Hope Clinic- Granite City
Monday- Bag n’ Tag 99 babies past week’s "medical waste" Tuesday- 23 WI, LA, IN, MO, IL. 8 saints standing including Chatham Bible Church group Wednesday- 28 TX, WI, MO, IL 1 save approximately 30 proclaimers standing in the gap. A young black woman came back out of the deathcamp after proclaimers spoke with her, when asked if she saved her baby, she answered, "Yes!" We asked her what changed her mind, she replied, "You people standing out there" PTL! Thursday-29 midnite abortions KY, IN, MO, IL. Friday- 28 OK, MN, IN 2, MO, IL In the cold rain we took the truth truck which shows what abortion looks like to Granite City IL, then over to St. Louis, MO where the Bush-Kerry debate was in final preparations. This is what Kerry-Edwards support, a "bloody choice". Suprisingly, we got more thumbs up than shouted-down by passer-bys and motorists. Saturday- 43 MN, TN, KS, TX, IN, MO, IL 2 saves Once-a-year approx.200 activists who happen to be Catholic turned out to parade and pray at these gates. Only a handful stayed behind to encourage, be informed and pray with the weary daily proclaimers at these gates of hell. A black couple was greeted with loving messages, to "Choose life this day, let us adopt your baby," ..after the woman went inside this deathcamp, the man told us, "She’s already had two abortions" .. proclaimers continued to pray and talk with this man. Thirty minutes later this woman came out and told the man she couldn’t kill the baby and the man became enraged and punched his car. The woman took the infomation and they left this mill with their baby still ALIVE! 151 babies killed. 3 babies saved. 1111 babies saved since January 2000! Sixteen babies have gone up for adoption! "Seminarians for choice", the sign read outside the hope abortion Clinic. Kerry bumper stickers on Catholic cars. Mixed messages that we’re getting from the Catholic Church and leaders. John Kerry left his faith outside the door and he knows who butters his bread. It’s all about $$$ and unfortunately the silence in our churches and from our supposedly pro-life leaders when it comes to the bottom line is that they vote their pocketbook. Their god is their appetite Philipians 3:17-20. Unfortunately, what has happened to our churches is that they have turned into refrigerators preserving the Christians as they are. Instead of following the Bible’s teachings, they have twisted them and instead of the church being more like a toaster and heating their congregation up to, "Go ye out into the world..." to do the Great Commission as God commanded. Instead of pop-tarts, they are popsicles. "Some of our churches are so cold and silent that they turn into meat lockers. They have turned into city morgues." The sign outside should read, "You stab ‘em, we slab ‘em." Thank you to the few churches that have shown up for the battle, and to the few pastors that have led some of their flock to this gate of hell in Granite City, IL instead of laying under the moral rubble across our land, they've decided to join that remnant that God has chosen to be a light at the end of the tunnel with the pending collapse of our civilization. The Good News is that God saves inspite of ourselves, be encouraged faithful remnant of God. Romans 11:5 "So too, at the present time there is a remnant.." John Kerry, "I’m Catholic, but I believe in a woman’s Constitutional right to choose." How should Christians respond? It is one thing when God-less, secular people try to dehumanize the unborn to support their view of abortion on demand. It is quite another matter when these same people attempt to distort scripture and church history to fit their agenda. There is not a legitimate "pro-choice" position that can be derived from the Bible. To support this position, it would be necessary to use text out of context, ignore the Bible’s attitude toward the young and innocent, and be ignorant of the history and tradition of the church. God calls each of us to defend the innocent. Christians should elect leaders who share the Biblical view of abortion and support groups working to make abortion unacceptable in our country. God will change the hearts of those promoting the genocide of our nation. What does it mean to be a pro-life Christian? What one perceives the battle to be will determine how he fights it! Education: If you perceive abortion to be primarily an educational issue, then you will do all that you can to educate people, helping them realize that life begins at conception. The problem is, that many in our nation already know this fact, but they believe a mother’s right to choose trumps a child’s right to live. It isn’t about education! Politics: If you perceive abortion to be primarily a political issue, then you will spend your time and money attempting to elect Republicans to make abortion illegal once again. However, politics is the art of compromise. To be successful, you must compromise God’s Word to get His work done. This is never a good idea! It isn’t about politics! Economics: If you perceive abortion to be primarily an economic issue, then you will do all that you can to help those seeking an abortion to find financial help to see their baby to term and beyond. The problem is that most mothers seeking abortion just want to get it over with and get on with their lives. It isn’t about finances! Compassion: If you perceive abortion to be a compassion issue, then you will do all that you can to set up crisis pregnancy centers so that those seeking abortion instead choose life. The problem is that over 80% of the patients in crisis pregnancy centers are not abortion-minded. Those seeking abortions don’t go to crisis pregnancy centers. It isn’t about compassion! Gospel: If, however, you perceive abortion to be a Gospel issue, then you will call the Church of Jesus Christ into the streets to stand in the gap on behalf of pre-born children. If it is a battle between the "seed of the serpent"and the "seed of the woman," only the Church of Jesus Christ can crush the head of the seprent. The gates of hell cannot prevail against her! Abortion is preeminently a gospel issue! It is only when we bring the battle to the streets that the battle may be won! The devil is robbing, killing, and destroying God’s heritage (children Psalm 127) while we sit by trying to educate, negotiate, buy off, or be compassionate with God’s sworn enemy. We have done everything but fight the devil and his lies with the Word of God. Theology must become biography in the streets. The gates of hell cannot prevail. Abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end—not one second sooner! ~Flip Benham I am an American. I am endowed by my Creator with the inalienable right to life. Just like you, and every other American. You know who I am. Now that you can see my face, will you use your voice? Please tell America, I am an American too.
