The Insanity and Hypocrisy of being pro-choice by Pastor Kevin

By
Ann and father Jason Poon

A heartwarming story hit the internet this morning about two identical twins, born 12 weeks early, that were reunited with one another for the first time in 27 days since they have been out of the womb. That isn't why the story broke on People Magazine and other news outlets. What made this story so newsworthy is the picture, worth a thousand words, of the two babies hugging each other as they lay upon their mother. So cute. So heartwarming and heart-melting at that. We are left with a beautiful picture of human connection, bonding together well before they could ever speak a word.

Yet these two little babies, who should still be in the womb for another two months, have a lot to say. I couldn't help but wonder how, especially in light of the barbaric laws recently passed in New York that allows babies such as these to be massacred, anyone pro-choice could find this heartwarming and not haunting? Make no mistake, I am not targeting the fact that these babies are so cute and could have been aborted. No, my point goes a little deeper than that. Here are a few considerations:

The in the womb and out of the womb connection this story highlights
The heartwarming aspect of this story assumes the connection between the bond that was formed in the womb and how that was carried on outside of the womb. Why did the two babies hug each other? Well, the suggestion is this, they knew each other and loved each other and bonded in real ways while in the womb. To celebrate the bond outside of the womb requires us to celebrate it inside the womb as well. This story forces that point. To the extent that we recognize the preciousness of a child reaching out to embrace her sister we must equally abhor the barbaric interruption of that as it is forming in the womb.

The insanity and hypocrisy of abortion
Could you imagine ripping the babies off of her mothers chest while they were embracing and then tearing them apart from each other? This story implies how unnatural it was for the two twins to be separated for 27 days, highlighted by the fact that when they were reunited, they knew it immediately. Can you imagine attaching metal suction devices to their brains so they could be sucked out and then broken down to pieces and disposed of like one would break down an old chair so it can fit into a trash can? If that sounds barbaric and terrorizing, just remember, its exactly what a pro-choice person supports and celebrates. Personally, I am surprised this story was even published because it leaves the insanity and hypocrisy of the pro-choice position unavoidable. How is this story not screaming at their consciences?

Let's continue to fight for life and celebrate the preciousness of life that this article points us to. God is the giver of life and he is the one who stitches people together in the womb from the moment of conception. There is something beautiful and sacred about His presence in a baby's life, this story makes that point inescapable. I pray everyone would see it that way.

With hope in Christ,
Pastor Kevin

The Secret of all Failure is our Failure in Secret Prayer

By
“We may be assured of this—the secret of all failure is our failure in secret prayer” (12). So writes the anonymous author of the classic little book on prayer entitled, The Kneeling Christian (Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids: 1971). He means that the reason we so often fall into sin or live in discouragement or fail to bear fruit is because we do not cling to God in Christ above all things. We do not diligently seek him or lean on him or plead with him or draw on his strength. We give ourselves to busyness over communion with God and in this way we seek to accomplish in our flesh what can only be accomplished in the power of the Spirit.  Giving first place to what our dear author calls “secret prayer” is indeed a key to the Spirit-filled life but let’s be clear: prayer is not magic, rather, it’s a relationship. It’s not as if we simply have to file requests with God, being careful to use just the right words so that we can get him to respond as we wish. God is not a vending m

Deacons - How They Serve and Strengthen the Church (Part 1)

By
  One of the next important priorities for GCF is to establish deacons in the life of the church. On March 14, 2021 we were able to establish an elder team. Currently, we have a team of four elders overseeing the congregation of GCF.  However, there is more work to be done. I have come to see that establishing an elder team was the bare minimum that needed to happen for GCF to survive. I believe GCF now needs to turn our attention to raising up a team of qualified and willing deacons to serve the congregation so that it will not only survive but thrive.   I would like to begin a series of blogs on deacons to help us understand who they are and what they do in the life of the church.  In this blog let me provide three reasons why I think deacons should be near our top priority.  Number 1: It is Biblical. Paul instructs Timothy to install elders who will help him pastor the church. For whatever reason, it seems the churches in our circles treat the installment of elders as non-negotiable

Does the Doctrine Divide? by Patience Griswold

By Anonymous
“Oh, I try not to talk about doctrine. It’s so divisive.” This is a sentiment that I’ve heard expressed, as well as implied, on many occasions, and one that raises the question, does doctrine divide? In answering this question, we must keep in mind a very important truth and that is that everyone holds to some sort of doctrine . “Doctrine” is defined as “a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.” Regardless of whether or not someone publicly holds to a statement of beliefs from a particular church, every Christian, by definition, holds to a particular set of beliefs. As Carl Trueman observes in his book The Creedal Imperative ,       [W]hile Christianity cannot be reduced to doctrine, to mere teaching, it cannot be meaningfully separated from it, either. Even the most basic claims, such as “Jesus is Lord,” carry clear doctrinal content that needs to be explicated in a world where, as we have noted before, every heretic has his text and n
