“If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you.
And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.”
A.W. Tozer
“The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!”
Fyodor Dostoevsky
(lone starling waits / Rosemary Beach, FL / Julie Cook / 2019)
My heart was so grieved last night when I finally crawled into the bed—
I had thought I’d read a bit but then thought better of such a notion and opted
to just turn out the lights.
Sorrowfully, I blankly stared out into the darkness until finally squeezing my eyes shut.
The words, ‘Third Term Abortions’, swirled in my brain.
Abortion is horrific.
And yet we now have those who wish to make it even more horrific…if such was possible.
We have been greeted with the news this week of those who now callously think that a live birth,
a living, brand new baby should be allowed to simply be left to die—
that that child may not be allowed to live, to thrive, to grow, to love, and to be loved…
it was, it is, more than my heart could or can bear.
What world do I live in?
What nation is this?
What century is this?
Educated we brag.
Highly evolved we boast.
Egotistical we are.
Humble we are not.
I found my mind imploring…
Please God, do not turn your back to us.
Please do not leave us..
Do not leave us to this…
But this is what I know…God will leave man to his own devices.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people,
who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them,
because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,
but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God
for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading
of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,
and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.
Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.
Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.
Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,
so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.
They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful;
they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,
they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

How much more, O Lord, are we do experience before You snatch us away?
I think it must be that endurance/ perseverance business
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
He will never leave those who allow him to do his work. When we think we know more than God, all hell breaks loose. If babies can be murdered at birth, who is to say that seniors won’t be killed at a certain age, or we simply do away with mentally or physically impaired. Our country has been captured by sin. Come quickly Lord Jesus😩
Sounds very much like hitler’s plan if you ask me
Except how can that make any race pure?
It can’t — but Iceland thinks aborting those babies of pregnant women whose fetus test positive for Downs is onto a “cure”— the notion of elimination as a cure— absolutely barbaric in the name of scientific cures 😑
It is sickening, There’s no cure in any of this. All we can do is pray as you do, that God won’t turn his back on all of us.
My wife was a surgical tech. She was classified in the Air Force as a medic, but she spent her entire enlistment in surgery, usually working 100+ hour work weeks. When she got out of the service, she became certified as a surgical tech. She made it known at the hospital that she would never do abortions or anything close to an abortion. There was a doctor who had that reputation, so she was careful, quizzing him before each case. But on one occasion, there was a woman on the table who had some ‘feminine disorder’ and had to have emergency surgery. My wife made him swear this was not stopping an unwanted pregnancy. He told her it was nothing of the kind. When the doctor removed a recognizable body part from the incision, my wife left the surgical theater. This was an offense requiring termination, but no one said anything. She did not have to work with that doctor anymore either. It was the only time in her career that she ever walked out on a case.
Wow Mark—deceptions of death
Romans 1 is such a sobering passage. What a time we live in that the mainstream media doesn’t even cover the degeneration of the Democrats becoming so bad that it ignores how that some lawmakers are for the murder of infants!!!! Its getting more blatant and blatant!
Taken from the PETA website: People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation. Jeremy Bentham, the founder of the reforming utilitarian school of moral philosophy, stated that when deciding on a being’s rights, “The question is not ‘Can they reason?’ nor ‘Can they talk?’ but ‘Can they suffer?’” In that passage, Bentham points to the capacity for suffering as the vital characteristic that gives a being the right to equal consideration. The capacity for suffering is not just another characteristic like the capacity for language or higher mathematics. All animals have the ability to suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do. They feel pain, pleasure, fear, frustration, loneliness, and motherly love. Whenever we consider doing something that would interfere with their needs, we are morally obligated to take them into account.
Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth—a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy—it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all animals exist solely for human use. As PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has said, “When it comes to pain, love, joy, loneliness, and fear, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. Each one values his or her life and fights the knife.”
We should all be weeping that we live in a world which now safeguards & protects and champions over the values of our animals more than that of our children. Who’s applauding that?
I love animals and I will fight for them…but we all must fight for our babies…our unborn— and now it seems we must fight for the born to stay that way….we are living in a world turned upside down!!!!!
