In her 2014 book, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights: Reclaiming Abortion as Good for Society, Katha Pollitt suggested 6 myths regarding abortion:(1) The Bible forbids abortion. (2) Women are coerced into having abortions. (3) Abortion is dangerous. (4) There are too many abortions. (5) Abortion is racist. (6) Abortion opponents would never punish women.[1] Ten years after the publication of her book, Pollitt’s ideas are widely embraced by abortion apologists and by parents aborting their children.

For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham Hebrews 2:16 NKJV The Need for Aid What do you think about as the calendar moves closer to December 25th? Do you think of the lights, the manger, the angels, the birth of Christ? Do you think of gifts, wise men, shepherds, and barbaric kings? Do you think of your need for aid and that God gives aid? How often this month does the year 33 A.D. come to mind? Around that year two thieves and a King were nailed to crosses as they were crucified outside of Jerusalem. Why were they there? 2000 years ago the Roman ..read more

Reformation, Salvation, and the Power of God Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease. Will You be angry with us forever?

Jesus’ name is used frequently but few know Him. Many are perishing for lack of knowledge. How can they believe in Him who they do not know?

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. The Redeemer will come to Zion. Isaiah 59:19-20 In Part 1 we considered the downfall of truth as demonstrated in popular lies. We proceed in Part 2 to consider how the truth will be lifted up again. Can the Truth be Lifted Up? While visiting a church last month I met a man who told me the Lord began calling him from death to life after one comment from a Christian friend at work. “You know you are going to hell, right?” Hell, a place of bitter and endless torment where the wor ..read more

Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Isaiah 59:14-15 Truth is Fallen A 2021 Gallup poll found that more than 18,000,000 adults in the United States identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than heterosexual.[1] In 2019, 13.6% of Maine high school students identified as LGBTQ+.[2] In 2021, the percentage had surged to 29.3%.[3] In Washington state, parents will no longer be notified when minor children pursue abortion ..read more

You may listen to the sermon on this text here God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son… Hebrews 1:1 In recent articles we have considered the treasure trove of the first verse of Hebrews. The first great proposition of theology and the Christian faith is this: God is. The second great proposition that God is this: God has revealed Himself to man. The Word spoken by God is unlike any other word for it is powerful, enduring, and living. As God speaks so God does because God Is. Therefore, we ..read more
