Transcription from radio/internet broadcast:
Pro-life advocates are decrying a grisly new outrage in Europe: Face lifts and cosmetic surgery using tissue from aborted babies are being offered at clinics in places such as Moscow and Rotterdam, and women from around the globe are flocking. In many cases women in third world nations are being paid up to $200.00 US to carry babies up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the unborn children are aborted and sold to the cosmetic clinics. An increasing number of these facilities are now springing up in popular vacation spots including Barbados and the Dominican Republic where regulation is spotty at best. Michael Harrington, SRN News.
Thank you for your prayers and pings. God bless and keep you, using you mightily for His purposes on the earth in these days.
A dear Pastor/Teacher made this reminder to our congregation recently as we have been studying the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ:
"Those who will not receive the mercy of God now will get the justice of God later."
Surely He has borne our griefsOur Father, let them seek You as you let me seek You, wretched, poor, miserable, blind and naked, broken and with a contrite heart, for Your Word is Sure and Your Promise Unbreakable:
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:4-6
For everyone who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Luke 11:10Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have no money come, buy and eat
Come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without cost.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.
Incline your ear and come to Me
Listen, that you may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies shown to David.
Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
A leader and commander for the peoples.
Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will run to you,
Because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.
Seek the LORD while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:1-9
I am deeply grateful for your post with links. God bless you.
Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter,
Oh hold {them} back.
If you say, "See, we did not know this,"
Does He not consider {it} who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know {it} who keeps your soul?
And: "If you are slack in the day of distress, your strength is limited." Prov 24:11-12, 10

AMEN. I am very blessed by your post and your fellowship.
That sermon will preach.
Thank you for pinging FRiends.
Dr. Nathanson also became a Roman Catholic. God is good.
You are overflowing with the Word, a great testimony to what you have sown in your heart!
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
I amen your worthy prayer.
The rest of the story is that Jonathan Swift (of Gullivers Travels fame) wrote this in an attempt to improve the deplorable conditions that the poor were living and working in. His efforts were in fact successful.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together."No man knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return; O let us be found faithful at His Coming!
John 4:34-36
Thank you!
I can see the metaphor even applying to the Blood of the Lamb, slain for all men...
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans 8:22
That's a good post and I bump it.
God Alone is Good!
Thank you, Paul Harvey! (;
This is so hideous that it smacks of a hoax.
http://www.medra.com/ One among many clinics who have offshore associations. Outside of the U.S. you can get a lot of 'experimental' treatments. A very popular talk show host on health and longevity told the story of a friend who would go to Europe for stem cell rejuvenation. The pandora's box is open and it can't be closed. It's sad that there are people who aren't even getting this for life or death but for a few wrinkles or cellulite :(
Did you bother to read my posts?
Or, are you so wound up in your "cause" that you have lost the true vision for Jesus Christ. It is His Glory that is to be manifest in our lives. Do you go to church, and do you worship God while you are there? Does your Pastor/Priest preach Christ crucified at every chance, or are they vested in mystery and exclusion? Are you bound by rote and doctrine, or is the Spirit of God manifest among you? Inquiring minds want to know.
I have played church with the best. I have been a Southern Baptist elected Deacon I taought the "graduating" seniors ladies. The average age was 73, among the 30 or so of them), and an assosciate pastor of an Assembly of God. I led the song and worship, there. I have a fair understanding of Scripture, having spent three years studying full time (while working full time and raising three children) at a Bible college, and learning some Greek and hebrew along the way. Latin never appealed to me. I do speak a modicum of spanish. I can press 2.
Your zeal is noted. I am trying to give it some direction, according to SCRIPTURE. You are having a nice time patting each other on the back, but in the meantime... souls are bound to hell! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
