Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.

Toyota's odd pivot to make lemonade from things like this:
“It is not our proudest piece of product placement. But it shows the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any other truck buyer: quality and durability.”

Human Rights Campaign Calls on Christian Colleges to Repent of Their Christianity
"In the eyes of HRC, the constitutional rights of a religious school to remain faithful to its doctrinal views on sexuality and sexual complementarity should be subjugated to the expressive and sexual identity of prospective students. In their view, moral condemnation of homosexuality or transgender identity is tantamount to discrimination, and therefore, Christian schools should not be treated so tolerantly under federal law."
http://www.nationalreview.com/artic...olleges-religious-freedom?6fzxU7b078ZO1o5o.01
"In effect, HRC wants the Department of Education to publicly list these unsanctioned dissenters, require these institutions to confess their sins publicly, and to be held accountable for any sins committed."
Sigh.

"Planned Parenthood performed 323,999 abortions and received $553.7 million from U.S. taxpayers during the 2014-2015 fiscal year, according to its most recent annual report."
"The report states that abortion advocacy is seamlessly tied to homosexual and transgender activism. "Planned Parenthood believes that reproductive rights are deeply connected to LGBTQ rights and is proud to be a provider of health care and information for so many in the LGBTQ community," the report says. Its affiliates now provide hormone treatments for transgender people in 26 centers across 10 states: California, Colorado, Maine, Montana, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, New York, Vermont, and Washington state."
Full story with link to PP Annual Report:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/p...23999-abortions-and-received-553.7-million-fr
From the report, one can calculate that between 2008-2015, PP has performed at least 2,268,000 abortions.
As if evil cannot be more banal, abortionist Curtis Boyd offers a memory box containing a receiving blanket, footprints, a certificate of stillbirth and photos of babies aborted because they were deformed:

So do many of the folks who have part of their paycheck put into 401(k)s.
... are a really good argument for making stupidity illegal ... I mean, as long as we're trying to legislatively save people from themselves.

Many of those folks don't realize that when their companies invest in mutual funds. And are not "inclined" to go digging to see where they're invested; because the markets and language are so complicated.
Ignorance really isn't bliss.
Not only that, the funds managers regularly offer up their "investors" money for the benefit of the much bigger fish they serve and the "investors" are left wondering what happened to their money. You might as well offer the money to a wino ... at least they are honest about where it is going to go.

Hello all.
I was watching the CBS Evening News last night and they showed the story in the first link. The man in the video couldn't finish what he was saying because he began weeping.
It's always too much for me to see a grown man cry...I cried with him and for him.
Because I am no genius I want you to tell me if these things are all right:
I have asked God for a miracle for this town and Damascus.
He rained manna and quail on Israel when they fled Egypt (many carrying their idols with them); I have asked Him to do the same for Madaya.
He fed John the Baptist with locusts and wild honey. I have asked Him to send locusts to Madaya.
He sent ravens to feed Elijah. I have asked Him to send ravens to feed Madaya.
Ask, seek, knock.
I asked Him these things because these people are begging the world for help and the only way I know to help is to pray and we serve a good God who said, "if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your heavenly Father give to those who ask?"
In keeping with this whole line of prayer I asked for big things for North Korea and Haiti.
(E. M. Bounds said to "ask BIG.")
Please pray with me for this world. Please.
