Abortion – A Response to President Obama

The following is a transcript from the video. John Piper illustrates the struggle that many of us have in trying to rejoice over and respect a president whom we believe is guilty of promoting murder; for killing is killing no matter what you call it.

* * *

It’s a magnificent thing: The only newly-originating life in the universe that comes in the image of God is Man. The only newly-originating life in the universe that lasts forever is Man.

This is an awesome thing.

And, as everyone knows, that reverence is not shared by our new President, over whom we have rejoiced.

He is trapped and blind in a culture of deceit. On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, he released this statement,

We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.

To which I say:

  • No, Mr. President, you are not protecting women; you are authorizing the destruction of 500,000 little women every year.
  • No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom; you are authorizing the destruction of freedom for one million little human beings every year.
  • No, Mr. President, killing our children is killing our children no matter how many times you call it a private family matter. You may say it is a private family matter over and over and over, and still they are dead. And we killed them. And you, would have it remain legal.

Mr. President, some of us wept for joy at your inauguration. And we pledge that we will pray for you.

We have hope in our sovereign God.

Joshua – Join The Journey

I am privileged to participate in the production of a daily Bible reading program called Join the Journey.  This year we have been journeying through the Old Testament historical books.  It has been a great experience.

I encourage you to check out the webpage and perhaps sign up to receive the daily emails.

In the past I have posted a video from the project in which I introduced the book of Exodus.  In the video below you will hear my friend JoAnn Hummel introduce the book of Joshua.

John Cornyn And The Art Of The Half Jest

John Cornyn @ RPTI was invited to attend the Republican Party of Texas Convention held last week in Houston. I was offered full media credentials to “blog the convention.” It would have been fun, but I didn’t have the time and energy to participate right now.

Although I could not personally attend, I have enjoyed reading what others have had to say. It seems that a video clip that was shown at the convention has prompted The Left to really get their panties in a bunch. They are cringing in horror about the Big John video put together by Senator John Cornyn’s staff to introduce him at the convention. It would seem that just like public policy, the left just doesn’t get it. The video was obviously what my dad used to call “a half jest.” For him, a half jest was something that sent a serious message but that was framed in a way that is sufficiently over the top so as to bring a smile to your face. Not humorous, but almost humorous — a half jest.

As a “half jest” this Cornyn video is brilliant. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Prayer Request For Scotte Hodel

I would like to ask that you join my family in praying for Scotte Hodel. I have enjoyed getting to know him a little over the last two years of blogging. He has been fighting the battle against cancer for a number of months now. Those of you who have gone through this struggle yourself, or have loved ones who have, know just how tiring it can become. So, I ask that you pray God will give both him and his family strength, wisdom, encouragement, and healing. You can read Scotte’s blog by clicking here. Swing by there and let him know you are praying for him.

And, here is a YouTube video he made that will further introduce you to him.

No Need For Alarm

Who needs an alarm clock when you have a bjillion kids. Okay, not really a bjillion…it just seems like it. Actually, I wouldn’t even consider trading my kids for sleep. I like hearing them yell, “He’s my daddy!”

However, I wouldn’t mind if they stayed off my head.
