Satan's War against the Children

By Angela Wittman Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. (Matthew 2: 16-18, KJV) Dear Friends, One of the most heartwarming sights is that of a child. Their vulnerability and dependence upon others for sustenance and protection should move us all to compassion. Scripture tells us that “children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” (Psalm 127:3) Yes, they are precious in God’s sight; to be loved and cherished by all. But sadly, many people have come to believe Satan’s lies that childre

A Ministry of Healing

By Angela Wittman And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23 KJV) Dear Friends, This editorial is written to draw attention to the ministry of healing which our Lord Jesus Christ found so much worth in, that He, the Son of God, participated in it. As a Christian Medical Assistant, I can tell you from experience that ministering to others in the art of healing is not at all glamorous, nor is it an easy job. In fact, the work is physically and emotionally draining; and if you are expecting gratitude from others for your hard work, it may be long in coming. But if you are looking for a way to show compassion and mercy to others, then this may be the job for you. I recently received a health update from a friend who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I was so impressed with her praise for her doctor that I asked if I may share it, an

'for such a time as this'

"...and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (The Book of Esther 4:14C, KJV) Dear Friends, The famous 19th century Dutch theologian and Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Abraham Kuyper, is quoted as saying: "When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become your sin; you must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith." I believe we are living in such a time that we need to lay all our convictions bare and fight with all the fire of our faith for a Christian Republic. Just one look at the headlines in the news should be enough to convince even the most hardened skeptic that our nation is in dire straits. Even those who are not of the Christian faith must admit that the violence and injustice being perpetrated against American citizens is wrong. The streets of America are no long

Not Good Enough

By Angela Wittman And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto... Exodus 32: 7, 8a - KJV Dear Friends, As editor of an on-line pro-life newsletter, Christian Activist Pro-Life News ( www.prolifenews.info ), and as a Christian pro-life activist I try to stay informed of the latest news concerning the pro-life movement. I confess to being suspicious of legislation popular with the majority of conservatives, as they often lose sight of the goal, which is ending all killing of pre-born human beings. In their quest for expediency, they will sacrifice the lives of innocent human beings who may have been conceived in less than perfect circumstances, such as rape or incest. Or they may think a baby whose mother may die during the pregnancy

By Whose Standard?

By Angela Wittman See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. (Deuteronomy 30:15,16 KJV) When it comes to knowing the difference between right and wrong, by whose standard do you use? Do you take a look at the latest poll to see if certain behavior is sinful? Or do you look to the never changing Word of God and those ministers who preach it faithfully without eliminating certain portions of Scripture, which may not be "politically correct"? Do you go to church to have your ears tickled? Or do you want to hear the Word of God preached? I am sure many of you will say you want to hear the Word preached, but just don’t tell me what I can and cannot do...After all, that’s judgmental, condemning

Why I Have Declined a Seat on the Alito Bandwagon

By Angela Wittman A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:8, KJV) Now that Samuel Alito has been confirmed to the supreme Court, I have received numerous endorsements, praises and letters of applause from leading conservative organizations who are riding high on his appointment to the supreme Court as a pro-life victory... But is it really? Or have these groups been taken for a ride? As for me, I have declined to take a seat on the Alito bandwagon, and here are just a few reasons why: On November 15, 2005, it was reported in the Associated Press article "Alito Downplays 1985 Abortion Statement" that when Sen. Dianne Feinstein had questioned Judge Alito about a document in which he stated to the Reagan administration that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion" he evasively replied "I was an advocate seeking a job...I'm now a judge...I'm not an advocate, I don't give heed to my personal views..." His respons

A Matter of Life and Death

By Angela Wittman Dear Friends, Have you been spending countless hours writing letters to your "pro-life" senators and congressmen asking them to vote pro-life? Have you spent countless minutes on the phone explaining to the staff of your legislator why he should vote pro-life? And does he vote for a piece of legislation that doesn't really end the murder of innocent babies in the womb, but just regulates the killers? Perhaps you have even spent thousands of dollars helping certain candidates win election in hope that Congress would have the needed votes to save innocent lives of preborn babies? Are you wondering why the killing of children via abortion is still "legal" and why even with a majority of the Republican Party in power, innocent blood still flows through the sewers of America? Wouldn't it be wonderful if our "pro-life" representatives brought an end to the barbarism of baby killing? A friend, Cal Zastrow of Michigan Citizens for Life, r
