9
00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:49.729
We're going to talk today about words
and that words mean something and,
10
00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.640
of course, in particular when we're
dealing with the issue of abortion, the
11
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.759
language that we use, the words
that we use, can have an impact,
12
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.759
a good positive impact or a bad
negative impact. All right, and
13
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.069
we well know, if you've been
in this area of ministry for any time,
14
00:01:07.909 --> 00:01:11.109
you who are listening, you well
know that the quote pro choice movement
15
00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:17.109
knows this as well. Right and
their language with plan parenthood and and other
16
00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:21.060
you know, the abortion industry in
general. They craft language in such a
17
00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:23.540
way a right that makes it seem
like abortion is just healthcare. Yeah,
18
00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:26.420
matter of fact, they say that
abortion is healthcare rights, one of the
19
00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:30.340
thing reproductive health care. Yeah,
so we're going to talk about that.
20
00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:34.370
We're also going to talk about how
we as as ministers of the Gospel,
21
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:41.569
but as prolife ministers as well,
ministers of life, the language that we
22
00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:47.090
use and how that language can be
received or even rejected by those that were
23
00:01:47.129 --> 00:01:51.239
trying to reach because of the words
that we use. Right, right,
24
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.719
we need to be very careful with
words. While we were thinking about doing
25
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.680
this podcast, in this this subject, I was in an extended text exchange
26
00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:07.069
with a mother who was on the
fence between choosing life or aborting her child.
27
00:02:07.349 --> 00:02:09.629
Yeah, and I was very conscious
of the words I was using.
28
00:02:10.349 --> 00:02:14.870
And after a while she kind of
went silent, which is usually not a
29
00:02:14.949 --> 00:02:20.539
good sign. And then a couple
of days later, I wrote to her,
30
00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:27.900
offering help again, and she responded
the pregnancy is terminated. Yeah,
31
00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:31.849
and it really struck me. I
wanted to write back, do you mean
32
00:02:32.129 --> 00:02:37.569
that your baby is dead, that
you have killed your baby? I wouldn't
33
00:02:37.569 --> 00:02:40.930
have, and I didn't, but
that is what happened. But the the
34
00:02:42.009 --> 00:02:46.280
words that she used made it seem
like, you know, a job is
35
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.719
terminated or or you know, the
the dishes are done, the pregnancy is
36
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.479
terminated. It was such a cold
and sterile sort of it's the language of
37
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.150
the abortion industry, is yeah,
and that's intentional. The abortion industry knows
38
00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:08.349
that the more terminology and words that
they would use that would humanize that baby,
39
00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:12.830
right, the less likely women are
going to be to come to them
40
00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:17.419
and have abortions pay for their healthcare. Yeah, reproductive services. Yeah,
41
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.979
yeah, I mean, come on, I'm going to rabbit trail on this,
42
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:25.860
right, but reproductive health care,
abortion is exactly the opposite of reproduction.
43
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:32.849
Reproduction, the word reproduce implies that
you're that something else is being created
44
00:03:32.930 --> 00:03:38.169
in the milt produced. Yes,
and that's exactly the opposite that which has
45
00:03:38.169 --> 00:03:43.240
already been produced by the hand,
by the hand of God. Yeah,
46
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.360
and through the active intercourse, that
baby is being killed. It's not reproduction,
47
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.639
it's the opposite anyway. Yeah,
and health. Well, health is
48
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.189
usually that you're saving and enhancing someone's
life, not taking life. That so
49
00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:04.229
I went through some of the words
that are prominent in the abortion movement.
50
00:04:04.509 --> 00:04:10.259
So, so one of the words
abortion, let's talk about that. Okay,
51
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:15.060
portion itself, the word abortion.
