The killing goes on. The pro-death escorts are more numerous, meaner and better organizaed
then ever. They have obviously been emboldened by Barack Obama's ascent to power. Two observations really
stand out today, although nothing has changed: the patrons are disproportionately black and personally I have never
witnessed an obvious Muslim going in to abort. There were about 50 pro-lifers to 12-15 pro-death escorts this morning
until about 50 people walked up on the oppo- site of the street to pray.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE WORD: Have you thought about the attack on God's Word coming from all corners of the
world today?The entire world is in rebellion against God's Word. That is what banning The Ten Commandments and The Bible are
all about. There is a sinister force that simply does not want you or your loved ones to read The Bible for yourselves. About
18 months ago I received from Drew, the chief death escort at the Louisville Abortion Mill, a list of reasons (which I believe
I still have) why The Bible is false. They were easily refuted, but that made no difference. Recently I have been presented
with accusations against The Bible from those in the Church, Believers. Someone has prepared a list of 'Talking Points' (it
seems) as to why we cannot rely on the Bible. I will discuss only the first 'reason,' let you judge. The others speak of only
the New Testament, as though the Bible consists only of this portion, totally ignoring the fact that The Word, The Old Testament,
existed before The Church was founded and was handed down to us by the Jews (Hebrews). It is amazing to me that, although
Jesus and The Apostles taught from this Written Word, many of today's Believers will totally discount that. In fact, our Bible
says Jesus was The Word (Logos). So, onto the very first point of this list attacking The Bible: Point #1- and I quote: "Did
our Lord write any part of the New Testament or command His Apostles to do so? Our Lord Himself never wrote a line, nor is
there any record that He ordered His Apostles to write; He did command them to teach and to preach." Now, please open
Your Bible, any edition, because I have checked every edition I have, including both Protestant Bibles and my 50-year-old
Catholic edition. Open to Revelation 1:19. This is Jesus speaking to The Apostle John: "Write the things which thou hast
seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter." Please read this again in YOUR Bible. The translations
vary a little but they all use the word "write..." from Jesus, an instruction to the Apostle John. Now compare YOUR
Bible to #1 Statement above: "Our Lord Himself never wrote a line, nor is there any record that He ordered His Apostles
to write." This is a blatant falsehood being promoted either willingly or knowingly or, at best, ignorantly. What is
the purpose of such blatant untruths? To keep you out of The Bible, The Word of God, for yourselves. Why, because this is
where the Truth lies. God tells us "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget
thy children." (Hosea 4:6). Peter tells us in 1Peter2:9: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,a holy
nation, a peculiar people;". This is a frightening Word from God. If we reject knowledge, He will reject our children.
So, unbelievers like Drew reject The Word, misguided Protestants and Catholics reject knowledge (for example, the 'church'
that is screaming anti-Biblical hatred at the funerals of fallen soldiers and the ACLU is defending them), academics are rejecting
The Word, educators, historians, archaeologists, politicians. The times are certainly perilous and getting more so.
As we enter the age to come, I can tell you, frankly and honestly, that I consider my biggest asset is The Word hidden in
my heart. My home equity, farmland, savings, silver can all pass away in an in-stant (and I will not be surprised), but The
Word will never pass away. What institution, what preacher or priest can honestly say that they 'will never leave me or forsake
me?' What institution, preacher or priest can 'give the angels charge over me?' What institution, preacher or priest has 'prepared
for me a mansion?' What institution, preacher or priest died for my sins? What institution, preacher or priest, has not been
'corrupted' and their bodies or buildings not returned to ashes? I believe in the simple Gospel, "Jesus Christ and Him
Crucified." Proverbs 3 says that the merchandise (gain from) wisdom is better (more profitable) than the merchandise
(gain from) silver and gold. I am counting on that. Again, in facing the future, I consider this my greatest asset.
Remember, I am not pompous enough or foolish enough to think that everyone wants to read these emails. But, there is someone
who will profit from them, because I have been assured that God's Word 'will not return unto Him void.' For the sake of you
and your children, study His Word. If you wish to be deleted, there is no need to change your email address, simply respond
as such to this.
Thank you all Pro-Lifers.
Before closing, let me return to Point #1 above, since
this is so anti-Biblical. The 'Comment' following this point reads: "If reading the Bible were a necessary means of salvation,
Our Lord would have made that statement and also provided the necessary means for His followers." Remember in Revelations
1:19 where Jesus specifically commanded His Apostle John 'to write the things thou hast seen, and the things which are, and
the things which shall be hereafter?" John was personally commanded by The Risen Christ, The Alpha and The Omega,"
to write this Book. In verse 3, Chapter 1, John further writes, "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words
of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." Did you notice 'Blessed,'
not frightened or scared, but 'Blessed (or Happy)." John closes this Book that Jesus commanded with this admonition: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of
the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book." (Rev. 22:18,19) Serious stuff, isn't it? God did 'provide the necessary means for
His followers,' it is called The Bible.
