The elections are over. I must say that I was a bit surprised but not overly shocked at the results. I am very sad to see that the U.S. has become so spiritually and morally blind as it has and as was shown so clearly by the elections yesterday. BUT that being said I know that God is in control no matter who is President. We need to pray for America and for all of those who were elected as the Bible says for us to do. We must follow what God and Jesus have said to do and not fear but pray and continue to be his hands and feet in this world to change it for the better! We need to love others and teach them the truth and stand up for what is right!
We need to pray more fervently than ever for our country to wake up from it's current path before we no longer have one. Pray that the U.S. will turn from being one that pushes God out and embraces sin and death over all other things. For things will not get better than they were by proceeding on the path of destruction that we are on. And people wonder why America doesn't prosper?
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:7-9 KJV
God will not bless a nation that does not even want his name or his only Son our Lord and Saviour's Jesus's name mentioned unless they are using it blasphemously or as a profanity. When they continually want to push him out of everything - government, education, and all else and the only time that they DO want to call upon him or ask for his help is in times of tragedy and trouble.
God will not bless a country that turns its head and does nothing to try to stop the killing of almost 4000 innocent children's lives everyday in the name of choice. God will not bless a country that does not stand by Israel. Nor will he bless a country when it's citizens worry more about who will give them a handout and free things rather than who will do what is decent and right! That does not value honesty, human rights, and justice.
The list goes on and on and we wonder why the U.S. is in such hard times now? My friends the U.S. is daily turning it's back on God and his word and then expecting Him to bless them. It doesn't work that way. It's time for America to awaken out of it's sleep. To take the blinders OFF of it's eyes and do what is right before we no longer have a country. Is this TRULY the kind of country that we want our children and our grand children to live in? What kind of world are we building for them?
All of this is especially true of those of us that call themselves Christians and yet do nothing to try to help change things for the better as the Bible tells us too! We are not to be Christians in name only.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 1:22-25 KJV
Christians we can not turn our heads and remain silent and not speak up for what is right and expect God to be pleased with us. I say this in Christian love!
Wake up America! Wake up Christians before it is too late take the blinders off of your eyes. This is not about political parties! It is about doing and living for what is right!
Jesus said...
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15:13-15 KJV
AMERICA we do not want to fall into the ditch! We need to pray for the U.S. diligently. And those who call themselves Christians it is high time to awake out of slumber and live as the Bible tells us to live. We have to stop being so afraid of being politically correct and hurting someones feelings that we are afraid to tell them the truth in love. This is NOT what Jesus did he told people the truth even if it hurt their feelings. And he did it out of love just as we should. Telling someone the truth is NOT judging them.
May God have mercy on and heal America and help us to once again get on the right path so that we may all live peacefully and loving and righteously again. And that our country will stand and it will be a good place for our children and their children to live in!
We must not give up but continue to stand up and be the voice for the 55 million children who have already lost their lives to abortion and the countless others that will lose their lives if we are silent. Keep fighting for the all of the unborn children and for an end to abortion! This is not the end it is just the beginning. We knew that no matter who won the election that we would still have to fight to end abortion. And so we will continue to peacefully and lovingly fight for the lives of our brothers and sisters! Stand up for life from womb to the tomb! Stand up for all human's rights not just some but ALL humans but especially the weak and defenseless for if we don't stand up for and defend them no one will!

As election day is almost here everyone needs to pray and vote...in that order! You need to ask yourself who would God and Jesus vote for of the candidates that are available? You also need to keep in mind that you are voting for more than just the President and remember to vote for those in the House and Senate who will stand up and vote and fight for what is right in this country!
Ask yourself this if a candidate will not even defend a person's most basic human rights...of which the foremost is the right to life, how can you trust that candidate to stand up for what is right on any other issue?
If you are a Christian you should only vote for those who stand up for life and are against abortion and euthanasia. All people are made in the image of God. Only God is able to give life and only God has the right to say when that same life ends. We need people in the White House, the Senate, and House and every other office that will do what is right and protect the sanctity of every life! Research all the candidates in your area and see where they stand on the issues before you vote! Don't just vote by what party they belong to but by how they stand on the issues! Know the facts and remember that many politicians that start off in the lower offices go on later to be in much higher offices and your vote can help them to get there. Every vote is important and every position that is held is important and could pave the way for those same candidates to make it into the White House one day. So please know where each candidate stands on the most important issues before you cast your vote for them. Pray and keep the important issues in your mind when you vote! May God bless America and help those to be elected who will do his will only!