What's an abortion? I mean most
52
00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:19.579
people outside of who are doing abortions
really it's not a word. To use
53
00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:27.970
abortion a and it it in and
of itself sanitizes what is a horrific,
54
00:04:28.089 --> 00:04:34.050
violent either poisoning or dismember me dismemberment, death of an unborn child. Yeah,
55
00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:43.800
but so the word itself, abortion
distances the mother and everybody from the
56
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.399
truth of what is actually yeah,
yeah, or even that term termination of
57
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.680
a pregnancy, right. Yeah,
you know, when you think about the
58
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.350
word abortion, I mean if you
go to its root, and of course
59
00:04:55.430 --> 00:05:00.430
the word is abort right, and
it's stoppinging a process, right, process
60
00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:03.990
that's in place. It's stopping that
process. Now, the process, of
61
00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:08.220
course, in this situation is pregnancy, right, and that's another word.
62
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:14.620
People in the Abortion Industry Plan parenthood. They use the word pregnancy to apply
63
00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:16.220
to the baby. We're going to
take care of your pregnancy, right,
64
00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:19.779
we're going to remove the pregnancy.
Right. Well, pregnancy is not a
65
00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:24.089
thing. I actually say this this
often, yes, as I'm talking to
66
00:05:24.129 --> 00:05:28.529
women at the abortion center, talking
to men, and say pregnancy is not
67
00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:34.009
a thing, it's a process and
abortion stops that process. Of pregnancy.
68
00:05:34.129 --> 00:05:38.399
Yeah, but you know, if
you think about it, I mean thinking
69
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.079
about the word abortion, they're actually
two ways to abort a pregnancy. You
70
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.639
can kill your child in the womb, dismemberment or a medical abortion, or
71
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.629
you can deliver your baby, I
mean delivery of a child. Your child
72
00:05:53.750 --> 00:05:58.230
being born terminates the pregnancy. That's
right. So it's not abortion, but
73
00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:00.949
check to termination of pregnancy, is
what you're saying. And one one very
74
00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:04.540
positive and one very horrific. Yeah, how about just the Word Clinic?
75
00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:11.699
Yeah, abortion clinic. So what
does clinic say to us? Well,
76
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:16.420
it seems helpful. It seems like
it's there to meet our needs, medical
77
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:21.129
needs and that sort of thing.
Doctors who are there to improve life.
78
00:06:21.129 --> 00:06:26.129
Yeah, well, so this is
something I mentioned to you before we started
79
00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:30.370
this podcast. But yes, some
of the language that we use, because
80
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:35.000
there is a lingo, I guess, associated with with any I guess niche
81
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.600
or whatever. I don't know what
word to use there. Yeah, and
82
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.480
we have a lingo on the sidewalk
and within our circles. We refer to
83
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.350
the abortion clinics as abortion mills.
That's an abortion meal. And why do
84
00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:50.189
we do that? It's because they
produce abortions. They and they do it
85
00:06:51.149 --> 00:06:54.629
without really you know, you think
of a meal, you think of they
86
00:06:54.709 --> 00:07:00.509
just produce a product without really regard
to anything but just producing that product.
87
00:07:00.670 --> 00:07:04.259
And that's what abortion is, especially
the one not far from here on the
88
00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:08.579
trope drive, when they're doing,
we just came from there today, forty
89
00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:13.740
seven, more than probably more,
probably more than forty seven one day abortions.
90
00:07:14.019 --> 00:07:16.610
Yeah, yeah, that's an abortion
mill. So it's a factory.
91
00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:20.569
It's a factory of babies, that
abortions, killing by children. Yeah,
92
00:07:20.610 --> 00:07:24.250
right. So we refer to it
in our circles as an abortion meal.
