Jane Roe - A Real Hero
Jane Roe was not her real name. That's just the name the feminists gave her when they hijacked her life and her story to foist abortion on America. They called her Jane Roe (Roe v Wade). But as Pastor Jim Garlow recently quipped:
When Pro-Lifers are Only Mostly Pro-life
Blow the
Well, the most disgusting presidential campaign in my voting lifetime is over. For that I thank God. Let's take a really big breath. In through the nose. Hold it. Out through the mouth. There. Feel better?
If You Can Keep It
Back in the summer of 1787, on the narrow streets of Philadelphia in what is now called Independence Hall, god-fearing men were sequestered for 100 days in the hot summer sun. Laboring. Debating. And finally, in the end and only by the miraculous grace of God, crafting the US Constitution.
And the Home of the Brave?
Quite a stir in the NFL right now. Players and entire teams are now trying to make political statements during the playing of the National Anthem. And, as expected, since kids all over America look up to those spoiled-rotten, millionaire boys-in-men's bodies, the "kneel down" protest has spread to middle and high schools. It's all enough to to make this US Marine Corps Veteran want to strap an M-16 to their backs and drop them all in the middle of Iraq or Afghanistan so they can experience what it takes to provide such immense freedom that even enables them to protest while uniformed men and women hold the flag right in front of them in stadiums, standing at attention and saluting from the first note to the last.

Recently 1.5 million people signed a boycott of Target when it became public knowledge that the retail chain's bathroom policy is essentially "anything goes."
Be Fruitless and Subtract?
The very first command God gave humanity was, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen 1:28). This command is the reason I believe the Fall of Adam and Eve into sin in Genesis 3 happened very quickly after they were created. Maybe no more than a day or two. For surely in their state of Purity, they would have delighted in obeying God's first command! But no children are mentioned until after the Fall.
Economy Follows Character
As a Pastor, I really do try hard not to publicly endorse any specific candidates, nor publicly denounce any specific candidates for political office. No church I have ever been a part of has ever held a political rally in its sanctuary, nor invited a candidate to climb into the pulpit. I find American Christians typically fall into one of two camps regarding these matters:
Ironic Outrage
This week a video was released showing a lunchtime conversation with a high executive at Planned Parenthood. In the video, she discusses the harvesting and subsequent sale of aborted babies' internal organs. She does this as she sips wine and nibbles at lunch.
