LIFE INTERVENTION
MINISTRY
SIDEWALK COUNSELING AT OUR LOCAL MILLS
QUESTION:
WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS COME OUT TO THE ABORTION CLINICS TO PRAY, WORSHIP
AND INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF OUR UNBORN NEIGHBORS? SOME ANSWERS FROM
THE BOOK WE ALL LOVE TO READ.
Proverbs 24:11
Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let
them die. 12 Don’t try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn’t know
about it. For God knows all hearts, and he sees you. He keeps watch over
your soul, and he knows you knew! And he will judge all people according
to what they have done.
Luke 18:16 Then Jesus called for the
children and said to the disciples,
"Let the children come to me".
Isaiah 59:15-16
The LORD looked and was displeased to
find that there was no justice. He was amazed to see that no one
intervened to help the oppressed.
INJUSTICE?
As Christians we are to
be concerned with the concerns of our Lord. He is concerned about
injustice of any kind. In our day when the killing of a child is not only
legal, but our own brothers and sisters in the church are participating,
we must pray for the mind of Christ and then do as He directs us. I hope
that some of you out there will ask the Lord if he would have you to
stand up for justice and mercy for the unborn by coming out to one of
mills. Call me if you want more information. 722-1449
REVIVAL?
Christians who yearn for
revival in American Christianity
should consider the probable
relationship between innocent bloodshed (abortion on demand) and
unanswered prayer for revival.
Isaiah
1:15-17
From
now on, when you lift up your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look. Even
though you offer many prayers, I will not listen. For your hands are
covered with the blood of your innocent victims. 16Wash yourselves and be
clean! Let me no longer see your evil deeds. Give up your wicked ways.
17Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the orphan.
Fight for the rights of widows.
WHERE CAN WE STAND UP AND HOW DO WE DO IT?
The
following are the advertised abortion mills in our area. They are all
listed in the yellow pages and each of them sell the service of killing a
little preborn boy or girl in the womb, doing so weekly.
Our presence
on the sidewalks in front of these locations is completely legal and still
protected by our First Amendment right to speech and assembly.
Some
local ordinances have been passed to try and stop our presence but our
Christian lawyers have won significant cases in our courts and we face
no real (that is those that are not falsely made against us) legal or
civil actions for our Christ like actions at the mills. It is a lie of the
other side that we can not legally come to the sidewalks of the clinics.
What do we do at the mills? Our first action is to pray.
We pray for forgiveness for ourselves and our nation. We pray for
God to use us to save babies and souls. We pray for the salvation of
the clinic workers and escorts. We pray for our churches and our
pastors. We pray for God's favor in what we do and for grace and
truth to permeate our presence.
We
worship with prayer, singing worship songs and reading the scriptures
out loud and silently. Catholic brothers and sisters faithfully come out
and pray according to their traditions.
We
offer saving literature to the women and men coming into the mill. To
those whom we can talk with face to face, we offer "sidewalk counseling"
which consists of a compassionate presentation of the alternatives to
abortion; fetal development, how abortion hurts women and men; adoption
possibilities and the services of local crisis pregnancy centers.
We
call out to those whom we can not reach in person to "love their baby", to
"choose life" and we offer to adopt any child that is unwanted. When
a woman decides for life we help her to get to the pregnancy help centers
or to meet immediate needs.
We
evangelize by sharing our Christian faith with all who will listen.
We give away Bibles and specially designed New Testaments made for women
in Crisis pregnancies. Each year we have the opportunity to lead men and
women to a saving relationship with our Lord.
We
do use graphic pictures of actual abortions and we contrast them with
pictures of life. (Eph 5:11) One of the pictures we use as contrast
is a drawing of Jesus holding a young woman to His breast. Some
Christians object to the use of the graphic pictures. They object,
believing that good Christians would not show such objectionable material
in a public place. To them we try to gently report that the pictures are
the truth of a violent act that happens almost 4000 times daily in America
and that they do save babies weekly across the nation. Planned
Parenthood and the abortion providers lie to our nation, calling what
these horrible pictures report as being "choice", "reproductive freedom"
or "clumps of cells." As Christians we are to bring light where there is
darkness. We are to expose evil. We are to offer love, mercy and real
help. We are to destroy the works of the devil. The use of the
pictures, coupled with our other actions, carry forth these Biblical
directives.
99.9
percent of prolife Christians do not participate or endorse any kind of
violence unlawful acts against abortion providers.
Amazingly, there
seems to be great judgments, even among Evangelical Christians, that
prolifers who come out to the abortion mills are not loving and
compassionate. They usually come to these judgments by impressions
conveyed by the same liberal media that distorts most of Christianity.
Why are they (liberal media) believed?
Bud's Note : I hope the above
will help each of you to better understand what we do and why. I will
come to your church, Sunday school class, whatever, to make a presentation
on why it is imperative that Christians wake up from our slumber, repent,
turn away from our indifference, and begin to seriously reach out to our
neighbors in the womb who are perishing as well as confronting the
injustice of child killing in our society. You may call me at (916)
