My Response to Ny's newest legislation on abortion!

Why NO Christian can be pro-choice..

Let me be clear.. If your spirit isn’t on fire at the very thought of abortion.. Then I doubt you’re saved!

Here’s why!

Psalms Chapter 106

 

26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

 THIS ALONE.. Should show GOD’S opinion of Sacrificing their children!!

But.. here is another set of verses that clearly show’s God hates this practice..

Proverbs Chapter 6

 

¹⁶ These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

And lets make clear that the verses here say hands that shed innocent blood.. Who could be more innocent than an unborn baby!

Ecclesiastes 11:5 - As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Psalms 22:10 - I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly.


Exodus Chapter 21

 

²²

^{23 And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,}

²⁴ Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵ Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Psalms 127:3-5

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Here God tells Jeremiah that from the belly he was chosen to be a prophet..

I WONDER What some of these wonderful young children were supposed to be?? A scientist to cure cancer? A scientist to cure Diabetes? A mother who would raise a ardent supporter of  PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST? A Physicist who would find a fix for air pollution?? Oh but we will never know.. Not now anyhow!!

Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

And here it appears to be a prophesy of either John the Baptist… Or Paul the Greatest of all Apostles and it says they were chosen from the womb!!

Isaiah
Chapter 49

1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Finally there are those who say what could a disabled person do that God would desire they live..

HERE IS THE ANSWER..

Psalms
Chapter 150

+     Text Size     —

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.<= they are perfectly able to praise God in their hearts!

And last but not least.. THE FIRST PERSON TO ACCNOWLEDGE JESUS CHRIST.. WAS ANOTHER BABE IN THE WOMB And it says he was filled with the Holy Ghost Not a light thing to kill a baby if they can be filled with the Holy Ghost.. and can be called to do Gods will from the womb!!

Luke 1:41 - And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

Alcohol isn't a good thing..

It isn't Legalism that tells people to avoid alcohol.. It should be obvious to all that GODS word specifically states to not be drunken.. Gods word says to have nothing to do with drunkenness.. God as a Loving father warns us to avoid things that destroy our lives.. He pleads with us to not partake of those things that destroy lives! All you have to do is look around you to see the Hell and destruction that alcohol can bring.

Galatians5:19-23

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

and

Proverbs 23:29-35

29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright.

32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

35 They have stricken me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. Proverbs 20:1 - Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Romans 14:21 - [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

1 Timothy 3:8 - Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Isaiah 5:11 - Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, [that] they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflame them!

Biblical Parenting 1

Proverbs 1:8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

I expect that my children treat my directions to them as the law of the land in their lives.
Example.. If I speed there is a fine to be payed. Hence if my children don't obey... they have more chores to do and less liberty to do as they wish!



Can you imagine the change in every American School, Home and Public building.. if each family simply imposed this.. ?



What no more squalling 4 year olds in Walmart because they didn't get their way?

Wouldn't it be nice to never again see a child blatantly disregarding the directions of their parents?

You know as well as I do.. This one simple change in the homes of American Parents would make the entire NATION run better! :)


Name me one mom or dad who wouldn't kill to never see or hear some of this kind of disrespectful attitude in their home?!

Then why don't we do something about it?
Truth to be told...

1) We have been sold a bill of goods.. (Your going to crush their individuality, They each need to be free to express themselves)

2) Our society is just to dog lazy! The parents don't want to put in the effort it takes to truly train a child to behave the way it should behave.!

3) Everyone is afraid that if they really discipline the child like they would have to do.. that DCFS OR CPS will show up at their door and the kid will be taken away!!

You know what..

I HAD A REVELATION..

If the child won't obey you..
If the child rebels at everything you say

I say maybe if the kid wants to go live someplace else... Then maybe we should let them..


Would we miss them.. ABSOLUTELY!
But if the kid knew you'd let them go... and not come begging them to come back until they were willing to live under your rules...

Either they would comply or they wouldn't.. but at least your house would have some PEACE!

