Text: I Thess. 5:9 “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I have been wanting to speak on this topic for many years. In fact, waaay back in the beginning of my ministry I created a sermon on this topic and then was advised against preaching it. “Accentuate the positive” I was told, “when people know the good God has for them now and eternally, they will naturally want to follow Him.” I bought that philosophy… Continue

Ouch!! Pruning Hurts!!

This is a shot of my once busy-blossom (grevillea) tree near our front step. This is the tree where I got many bee and lorikeet photos from.

Sadly, this past summer, our tree hasn't had many blossoms, and the branches and limbs were looking pretty sad...

Time for a pruning!!

Now it has lots of new shoots coming up, and I'm looking forward to more great shots when it flowers again in a couple of months.

As I… Continue

"Why do you show those sickening, bloody pictures?"

Many people ask us,

"Why do you show those sickening, bloody pictures?"

Let us briefly explain our purpose for displaying the photographs:

Ending Censorship

We display these photographs because the media has censored the preborn child from the "abortion debate.” The American press refuses to show the American people what these babies look like who are dying in the womb. We are simply attempting to bypass that media blackout by going to the streets and displaying… Continue

Are Preborn Babies a People Group Worthy of Our Ministry?

From MISSIONARIES TO THE PREBORN

Preborn children are the most oppressed people group in the world today. In America, 4500 of them are murdered by abortion every day. That is a million and a half every year. Worldwide, 55 million are murdered every year.

All across the world there has been a campaign to strip preborn children of their humanity. They have been called "blobs of tissue," "products of conception," and "fetuses." All these terms are meant to dehumanize… Continue

On the Wings of Prayer

On the Wings Prayer

Just close your eyes and open your heart

And feel your worries and cares depart,

Just yield yourself to the Father above

And let Him hold you secure in His love -

For life on earth grows more involved

With endless problems that can't be solved -

But God only asks us to do our best,

Then He will "Take Over" and finish the rest -

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,

There's always one door to "The… Continue

The Season of the Soul

The Season of the Soul

Why am I cast down and despondently sad

When I long to be happy and joyous and glad?

Why is my heart heavy with unfathomable weight

as I try to escapethis soul-saddened state?

I ask myself often -

"What makes life this way,

Why is the song silenced in the heart that way gay"?

And then with God's help it all becomes clear,

The SOUL has its Seasons

just the same as the year -

I too must pass… Continue

SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FREE

SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FREE ( JOHN 8:36 GWT )

Ask yourself what does it mean to be oppressed?

To oppress some one is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, anxiety, etc.

Many oppressed people end up becoming oppressors themselves, every victim… Continue

Your Trial of Faith.

Your Trial of Faith. Faith is a substance that we all can feel and recognize. Especially at times of great stress and anxiety. Does being a believer in Christ mean an easy walk? No. You can understand and feel the trials of Faith in these end days. Wars rumors of Wars, Fire, Flood, Petulance. Are you being touched by these things and still believe?

Faith is not hope, hope is something that you do not posses and Faith is something that you have, a substance, a possession, something… Continue

THROWING IN THE TOWEL

THROWING IN THE TOWEL

I recently listened to a young man share his testimony and he said a phase that stuck with me, “I felt like throwing in the towel.” I guess I have heard this phase many times before, but this time it stuck with me. When times are hard and it looks like we can't make ends meet, we might want to throw in the towel.

If you are a boxing fan you will be very familiar with the phase, “throwing in the… Continue

Remembering Dad on Father's Day....

Daddy's Day

Her hair up in a ponytail,

her favorite dress tied with a bow,

Today was Daddy's Day at school,

and she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,

that she probably should stay home,

Why the kids might not understand,

if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;

she knew just what to say,

What to tell her classmates,

on this Daddy's Day.

But… Continue

Don't make crooked the straight

Acts 13.1-12 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and… Continue

Who Will Speak Up For The Unborn?

One of the great things about having a blog is I can express how I am feeling and what I am thinking and put it in writing. Right now my voice is for the unborn who are being killed by abortion everyday in this country and around the world. They don't have a voice. They can't defend themselves before they are slaughtered. They can't plead their case to anyone because they have no voice. Someone has to speak… Continue

Abortion opponents receive death threats

Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, says the number of threats has increased since the slaying of George Tiller. Three Wichita-based anti-abortion groups say they have received death threats in response to last month's killing of George Tiller.

For years, Operation Rescue has received threats, but the number increased markedly after Tiller's killing, the group's president, Troy Newman, said Thursday. Some of the threats have been aimed at anti-abortion activities planned in… Continue

Reading Pro-Abortion Books

I am going to try and read a couple of books from the pro-abortion perspective. One is about a woman who tries to justify why she became an abortionist. The other is about the so-called "terrorist" actions by those of us who abhor the killing of babies. I can only read a few pages before I have to put the books down. But I will try and finish them so I can maybe understand how the enemy works.

No, I will not reveal the titles of the books because I don't want to promote them.

OH HOW THEY LOVE EACH OTHER

This past week was a difficult one for the Body of Christ here in my area of the world. A man who was a devoted Christian who was 49 was killed in a motorcycle accident avoiding a moose. I did not know him, but his son who is 15 is part of my Wednesday night prayer group. This young man got up in front of over 100s of people and shared his heart, and his faith and trust in the Lord along with his 22 year old sister who was the one who prayed him… Continue

Mumbo-Jumbo Time (Chameleon Logic)

From My Perspective - - -

Language is a vital tool for communicating accurately and clearly with one another. However, it does seem as though some use language to either blur or obfuscate (to make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; to render indistinct or dim; darken). This can be illustrated by the “mice print” in contracts. It takes considerable magnification to be discernible and/or readable. The reality is that most do not take the time, or… Continue
