Prayer

Heb. 13-4: "Marriage should be honoured by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral".

We pray Father God for our families and our children.  The future of our nation depends on the health of our families.We pray for a generation growing up without a knowledge of You, and those without the love and security of a family,  a mother and  a father as God ordained.  We ask in Jesus' Name. Amen  

European Parliament

Pro-lifers in Europe are urging  their MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) to vote against the   De Keyser report on “Human Rights in the World”. Pro-lifers  insist  that “taking the life of unborn children of poor parents and sterilising poor women is not an effective way of dealing with poverty. There are many proven and better ways of relieving poverty without taking the lives of unborn children. Abortion is not a fundamental human right and should not  be forced on poor women via policies of the European Union. Abortion is not an aspect of ‘reproductive health’. Taking a human life is a major break with the Hippocratic tradition on which modern healthcare is based, and it is not for the European Parliament to decide to destroy the ethical foundations of healthcare.” Pray that the pro-life vision prevails in the  enlarged European Union.

The Eagle Has Landed!

In California it's legal to kill a human baby by the horrible D&X  procedure, but it's illegal to destroy an eagle egg, and there's a large fine. We hear no debates about at what stage the egg becomes an eagle or has "meaningfull life". You break an eagle egg, you kill an eagle. Simple!
