Abortionist is “Elated” About Killing Babies: “Being an Abortion Doc Has Taught Me a Lot About Life”

The British publication The Guardian published an article entitled, “Being an abortion doctor has taught me a lot about life.”

In the article, a British abortionist explained how happy she is to be doing abortions. Right after mentioning the blisters on her “operating” hand caused by the friction of the forceps as she tears apart late late-term preborn children, she says:

I can’t say this is exactly what I had in mind when I was 17 and writing my Ucas [Universities and Colleges Admissions Serv..

How to Let Go of Loneliness

Christmastime is, for the most part, an enjoyable season for most people. But, for many of us, it’s a season of painful memories, depression and loneliness. Sometimes we choose to isolate ourselves from others and sometimes we face loneliness through no fault of our own.

Loneliness is so painful that people will try anything to relieve it. We medicate with drugs, alcohol, sexual promiscuity, pornography, and other addictive behaviors. Loneliness can be especially dangerous to people in recovery..

“I Loved Heresy…But the Holy Spirit Found Me” — Thomas C. Oden (1931-2016) and the Recovery of Christian Orthodoxy

“I think the honest answer is that I loved the fantasies and I loved the revolutionary illusions. I truly loved them…. I was one of those who was way out on the far left edge of accommodating to modernity. And I don’t know how but the Holy Spirit found me.”

HERE AND YET TO COME

Heb. 1:2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…

History is just that, HIS STORY. The world was a far different place before Jesus appeared. He pierced the darkness that had dominated human history since the fall of man. He actually brought hope for all mankind into the world. No wonder the angels were singing. The shepherds encounter with the angelic choir kind of sums up everything. The darkness gave way to light, good news of great joy, today a Savior has been born in Bethlehe..

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Morning
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,
that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. § [He] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. § As by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one M..

Loneliness: What the Bible Says About Overcoming it

We all have heard stories about how a husband and wife that have been married for many decades die within a short time of one another. In many of these cases, the surviving spouse is in excellent health, yet a few short weeks or months later, they too pass away. It is clear from these cases that many of these surviving spouses literally lose their will to live, which hastens their death. That being said, many people experience loneliness and wonder what the Bible says about overcoming it.

No Violent Act in U.S History Has Claimed More Lives Than Abortion, 59 Million

The fragility of life once again became apparent to me last week, when I received a call from a dear friend, who was letting me know that she was in the hospital.

A week before we had been laughing together–the day of the call, she struggled to speak.

My colleagues and I have been praying hard for a quick recovery for my friend. She is indeed a survivor, and I am hoping that we will be back together laughing well before Christmas.

But the incident reminded me of the immeasurable value of each..
