Abortion Is Murder!!!

Luke 1:43 - 44 “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (44) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.”

In New York they want to make abortion legal up until a mother is due to give birth. One of these days God is going to punish this wicked world for all the murders of unborn children. The world calls the fruit in the mother’s womb a “fetus”, but God calls her fruit a child. The word fetus is misused, a baby is not a fetus! A fetus is defined as - an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception. – how is the fruit of a woman and the fruit of a “mammal” the same? One is a living soul and the other is an animal. In a mother’s womb is a baby, and this is what God calls it, and it is a living soul. Here we see the fruit of Elisabeth (John The Baptist) leap when she was next to Mary the mother of Jesus. The simple reason the liberal left in the world wrongly calls a baby a fetus is to remove the thought of murder, but God calls it a baby. Since God is right and the liberal left is wrong then it is murder. Let me clear the air, only God counts, only His thoughts, opinions, and judgments count, all others are liars, “…let God be true, but every man a liar…That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” Romans 3:4 “That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings” God said, we can only be justified in our language if we trust what God says, not the liberal left. Since we have proven that the fruit of a mother’s womb is a baby (or a living soul) and not a fetus, let us move on. God called the baby in a mother womb a reward from Him, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”  Psalms 127:3 Some folks would give anything to be a parent and we see mothers, many who just murder their reward from God. Why not just give it up for adoption, why must that reward from God be murdered? Yes, I said murdered, if you have had an abortion or are going to have an abortion you are a murderer of the fruit or living soul God has trusted into your womb for love and care. Look at what God said He hates, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: (17) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,” Proverbs 6:16 People do not get more innocent than a baby in its mother’s womb. It would bother me, it would scare me if I did something against God that He hates. It would bother me, if I shed the blood of an innocent life, especially one as defenseless as a baby in its mother’s womb. I fear God’s judgment and I thank God everyday that I am saved, and my sins have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. I fear God, it is the lack of this fear that causes young mother to disregard God and murder their unborn child, whom God has put in the safety of their womb. Who are you going to trust God or the liberal leftist who are destined for the eternal lake of fire? God said in Ecclesiastes 12:13 - 14 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man…For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” How will you young ladies stand before Jesus Christ after you have murdered a living soul God set in your womb. What do you think Jesus Christ will say to you in your judgment day? If you are a Christian and have had an abortion you have disgraced God, you have listened to lost heathen and have rejected God, and His Son Jesus Christ. You need to repent of your murderous sin and ask God to forgive you. That sin is also covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, but admission and asking for forgiveness is essential. Do not listen to the sick minded people of this lost world, preachers and churches who agree with them, trust God and His word. God calls them the devil’s children, “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word…Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:43 – 44 Young ladies, heed the word of God, think about what you are thinking of doing, you are about to murder a living soul. There are ways to prevent pregnancy, study it. And if you get pregnant then give it for adoption, it is better to be shamed before people than to be shamed before Almighty God in the day of judgment. Never forget, ABORTION IS MURDER!!!

Give God All Gory, Because All Things Should Glorify God.

