Father's Day 2012: God, our Father

God is our Father. And like a father, he teaches us. Instruction is not always cheery, and discipline is often the means of his molding. Let us not be afraid to learn at the feet of the greatest Father. His words are wise and His purposes, holy. He, like any true father, loves His children and wants what is best for them. The means to a pure end is often wrought with challenges and obstacles to overcome. Let us run forward and grow in Him, to grow and mature as a child of God.

Kirk Cameron's Thoughts on Suffering

"A Christian's experience is like a rainbow, made up of drops of the grief of earth, and beams of the bliss of heaven." -Spurgeon

Kirk: I recently met a man with a rare mixture of physical ailments who asked me, "Does Satan afflict me with pain, suffering, and ailments, or do they come from God? Does God allow Satan to cause my pain or does God send pain to teach me lessons?" I explained that this was a question that has been the subject of many debates for centuries. I confessed that while I do not know everything about God, we can know what He reveals to us in His Word and through our experience. We know that God is not unaware of our pain or powerless to stop it. He is all seeing and all powerful. Aliments and every bad thing, God turns for good for those who love Him and are the called according to His purposes. We know that God understands suffering because He gave His one and only son to sweat great drops of blood and hang on a tree. God can move mountains, dry seas, cast out devils, send angels, heal the lame, give sight to the blind, heal the sick, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and raise the dead. Job was afflicted by a devil on a leash under the supervision of God, resulting in God's glory, Job's good, and our instruction. Christ's death was our only hope for eternal life. God raised beauty from ashes and make old things new. Rainbows are a mysterious mixture of water and light, and our life on earth is a mysterious blending of our real choices, the effects of sin, and the power of God to make all things heavenly.

Roe v. Wade CAN be stopped

Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, 56 million children have been shamelessly murdered in America. The legal jargon of the case put aside the question of when life begins to defer to the "right of privacy" to justify abortion. But with the Life at Conception Petition, Congress can bypass Roe v. Wade by legally defining life as beginning at conception and thereby protecting it via the 14th Amendment. Biologists have long known life begins at conception (even my college nutrition textbook states it is blunt terms like this). This petition would make legal what was already scientifically accepted.

Watch the video, sign the petition, and listen to this poignant quote by Mother Theresa:

I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. So, the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love, that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts.

The American Holocaust

Abortion today is truly the American Holocaust. Hundreds of thousands of pre-birth children were killed since Roe vs. Wade made such murder legal. Do your part to stop the madness. Don't be like the German civilians who just let the Jews be murdered and called inhuman.
