WOW 2

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:3-11

Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) Comments on Abortion

Steven Tylers (Aerosmith) comments after pressuring his girlfriend to get an abortion:

Some sense of responsibility (or curiosity?) compelled him to watch the procedure, with an unanticipated result: "[T]hey put the needle in her belly and squeeze the stuff in and you watch. And it comes out dead. I was pretty devastated. In my mind, I'm going, Jesus, what have I done?"

A Psalm of David

Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV)
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. [14] I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. [15] My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. [16] Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Response to Abortion Advocates

Many of our governmental leaders keep saying we need to strive to make abortion safe, legal, and rare.

Are you kidding me? Abortion is murder!
Murder safe, legal, and rare??
What kind of insanity is that??

Ladies, don't fall for that ridiculous way of thinking.

What about rape victims, they say.

Rape is a horrible devastating act of violence and those who commit such acts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Does the baby inside the rape victim deserve to die?

Will the rape victim not be traumatized because of the rape regardless if the baby is murdered or not?

Killing the baby will not keep rape victims from remembering the torture they endured at the hands of their attacker, however they will be traumatized a second time physically and emotionally for years to come because of their choice to end the life of an innocent baby! Many women who have aborted their babies have said that the abortion is the emotional trauma that continually haunts them the most, not the rape.

I've heard several testimonies from individuals who were the product of violent rape, thankfully the victims of these crimes knew that murdering a child was not the answer to their situation. These children that were allowed to live, now as adults, are extremely thankful that their mothers gave birth to them and I am too.

No one would say that it is easy to carry and birth a child of rape, just that it was the right thing to do. It is a grievous thing that so much physical, emotional, and psychological pain is involved.

The murder of unborn babies is a sin against Almighty God.

Someone said to me once, "So you think ALL (emphasis added) women who have had abortions will burn in Hell?"

Clearly the answer is no, not ALL, however, according to scripture liars, thieves, fornicators, adulterers, and murderers are deserving of eternal torment in the lake of fire and ANYONE who does not repent of their sins, turn from their wicked ways and trust in the finished work of Christ to save them from their sins WILL be cast into that pit and perish on the day of judgement. Yes, including that kind little old lady down the street who has not put her faith and trust in the risen Lord.

PRO Abortion or PRO Choice as people like to call it is just an excuse for PROmiscuity.

Our choices have consequences.
Choose LIFE.

God is a just and holy God. He is also long-suffering, kind, forgiving and those who repent, turn from their sins and put their faith in Him will be saved on the day of judgement. All their sins will be forgiven, the old things will pass away and God will give them a new heart with new desires that are pleasing to Him.

It is only by God's grace and mercy that we live and breathe.
He ALONE is to be praised.

It is true--I do love my sins, my lusts and pleasures

GraceGems.org

("A Few Sighs From Hell" or "The Groans of the Damned Soul" by that poor and contemptible servant of Jesus Christ, John Bunyan, 1658. Being an exposition of Luke 16:19-31, concerning the Rich Man and the Beggar, wherein is revealed the lamentable state of the Damned--their cries, and their desires in their distresses, with the determined judgment of God upon them. A good warning word to sinners, both old and young, to seek salvation by faith in Jesus Christ--lest they come into the same place of torment.)

Lost sinner, I beg you to consider the state of those who die outside of Christ Jesus. Yes, I say, consider their miserable state, and think thus with yourself: "What, shall I lose an eternal Heaven--for short pleasure? Shall I buy the pleasures of this world at so dear a rate--as to lose my soul to obtain them? What advantage will these be to me--when the Lord shall separate soul and body asunder, and send one to the grave, and the other to Hell; and at the judgment-day, the final sentence of eternal ruin must be passed upon me?"

Consider, that the profits, pleasures, and vanities of this world will not last forever--but the time is coming, yes, just at the door, when they will give you the slip, and leave you in such a dreadful condition.

And therefore to prevent this, consider your dismal state, think thus with yourself: It is true--I do love my sins, my lusts and pleasures; but what good will they do me at the day of death and of judgment? Will my sins do me good then? Will they be able to help me when I come to fetch my last breath? What good will my money then do for me? And what good will my vanities then do, when death drags me away? What good will all my companions, fellow jesters, jeerers, liars, drunkards, and all my harlots do for me? Will they help to ease the pains of Hell? Will these help to turn the hand of God from inflicting His fierce anger upon me? Nay, they will rather cause God to show me no mercy, to give me no comfort; and to thrust me down into the hottest place of Hell, where I will swim in fire and brimstone!

O consider, that your doom is forever, forever! It is unto... everlasting damnation,
eternal destruction,
eternal wrath and displeasure from God,
eternal gnawings of conscience,
eternal continuance with devils.

O consider, that just the thought of now seeing the devil, makes your hair to stand straight up on your head. O but this--to be damned, to dwell among all the devils, and that not only for a short time--but forever, to all eternity! This is so astonishingly miserable--that no tongue of man, no, nor of angels, is able to express it!

Endure Temptation and Love The Lord

James 1:12-15 (KJV)
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. [13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
