Arrests and Imprisonments In Opposing Abortion (Episode 9)
A challenge to all Christians to activism done in love. (Proverbs 27:11-12)

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?

Submission to government is right (Romans 13:1-4) but is superseded by God's law (Acts 4:19-20, Esther 4:16)


Does God Ever Withdraw His Presence from His Children? (Episode 19-21 & 27)

I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. - Psalm 40:1

Verses: Micah 7:8-9 | Psalm 40 | Psalm 90:13-14 | Psalm 139:11-12

Acrostic prayer:
Incline my heart to you testimonies, O God.
Open my eyes to see wonderful things.
Unite my heart to fear your name.
Satisfy me in the morning with your steadfast love.
