Planned Parenthood last week, April 1st National Atheist Day and a quick look at Voiceless.

Hi everyone.
Last week we went to Planned Parenthood but I decided to wait and post about it today. I also decided I could try to write something about the holiday that is coming up tomorrow and those that will be celebrating it.

Last week at the abortion mill seemed to be filled with hate. The police officer was kept busy with a few people. One man was drunk and the officer said that he was usually harmless but he started getting up in a lady's face. Everything was fine in the end though. One of the other men was going in to the abortion mill. He was very angry for a while and threatened Daddy. Later he went and talked to Stephanie for awhile as well but was not yelling at her. Once again God protected us from those who are opposed to the Gospel and we were okay in the end, The other angry man was Mike from "Guitar Grave" next door to the abortion mill. He is very opposed to the Gospel and every once in a while comes out to tell Daddy what he think of him. He came out and asked Daddy if he remembered what he thought of him. Daddy said "I am stupid because I can read." Mike said Daddy was disgusting. Mike took a Bible from someone and threw it over Daddy's head and across the street. Praise God that Daddy was okay and that the book did not hit him in the head. Please pray for Mike's salvation!

Daddy preaching the Gospel

One thing that I really liked was when most people got down on their knees and prayed. I do not know if it will become a regular practice to kneel down but it was beautiful last week.

One person from the apartment building next door was trying to make his point by hanging his blaring speaker out the window. Thankfully God has given some of our preachers a voice that can be louder than the speaker so that the Gospel message will not be hindered by those who try to drown it out. With the aid of the two big buildings it carries the preachers voice pretty far.

I got a few pictures of the abortion last week and I may get some better ones next week.

The hatred that we see when we proclaim Christ, while it is sad can be somewhat expected. People do not just hate us. They hate our message. They do not want to hear that God is angry with the wicked every day and that they need to repent of their sins and turn to Christ in faith. They do not want us to tell them that they are suppressing the truth and they do not want us to call them out for their works of darkness.

Mike who comes out and yells at the preacher knows that God exists. Do people come out and scream at people and call them disgusting when someone dresses up like Santa Claus at Christmas time? No. Why? Because they know that Santa does not exist. If God does not exist why do people bother arguing with us? Why don't they just think to themselves that they are an idiot and keep doing there own thing? I think it is because they know God exists and they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness as it says in Romans 1.

We should remember that their real problem is that they are in need of a Savior. Our duty is to preach the Gospel in the hope that they would be one of God's elect that they too would see the great mercy that God pours out on all His children.

I do not know how many people knew that tomorrow is National Atheist Day, but it is. Proverbs 14:1 says "The fool has said in his heart 'there is no God'". Therefore April 1st sometimes known as April Fools day can also be known as National Atheist Day.

One person has said that this verse only applies to strong atheists and not weak atheists (who say that there is probably no God). I had a short exchange on Youtube with an atheist on this subject as he made a video to refute Sye Ten Bruggencate. I asked the atheist how he would explain part of Romans 1 that says that everyone knows that God exists. That does not just apply to strong atheists but to everyone in this world. You can try to explain away an argument but God's word is always true. You can not prove the Bible wrong no matter how hard you try.

Just a brief refutation of the atheist worldview seems to be appropriate here. I know that some atheists may object with me already because I said the "atheist worldview". Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is:"a network of our most basic beliefs about reality in light of which all observations are interpreted."~ Dr. Jason Lisle, (Ultimate Proof of Creation, page 25) Just one of the things that atheists presume before interpreting the evidence is that God does not exist. Atheists have an atheist worldview.

Atheists claim that there is no God. We will take a presuppositional approach to refute this claim. The proof that God exists is this: God must exist because without Him it would be impossible to know anything at all. If God did not exist we could have no basis for laws of logic, uniformity in nature, or absolute morality. Without laws of logic we could easily say that anything is true, who cares if things contradict each other if there are no laws of logic. Without uniformity in nature science would be impossible. You could do an experiment one day and the next time you do it something could have changed and you get a totally different result. The world could always change if there is nothing maintaining uniformity in nature.

If there was no such thing as absolute morality there would be no basis for a justice system. Everyone could do what is right in their own eyes and we would have no standard by which to judge them. The atheist uses the resources that God gave him such as life, breath and the ability to speak and to reason to suppress the truth about God. They take for granted things that they have no justification for in their worldview. The choice is either God or absurdity.

Some atheists may say that they used to be Christians. If you now believe that there is no God, you were never a Christian. If they dishonor God by using the very breath that he gave them to claim that God does not exist, they were never His child. Some atheists may say that they looked at the evidence in an unbiased way, but this is not true. The problem is that no one can look at something without having bias. Everyone is biased. We look at the evidence through our worldview and then interpret what we see through our worldviews. Yet the Christian worldview is the only one which can be consistent and therefore correct. The atheists worldview is self-refuting, and thus incorrect.

Let us remember that even with all the problems with the atheist worldview we used to be no better than them. We too were sinners who hated God and the only reason that we no longer think the same way as they do is because of God's great mercy. May we continue to share the Gospel with them, not answering them according to their folly in the sense of accepting their false view lest we be like them, but rather answering them according to their folly in the sense that we show them what the logical conclusion of their worldview is, lest they be wise in their own eyes. As Sye Ten Bruggencate said "Be About the Cure".  Continue to share the Gospel with atheists in the hopes that they too would be saved by the free gift of Almighty God through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We just recently bought the movie Voiceless and it is a very good movie. Something that is shown in the film that is definitely true, though sad, is that your church and your family may reject you when you go into abortion ministry. But we were told by our Master to rescue those who are perishing and save those who are stumbling to the slaughter. You may also get in trouble unjustly, but if you are persecuted unjustly for the sake of Christ's name you will receive your reward from God. No matter what may happen to you because of your work for Christ, pray that God would give you the strength to endure for the sake of His name. For people who have not seen the movie yet, I suggest that you watch it, and I hope that it serves to strengthen you as we continue to strive together to see Christ worshiped in all the world.

We recently got some more ministry tools for the abortion mill. We got 100 models of babies in the womb to pass out to show how unborn children are really human. The models come with cards that show what is happening at the different times in pregnancy. Pray that the people who receive these would see how precious life in the womb is. We also have bumper stickers and more things that are hopefully coming soon.

Prayer
Please continue to pray for brother Paul Washer. He was supposed to be able to go home the other day, but I have not heard if he was actually able to or not. Until he is home I bet that he will continue to share the Gospel with everyone he meets as I have heard that he is witnessing to the hospital chaplains. Continue to pray that he would be fully healed and be able to continue to serve Christ in this world. He is a great servant of God and I am glad that God spared his life that we here on the earth may continue to learn from his example.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
