‘Unplanned’: A movie about abortion that changes everything

Unplanned
MOVIE STILL: UNPLANNED FILM

If you’re like most of us, you’d rather not read another article about abortion this morning.

The subject is divisive, the debate vitriolic. If you haven’t had an abortion, if you don’t love someone who has, or if you’re not considering an abortion personally, it can be tempting to ignore the issue.

Then comes a movie that changes everything.

Startling abortion statistics

Unplanned is being released today. My wife and I were invited to attend an advance screening of the film a few weeks ago. It makes the issue of abortion so real and relevant that everyone should see the film.

Here’s what I mean.

According to Planned Parenthood, one in four American women will have an abortion by the age of forty-five. How many actual women is this?

Here are my calculations:

In other words, only 8.5 percent of the American female adult population and 4.3 percent of the entire American adult population has personally experienced an abortion.

Even if you dispute my calculations, you’d have to agree that the vast majority of Americans who support abortion have never experienced one.

A scene you won’t forget

Unplanned tells the story of a woman who became a Planned Parenthood clinic director, then personally witnessed an abortion gone awry. (This scene is apparently what caused the movie to be rated R, though I’ve seen far more violence in PG-13 movies.)…

EL-SHADDAI By Pastor Paul Enenche

WORSHIP, WORD AND WONDERS NIGHT – 29TH MARCH 2019
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): PSALM 91:1-2; GENESIS 22:14
MESSAGE TOPIC: EL-SHADDAI

View previous MESSAGES by Pastor Paul Enenche

El-Shaddai is one of the Hebrew names of God that means ‘Almighty’ and means ‘all powerful’ and also means ‘the many breasted God’.

El-Shaddai in two words means ‘Divine Provider’ and ‘Divine Protector’

FIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE DIVINE PROVISION CAPACITY OF EL-SHADDAI:

1. He is the incomprehensible Provider

He beats your imagination with His provision capacity.

With man you may understand how he will provide a thing for you, but with God His provision capacity is incomprehensible, it beats the imagination of man.

If you want to comprehend God, you can never go far with Him and He can never go far with you.

2. He is the incomparable Provider

There is nobody to compare God with; that is why when you begin to look up to man, God begins to look away from you.

There is no human being that is a yardstick that you can measure God with.

3. He is the inexhaustible Provider

He is the Ocean that never dries and the Supply that never finishes.

4. He is the indefatigable Provider

5. He is the infallible Provider (Matt. 6:11)

He is the unfailing Provider; He is always there (Matt. 6:11)

Also Read: Divine Preservation Through the Word of God By Pastor Paul Enenche

FIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE DIVINE PROTECTION CAPACITY OF EL-SHADDAI:

1. He is the indomitable Protector (Col. 3:3)

Before anyone can locate you, they have to pass through Christ in God (Col. 3:3)

2. He is the incredible Protector

He has the capacity to protect you in unbelievable ways.

There are things to thank God that you have and there are things to thank God that you never had.

There are times Almighty doesn’t give you things because He doesn’t want to spoil you (Heb. 5:8)

3. He is the indispensable Protector

HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE PROVISION AND PROTECTION OF EL-SHADDAI:

1. Connect Divine direction (Ps. 23:1-6)

God protects and provides for who He directs.

Don’t walk in assumption, let God lead you.

God cannot protect you where He did not direct you.

If you need Divine provision and Divine protection, you must have Divine direction.

2. Connect Divine Presence (Ps. 91:1)

Make God your habitation; dwell inside God through prayer, study of the Word and worship and you won’t beg for what to eat.

3. Connect sacrificial giving/living (Gen. 8:20-22; 9:1-2)

Joyce Meyer Devotional 30 March 2019 — Joy is a Decision

Topic: Joy is a Decision [Joyce Meyer Devotional 30 March 2019]

View previous devotional HERE

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24

Enjoying the abundant life Jesus died to give you is based on a decision you make, not on your circumstances. Thankfully, you can decide to be happy right where you are and to enjoy the life you have right now on the way to where you are going. You can make a firm decision to enjoy your journey.