How to be a good friend 2

Exodus 33:11      

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Face to face communication..


When you have a friend you should communicate with them as often as possible in a face to face situation.



Now I have a friend who lives in North Carolina..

And I live in New York..



So it's not often that we get the chance to see each other face to face.. but when we do.. Trust me we are definitely chatting it up.

In our modern society it becomes too easy to just text or make a quick phone call all the time.. and never really spend one on one time with that friend.


The biggest thing in any friendship is COMMUNICATION..

You must communicate with them!

How to be a GOOD FRIEND.

This week I have learned a lesson..
Proverbs 16:28 - A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The bible is so right!Actually it was Last week..

I was angry about something that happened to me..
And I was grumbling and complaining to a friend..

Guess what?

In my frustration and anger.. I sowed strife!
I also started whispering... And I sowed something into my friendship with the person I was speaking to... that separated us.

I said something without charity..

I said something that broke up the unity of fellow believers and friends..

And God HATES that!

I was wrong!
I have apologized but I have no idea what God will do.



Will the friendship be restored?
Will it ever be the same?

Will I learn to shut up?

Only God can tell..

But I WOULD like to start working on a small series about FRIENDSHIP.

As I teach myself from God's word.. Feel free to join me...

Joshua 5:9

Gilgal!
The place where the reproach is rolled away!
Oh God thank you that tonight you have rolled away the reproach! Oh how wonderful is it to have all the weights of life being rolled away!

In THIS Life God can and does make your faith have profit for your every day life!

Halloween via R.C. Sproul

I don’t know. And what’s more, I don’t care. First let me quickly deal with I don’t know, before moving on to the far more significant I don’t care.
The Bible does not say, “Thou shalt not celebrate Halloween.” It certainly doesn’t say, “Though shalt not dress thy little girl as a princess, walk with her through the neighborhood and collect tasty treats.” It does, however, far more than we Christians, take very seriously the supernatural realm. When God established Israel He commanded that witches there be put to death. The same for necromancers. He understood that these are not games to play with, but deadly serious matters. To the extent that celebrating Halloween means playing fast and loose with such things, I would strongly discourage it. That said, even if we confess that this was its origins, it still doesn’t mean dress up and candy are sins. As long as we stay clear of the macabre, I’d argue it’s a meat offered to idols issue. If your conscience is troubled, steer clear. If not, I won’t fuss at you about it.
That said, this is a question I’m not in the least concerned to answer. In my family this is a non-issue. We do not celebrate Halloween, but not because we’re certain doing so is a sin. We don’t celebrate Halloween for this simple reason — because we’re far too busy and far too giddy celebrating something far more significant. No, it’s not a harvest festival. (Indeed I would argue that the sanitized Christian substitute version of Halloween, wherein we call it something else, and dress up as Bible heroes may be the worst possible choice. We copy the ways of the world, badly. It’s the October 31st version of what goes on every Lord’s Day in happy clappy churches, a third rate copy of the world’s inanities.)
We don’t celebrate Halloween because we are too focused on celebrating the Reformation. October 31st marks the anniversary of Luther nailing his 95 these on the church door in Wittenberg. We rejoice that God in His grace emboldened Martin Luther to stand on the promises of God. We give thanks to God for recovering for His people the clarity and simplicity of how we might have peace with Him through the finished work of Jesus Christ. We celebrate the recovery of the Bible as our alone final standard of faith and practice, the ending of the Babylonian captivity of the church. This is not some bland Christian substitute for Halloween. This is the real deal.
Our celebration this year will take four days. On the 30th we begin our conference The Power of the Glory. Friday morning we start back up again with the conference. Then we will gather together for a Vespers Service, followed by a concert from Nathan Clark George, a tremendous talent and blessing to the church. Saturday we will have a street festival, complete with the reading of the theses, the retelling of the story of Martin Luther, s’mores and dancing. The puny and pathetic parties of the world won’t hold a candle to ours. Halloween is a dead issue. The Reformation, that’s life.
