VIDEO: Advice from Alfie and me... for Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood does a great job. Their staff and equipment efficiently process millions of perfectly healthy babies reducing them to perfectly dead, less bothersome babies. They kill millions of babies a year with relatively few complications. They suck all of the blood and baby parts directly into garbage bags, out of the "patient's" view, in a clean, white sterile environment. They have perfected the art of murder... AND made it legal and socially acceptable, too! If they deserve credit for anything, they deserve credit for doing what they do with efficiency.

They have an article on their website entitled "Five Ways to Prevent Abortion..."

I can give them ONE way that would be guaranteed to be effective, if they are really interested.

If Planned Parenthood would just change the hidden aspect of their processing,... if they instead laid all those millions of dead babies out on tables to be viewed by the mothers before their "proceedures",... perhaps, just maybe, a few women would suddenly see their "freedom to choose" in the light of its consequences; a real, dead, human baby boy or girl!

Then again, Planned Parenthood isn't interested in ideas that might be bad for business.

Ray Comfort has produced a great little video to show how Hollywood has cleaned up some of its past "mistakes". I guess it's not acceptable anymore to call abortion murder. I wonder what changed between 1966 and 2004? (*cough*Roe v. Wade*cough*)

What must I do to be saved?!

"In Acts 16:30 this question was asked by the jailer of a prison in which Paul and Silas were imprisoned for preaching the gospel. God sent an earthquake so that all the doors of the prison were opened. The jailer, thinking his prisoners had escaped, was about to commit suicide when Paul called to him and said: "Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. At this, the man cried: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Back came the answer from the lips of Paul: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!"

Is this your question, my friend? Has God shown you that you are a lost and guilty sinner, helpless to save yourself by any efforts of your own? If so, thank God, for you are just the kind of person for whom the Son of God suffered, bled and died on the cross of Calvary. He knew your dire need and deadly danger and, in wonderful love, allowed Himself to be crucified in order that He might bear all your sins in His own body on the tree. As He hung there, despised and rejected of men, all God's righteous wrath against sin fell on Him, in unparalleled force, until every claim of God against sin had been satisfied by His substitutionary sacrifice on behalf of sinners. Mark the loud and triumphant cry of the Savior ere He bowed His head in death and dismissed His spirit: "It is finished!" What was finished? All the work necessary for the salvation of every sinner who will trust in His finished work of redemption and receive Him as Savior and Lord. ~ Alfred P. Gibbs - "Three Questions"


Dear reader, aside from Jesus there is no hope for you! Without the hope of a Savior we may all just as well commit suicide! But we who are resting in our Salvation hope you will hear our cries in the darkness before it is too late! "Do thyself no harm!" Just repent from your self-sufficiency and rest... Jesus has finished all the work that may be done! There is nothing left for you to do. Believe what He says and "thou shalt be saved"!

SICKNESS, PAIN & TRIALS: God's "Best Life Now" for you?

FOR FANS OF TODD BENTLEY & JOEL OSTEEN and others who believe God only wants health, wealth, and good times for His people.

From Charles H. Spurgeon's writing entitled "On My Back":

"Sickness in the believer is intended for the glory of God, and in part this design is answered during the trial. It is to be feared that the Lord gets but a small revenue of glory from some of us; we defraud the royal exchequer of many dues: much conscience-money might we all send into court on account of our long and heavy arrears of thankfulness. Sickness takes out a warrant against ingratitude, and surcharges us for our defalcations, by bringing our negligences to remembrance.

God gets many a song from his caged birds which might never be heard if they had strength to wanton on the wing. Psalms and hymns, like music on the water, sound sweetly from the deeps of suffering... Until the oyster is sick it yields no pearls... We make most progress in our voyage heavenward when the wind is rough: calms are more pleasant than profitable; better for comfort than for commerce; fairer in the present than in the retrospect. Affliction cuts the facets of the Lord's diamonds, and so they shine with a greater lustre to his honour. What the church owes to the file and the hammer no tongue can tell.

Would the church triumphant have been so glorious as it now is, if its members had been spared the great tribulation out of which they passed to their crowns? Would half the grace which now beautifies the church militant have been discernible at all, if severe trials had not developed it? Would the Lord have had honour among us if the chastening rod had been laid aside? For the world to see how a Christian can endure hardness, is a great glory to God. The great hospital of saintly suffering is a grand exposition in which the choice works of the Holy Spirit are exhibited to all who have eyes to see.

Oh! how foolish are we to fear and dread bodily suffering, when it hath no killing hand, but two hands full of blessings.
We fear our mercies and tremble at our soul-enrichments; we cry out against a friend as though he were an enemy, and chase away an angel as though he were a devil. If we could but see the words, "Not unto death,"(John 11:4)emblazoned upon the escutcheon of our afflictions, we should receive them with more willing mind.