You can begin by saying out loud, “I am going to enjoy my life.” Until you get that thought established in your mind, every morning when you wake up, before you even get out of bed, I encourage you to declare out loud, “I am going to enjoy this day! I am seizing the day! I am taking authority over Satan—the joy thief—even before he tries to come against me. I have made up my mind that I am going to keep my joy today!”

Having a right mind-set always helps in every situation.

Prayer Starter: I thank You today, Father, that I can choose to live in the abundant life Jesus died to give me. I don’t have to live a miserable, unhappy life. I can choose to celebrate Your goodness and enjoy the life You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

From Joyce Meyer’s Ministries.

Infanticide Issue Prompts ‘Day of Mourning’ in Virginia

Infanticide Issue Prompts ‘Day of Mourning’ in Virginia



Pro-life advocates in Virginia, responding to Gov. Ralph Northam’s comments defending infanticide, will hold a Day of Mourning to fast and pray in Richmond April 6. The event is being called a grassroots movement and is designed after a similar gathering in New York last month.


The New York observance followed the January passage of the state’s Reproductive Health Act, which removed most restrictions on abortion statewide. An estimated 4,000 people attended the Day of Mourning in Albany, with 40,000 more participating through live streaming, according to LifeSite News. 


Participants at the Greater Richmond Convention Center are being asked to wear black as they call for the repentance of the sin of abortion.


“Have we already forgotten that Virginia Governor Northam advocated for executing already born full-term babies?” Elizabeth Johnston, the Activist Mommy, told the Christian Post. 


“Have we already forgotten that New York Governor (Andrew) Cuomo and his friends at Planned Parenthood celebrated child murder by lighting up the World Trade Center pink? Is our commitment to our unborn neighbors so fickle that we have already allowed our righteous anger to subside,” she questioned? 


As Christian Headlines previously reported, during a radio interview earlier this year with WTOP, Northam created a national firestorm over his comments supporting third-trimester…

Viking Ship Found Buried in the Ground in Norway – Urban Christian News

Norwegian officials say they have found a ship buried in the ground west of Oslo, adding that it likely dates to the Viking era.

The ship was found by use of geo-radar, and archaeologists say they have no immediate plan to unearth it, but they will be using non-invasive methods to find out more about it.

Vestfold county spokesman Terje Gansum said Monday the ship burial — where a vessel is used as a container for the dead — was found in the Borre burial mounds, considered one of Norway’s most important cultural heritage sites.

He said Viking-era ships are always at least 15 metres (50 feet) long.

The find is next to a museum promoting the local area’s Viking heritage. The Viking era was approximately 793-1066.

Christian MP welcomes stillbirth consultation

Inquests can currently only be held for children who showed signs of life after being born.

The proposals would allow coroners to investigate the deaths of babies, after 37 weeks of pregnancy.

 

Christian Labour MP Sharon Hodgson’s third child was born stillborn.

She told Premier the current law doesn’t make sense.

“If there’s a sign of life after they’ve been born and the baby still dies, they get an inquest but they can be showing signs of life during the birth right up to being born and just don’t make it over the line,” she said during Premier’s News Hour.

“Then there’s no inquest that takes place.”

Nine babies are stillborn every day in the UK.

Health minister Jackie Doyle-Price said holding independent inquests would help bereaved parents get answers over what went wrong following the death of their child.

The new powers would allow coroners to investigate and make recommendations to help prevent future avoidable deaths.

NHS

  

Doyle-Price said: “We want to do everything we can to make pregnancy safer, by continually learning to improve the care on offer so fewer people have to experience the terrible tragedy of losing a child and those who do get the answers and support they deserve.

