Abortion or Adoption: 2 Moms’ Mission to Help Heal Pregnant Teens and Women (Video): Epoch Times

17 Jun 2021 Michael A

Two women who became pregnant at 16 chose radically different paths: one had an abortion and one chose open adoption. Years later, their experiences aligned in a shared mission: to use their stories to enable other women to navigate their own unplanned pregnancies, and ultimately, choose life. …Speaking to The Epoch Times, Tori Shaw and Leah Outten shared how their life paths led them to find healing in faith, transforming them out of the cocoon of shame and the trauma of broken families. Tori and Leah—both devout Christians, A students, and children of divorce—grew up just 30 miles apart in North Carolina. Recently, the brave moms, who run their two separate nonprofits to help expectant parents, came together to share their heart-wrenching backstories in a short film, Two Paths.

‘A Change Is Coming’: Song Exposes How ‘Communist Gangsters’ Are Harming the World: Epoch Times

17 Jun 2021 Michael A

“A Change is Coming” is a song with thought-provoking lyrics and music by Yulia and Patrick, the couple who formed The Temporary Residents, an Indie band that strives to craft sounds from different decades and classical traditions. “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been severely persecuting the Chinese people since it came into power in 1949. We think it’s clear from recent events that we can see that the evil nature of the CCP is dragging the whole world down,” the artists told The Epoch Times. “Times are tough but at the same time if you can still hold on to your upright beliefs, they will help you weather ‘the storm.’”

Photos: Torture Methods Used to Coerce People to Hail Communism, Renounce Faith: Epoch Times

17 Jun 2021 Michael A

The CCP officials and guards have devised many torture methods to painfully coerce these religious believers—be it Christians, Uyghurs, Falun Gong practitioners, or Buddhists—to renounce their faith and hail the communist party as supreme, enshrining it even above the divine. …According to a Minghui.org report, the head of the No. 3 Division at the Jilin Women’s Forced Labor Camp, in Jilin Province, openly threatened a Falun Gong practitioner, saying, “We have 108 types of torture methods! Do you think you’ll leave here alive?” [If you support the Marxist democratic left in America, then this is what you are helping to usher into our country; don’t kid yourself, thinking Marxism will be different in this country; if you’re a Christian, there is no way you can support the democratic left, the Bible calls you to love others]

Biden Admin Suspends Oil and Gas Leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Epoch Times

15 Jun 2021 Michael A

The Biden administration suspended oil and gas drilling leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on June 1, ahead of the outcome of an environmental impact review, reversing a policy that former President Donald Trump had initiated shortly before leaving office. President Joe Biden, on his first day in office in January, placed a temporary ban on the wildlife refuge’s new leases. But on June 1, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland issued a memo (pdf) saying that activities in the region must halt pending an analysis. …Republican Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy described the move as an “assault on Alaska’s economy” that is tantamount to “federal overreach.”

“Shutting down our lands was not what William Seward intended when Alaska was founded, and we are not going to allow the Biden administration to turn Alaska into a giant national park,” he said, referring to Seward, the U.S. secretary of state between 1861 and 1869, who negotiated the Alaska purchase in 1868.

15 Jun 2021 Michael A

Gas prices hit a nationwide average of $3.08 per gallon on Monday, driven by the cost of crude oil. Crude oil passed $70 a barrel, the highest price since October 2018, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). Price per barrel has jumped $23 per barrel since January. … While production is going up, it’s the first time it’s gone up in a while, “and it’s still not going up as quickly as we would like to see it to cool prices,” Phil Flynn, an energy market analyst with PRICE Futures Group, told The Epoch Times. … As usual, the highest prices are being seen by drivers in the Western U.S. and Illinois, with a peak of $4.22 a gallon. Drivers in the Midwest and South may see prices as low as $2.71 a gallon.

Lumber Prices Drop Below $1,000 After Skyrocketing to ‘Nosebleed’ Highs in May: Epoch Times

15 Jun 2021 Michael A

As sawmills have ramped up output and buyers put off purchases, both spot lumber prices and futures contracts have seen a sharp drop since May’s peak of nearly $1,700 per thousand board feet, the unit of measurement for lumber in the United States. …BMO analyst Mark Wilde predicts that “‘nosebleed’ prices won’t last,” according to a note via Bloomberg. He added, however, that lumber costs will remain “above-trend” for the next 1 to 2 years due to “strong demand, a limited supply response, and a rising cost curve.” …“Higher costs and declining availability for softwood lumber and other building materials pushed down builder sentiment in June,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke. “These higher costs have moved some new homes beyond the budget of prospective buyers, which has slowed the strong pace of home building. Policymakers need to focus on supply-chain issues in order to allow the economic recovery to continue.”

Final Justice: The Return of Christ, Part 1, Dr. John MacArthur

15 Jun 2021 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur began a series on the return of Christ and the real justice that will then be experience by dwellers on the earth. Those not in Christ, will not want to experience that justice. He discussed numerous chapters of Revelation, in part, during the course of this 28 minute sermon. If you are not very familiar with Revelation, then this sermon will give you an overview of sorts. Furthermore, he wants to refocus Christians who are wasting their energy thinking about fixing this planet and establishing man’s justice; because all of that will be undone when Christ returns. For those who do not have 28 minutes to spend, sermon highlight points precede the sermon.

WHOEVER BELIEVES… John MacArthur (John 3:16)

13 Jun 2021 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur explained that the unforgivable sin is unbelief. We are all born in unbelief, if we remain in it, we will experience eternal death, hell. As he expounds John chapter 3, he also explains conversion, the work of God within converts…. If you do not understand John 3, about conversion being a work of God; if you think that you can sign a card and become born again, then please study this sermon, because those modern conversion techniques are UNbiblical

Spiritual Warfare: 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5

12 Jun 2021 Michael A

This post reviews the ideas of tearing down strongholds, via spiritual weapons from 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5. Highlights from commentator Albert Barnes were copied and pasted to clarify the important parts of this passage. I was reviewing the text for my own benefit and thought I’d do a post on it because, although it is an extremely important text, the Bible is big and there are many things that deserve contemplation; and it is easy to forget to apply such concepts in one’s daily warfare unless they become very familiar out of application – so this is an opportunity to refresh your memory of this passage

California Appeals Ruling Striking Down Assault Weapons Ban: Epoch Times

11 Jun 2021 Michael A

California officials on Thursday said the state has appealed a federal judge’s decision to strike down its three-decade-old ban on assault-style weapons, saying the law is needed to prevent gun deaths. The appeal challenges last week’s ruling from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego that the law illegally infringes upon the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, which guarantees the right of citizens to bear arms. …Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, both Democrats, told a news conference outside a San Francisco hospital they were confident the decision was flawed and would eventually be overturned.