I wanted to share this wonderful video because this is one I believe everyone should watch! This shows the truth behind the "exceptions" rule. Every child matters and abortion is NOT the answer for women who are raped. These are the true faces of those who have lived it and their lives matter! God did have a purpose and a meaning for their lives just like yours and mine and God doesn't make mistakes!

- As a State Senator in Illinois, Barack Obama opposed legislation that would have provided equal protection for unborn babies who survive abortions. The legislation: “[Provided] that a live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law.”
- The legislation was introduced after Jill Stanek testified in 1999 that, while working as a nurse at Christ Hospital in Illinois, infants who survived induced abortions were being left to die in a utility room.
- In May 2012, the House of Representatives voted on legislation that would ban sex-selection abortions, which occur when the gender of the child is not preferred by the parents. A study by the Lozier Institute shows that sex-selection abortion is happening here in the United States, with unborn baby girls falling victim. The majority of U.S. representatives – 246-168 – voted in favor of this ban.
- President Obama opposed the ban on sex-selection abortions, saying, “The government should not intrude in medical decisions … in this way.”
- Under Obamacare, millions of Americans will unknowingly be enrolled in health plans that include abortion coverage. These plans will charge enrollees an “abortion surcharge” – that will go into a national abortion slush fund.
- Obamacare forces employers – whether religious or secular – to pay for insurance plans that cover abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization, regardless of religious or moral objections.

I wanted to blog today about something that I have been seeing a lot of lately and I find it personally very disturbing. I'm fairly new to the pro-life active community. I have been pro-life all my life but until a few months ago I wasn't very "active" in the cause as I have stated here several times before. But in just the short time that I have been active in the online pro-life communities I have seen something that has been very shocking to me and I felt I had to say something. I have seen countless instances of pro-life people and groups being very rude, disrespectful, and in a few cases even downright mean to other pro-lifers.
I never expected this from the pro-life community. Now I know that when there are a lot of people involved in anything that there are going to be disagreements and differences in how people think that things should be done that's a given. But what I have seen and even experienced myself is some people that claim to be pro-life, (which to me is a cause that stands for at it's very core love) being hateful, condescending, and trying to tear their fellow pro-lifer's down. This to me is just unbelievable! Being pro-life we are suppose to be fighting to save lives and do what is right for our fellow human beings. How can these same people that claim to love and defend life not even be civil to their fellow human beings who are fighting for the same things right along beside them?
Sure we may have differences of opinion on things in life that's part of being human. But we should be working together to help end abortion as soon as possible not focusing on keeping our own little cliques together and looking down at and others who are wanting to help end abortion too! Or taking a holier than thou attitude to others who haven't been in the cause as long as others have. These people are focusing on all the wrong things! Over a million children are loosing their lives every year in this country and the best way, the "only" way, to end abortion is if we stand and work together. Not fight each other and waste our valuable energy and time that we should be using to save lives on each other. Now I'm not saying that you have to go along with everything that someone else believes, but you should be nice to them and let them help in the fight if what they are doing isn't wrong. Just because you don't share the same religion or political party is no reason to think that other pro-lifer's can't help in the fight to end abortion! And if you don't agree with someone and want to convert them to your way of thinking do you really think you will ever be able to convince them by being hateful, disrespectful, and mean to them?

We should be willing to help our fellow pro-lifers especially the new converts and those that are wanting to start their own groups and give them tips and a helping hand. Help promote them and encourage them so that they can help us in the fight to end the silent holocaust of thousands of innocent lives everyday! There is room and a place for everyone in this fight for life! And we NEED every good person that we can get to help fight this enemy! This isn't a popularity contest it's about saving lives. It's not a business, it's not a competition. Your fellow pro-lifers aren't the enemy - abortion, Obama, pro-choice legislators, Planned Parenthood, and all the other abortion clinics are! The enemy would like nothing better than to see us fight each other. Because while we are focusing on fighting other pro-lifers we are letting them go about their business of killing innocent babies in peace. A house divided against itself cannot stand. How do you think it looks to people who haven't made up their mind about being pro-life or not yet to see pro-lifers backbiting and being hateful to their fellow pro-lifers? Do you think that this type of behavior that is going to encourage them to join the cause? You need to ask yourself if you are helping the cause or are you hurting it with your behavior and attitude.
There are thousands of babies who need all of us to be their voice for them because they don't have theirs yet and if we keep fighting in amongst ourselves they will die without one! My brothers and sisters in the pro-life cause please stop the prideful and hateful attitudes and put "self" on the back burner and fight for those children they deserve life! Stop alienating those who want to help you save lives and work with them to help end this tragedy that is running rampant in our country! Pro-life is a cause of love and it needs to be represented as one!