93
00:07:24.490 --> 00:07:27.730
Yeah. Now, when I'm sharing, though, publicly on social media,
94
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:30.600
if I go share at a church
or something like that, people who aren't
95
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.959
in this realm, right, that
I want to bring into this realm,
96
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.519
like I want them to come into
this ministry. I want them to see
97
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.480
the validity of this ministry, in
the necessity of this ministry, I don't
98
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.120
use the term abortion meal, right. I actually will use the term abortion
99
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.589
clinic or abortion center. Yeah,
now I do try to steer clear of
100
00:07:47.629 --> 00:07:51.149
abortion clinic so much because I don't
want to validate it, because it's not
101
00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:56.310
a clinic, because when you think
of clinic, you think of healthcare and
102
00:07:56.709 --> 00:08:01.540
really helping people and doctors that actually
do good things. Yeah, but I
103
00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:05.420
do that and I use that term
and knowledge and I steer clear of abortion
104
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:09.180
meal so that people aren't, you
know, just wondering what are you even
105
00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:11.579
talking about? You know, you're
speaking your lingo and they don't really understand
106
00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:15.529
what you're talking about. Yeah,
right. So just to avoid all that,
107
00:08:15.610 --> 00:08:18.930
I just use abortion center, right, or abortion clinic, but I
108
00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:22.529
might talk about it being an abortion
meal and then explain that. You know,
109
00:08:22.569 --> 00:08:26.129
I think it's important for us,
if we're going to use terms that
110
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.439
people don't normally connect with, that
we take time to explain those terms,
111
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.159
because terms and big words sometimes can
make people pause and think about that.
112
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.990
Right, but I think it's up
to US sometimes to explain those words.
113
00:08:41.110 --> 00:08:46.669
So, for example, if I'm
at the abortion meal and I'm calling out
114
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:50.830
to a mom who obviously doesn't know
the Lord, I want to share the
115
00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:52.990
Gospel, right, I want her
to know the Lord, and I'm going
116
00:08:54.029 --> 00:08:56.659
to talk about repentance and I'm going
to talk about sin and I will use
117
00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:01.500
the word fornication, I will talk
about sex outside of marriage and I'll show
118
00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:05.179
when uses anymore. I M Biblical
word and we just don't hear it much
119
00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:09.340
any it's not a popular word.
Su Sure. Yeah, and I do
120
00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:13.769
that actually intense right, because I
think that it it's maybe for some people
121
00:09:13.850 --> 00:09:16.769
it's a archaic word or whatever.
Yeah, but I do it and then
122
00:09:16.769 --> 00:09:18.929
I explain it. So I'll say
something like, you know, the Bible
123
00:09:18.970 --> 00:09:24.480
says that fornication is sin inside of
God, and I'll say fornication is sex
124
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.279
outside of marriage. So then I'm
bringing a word into the equation to help
125
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.559
them to think about it and then
I'm explaining that word. Because if it's
126
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.320
just say fornication is wrong, yeah, where I just say repent. So
127
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.000
if I use the word repent,
which we should, it's a biblical word.
128
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.950
Yeah, I will say. So
you need to repent. That means
129
00:09:39.990 --> 00:09:43.669
you need to turn away from your
sin and turn to the Lord, right,
130
00:09:43.029 --> 00:09:46.190
right. Yeah, yeah, and
I think that word has kind of
131
00:09:46.230 --> 00:09:52.220
a bit of a shock value because
it's just so acceptable, yeah, today's
132
00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:56.259
society, that everybody does it.
Everybody has sex outside of marriage. So,
133
00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:01.860
but if you apply a word that
clearly God meant it in a negative
134
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.059
way, yeah, then I think
it and most people have read the Bible,
135
00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:07.889
at least here in this area,
and they they might look at it
136
00:10:07.929 --> 00:10:11.610
a little bit differently. Yeah,
it. How about just the word pill?
137
00:10:13.129 --> 00:10:16.649
Yeah, that it's an abortion pill. So what do you think of
138
00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:20.009
when you think of pill? Yeah, you know, you think of I
139
00:10:20.169 --> 00:10:24.159
think kind of a quick fix,
yeah, to your situation. You know,
140
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.480
you got a headache, Hey,
you take a head but it's a
141
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.159
life saving right, it will,
it relieves undesirable symptoms and and it and
142
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.070
in some cases it saves lives.
