Paul Proctor with some hard-hitting and sobering words in this piece:

It’s time to prepare for hard times, my friends. And, if you’re a bible believing, Christ-following Christian, I believe the coming years will be particularly troublesome. I say “bible-believing, Christ-following Christian” because our degenerating culture has all but stripped the biblical definition of the word “Christian” from today’s collective conscience so that it has lost much of it’s scriptural meaning, even among many of today’s attending church members…

Considering the unbiblical and unconstitutional legislation at hand, it’s looking more and more like faithful Christians could soon be viewed as enemies of the state for no other reason than having believed, proclaimed and obeyed the Word of God…

For the seventh year, truth tellers will be circling the convention of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a profoundly pro-abortion organization, May 3-5. Missionaries to the Preborn, a group of committed pro-lifers who have been exposing the abortion holocaust for years are sponsoring this event. A Slice Salute today to these consistent and fearlesss men and women who publicly show the forgotten faces of the victims. You can read details of their event here.

Often when one speaks out about the sin of homosexuality, even within the visible church, they are labeled mean-spirited and/or unloving. This short piece from Apprising Ministries shows that, in reality, the unloving ones are those who refuse to tell the truth.

Today’s Crosstalk will feature an important discussion on the international push to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. Seattle Attorney Margaret Dore and International Chair for the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, Alex Schadenberg, will be the guests today as they discuss the growing calls for legalized killing. (Washington State just passed the Death with Dignity Act.)  Here’s a quote from a UK paper from four days ago to demonstrate the slippery slope of the death proponents:

“The head of the Dignitas euthanasia clinic in Switzerland declared yesterday that he believed assisted suicide should be available ‘on demand’. 

Ludwig Minelli, whose organisation has supervised the deaths of 100 Britons, said suicide was not just for those already dying but ‘a marvellous possibility given to a human being’. 

The human rights lawyer said there were no limits on who might be assisted to die, as long as they had the mental capacity to make the choice. 

‘It is without conditions,’ he said. ‘A human right is without any conditions except capacity.’ 

Mr Minelli dismissed concerns that assisted suicide should be reserved for the terminally ill as ‘a British obsession’ and called on Britain to legalise suicide. 

He told BBC Radio 4 that the UK could even save money by allowing suicide. 

‘For every 50 suicide attempts we have one suicide and the others are failing, with huge costs for the National Health Service,’ he said. 

‘In many many cases they are terribly hurt afterwards, sometimes you have to put them in institutions for 50 years, very costly.’ ”

—Mail Online, April 3, 2009

The push is now on for “healthy” people to be able to end their lives at will in a legal clinic. It is, in the words of the assisted suicide doctor in Switzerland, death on demand is a  ”a wonderful possibility” for all of us. 

Hide the children, honey, President Obama is coming. The Death Angel, Barack Obama, is going to overturn the ban on tax funding for embryonic stem cell research on Monday, the news is reporting. One more population of human beings are now going to be destroyed in the wake of Obama’s cursed “change.”

To James MacDonald, Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, Tony Campolo and all the other “Christian” leaders who have spoken glowingly of Barack Obama, I hope you are enjoying the sight of fresh human blood soaking America’s soil thanks to our groundbreaking President.

The fact that two so-called “pro-life” Senators from Kansas are backing Kathleen Sebelius as HHS Secretary nominee is outrageous. There needs to be a roar heard from the pro-life voters both in Kansas and across the nation about this. On Monday’s Crosstalk, I gave out the information to contact Senator Brownback and Senator Roberts. Please read this column by pro-life nurse Jill Stanek and take time to contact the Capitol. Let your voice be heard. (Stanek is the one who used to hold the dying babies at Christ Hospital in Illinois–these were the babies who survived the surgical abortions and who the doctors wouldn’t even try to save. Our new President voted against a law that would have required medical intervention to save these children.)

Nadya Suleman claimed over the weekend that the Christian PR agency, Ambassador, would be representing her for media purposes. This raised eyebrows across the country due to the ethical issues involved in Suleman’s situation. Today, however, Ambassador stated that they are not going to represent Suleman and only gave her some free advice.

The sight of the eight frail preemies, who will no doubt need years of medical intervention, should be enough to prove the sinfulness of playing God in a lab and the selfishness of our narcissistic culture that produced this crazed woman. Now California taxpayers, already facing a catastrophic budget shortfall, will be paying the million dollar NICU bill for these children, and that’s just for starters.

