but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40:8 NIV

We live in a time of great delusion. This is no time to depend on our own opinions. This is a time when the only source of truth that can be trusted is God’s Word, the Bible. Everything we hear or read must pass the litmus test of God’s Word.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 NIV
To understand what is happening in our world today, we must be students of the Bible or risk being deceived by our enemy “Satan, who leads the whole world astray.” (Revelation 12:9)
Hamas, who committed heinous, evil atrocities against Israel is being supported and defended by millions of people around the world. How is this possible?
They are deceived. They believe the lies and propaganda. Christians are not immune to this deception. The only safeguard against deception is the discernment that comes from knowing God’s Word.
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” 1 Timothy 4:1
My question to you is this: Should the Church speak out, or should they be silent? Few churches are speaking out against the evils of this present time such as antisemitism, transgender ideology, sexual perversion, and abortion.
Our culture is at odds with the teachings of the Bible. Although persecution is not a stranger to Christians in many other parts of the world, America is beginning to see extreme religious persecution for the first time.
Antisemitism around the world has increased dramatically. And pressure to support anti-Christian ideologies is alarmingly strong. Being a Christian isn’t getting easier, but it is vitally important! I am reminded of the Scripture that says,
“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5
Face it. Americans don’t live in a culture with a Judeo-Christian worldview anymore. Will we compromise or stand for truth? Consider the words of Jesus,
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 (Emphasis mine)
I don’t know about you, but I want to be free and I want others to be free.
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6

These 2 photos are of the same baby. The only difference between these 2 photos is the baby’s location (in the mother’s womb and after birth).
Did you know that you were created the moment your mother’s egg and your father’s sperm were united? Yes, you were created about 9 months before the day of your birth. At the moment of conception, your exact genetic makeup was determined: your sex, your hair color, skin color, eye color, all of it!
At the instant of fertilization, your baby’s genes and sex are set. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy. If it has an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl.

After conception, you started to grow and continued to develop until about age 25. (Emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don’t reach full maturity until the age 25.)
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16 NIV (emphasis mine)
God is present in the smallest parts of our lives. Even before we are born, He is at work.
Abortion rights advocates push the erroneous belief that the baby in his/her mother’s womb is not a human being. They refer to her as the “fetus”, “a clump of cells”, a “zygote”, or even a “parasite”. There is a reason behind this.
Unwanted human beings have always been belittled and dehumanized by language in order to justify killing them.
Rebecca Dyer
During the Holocaust, Jews were not considered human. During slavery in America, blacks were not considered “persons” because of their skin color.
A human is a human, and calling it anything else in order to marginalize its value is wrong.
“It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception … and that this developing human always is a member of our species in all stages of life”
Harvard University Medical School professor Micheline Matthews-Ross testified before a 1981 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee
Someone must stand up and say, “THIS IS NOT RIGHT!”
“Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 NIV
To be Pro-Choice means that you believe it is a mother’s choice whether her baby will live or be killed. Let’s call it what it is. You can call it something else, like women’s rights, autonomy, healthcare, etc., but that does not change the truth. Women who face an unplanned pregnancy should not be fed lies!
You have to ask yourself, “Why is there so much pro-abortion propaganda, misinformation, and lies?
According to a 2019 report, revenue for the abortion industry has continued to grow. It has been growing at a rate of 1.7% over the past five years and is expected to total $4.1 billion in 2023.
Follow the money!
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV
Many young people have been brainwashed by a pro-abortion agenda. Kristin Hawkins makes pro-life speeches at universities around the country. You can find her on YouTube. It will open your eyes to what we are up against and the lies these students believe.
(Jesus rebuked the Pharisees saying,) “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NIV (emphasis mine)
“All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.”

When you unapologetically stand for Christ and the truth of His Word, you will not only face a full frontal attack from the world, you’ll also risk being stabbed in the back by those you thought were comrades in arms.

My Thoughts: The measuring stick for truth claims is God’s Word, the Holy Bible, not human reasoning that is in conflict with the Word of God.