We take pills, medicine, whatever they
143
00:10:35.110 --> 00:10:39.269
want to coronavirus medicine, pills,
something that will, that will lend this
144
00:10:39.750 --> 00:10:45.629
this pandemic. Yeah, and course, again it speaks of healthcare and a
145
00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:48.590
helpful thing, right, most of
the time. Yeah, but of course,
146
00:10:48.669 --> 00:10:52.500
in this case, right, we're
not really talking about as far as
147
00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:56.379
the abortion peel is concerned, it's
really not an abortion peel. It's actually
148
00:10:56.379 --> 00:11:01.340
an abortion pill regiment. Right,
they give to medications. Yeah, and
149
00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:03.820
I do take time to explain that. You know, we have in our
150
00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:07.490
brochure that we hand out to people
going into the abortion center the abortion pill
151
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:11.649
procedure and describes it and how it
works. Yeah, because again, it's
152
00:11:11.690 --> 00:11:13.769
not you. I'll say that on
microphone. Sometimes I'll say that. You
153
00:11:13.850 --> 00:11:16.169
know, this is not just the
magic peel that you take, your baby
154
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:18.919
disappears. You going with your right, right, but it's also an act
155
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.360
of violence. Yeah, and the
medication that you take is going to kill
156
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.840
your child and then the second medication
that they give you to take it home,
157
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.679
you're going to deliver your dead baby
in the toilet, and pretty violently,
158
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.429
with pretty violent conection. Anyone is
out there listening, you've seen the
159
00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:39.990
unplanned movie and it really graphically shows
is how an abortion pill procedures carried through.
160
00:11:41.269 --> 00:11:43.309
Yeah, that is the reality of
it. Yeah. Yeah, so
161
00:11:43.389 --> 00:11:46.980
that word pill makes it seem like
any see and it's yeah, it's no
162
00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:50.940
big deal, I'm going to take
this peel. I just taking the peel
163
00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:54.379
right. Yeah, and yeah,
it sanitizes it. Yeah, than exact.
164
00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:56.820
makes it seem like something it's not
as bad as actually is. Yeah,
165
00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:00.779
even the word pro choice, we've
talked about that. The word pro
166
00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:05.450
pro choice. It's a pro where. Really, what they're saying is is
167
00:12:05.490 --> 00:12:09.850
we see very clearly that they're not
supportive of the choice for life. They
168
00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:16.919
do everything in their power to prevent
the MOM's from choosing life in that at
169
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.840
least in that parking lot and where
we're standing on the sidewalk. So it's
170
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.840
really it's a choice for the murder
of an innocent unborn baby. But you
171
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.669
never hear that. They don't say
that. You know, one of the
172
00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:35.710
things I've said pro choice people and
to, you know, the MOMS going
173
00:12:35.750 --> 00:12:39.909
into the abortion center when I think
it's appropriate. Yeah, is the word
174
00:12:39.990 --> 00:12:43.070
choice. You know, you're here
because you want to exercise your right of
175
00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:46.940
choice. You're right to choose.
There are the word choice itself implies the
176
00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:52.740
availability of more than one option.
If you only have one option, you
177
00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:58.019
don't have choice. Yeah, and
in an abortion center and an abortion clinic,
178
00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:01.529
clinic, in an abortion meal.
Yeah, they're not offering other options
179
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:05.129
right. I mean they're not laying
out a brochure and says, okay,
180
00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:07.409
you can choose adoption, you can
choose to part your child are you can
181
00:13:07.529 --> 00:13:13.519
choose abortion. They're not doing that
right. And you know you wouldn't expect
182
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.480
them to write because they make money. All there. Its children at it
183
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.159
that right. And so choice IMPLAUSI. Availability of more than one option.
