Two Years Since Victory From Court Case!

Dear family and friends in Christ,

Today Monday 22nd June is a very special day for us and I’m sure for all freedom loving fellow countrymen in Australia, as it marks 2 years since we won the court case in the Supreme Court of Appeal for Freedom of Speech and Religion after a 5 year battle in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and then the Supreme Court. I’m sure we will celebrate this monumental day for years to come in remembrance of the victory against a bad piece of legislation which almost took away our rights to declare Jesus as the only way to the Father in heaven!

On a personal note, it’s also a special day that brought great joy to our family as the Lord blessed my wife and I with our 3rd child who turns 2 years old today!  So every year at her birthday we will give God the glory for helping us stand our ground for His righteousness and justice in our nation of Australia to see this great victory for the Kingdom of God!

Rescue Sri Lanka – Summer Clothes Needed Desperately

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone of you for your ongoing prayer support for the nation of Sri Lanka, which appears to have just finished a bloody civil war. It is reported that in the past few months thousands of civilians have died and many more injured due to the horrific fighting in Sri Lanka. The government has declared that they have captured all areas controlled by the rebels (LTTE) and that the war is officially over.

However, now comes this most important season of rebuilding this war-torn region, where hundreds of thousands of people are either displaced or have become refugees. My family members who live in Colombo (the capital city )have shared with me some good news that for possibly the very first time Buddhist monks and other clergyman from other religions, along with people from all different race groups were collecting much needed food, water and other essential supplies for the people in the north of the country.

The Power Of A Mother’s Prayer

By Ruth L. Whitfield      Charisma Channels – Women  

I remember seeing my mother kneeling at the side of her bed and praying aloud for each of her children and grandchildren. That memory is forever etched in my mind and I will never forget sensing a strong presence of God through her intercession. I came away with a sense of reverential fear and trust that no matter what would happen to any of us, God would honor her prayers on our behalf.

My mother is in glory now and it’s a comfort to know that the Lord continues to honor those prayers. It encourages me to continue to pray for my own children and grandchildren no matter how uncertain their futures or what they are currently facing. (more…)

“This photo happened and God used it to show people that this baby in mum’s tummy is alive. He’s pleased that his photo conveyed that message.” (Photo by: Michael Clancy)

(Villa Rica, Georgia)—9-year-old Samual Armas was the boy who was “born famous” after photographer Michael Clancy shot the “Fetal Hand Grasp” in 1999; a photo showing 21-week old Armas in his mother’s womb grasping a doctor’s finger during surgery to correct spina bifida. That photograph, dubbed “The Hand of Hope” travelled the world, changing and saving countless lives.

Said Clancy, who was “pro-choice” before the photo, but now is actively pro-life, “It’s just a miracle picture, a miracle moment. It shows the earliest human interaction ever recorded.” (more…)

Exchanging Vows As Couples Shun Religion In Favour Of Civil Ceremonies

By Sharon Labi – The Sunday Telegraph
 
COUPLES are shunning religious wedding ceremonies in record numbers and going down the civil path to marriage to gain control and avoid pre-marital counselling.

Religious weddings outnumbered civil ceremonies until 2001 when they reached a 50-50 split.

The number of civil marriages has steadily risen to hit a high last year, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

New NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages figures show celebrants performed 60.6 per cent of ceremonies in 2008, compared to 39.4 per cent for religious weddings.

Social researchers say the trend is driven by second and subsequent marriages, older brides and grooms, along with the decline of religious observance in Australia and couples’ desire for greater freedom in designing their ceremony. (more…)

Miss California Says Her Beliefs “Cost Me My Crown”; No Regrets Though

By Teresa Neumann – The Christian Post

Carrie Prejean“I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything…By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I’m glad I stayed true to myself.” Keep the faith, Carrie, and you’ll have a crown in Heaven.

(California)—The Christian Post reports that Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who was named first runner up in the Miss USA Pageant on Sunday, says she believes her answer on same-sex marriage (she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman) cost her the title but admits that she has no regrets.

“It did cost me my crown,” Carrie told Billy Bush on his radio talk show recently. “I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do…I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything.” (more…)

How Does Jesus Christ Define Marriage?

By Ted Baehr and Tom Snyder

MarriageFor the first time in recorded history, our government is trying to change a fundamental social institution and tradition – marriage. Thus, in recent months, courts in Massachusetts, California and Iowa, and now the legislature of Vermont, have decided to allow same-sex marriage.

Forget for a moment the fact that no other society in human history has ever defined marriage in this way and the fact that the United States Constitution does not give such power to the judiciary or our elected representatives – what does Jesus say about marriage?

In Matthew 19:4-6, Jesus says that marriage is for a man and a woman.

“Haven’t you read,” he says, referring to the Book of Genesis, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not tear apart.” (more…)

Plane Crash Near The Tomb Of The Unborn – Sign From Above?

