Big Spring - Really Big LIFE

Big Spring, Texas is now a sanctuary city for the unborn as of January 28th, 2020 AD.  Baby-Murder is bad.  I was a witness to the vote for the ordinance which passed 4 to 2.  Councilmember Hartman was not in attendance.  It was such a thrill to see folks stand up and clap as the vote was announced!  To find out more to help make your city safe for babies, go here:

Big Spring now joins these Pro-Life Texas Towns:  Waskom, Naples, Joaquin, Tenaha, Gilmer, Westbrook, Rusk, Colorado City and Gary.  Big Spring is the home of Howard College, a VA hospital, a state hospital, Hotel Settles, a federal prison and a refinery (at one time the largest inland refinery in the USA).  We are not that far from two universities - Texas Tech (Lubbock) and University of Texas - Permian Basin (UTPB, I was there just a few days ago).

One of the key leaders of this effort came outside of the council chambers for a minute.  A group of  Abortionism supporters came over and confronted him, saying things like "You're not a woman!"  I thought this might escalate, but thank the Lord it did not.  There was a police vehicle right in front of the entrance, in addition, two officers came out to help calm the situation.

A news reporter was hanging out with the Abortionism group.  She never asked me my name, nor solicited a comment.  Things that make you go "hmmm."  One lady from the opposition had "Abbey Road" on her jacket  - were any of the ♫Beatles♪ aborted?

Consider Rebekah's experience with Jacob and Esau:

The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?”  So she went to inquire of the Lord.  The Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated ..." (Gen. 25:22,23)

There was a war within her womb - how does that speak to the humanity of Jacob and Esau? 

Compare this with Luke 1:41,44.  The Greek word for baby is "brephos" (βρέφος) which refers to babies inside or outside the womb.  So, even the Alexander the Great knew that unborn babies are real humans too!

President Trump spoke as the March for Life in DC recently (a first):

Y. Jones, an ophthalmologist, tackles the issues of animal rights and endangered species.  Charles Imes was the president of Oklahomans for Better Science Education and former director of the Association of Professional Oklahoma Educators.  Mr. Imes comes to grips with the controversies of climate change, abortion and eugenics.  Jay Hall (M.S. Math, 53 hrs. Science) argues for the reality of global catastrophe (recall the film 2012) and the historicity of Noah.  Fritz Ward (degrees in English, American History and Math Education) targets the fundamentalist nature of the global warming  movement.  Denyse O'Leary deals with neuroscience and the reality of the mind. Emanuel Tundrea (Ph.D. Modeling Software Product Lines) is from Romania and writes on the devastation of online pornography.  David Williams, recipient of the No Child Left Behind American Star of Teaching award for the state of Oklahoma in 2006, probes pro-homosexual activism and public schools.  Dennis Jernigan, who has recorded with Natalie Grant, Twila Paris, Ron Kenoly and Rebecca St. James, writes the chapter "No One is Born Gay."  The Lord rescued Jernigan from a homosexual background.

This book answers the question that Ben Stein has brought to the attention of today's culture conflict with his film "Expelled" ... Who is the Intelligent Designer?  Can Intelligent Design and Darwin work together?  What is the source of extra-cosmic information?  Can we find any good news along this cosmic odyssey?  Is it true that, "Intelligent Design is Creationism?"

Big Spring, TX - Sanctuary City (for the UnBorn)

Per KBST, 1490 AM - "The Mighty 1490" ...

Big Spring City Council Members urged to make Big Spring a Sanctuary City for the Unborn, 11/12/19 ... During last night’s meeting of the Big Spring City Council, several members of the public took time to urge to council members to make Big Spring a sanctuary city for the unborn.  This would require council members to pass an ordinance that outlaws abortion within the city limits of Big Spring.

https://www.facebook.com/KBestMedia/posts/2896524723704598

Mark Lee Dickson said this at the meeting, “They [Planned Parenthood] kill babies, they prey on the most vulnerable.  I ask that you expedite the passing of this ordinance.”

If you could hear your baby say "I love you Mommy!" would you say "goodbye" to your precious son or daughter?