184
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.480
But we all know when people say
their pro choice. We are they talking
185
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.110
about? Yeah, we're talking about
abortion. Their pro abortion, right,
186
00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:31.149
right. That's the reality of it. And of course they claim that we're
187
00:13:31.230 --> 00:13:35.309
just pro birth. Yeah, I
mean I'm fine with that term. I'm
188
00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:37.590
pro birth. Yeah, I'm I'm
glad you're born, Vicky. I'm glad
189
00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:41.539
I was born. I'm even glad
there's those pro abortion people were born,
190
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:46.019
you know, but we're pro you, pro you living beyond birth to yeah,
191
00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:48.419
I mean, that's that's all just
a bunch. Yeah, yea,
192
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:52.580
so many of the people that accompany
the abortion patients. I don't actually that's
193
00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:58.649
another one. Patient. Yeah,
patient. Well, they're not patients.
194
00:13:58.409 --> 00:14:03.529
Their clients may be clients that,
you know, contributing to the murder of
195
00:14:03.570 --> 00:14:07.129
their own child, but they're really
not. Yeah, patients. Patients are
196
00:14:07.210 --> 00:14:13.080
someone who have some sort of disease, right, that needs help clearing it
197
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.600
up, and pregnancy is not a
disease, it is a normal process.
198
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.679
Yeah, actually had somebody on facebook. I think I might have put a
199
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.039
quote out there, not a quote, but a post out there on facebook,
200
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.429
on our public facebook page, share
in how many abortion patients were in
201
00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:30.750
there. And you know, I
use that word because people know what you're
202
00:14:30.750 --> 00:14:33.629
talking about, and they correct me
said these are not patience, these are
203
00:14:33.669 --> 00:14:35.269
aboarding moms. Yeah, exactly,
and I was like, you know what,
204
00:14:35.429 --> 00:14:39.299
yeah, you're right. Yeah,
and so moving forward I'm kind of
205
00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:41.379
doing the best I can, because
that's what these are, aboarding mom they're
206
00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:46.059
there other people that are here to
kill their children. So the people that
207
00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:50.940
comment, that accompany them, are
called support people, support support people,
208
00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:54.769
and in fact, I love this
that you said this. I believe it
209
00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:58.730
was last week, and I just
loved it and it's so perfect for what
210
00:14:58.850 --> 00:15:03.690
we're discussing now, where one of
the support people said you were eloquently speaking
211
00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:07.360
to him about he needed to go
in there and help this woman to make
212
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.120
a godly choice and to preserve that
baby and to really help that woman because
213
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.960
abortion is so devastating to women as
well. And the man said, look,
214
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.149
I'm I'm not the father, I'm
just here for moral support. Moral
215
00:15:26.470 --> 00:15:31.070
support. Think about that, and
which you pointed out so wonderfully. Well,
216
00:15:31.309 --> 00:15:33.230
you know, if you're here for
moral support, there has to be
217
00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:39.620
something moral they are supporting. Yeah, and the death of an innocent human
218
00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:43.580
being through brutal violment means is not
moral. Yeah, and anybody immoral.
219
00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:46.740
It's very immoral. I think that's
what you said to him. This isn't
220
00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:50.769
im moral. Support is is basically
so. The word, though, the
221
00:15:50.850 --> 00:15:56.450
word that even these people that accompany
the women trying to make them feel it's
222
00:15:56.649 --> 00:16:02.330
okay for them to be there right
in whatever capacity, or support person in
223
00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:06.039
her. So you are. That's
a positive or positive thing. You're holding
224
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.440
them up in their time of need. But really, what they are they're
225
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:15.399
an accessory. They're an accessory to
murder and God will call them to account.