“Rates of stillbirths in England are the lowest on record, but we’re committed to delivering on our ambition in the NHS Long-Term Plan to…

Christian Writer ‘Prepared to Go to Prison’ over ‘Misgendering’ Tweets

Christian Writer ‘Prepared to Go to Prison’ over ‘Misgendering’ Tweets



A Christian journalist and mother who was threatened with arrest over a series of Tweets about transgenderism says she is willing to go to jail over her beliefs. 


Caroline Farrow, a devout Catholic, was ordered by Surrey police in the United Kingdom to come in for an interview after she “misgendered” a woman’s transgender child on Twitter. That woman subsequently filed a complaint against Farrow with the police. 


Farrow’s interaction with police became public last week.


Susie Green, the woman who filed the report, is a well-known transgender rights activist in the U.K. Her biological son identifies as a woman and received sex-reassignment surgery at age 16 in Thailand. Such surgery is illegal at that age in the United Kingdom. 


One Tweet from Farrow read, “What she did to her own son is illegal. She mutilated him by having him castrated and rendered sterile while he was still a child.” Because of that Tweet and others like it, police investigated Farrow for violation of the Malicious Communications Act, which bans the electronic communication of a message if it is deemed a threat, indecent or grossly offensive, or if it is “false and known or believed to be false by the sender.”  


Farrow writes for several Catholic publications and websites, including Catholic Universe and St. Clare Media. 


“I remain prepared to go to prison…

San Antonio city council bans Chick-fil-A from airport

The San Antonio City Council recently voted 6–4 to prevent Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant at the city’s airport.

Councilman Robert Trevino, who made the motion to exclude the restaurant, stated: “With this decision, the City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion. San Antonio is a city full of compassion, and we do not have room in our public facilities for a business with a legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior.”

Chick-fil-A responded: “The press release issued by the councilmember was the first we heard of his motion and its approval by the San Antonio City Council. We wish we had the opportunity to clarify misperceptions about our company prior to the vote. We agree with the councilmember that everyone should feel welcome at Chick-fil-A.”

The statement added, “In fact, we have welcomed everyone in San Antonio into our 32 local stores for more than 40 years.”

“Everyone has a place here”

This is not the first time the Cathy family’s commitment to biblical morality has cost them business.

I wrote recently about a university in New Jersey that denied their students’ request to bring Chick-fil-A to campus, citing the company’s perceived “opposition to the LGBTQ+ community.” The decision caused one of the university’s deans to resign.

Last November, Pittsburgh city officials opposed Chick-fil-A as a sponsor for an upcoming kids’ marathon, again citing its supposed opposition to “LGBTQIA+ children and families.”

However, the San Antonio City Council’s action takes discrimination against the restaurant to a new low.

Writing for National Review, David French reports that the politicians punished Chick-fil-A for donating to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Salvation Army, and a youth home.

French, a Harvard-educated attorney, believes the city council’s…

Home of Palestinian Bible Society worker destroyed in Gaza conflict

On Monday, rockets were fired from the Gaza strip towards Israeli territory, reportedly hitting a home in Mishmeret. In retaliation, Israel targeted Hamas buildings in Gaza, with their leader Ismail Haniyeh going into hiding.

Israel opened public bomb shelters in most major cities and civil defence authorities cancelled sports events and public transportation in southern Israel.

On Tuesday, the fighting continued, causing one Christian man’s home to be destroyed.

 

 

Nashat Filmon, Director of the Palestinian Bible Society, a group who work in East Jerusalem and the Gaza strip, told Premier: “This morning I was talking to somebody who lost his home – one of our colleagues at the Bible society – the whole building has been leveled as a result of nine Israeli missiles hitting his building and causing the whole building to collapse.

“Of course, the people in the building received the warning just five minutes before, that the building is going to be targeted and accordingly they all left in their pyjamas and with nothing in their hands and the pictures that they got for the building are really bad but it explains a little bit of again the frustration on the Palestinian side who were hoping that a breakthrough would happen and some freedom would come to their area and soon.

“I got the news this morning only so it only happened last night/early this morning and his home…