What about assault and abortion?

Man-on-the-street interviewer Ray Comfort has a super video on this topic:

http://180movie.com/

From the Big Spring Herald:

Support for the ordinance was overwhelming, as half a dozen residents from the standing-room meeting spoke about their personal experiences, moving members of the audience and the Council itself.  When Dickson asked for a show of hands as to how many in attendance supported the ordinance, nearly everyone raised their hand.

In the early 1970's even the funny papers were Pro-Life‼  Have you ever heard of Eggbert?  Just search "Eggbert cartoon."

Ban the Ads - Ban the Bibles?

Twitter recently decided to ban political ads.  Hmmm ...  Bradley Smith (Institute for Free Speech, Law Prof. @ Capital University) had this to say:

Twitter’s new policy, and [Jack] Dorsey’s explanation for it, demonstrate a muddled understanding of the purpose of speech. ...  By Dorsey’s logic, free speech should be allowed only when it is ineffective. ...  He wants "regulators" to “ensure a level playing field.”  Does that mean limiting the dollars that Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can raise online? Does it require MSNBC and CNN to give equal time to conservative voices? ... A primary reason why the Founders adopted the First Amendment was their recognition that we couldn’t trust government to decide what is “fair.”

You can hear Al Mohler's take on this issue here.

According to Jerry Johnson (NRB), "Silicon Valley does not want conservative talk and Christian talk; they want to push progressive and Leftist values.  It's just the fact."

CBN reports that,

The NRB wants Congress to hold [Mark] Zuckerberg’s feet to the fire over these allegations of censorship.  They say there are five major questions he should answer, including how the social media juggernaut defines “hate speech” and how they respond to comments by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai, who acknowledged that some social media platforms "routinely block or discriminate against content they don’t like."

"Some Men I Know Are Really Women"

YES, that was a provocative title, but what are the biblical roles for men and women in marriage and the church? A good crowd from our church went to the Abilene Theology Conference (TX) recently where this was the topic.  Bruce Ware (God's Lesser Glory) was the speaker.  

Biblical Foundations for Manhood and Womanhood (ed. by Wayne Grudem) has  chapters by Dr. Ware.  One review of the book states:

These writers explore key issues, including the interchangeability of male-female roles, the meaning of submission, and the historical novelty of egalitarian interpretations of Scripture. This book will demonstrate how some views of manhood and womanhood tamper with our understanding of God’s character and why the extremes of male domination and feminism destroy the beauty of our sexual differences-differences that celebrate the excellence of men and women as God created us.

If you are not familiar with the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, be sure to check it out and learn more about the Danvers and Nashville statements.

Ryan Anderson (Heritage Foundation) has written When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.  The book takes on the transgender movement relative to psychology, philosophy, biology & public policy.

Another helpful book is God and the TransgenderDebate by Andrew Walker (Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission) which deals with questions like:

•      Can someone be transgender and Christian?
•      Should I mind if people who are biologically the other sex are in my restroom?
•      Is it true that Christian teaching is harmful and can lead to depression and higher suicide rates?

What was my question to Dr. Ware?  "Young Earth or Old Earth & why?"  Plz. get your copy of Is a Young Earth Possible? right away!  Here are some talks from the 2018 Abilene Theology Conference.

Is a Young Earth Possible? argues for a youthful world from history and science.  In the 1970’s, Australian doctors Robin Warren and Barry Marshall proposed that the bacteria Helicobacter pylori caused ulcers.  It took two decades before their conclusion was justly recognized by the scientific establishment.  Has Big Science misdated the earth?  Is a Young Earth Possible? relates to a number of key issues in the public square such as climate change, homeschooling, government funding of science, bullying, depression, fake news, net censorship and free speech.

"Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another."  1 Cor. 15:39

Just Say "NO" to Net Censorship!

Instagram recently crushed scores of popular meme accounts that collectively have tens of millions of followers.

President Trump recently held a Social Media Summit regarding the oppression against alternative views by Google, Facebook and Twitter:

I propose a Social Media Summit for those who hold to Biblical Creation and a youthful world.