WorldnetDaily reports that Barack Obama’s death march continues on relentlessly, this time targeting a whole new population of humans for destruction with your tax money.

Here’s a good news story that brought tears to my eyes. This report of a young attorney, pleading for an innocent child in the womb and offering to take the child, no matter what the health issues, will never make the major media. Real Christianity in action rarely does. I want to salute this lawyer today, Dr. Lucian Pavo of Argentina, and thank him for his testimony to the sanctity of human life and his willingness to sacrifice to save this child. It’s a story of rare and beautiful courage in the midst of so much cowardice and bloodshed of innocents.

Death enthusiasts in San Francisco must have been choking on their tofu today as 30,000 strong marched for life in that city. I say praise God for every one that had the guts to come out in the face of Barack Obama’s “change” and stand for the sanctity of human life in a city known for its moral anarchy. Would that every city in America had defenders of life like this. Message to the new President: We’re not moving “beyond” divisive issues like abortion—it’s an issue of life and death, truth and lies, light and darkness. We’re not going to join hands with the butchers of mankind. We’re here, we pay taxes and we’re not going to be silent.

SAN FRANCISCO,  Jan. 24  /Christian Newswire/ — More than 30,000 pro-life supporters filled the boulevard along San Francisco’s waterfront for more than a mile in the 5th Annual Walk for Life West Coast today, walking behind a 10-foot- long “Abortion Hurts Women” banner.

The Walk came four days after President Barack Obama’s inauguration and one day after Obama reversed the Bush administration’s ban on federal funding of international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information.

“We shall overcome!” Frank Lee of Asian Americans Against Abortion, said, addressing the crowd in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Lee joined Walk organizer Eva Muntean to urge opposition to the proposed Freedom of Choice Act which would eliminate all restrictions on abortion.

“Women deserve better, men deserve better – we all deserve better than abortion,” Feminist for Life speaker Karen Shablin, an African American, told the crowd. Shablin, a former member of the National Abortion Rights Action League who had an abortion in her 20s, said that 37 percent of abortions are done on black women–who make up just 13 percent of the population.

“President Obama puts a face on black genocide,” declared Rev. Clenard Childress, a Baptist pastor and founder of BlackGenocide.org who has spoken at the Walk since its inception in 2005. “President Obama is the fulfillment of what the abortion industry always wanted and that was a black face to validate abortion.”

But Childress said that Obama’s election is not the end of the pro-life movement–to the contrary.

“We thank God today for this moment. You’re not going away, I’m not going away. This is our moment,” Childress said.

Also speaking at the event were Diana Nagy, a singer who placed her son for adoption after becoming pregnant at 15, and Sister of Life Mother Agnes Mary. “We’ve made a lot of progress,” Nagy said, noting that 36 years after the Roe v. Wade decision, “abortion is at an all time low.”

“Let us pass on the love,” Mother Agnes Mary said. “Let us tell the truth, let us change the world.”

The Walk was founded in 2005 by a group of San Francisco residents to reach out to women who have had abortions and to show support for them and for women in crisis pregnancies.

Here is today’s Forbes.com piece, confirming everything I and many others have been saying for years. Evangelicalism is now officially apostate with the fruit of its teachings displayed in full color by its youth. We have supposed  followers of Jesus Christ cheering a President who this afternoon signed a law that will force all of us to fund child-murder with our taxes. Nothing more needs to be said as an epitaph but this: Evangelicals Cheered as Babies Were Sacrificed. These are not Christians, they are Molech worshipers.

I will, without apology, post this photograph of a victim of the human sacrifice taking place daily in America’s killing fields known as abortion clinics. This was not the most grisly where the child is cut into pieces. This baby died from being burned to death with saline solution injected into the womb. When I post the grisly ones, I get outraged emails from people who don’t want to see the photographs. I don’t either, Christians, but today, on the anniversary of legalized child-killing in our “great” nation, it is time to see the face of just one of the victims. It took seeing the corpses and bones of concentration camp victims to drive home the horrors of  the holocaust to the “Christian” population of Germany. It is no less necessary now in our American holocaust.