This is a great article from http://www.lifenews.com/ This election is very important for the U.S. it could be the most important election in our lifetime for many reasons. If you value life, religious freedom, and liberty period you need to really search your heart and vote to get the U.S. back on the right path. I want to state also to my fellow Christians you need to ask yourself which candidate would Jesus prefer and pray and vote not based on any political party or who your grandparents and your parents would have voted for but for who stands more for what the Bible teaches that we as Christians should stand for.
The privilege of democracy carries with it the responsibility to vote, and in each election cycle it is important to consider what is at stake. In recent election cycles, American voters have proven that Life Counts at the ballot box by choosing life by a margin of two to one.
No matter your political persuasion, if concern for life motivates your vote, these are the top five most significant issues in 2012. The United States needs policies:
1. CURBING THE RADICAL EXPANSION OF ABORTION: President Obama has set in motion the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade through the enactment of Obamacare. Obamacare’s Covert Abortion Premium Mandate slips funding for abortion into health insurance policies, and preventive care guidelines that mandate insurance coverage for life-ending drugs and devices mischaracterized as “contraception.” Because support for abortion is so pervasive in the healthcare law, the only solution is repeal. To read more about abortion in healthcare, click here.
2. RESTORING FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE PROTECTIONS: Last year, the Obama Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under the clear influence of Planned Parenthood, announced that it was defining a “preventive services” provision of Obamacare to include “all FDA approved contraceptives,” forcing private health insurance plans to fully cover life-ending drugs and devices, including ella, an abortion-inducing drug.
Despite the knowledge that mandated coverage for life-ending drugs violates the religious beliefs and moral principles of many Americans, HHS has not budged and the mandate began to impact plans on August 1. By design, the mandate has a “rolling” start. With each passing month, more plans will be infected with forced coverage for life-ending drugs and devices. The so-called “safe harbor” for certain religious non-profit organizations expires on August 1, 2013. To confront this travesty, AUL launched a Freedom of Conscience project. Click here to learn more.
3. PROVIDING COMMONSENSE LIMITS ON ABORTION: The Obama Administration’s support for unrestricted abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy is out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. Recent polls reveal that 63 percent of all Americans – 70 percent of women – support a late-term, 20-week abortion limitation.
In particular, late-term abortions are exponentially more dangerous to women, an issue that AUL has addressed in our groundbreaking “Women’s Health Protection Act” which bans abortion at or after 20 weeks because of the well-documented risks of late-term abortion procedures. To learn more about the health risks of late-term abortion procedures, click here.
4. ADOPTING LIFE-AFFIRMING POLICIES IN LINE WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE WORLD: Under current law, the United States stands with North Korea, China, and Canada as the four nations with the most radical pro-abortion laws. The U.S. is one of only 4 nations (out of 195 nations in the world) that do not limit abortion after fetal viability. To read an AUL analysis of this tragedy, click here.
5. GETTING THE TAXPAYER OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF SUBSIDIZING THE ABORTION INDUSTRY: The Obama Administration is so committed to taxpayer funding and subsidies for abortion providers that they have worked to override the actions of duly elected state officials to eliminate or reduce taxpayer monies going to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. In fact, the Obama Administration was willing to allow a shut down of the federal government rather than see any cuts in the more than $1 million dollars a day going to Planned Parenthood through federal taxes.
Meanwhile, 7 in 10 Americans – both pro-life and pro-choice – do not want their tax dollars to fund or subsidize the abortion industry. AUL has called for an investigation into Planned Parenthood so that taxpayers can learn what was done with the billions of tax dollars given to the abortion mega provider.
