seventies with health issues that challenge to the limit—asked me what went through my mind when I learned that Donald Trump was shot.

ONE
America is at the boiling point, and it will spill over into more violence, if we don’t return to what made this country great for 250 years.

TWO
I remembered what Trump said at the picturesque America rally at Mt. Rushmore—
“They’re not coming after me—they’re coming after you.”

THREE
I prayed that this would be a wake up call for Donald Trump, to personally turn to God—a life-changing time, spiritually.

– – –

Trump’s speech last night, Thursday, July 18, was an answer to my prayer, and the prayers of millions of other Christians.
He rewrote his speech because of the attempt on his life.
Trump acknowledged in detail how it was a miracle that he was even there last night.
He mentioned God a number of times, and not casually in passing.
“I am here by the grace of Almighty God.”
That’s good enough for me, for now.
I share Franklin Graham’s prayer that Donald Trump will commit his heart and life to Jesus.
I believe God is working on that in Trump.

STATS ON TRANS

Guys in girls’ places.

Guys in girls’ sports.

Not really struggling with trans.

Disproportionate media coverage.

Unrealistic emphasis and Unnatural application by policy makers and revolutionaries have hijacked yet another minor part of culture to blow apart a stable society and replace with disaster.

Without these crutches creating and propping up this insanity, the statistics of reality would show a tiny percentage with this problem, and honest, healthy help available.

Read IDENTIFY AS FEMALE ? on this site

TRANS PORN

Consider this:
In a Bible study with men, I recall hearing this:
“If you have a problem that may be a potential addiction, then you should take steps to deal with it and get help.”

Somewhere behind that comment is a subtle, underlying idea that it doesn’t apply to the person saying it.
Test question, “Do you have problem, thinking a little won’t hurt, won’t affect you, because you don’t have an addiction?”
With secret, subconscious reasoning (not good reasoning), people talk themselves into ‘just a little’, saying it’s not as bad as . . .

But I didn’t say anything, because . . .
A guy talking straight about sex temptations, pornography, ‘transgender’ fantasies—will be judged, labeled with a ‘problem’.

Everything these days is couched in newscast-approved language, so nobody talks about this big problem honestly.
IDENTIFY AS FEMALE* is the universal scam from the evil one, the father of lies.
It is a lie, even when unspoken, and re-broadcast thousands of times to give legitimacy to indulging sexual fantasies in real life, or unlimited freedom with thoughts.
And every time it is mentioned, and promoted, and mandated, and then reported—male ‘identifying as female’ can use girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, showers—that is TRANS PORN (‘transgender’ pornography)—overnight proliferation of fantasies by anyone allowing thoughts in the mind without pictures.
One more domino fallen, in the culture gone over the cliff—no logic, no common sense, no restraint.

– – –

With some addictions, the offending problem must be modified, controlled.
With some addictions, the offending problem must be eliminated, zero tolerance.
The big issue is identifying which of the two categories you’re dealing with, honestly.

– – –

Give the devil a little finger, and he’ll take the whole hand.
or
“Abstain from every appearance of evil.”

*IDENTIFY AS FEMALE is just a clever ticket to sin of choice, and it abandons the fractional percentage of people with legitimate gender struggles, who need honest help, not the tsunami of devastation pursued and pushed nowadays.

IDENTIFY AS FEMALE ? ? ?

I wish I could use extreme language to state the truth about the title.

“BULL” will have to do for now.

“The Emperor Has No Clothes” is accurate, but doesn’t come close to saying the obvious, strongly enough.

WHO IS KIDDING WHOM ?
The guys taking advantage of this current disaster don’t need to have a transgender issue, to indulge their lifelong fantasies of entering women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.
They never feel more like a male than when they get the thrill of crossing boundary lines protecting women.
It’s a fantasy version of rape—and some have used this insanity to do just that.

And I wonder how many creators of the policy are vicariously getting sexual satisfaction through those exposing themselves in ‘girls only’ places and watching girls.