Here are the words to Malediction, a song written and sung by Kemper Crabb that originally was heard on the Hard Truth video as images of dead children were flashed on the screen. Read the words, and if you choose, click here to hear the song as it is sung. This blood-soaked activity goes on every day. 4,400 babies will die in clinics today in America the Beautiful and the new President we have wants your tax money to pay for it in reversing the Mexico City policy. We are spreading the death to other countries at taxpayer expense.

Our Founding Fathers began a revolution over taxation without representation. Taxes, folks, on stamps and tea. We’ve had 50 million Americans murdered in the womb in our lifetimes and so-called Christian churches are closing next Sunday so everyone can watch the Superbowl. God’s hand of judgment is on this nation for good reason.

Malediction

The judges sat outside the Law
And in their pride no evil saw
In setting teeth to Satan’s jaw
And feeding him our children.
When viewed in terms of cost and ease
An unborn child is a disease
A holocaust seen fit to please
Our own convenience.
A curse A curse the Law it cries.
A curse a curse on mankind’s pride.
A curse on him who would deny
God’s image in mankind.
Torn from out their mother’s womb
Denied the sky – denied a tomb
Conceived in lust to their own ruin
A sacrifice to pleasure.
The doctors with their blood red hands
Who love their money more than man,
With greed their god they lay their plans
The butchers of mankind.
A curse a curse the blood cries out
A curse a curse the heavens shout
A curse a curse on he who flouts
God’s image in mankind.
O rid us of this evil, Lord
And turn our hearts by cross or Sword.
Our nation cannot long afford
To live beneath your judgements.
A curse a curse upon their heads
O save them Lord or slay them dead
And fill our country with your Dread
And turn away Your anger.

Tomorrow is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The horror of what abortion is was driven home to Tom and me as we recently watched the ultrasound images of our newest Schlueter. (”Micro-Schlueter” as Tom says.) Seeing the tiny little heart beating strongly away and hearing that heartbeat again last week, the distinctness and uniqueness of an individual human being was blatantly apparent. It wasn’t my heartbeat that was blinking on the screen. It wasn’t my heartbeat we were hearing with the Doppler. It was another human being who, even by the 10th week, has unique fingerprints, who can yawn and who is wholly, utterly one of a kind. I have no rights over this child. I do have, however, an awesome responsibility before God to nurture, love and protect it from all harm.

I spent yesterday morning in heated email dispute with some Christians for my uncompromising stance against the agenda of Barack Obama. I am not charmed by his looks and charisma. I am not moved by his soaring rhetoric and contrived eloquence. I did not watch his swearing in. I could not. All I could see and hear were the broken bodies and stifled screams of millions upon millions of human beings whose cries ascend night and day before God’s throne. I am the friend of no man who will perpetuate the slaughter. I am the enemy of anyone who is the enemy of life.

The evangelicals yesterday shocked me with their willingness to make peace with the bloodshed, to relegate it to “just another issue” while claiming we need to give our dashing new President a chance. The shedding of innocent blood is never “just another issue” with God. Those who build their political kingdoms on the whited bones of the innocent are, in fact, the enemies of God. “All them that hate me love death,” says Proverbs 8:36.

Someone today in the news referred to Barack Obama as the revisiting of the Biblical Joshua. No, readers. Barack Obama is the revisiting of the Biblical Pharaoh who represents power religion. Power religion seeks to replace the one True God with the fierce humanist fist of the state. Our new pharaoh will bring oppression of God’s people, death to the innocent, and further idolatry among Americans who long ago turned their back on the true God of the Bible.

What is comforting in all of this is to hear the song of Moses and of Miriam in the book of Exodus as they saw God’s hand of deliverance. Pharaoh did not succeed in his desire to destroy God’s people. He himself saw his forces destroyed at the bottom of the Red Sea. It is helpful to revisit those joyful words, sung on the other side of the Red Sea.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:

“I will sing to the Lord,

For He has triumphed gloriously!

The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

The Lord is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation;

He is my God, and I will praise Him;

My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

The Lord is a man of war;

The Lord is His name.

Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;

His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

The depths have covered them;

They sank to the bottom like a stone.”

(From Exodus 15)

For a stunning musical treatment of this song, hear Handel’s Israel in Egypt. (”Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea! The Lord shall reign forever and ever!) When the choir sings, “The horse and his rider, hath He thrown into the sea!”, it is not just a description of what God did to the Egyptian forces of Pharaoh, but also a picture of what Jesus Christ did when he broke the chains of our Pharaoh, Satan, at the cross. Praise God for His deliverance! Keep standing for life. Decry what is evil and don’t let the winds of compromise ever move you.

