"JAMES" AT 14 (WEEKS, THAT IS...)

....... (or NOT AN UNVIABLE TISSUE MASS)!
A REAL BABY AT 14 WEEKS - NOT "AN UNVIABLE TISSUE MASS" BUT A PERSON!
The birth of your children is one of the special moments of any person’s life. There is almost no greater feeling. One can think of the real defining moments of life: such as when you were saved/born again/rejuvenated or converted from a person bound for hell into a son or daughter worthy to be associated – for eternity – with the Creator of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ.  But there is something phenomenal, natural and instinctive about a baby – marveling at a new born, holding a toddler and raising many of them which lands life’s precious moments close to the top of the list.

However there is something even more incredible, these days – seeing a live baby – A LIVE BABY IN THE WOMB! I remember the ultra sounds of my own children from the 1990’s and they were nothing as defined and crystal clear as they are today.  Modern technology has developed to bring the issue of life to a crossroads where there can be no doubt as to just WHO and what is in the mother’s womb!  These photos are from the just concluded LIVE ultrasound at the Springfield Illinois Lifetime Pregnancy Center (now called LIFETIME) dinner of a pregnant mother with a 14 week old baby in her womb.  These photos are also from a jumbo projection screen from a projector which was NOT HD (high def), the image is stunning, affirming and absolutely real!

14 week old baby with a terrific beating heart facing foward on the new Samsung Ultrasound Machine
A fourteen week old baby (or fetus in the other people’s language) is only a 3 ½ month baby and is only one third of the way to being born into the world.  Yet the pro-abortion rights side from Judges to juvenile politicians and academics and liberal mainline protestant clergy will have you believe these are “unviable tissue masses”. Their lost estate continues to such a moronic extent that they try to indoctrinate others to believe that life does not begin until a baby is born or out of the womb. You see they have to concoct fables like this to convince their dark souls and consciences that they are not really destroying a human being when they commit abortion – midterm or late term.

Anyone who has seen one of these new high-tech ultrasound machines, if they had any vestige of decency and conscience left, would immediately become pro-life.  This is what is happening 90% of the time when pregnant women are given the opportunity to see an ultra sound image  of their child. They immediately change their minds and carry the baby to full-term. God has written His law in EVERY heart of every human who ever lived. Therefore, so the majority of women instinctively know this is a real live baby which they just cannot terminate to their eternal horror and shame.  The remaining 10%  who proceed anyway, will answer for their deeds on Judgment Day, that is – unless they completely repent and have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The baby's back with fully formed spine and limbs clearly visible
The photos here are from a live ultra sound of a baby with a beating heart. The baby’s complete body is identifiable from head to spine to hands to feet.  You cannot tell if this baby is an author, a scientist, a tennis player or a violinist.  But one thing is certain – God created this baby. God knows the baby’s name.  God knows the baby’s every minute on this earth. He knows how many hairs on the head. He knows the child’s entire future. Why? Because birth begins at conception and He knows your name and mine. He knows our every thought because He knew us from the foundations of the earth.

Psalm 139: 13 says “For You formed me in my inward parts, You covered me in my mother’s womb”…and God says in Jeremiah 1:5a “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you”. To the extent that liberals re-define God’s handiwork on earth, it is only for the present… while man is still in charge, for the brief time left for all humanity in this life. There is coming a day when all creation will rejoice and life will return to its original intent – Eternal Glory of the One True God and King – Who  created Heaven and Earth and all living things.  In that day as well, the almost 60 million babies, whose lives were ended by legal abortion since 1973 will be restored and ushered into the Father’s presence to enjoy eternity. What a day that will be!

WHY WE WROTE "25 REASONS TO BELIEVE"

FREE APOLOGETICS eBOOK FOR DOWNLOAD
Anecdotal and empirical evidence have show the challenges facing the future of the majority of our young people. We already know that the majority of the world’s population has turned its back on the Holy God of Heaven, who created everything around  us. We already know that the majority of western has spread its corrupt culture into our churches and misdirected the majority of our youth group attendees away from Jesus Christ, a Biblical Worldview and thus –hell.

We saw from the recent Christian movie phenomenon – “GOD’s NOT DEAD” – that when given a chance, most of our church-raised teens (notice, I did NOT say saved or born-again), would deny God to further their own “futures”, which when they get there, will soon be evident as pathetic, in its destination. 

The amazing thing is some of these teens and twenty –somethings (herein called millennials) went to solid bible-teaching churches….the majority of which never disciples them properly, if at all. I know places like that. The even scarier thing is these young people think they’re Christ followers and all going to heaven. They support non-biblical activities like abortion rights  and "marriages" which God did not ordain and free casual attitude towards morality and the culture. 

