Activism in Gainesville

First, I want to thank the Rock of Gainesville for covering this day with 24 hour prayer.



I didn't blog that last two days, but I was praying. Yesterday, before church, I was praying in the prayer chapel with another member of my congregation. As we were praying the Health Care portion of the ORT prayer list, I remembered the old days of my Pro-Life activism. I used to picket clinics, as did a lot of people in the 1980s. Then there came the court ruling of the "Exclusionary zone" that denied protesters the right to free speech in front of clinics. I heard this was overturned, but it seemed to be enough to deaden the enthusiasm of the clinic protests. After all, most Christians are law-abiding.

Today, I believe we are praying for abortion to end because God has not forgotten. And there seems to be a renewed interest in speaking out against a sin that is a symptom of America's hard heart. Although this group in the video above is protesting our local clinics, I had recently stumbled upon The 180 Movie. It's a video that is making the rounds, and it is about confronting young people who don't remember who Hitler was, and using this as a jumping off point toward evangelism.



Pray for the unborn, their mothers, and those who seek to rescue the unwanted.