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:15 – 17

This passage of scripture is speaking of Jesus Christ Who is the image of God. The main point today for our study is “all things were created by him, and for him” everything in creation was created to bring glory to God. However, when dealing with mankind you are dealing with a selfish people. People are so selfish that God said, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator…” Romans 1:25 selfishness causes man to think so highly of themselves that they earnestly believe that they are as powerful as God. To hear God say it man can do nothing for themselves, however, hear man say it, man can do anything they set their mind too. This is why they have changed the truth into a lie, to glorify themselves instead of God who truly deserves all glory. Man gets this false thought from Satan, who challenged God and wanted to be God and fell as an angel. Think about it, Eve wanted to be like God and fell, “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5 Adam chose to eat of the fruit because his beloved wife had, choosing Eve over God for selfish reasons. The Israelites constantly chose selfishness over God’s glory, and so do much of Christendom of today. You cannot walk into many churches today who give God all glory, not in song, prayer, or worship, and certainly not in actions. When you look into the average churches beliefs you will not find God’s glory, you only find mans. If anything, that happens or anything you do, say, or think does not glorify God then it is done in vain. Salvation is about God’s glory in His Son Jesus Christ, God saves sinners, sinners cannot save themselves. If anything in your life is for self-glory then it is anti-God, Jesus said “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” John 5:19 Jesus never did anything for His own glory, everything He did was for His Father’s glory, and “this should be our example” doing everything for God’s glory. The Apostle Paul, who was most likely the greatest human outside of Jesus Christ, admitted that only by God’s grace was he what he was, he never took credit or seek glory for himself. Paul wrote these words, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 God has ordained what belongs to Him to deliver glory to Himself thru those that He has chosen. Paul was not selfish, he did not calculate what was good for him, Paul never seek any glory, nor did he take any credit for it. All things are done by the Fathers gracious hands and therefore He must receive all the glory. If churches cannot give God the glory then they’re not a church, if a Pastor cannot give God the glory then they’re not a Pastor, and if a Christian cannot give God the glory then they’re not a Christian. If God did not save you, you’re not saved, if God did not put you into a church then you’re not a church member. A Pastor should never receive glory for his work, it is God who set you in place, and it is God who gives you the ability and a place to preach. One of the greatest preachers in history was Charles Haddon Spurgeon, he is more quoted than any other source of biblical commentary. While he was a great man and a brilliant biblical mind, he never once failed to give God all glory and left none for himself. Folks, it is all by and for Jesus Christ, and if it does not glorify His Father than it is not “of God”. “And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Isaiah 2:3 

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Psalms 23:2 - 3 “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. (3) He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”

The Psalmist begins with “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Verse 1 The word “Shepherd” carries a lot of thought, and to us who are believers in Jesus Christ it carries many thoughts. It means that Jesus is the Supreme caretaker of the flock, He loves us with every inch of His being and is the Sovereign Supreme supplier of our ever need. In this world it is easy to forget who controls the entire universe. It is easy to, in our most troublesome time to forget that Jesus cares for us and He will never forsake us or leave us to ourselves, A Great Shepperd never leaves His sheep, ever! Jesus loved us when the Father chose us before the foundation of the world. We were the greatest gift the Father ever gave to Him, and He is the greatest gift the Father ever gave to us.  W.E. Vine says this name “Shepperd” goes much farther than a leader, Vine says it also means “the supreme protector and leader of the nation” that is God’s Chosen Nation Spiritual Israel or Gods elect. He is our protector and supplies our ever need. It is easy to get caught-up in the worlds thinking and thinking that we must worry and concern ourselves with worldly happenings, even happenings in our own life, but remember who the Great Sheppard is and that He will supply our every need. David wrote “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” V. 2 We do not make it ourselves, God did not leave it up to us to figure it all out. He leads us to the green pastures He has prepared for us. If we believe in the predestination of God, then everything in our life is pre-ordained. Paul wrote proof of this in Ephesians 1:11 “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” God works ALL THINGS after the counsel of His own will, that’s how He MAKES us lie down in green pastures. Even in heaven He has a place prepared for us. “… I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2 Sometimes we may forget these things, but remember God promised us these things, He has your life and will never let you go it alone. “… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 David also promised in verse 3 “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” The word “restoreth” means - to turn back – He turns me back from sinfulness and causes me to be righteous in His eyes. See the word “Shepperd” in verse 1 also carries the thought of “a mediator between God and man” according to W.E. Vine. It is His being a Mediator that restores us, a bridge between a Righteous God and sinful people. It is He that leads us to the paths of righteousness, something we cannot do ourselves. God said it best in Isaiah 42:16 “And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” David finished with these words, “for his name's sake” Everything God does is for His glory, we are simply the benefactors of His glory. Praise God!!!