Having been burdened to assist young professing Christians in their defense of our Christian Faith, Pastor Mike Henderson, John Snyder and I got to work on some of the popular questions from the scoffers who wish the denigrate Christianity. We then answered them, in a clear and concise way and they are now formatted for easy access on your tablet (iPad, Android etc) or downloading directly to your laptop or personal computer to read. I know of a Christian school right now where the head of the religion class is now using our twenty five topics to teach with! Another man is using them to start an apologetics class, which  he can use almost all year! This is a labor of dedication and love from those of us, who are deeply committed to helping raise the Remnant of the nex generation to have a better Biblical Worldview than we ever had. 

Here is an example of one of the topics we addressed. This one in particular was one of my favorites. It is my favorite as it shows both the Sufficiency of Scripture and the Sizable Impact Scripture has had on daily living:


The Bible and Everyday Life

The Struggle:
The bible is so outdated! It could not possibly apply to my life!

The Answer:
Bible-believing Christians trust every word of every phrase of every
verse of the Word of God – the Bible. The world undervalues this, by
often using language which came DIRECTLY out of Scripture without
knowing! Amazingly, there are over 200 phrases or sayings which
people all over the world use in everyday discussions…and they have
absolutely no idea their origin is the Bible! Here are just a select few
of them and where they can be found in Scripture:

The apple of His eye - Psalms 17:8

A good old age Genesis - 15:15
A still small voice - 1 Kings 19:12
The pride of life - 1 John 2:16
From strength to strength -  Psalms 84:7
A drop in the bucket  - Isaiah 40:15
The salt of the earth -  Matthew 5:13
The signs of the times - Matthew 16:3
The powers that be - Romans 13:1
The fashion of this world - 1 Corinthians 7:31
Decently and in order -  1 Corinthians 14:40
A thorn in the flesh - 2 Corinthians 12:7
A labor of love - 1 Thessalonians 1:3
Thou are the man (You da man!) -  2 Samuel 12:7
The handwriting on the wall -  Daniel 5:5
Stand in awe - Psalms. 4:4; 33:8; 119:161
Clear as crystal -  Revelation 21:1; 11
The fat of the land -  Genesis 45:18
All things to all men - 1 Cor. 9:22 1 Tim. 6:10

MILLSTONE NECKTIE COMPANY NEWS - DATELINE FLORIDA

FIVE YEAR OLD STOPPED FROM PRAYING FOR HER FOOD
Mark 9:42 reports Jesus as saying “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea".


In an Oviedo, Florida public elementary school, five year old Gabriella Perez was told by a lunch monitor at the Carillon Elementary School that she was not allowed to pray and thank God for her food. The very impressive Gabriella (watch short video here) reported that she had bowed her head when the monitor told her she was not allowed to pray (in school). We all know the Supreme Court has ruled it IS constitutional for student-led prayer. This is bore out by the numerous Fellowship of Christian Athletes bible study groups in PUBLIC schools and the annual "See You at the Pole" prayer event. 

The thing is these public educators know the rules but their goal is indoctrinate as many parents' children as possible into a way of thinking, far from the Biblical and moral foundations of decent humanity. All kinds of social engineering are being promoted by the ungodly, and it is stunningly refreshing to see such a young saint boldly proclaim "IT IS GOOD TO PRAY"! 

After watching the movie GOD's NOT DEAD and seeing almost all students in the actor Kevin Sorbo's character's Philosophy class write down "God is Dead" in order to get along with the world, pass a class and not make waves....and knowing this actual sell-out of their souls for temporal material gain is the norm rather than the exception in real life, it is just heartwarming to see a 5 year old show up the majority of young people in America. Church youth groups in this country are packed with a majority of cultural Christians who put on their halo for a couple hours or so a week. They proceed to take off the facade and their faith the rest of the time and act just like anyone else around them.

Five year old Gabriella has shown them all up. She has not only shown up the spiritual paucity of the educated (and lost to perdition) class, but the religious. Her impressive statement that "they caught me again", when she resumed trying to do what she knows is right - being grateful to God, shows two things - this wonderful child, as part of the Elect, knows what Perseverance of the Saints really means. Secondly, it raises the following question: IF YOU WERE ACCUSED OF BEING A CHRISTIAN - WOULD THERE BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT YOU? If there is any doubt in your mind, read what Jesus said in the following three verses; then examine yourself to see if ye be in the Faith, as this little child most definitely is:
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