If there are any girls or women okay with these policies, the same can be said about them as well as the guys.
The difference is they are not safe—sooner or later they will be victims of sexual assault or unwanted sexual advance.
And that will change their view.
– – –
Any healthy society will set barriers and steel itself against lgbt gaining a foothold.
Any compromise over sexual boundaries to protect women and families and keep men from crossing those lines, will weaken the society.
When weakness is detected, that emboldens evil forces to maximize the demise of everything good for strong families.
And when families are weakened, the downfall of society is inevitable.

UNAPOLOGETIC PROMISES

UNPOPULAR UNAPOLOGETIC PROMISES

Jesus did not say, “Sorry about your problems.”
Or, “What’s your problem that you’ve got trouble?”

He said, “In this world you will have trouble; but be of good cheer, because I have overcome the world.”

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”

We resist when things go against us.
We want God to fix them.
Or we want to fix them ourselves.

Can we “rejoice in our sufferings”?
Can we “count it all joy”?
Paul did.
He “learned in whatever state to be content”.
Persecuted Christians today thank God for a closer, sweeter walk with Jesus through their severe persecutions.

How much of that is available for us today ?
How much of that do we want today ?

Lord, what do I have to lose, to gain the perspective of Paul, writing letters of encouragement to joy, from prison ?
Paul—world traveling troublemaker for Jesus.

John Bunyan—during his years in prison, wrote Pilgrim’s Progress about the real Christian life, second best seller after the Bible.
Bunyan—in prison for preaching about Jesus.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer—powerful theology studied today, written in Nazi prisons.
Bonhoeffer—hanged for plotting to kill Hitler.

Richard and Sabina Wurmbrandt—in communist prisons, taking uncompromising stand for Jesus.
Wurmbrandts—founders of Voice of the Martyrs seven decades ago, remembering and helping persecuted Christians and their families today.

SKIM THE SCUM

Selected verses from Isaiah chapter one, describing Israel three thousand years ago, and describing America today:

“Alas, sinful nation,

A people laden with iniquity,

A brood of evildoers,

They have forsaken the Lord,

They have provoked to anger

The Holy One,

They have turned away backward.”

— Results, then and now, and soon:

“Your country is desolate,

Your cities are burned with fire;

Strangers devour your land in your presence;

And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.”

— Is there hope ? Will there be hope ?

“Unless the Lord of hosts

Had left to us a very small remnant,

We would have become like Sodom,

We would have been made like Gomorrah.”

— Is there enough to make a difference ?

“How the faithful city has become a harlot!

It was full of justice;

Righteousness lodged in it,

But now murderers.

Your silver has become dross,

Your wine mixed with water.

Your princes are rebellious,

And companions of thieves;

Everyone loves bribes,

And follows after rewards.”

— Now, what ? What does God say ? What does God do ?

“Therefore the Lord says,

The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,

‘Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries,

And take vengeance on My enemies.

I will turn My hand against you,

And thoroughly purge away your dross,

And take away all your alloy.

I will restore your judges as at the first,

And your counselors as at the beginning.

Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.’ “

— We were there once.
Can we be there again ?
Indeed, all things are possible, with God, but . . .
BUT not without the underlined parts above.

Many in this country are adversaries of God, and have made themselves His enemies.
“Vengeance is Mine—I will repay”, says the Lord.

“Unless” in the verse above—If it weren’t for the remnant in America, we would have been ‘nuked’ by God already.
But our national harlotry, injustice, unrighteousness, murder, rebellion, bribes, continue to grow unchecked.

Even our “cities burned with fire, strangers devouring our land right before our eyes, desolation, overthrown by strangers”—some already happening, some imminent !—even all this is not enough to turn this country around, turn us back to God.

GOD WILL DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO, for His Name, because He is God ! ! ! ! !
++ He will turn His hand against us.
America is eligible and overdue for the angry judgment of God, against us.
++ He will purge away our dross.
It takes a lot of heat to do that, and we will be in the fire.
++ He will take away all our alloy.
God will forcefully remove everything we hold so dear, that He reveals is not real.
++ Sounds painful—indeed !
That is the only way He can restore good “judges” and “righteousness” and “faithfulness” to our cities.
That is God’s RIGHTEOUS RESET.
Will we accept it, endure it, come through it ?