Family of Irving ‘Bud’ Feldkamp, Owner of the Nation’s Largest Privately
Owned Abortion Chain, Dies in Montana Plane Crash

Some of you may have seen the major news story of the private plane that crashed into a Montana
cemetery, killing 7 children and 7 adults.

But what the news sources fail to mention is that the Catholic Holy Cross Cemetery owned by Resurrection Cemetery Association in Butte – contains a memorial for local residents to pray the rosary, at the ‘Tomb of the Unborn’. This memorial, located a short distance west of the church, was erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.

What else is the mainstream news not telling you? The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victim’s memorial, is the family of Irving ‘Bud’ Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation.

Family Planning Associates was purchased four years ago by Irving Moore “Bud” Feldkamp III, owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 California Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider – Planned Parenthood included – and they perform abortions through the first five months of pregnancy.

The Trophy Of A Life Saved: Updates On Lia’s LIFE Speech

By Aimee Herd

Lia Giving Her Speech“Please join us in continuing to pray for her YouTube video to spread virally and impact countless lives.”

Last week we featured a story about Lia, a 12-year-old in seventh grade who was giving a speech on abortion.

Although she initially encountered resistance from her teachers to choose another topic or forfeit her opportunity to participate in a speech competition, Lia decided to stay with her topic, and eventually her teacher—moved by her presentation—relented and allowed her to compete.

Lia then gave her speech in front of the entire school, and although the principal and other teachers deemed her the “obvious winner,” the judges disqualified her because of her topic and stance on abortion.

However, later that day, and after much discussion, the judges reversed their decision, making Lia the winner of the speech contest. Lia advanced to the regional competition with her message of Life. (more…)

My Imam Father Came After Me With An Axe!

“An amazing article printed in The Times in the UK this week….

The article tells the story of ‘The Imam’s Daughter’ by speaking with the author of a new book written by a girl who was a Muslim and converted to Christianity. The book was released on 5 March 2009.

The book – and the article – highlight how she lived in the UK, was raped by her father who was an imam, how she faced a forced marriage at 16 and fled her family, and then became a Christian.
She then feared for her life when they tried to kill her.

The author, “Hannah”, is now married… She wants to highlight the plight of Muslim women in Britain.

Several people have already sent this to me – it is an amazing story.

The book:
The Imam’s Daughter, by “Hannah Shah”.
Please Click Here for details of the book on Amazon.”

Islamic Honor Killings Take Center Stage

Islamic womenWomen’s rights group warns of beatings, executions

A human rights organization says it’s not enough for Americans to adopt “resolutions” opposing violence when Islamic girls are stoned for being victims of gang-rapes and warns that such violence already has moved into the United States, with beatings and murders – including a recent beheading – documented.

The result is a plan for a public rally on March 8, International Women’s Day, at the Capitol Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., according to the organization Responsible for Equality and Liberty.

“Every day, women are under attack by Islamic supremacism that supports and approves of oppression, mutilation, and murder of women. According to leaders and followers of Islamic supremacism, they have the right to commit violence against women. Islamic supremacism views oppression of women as a legitimate ‘right,’ violence against women as a legitimate ‘right,’ and murdering women as a legitimate ‘right,'” the organization announced.

Catholic Church Slams New Code Of Conduct Forcing Teachers To Promote Islam And Gay Rights

Oono StannardBy Simon Caldwell

Oona Stannard: ‘It would not be possible for a person of faith to promote another faith this is a matter of conscience’

The Roman Catholic Church has severely criticised a proposed new code of conduct for teachers which it says will force Christian schools to actively promote Islam and gay rights.

The Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has warned the General Teaching Council, by the professional regulatory body, that many teachers will quit the profession because they will not be able to accept the revised code of conduct in good conscience.

Their advisers say the code would also seriously undermine the religious character of church schools by imposing on them a hostile form of secular morality.

The legally-binding code would discriminate against Christian teachers in recruitment and in the classroom, they say.

Principle 4 of the code demands that teachers ‘proactively challenge discrimination’ and ‘promote equality and value diversity in all their professional relationships and interactions’ before they can be registered. (more…)

Don’t Marriage Vows Matter Anymore?

By Jack Hayford

The recent rash of marital failures among high-profile Christian leaders is forcing a showdown in the church. It isn’t a showdown between those who have failed and those who might criticize them–it’s a confrontation needed to face down a mind-set that, if left unchanged, will bring an onslaught of hellish delusion.

It’s time we take a hard look at why so many marriages–especially of those in leadership–are being torn apart. We need to know how to respond and what the consequences could be if decisive action is not taken now.

There simply is no way to describe the present situation in lesser terms: We are at a point of crisis.

Failure has been evident across the entire spectrum, from renowned evangelical Bible preachers to charismatic evangelists, and from noted national youth leaders to ascending Christian TV superstars. Though the unprecedented increase in the number of broken marriages and moral failures occurring in general among church leaders is tragic enough, the crisis is amplified when high-visibility leaders go in and out of marriages.