226
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.590
Yeah, for their part in that. I had a mom last week
227
00:16:18.669 --> 00:16:22.950
actually, who she chose life and
one of her relatives was aboarding and she
228
00:16:23.070 --> 00:16:26.950
was paying for it, right,
and she knew that it was wrong and
229
00:16:27.110 --> 00:16:30.429
she was there. She had chosen
like purpose. She was coming to support
230
00:16:30.509 --> 00:16:34.620
the heather. Well, they they
came together and and one of them stopped
231
00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:38.940
to talk to me. Okay,
shows life. And while we're counseling her,
232
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:45.500
the nurse comes to get the payment
for the relative who was aboarding and
233
00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:48.210
we did our best to try and
talk this mom, who chose life,
234
00:16:48.490 --> 00:16:52.250
out of being an accessory to murder, and she kept saying, I'm just
235
00:16:52.929 --> 00:16:57.610
I can't, I have to support
my sister. Yeah, so that words
236
00:16:57.730 --> 00:17:02.879
support, that it's considered support,
when really, what are you doing?
237
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.799
You're helping someone to murder a baby. And words matter. I think a
238
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.400
good analogy or something that people can
connect with, and I use it often
239
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.869
times if I'm talking to US support
person who's just there to support their friend.
240
00:17:18.069 --> 00:17:21.029
Right, I'll say something like well, if they were at the bar
241
00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:22.710
and had a little too much of
drink and they got their keys in their
242
00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:26.950
hand and are walking toward the door
to get in their car and drop down
243
00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:30.660
the road, would you support them? Yeah, because if you didn't do
244
00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:33.539
something to stop them, if you
just ignored that, or if you hopped
245
00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:37.180
in the car with them, right, and someone got killed, you would
246
00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:41.980
be an accessory. Right, you
could be tried and you could be convicted.
247
00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:45.529
Yeah, for not helping your friend
do the right thing. Yeah,
248
00:17:45.529 --> 00:17:48.490
you're culpable, you know. Or
you know, if your friend told you,
249
00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:51.970
Hey, I want to get rob
this bank, would you ride along
250
00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:55.049
with me? Right, if you
hop in the car with them, you
251
00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:57.880
might not do any of the robbing, you might be you might even be
252
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.480
opposed to it, and you talking
to him the whole way. Hey,
253
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.559
I don't want you to rob this
bank, but you're involving in that.
254
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.920
You're being in that vehicle, even
driving the getaway car. Its hearty agreement
255
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.029
to that right. So they are
an accessory to that. Now, of
256
00:18:14.150 --> 00:18:17.549
course, words do mean something and
with our language and with the tone that
257
00:18:17.630 --> 00:18:19.109
we use, in the way that
we speak, we're not just out there
258
00:18:19.190 --> 00:18:25.309
on the sidewalk lamb basting everyone.
Right, you're all bunch of wicked accessories
259
00:18:25.349 --> 00:18:27.619
to murder. When we're given a
one on one opportunity, we use those
260
00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:32.420
words and we want it the conviction, the Holy Spirit to come because ultimately,
261
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:33.059
you mean, you can yell as
loud as you want, you use
262
00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:36.980
all the words you want. Ultimately, of the Holy Spirit doesn't convict them,
263
00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:40.220
there's no change going to take place. So we're trusting in the Lord
264
00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:44.890
and we're trusting in God's timing.
We're trusting in God's ability to reach their
265
00:18:44.970 --> 00:18:48.569
hearts. But we do need to
be truthful with our language. We need
266
00:18:48.769 --> 00:18:52.410
do need to be calculated with the
language that we use so that people don't
267
00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:56.960
let themselves because people will use language
in their own minds to let themselves off
268
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:57.839
the hook. Right, we can't
do that. Yeah, and they do
269
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:02.079
it with the word feed is for
there's many, many words for baby.
270
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.880
Fetus is one that's that's kind of
funny in a way because feet is just
271
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.869
means little one. It's Latin for
little one. It's not like it's saying
272
00:19:10.950 --> 00:19:14.789
in some way fetus is not baby, right, but it makes them feel
273
00:19:14.789 --> 00:19:18.910
better because you're not saying baby.
But one of my least favorite, why?
274
00:19:18.910 --> 00:19:25.140
I have two least favorite one is
just station calling the baby a jest.