Concerned Women for America sent out this alert today, and I want to pass it along. With America’s most virulently pro-abortion President in history ascending to his throne (according to the media, it is a throne now), those who love life need to be geared up to fight for the voiceless as we never have before.

On Tuesday, January 20, Barack Obama will become our nation’s 44th President and it will be a whole new ballgame for us. During his campaign, Obama promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) into law as one of his first Presidential accomplishments. FOCA creates a fundamental right to abortion by nullifying all state and federal laws that “interfere with” access to abortion before “viability” as determined by the abortion provider. It would overturn partial- birth abortion bans, eliminate parental notification, and force taxpayers to fund abortion.
While FOCA is dangerous, there are many pro-life policies can be demolished quickly and quietly without Congressional approval through Executive Orders. The one most likely to be a top priority for Obama is the Mexico City Policy.

The Mexico City Policy, which was implemented during the Reagan years, prohibits non-governmental organizations that receive USAID funding to provide or promote abortion as a method of family planning. Rescinding this policy will direct taxpayer monies specifically to groups that provide or promote abortions overseas.

Take Action: Please call President-Elect Obama at 202-456-1414 or e-mail him at president@whitehouse.gov and urge him not to rescind the Mexico City Policy. Please let him know that the United States should not export abortions abroad.

A warm thank-you and salute to Georgia Right to Life for unveiling their virtual abortion holocaust Memorial Wall online. 50 million nameless, faceless babies have been killed in the womb since 1973 with the permission of our government and citizenry. It’s time for these babies to have names. This beautiful website encourages those who love life to donate a name to one of these murdered children for this virtual Memorial Wall. I also encourage Slice readers to participate and support what Georgia Right to Life is doing. We need to be heartbroken and righteously angry at this monstrous slaughter of human life and all who defend and perpetuate it. Here’s the website. Maybe your family can name one of these lost children.

This commentary by Milwaukee pastor, Matt Trewhella, is right on target. With the very public apostasizing of seeker pastors like Ed Dobson, it raises the question whether anybody is staying the course. Praise God the answer to that is yes.

In this interesting piece concerning proper Protestant spirituality, Daniel Chew, author of Driven Away by Purpose, begins:

I recently had my personal spiritual retreat on Monday afternoon (December 29th), in order to seek God especially for His direction for the new year (2009). I have been clearing leave during this season so I have had the free time to slow down and take stock of this passing year, and Monday afternoon was the time I had set aside to seek God exclusively for an extended period of time…

The idea for this post came about in the course of the retreat itself as I prayed over the terrible blight of spiritual poverty in the [Visible] Church. It must be admitted that modernist Evangelicalism, with all its positive thinking, 12-steps-to-this and 7-steps-to-that programs, is spiritually bankrupt and the thirst for true spiritual reality has swept many professing Evangelicals into the contemplative camp in search of spiritual satisfaction yet all they receive are counterfeit trinkets…

Franklin Graham finds it “ludicrous” that any Christian could object to Rick Warren invoking God’s blessing on Barack Obama and his administration. Frankly, I find it ludicrous that any Christian would even consider asking for God to bless a man who has sworn to defend child-killing and homosexual rights. As Joseph Farah put it, God isn’t going to bless that no matter what Warren intones at the inauguration.

The Graham family has made a practice of speaking smooth, silky, easy messages to U.S. Presidents. There is no John Knox blood running in the Graham veins. There is no John the Baptist precedent from that quarter. When a President campaigns on a platform built on the bones of the preborn, it is the moral obligation of all Christians to cry out. Someone who claims to be a minister of the Gospel has an even greater responsibility to confront evil and to defend the helpless. The Grahams have refused to do that and the bloodshed continues.

It would have been a horrendous thing to have a Christian believer pray an invocation for Hitler and his murderous leaders who killed 6 million Jews. It is equally monstrous to think that a Christian minister today would pray an invocation for the murderous leaders who have overseen the butchery of 50 million American babies. Franklin Graham, we’re not going to remain silent in the face of Warren’s treachery, now or ever.

Pro-life leaders are seriously concerned that their voices will be silenced at the Obama inauguration. Read about it here.