DAVID WILKERSON: Sandwich "prophecy" story debunked as false.

See the editor's note at the top of the article HERE.

WorldNet Daily contributor Janet Porter caused a tidal wave of activity on the "prophecy front" which has ended in disaster. At the end of her March 10th article calling believers to "Heed Wilkerson's Warning" she said "So, when the guy who made the 2,000 sandwiches on Sept. 10 warns us: "AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN," I think we would do well to heed it."

Well Janet,... are you still going to heed Wilkerson's words now that the story of the "true prophecy" has been debunked? If you try hard you can likely find SOMETHING Wilkerson has said that has come true.

Like John Piper said, "Stick with the Bible... and your credibility will never fail".

DAVID WILKERSON: Do Sandwiches make him a True Prophet?

(NOTE: My title does not declare him to be a true OR false prophet. We must all consult the Biblical standards for a prophet to judge any person as a prophet.)

This is not prophecy, but before I even post this I know that you are likely here because you're trying to seek counsel on whether to heed David Wilkerson's prophecy of impending doom. Hundreds of people (like you, reader) are right now asking Google (rather than God's Word) if, since David Wilkerson made sandwiches before 9-11-01, he's a true prophet of God!~

Amazing.

Folks... Why are you being so lazy when something like a pending "Great Calamity" is at stake? Do you have a Bible? What do you use it for if you don't use it to answer questions like these?

In EVERY situation (that doesn't have to do with an online iPod purchase or finding a great tuna recipe) go to the Bible BEFORE you go to Google!

In fact, RIGHT NOW,...RUN!...before it is too late - to the Bible! I say this prophetically, as a "Word from God" with all sincerity! (See Romans 2:5; 2:16, II Corinthians 6:1-2... then keep reading from there.)

Are you about to have a heart attack?!! WHO KNOWS? Is the roof you are under going to cave in on you? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT! Will the very chair are sitting in today KILL YOU? If any of the above were to happen, 30 days of food wouldn't help you. If any of the above DON'T happen right now, you are still living in imminent danger if you are not in Christ. If you ARE in Christ, you don't have to fear any of the above, including David Wilkerson's "Urgent Warning"!

In the Bible, you may find that there's a bigger issue than any prophesied Judgment of God toward the USA: Namely the Judgment of God toward you personally. If you are not ABSOLUTELY SURE of your relationship with Him, please GO HERE or HERE If you still haven't run away to read His Word, read my prior commentary on this subject... but you HAVE to go to the Bible sometime.

Here's Jon Sharp's Boiled Down Version™ preview of what the Bible says about your TWO POSSIBLE ENDS...

OUT OF CHRIST = Sure judgment, wrath and eternal suffering.
IN CHRIST = Sure, eternal salvation with peace and provision THROUGH your promised earthly trials, tribulations, persecutions and death.

Now go get a sandwich and read your Bible.

JOHN PIPER to DAVID WILKERSON: "Stick with the Bible"

SOME GOOD COUNSEL FROM JOHN PIPER:

From "Desiring God"
Testing David Wilkerson’s Prophecy
March 9, 2009 | By: John Piper

The Bible says, “Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21).

David Wilkerson will cause a good many hearts to pound faster with his pronouncement that “AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.” New Yorkers especially will swallow hard: “It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut.”

What shall we make of this? The part that depends on the Bible we should take with absolute seriousness. You don’t need to have special revelation to know that the rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord is the norm in America. Therefore, we stand under the judgment of God and it is only a matter of time till the present judgments (Romans 1:18-32) give way to spiritual awakening or punitive calamities (2 Thessalonians 1:6-8).

But the part of the prophecy that goes beyond what the Bible says, we measure by biblical standards. Two things give me pause in Wilkerson’s extra-biblical specifics.

First, it does not resonate with my spirit when he claims that God told him to “lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials” because when disaster comes “grocery stores are emptied in an hour.” God might have said this. But it doesn’t smell authentic to me. Too prudential. Too reminiscent of the embarrassing Y2K excesses.

Second, my confidence level drops when the Scriptures are not handled carefully. Wilkerson says, one way we can respond is: “As David says, ‘He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven—his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men’” (Psalm 11:4).

This does not have the feel of authority to me because what Psalm 11:4 really says is: “The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.”

So my take on this prophetic word is that the scare will probably do good for a lot of people. The Bible is a scary book. And the future that is coming on unbelievers is scary beyond anything any preacher could conjure up.

But my own effort to be discerning says: Stick with the Bible, David. It is scary enough. And it is absolutely true. And your credibility will never fall.