275
00:19:25.140 --> 00:19:27.180
Station. Yeah, that to me. I don't know. That one
276
00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:32.180
bothers me a lot. And the
second one that bothers me a lot that
277
00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:36.779
you hear in the abortion industry is
product of conception, right, yeah,
278
00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:41.130
the product of conception. That's half
a product of conception. Party for for
279
00:19:41.329 --> 00:19:47.369
the the pregnant conception shower, right, exactly, in products of conception shower.
280
00:19:47.529 --> 00:19:49.329
You know these MOMS when they find
out they're pregnant, your moms who
281
00:19:49.329 --> 00:19:52.880
were excited about their babies. Right, don't put out there, Hey,
282
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.680
I have a product of conception,
might be a girl or boy. Right,
283
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.559
what do you think? We're going
to have? A yeah, GIN
284
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.720
to reveal fromm probably from station.
Product of conceptive, the word I hate.
285
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.269
Yeah, Watch, I mentioned earlier, is pregnancy, your pregnancy.
286
00:20:07.309 --> 00:20:08.789
We're going to take care, we're
going to remove your pregnancy. No,
287
00:20:10.029 --> 00:20:12.549
you're not. That's it's not a
pregnancy, it's a baby. In any
288
00:20:12.589 --> 00:20:18.470
other scenario, yeah, I've said
this to a boarding mother's in any other
289
00:20:18.549 --> 00:20:21.740
scenario, if you were excited about
this baby, you wouldn't refer to it
290
00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:25.019
as a pregnancy. Doesn't matter how
early you are, you would say I'm
291
00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:27.539
having a baby. You know,
you recommend that. The moment that you
292
00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:30.259
find out it's a baby. It's
not like, well, this, this
293
00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:34.339
is just its ego to or blasticider, you just don't say that that was
294
00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:41.089
say it. It's unless you're trying
to avoid certain realities, you're going to
295
00:20:41.170 --> 00:20:44.329
recognize it's a baby when you see
those two lines on that pregnancy test.
296
00:20:44.410 --> 00:20:47.609
You didn't think, Oh, I'm
carrying a pregnancy, I have just station
297
00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:52.640
you know, I've got a projecty
of conception or a fetus, so have
298
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.039
a baby. I'm a mother exactly. And that kind of brings us.
299
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:02.160
Brings me to this other thault and
the words that we use when we're addressing
300
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.869
the women going into the abortion center. We do say, young lady,
301
00:21:04.869 --> 00:21:07.750
please come over and talked with us. We call me a young lady.
302
00:21:07.829 --> 00:21:12.069
were, of course, kind and
gentle in our tone, but we call
303
00:21:12.150 --> 00:21:15.829
a mom's also. Yeah, we
say my mom, go in there and
304
00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:18.380
take the life of your baby,
because that's the reality, right. Are
305
00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:22.220
Mother's yeah, exactly, and it's
not like we're trying to just reduce them
306
00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:26.059
to mother's which is something I've heard
people say. It is that we are
307
00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:32.970
pointing out. This is there,
there as a mother about to slaughter their
308
00:21:33.009 --> 00:21:38.170
child, and the reminder you are
a mother. That alone can sometimes have
309
00:21:38.849 --> 00:21:44.130
value and power. Yeah, you're
a mother. Yeah, because the truth
310
00:21:44.210 --> 00:21:48.079
is that she is a mother at
the moment of conception. Yeah, yeah,
311
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.119
you know, a mother is a
female, yeah, who has offspring.
312
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.960
Yeah, right. Yeah, she
has in her womb offspring, she
313
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.200
has a child, yeah, her
baby, her son or daughter, and
314
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.910
that baby has gender. It's either
a he or she rather than an it.
315
00:22:06.309 --> 00:22:10.789
Yeah, so we're very conscious about
using gender specific he or she,
316
00:22:11.029 --> 00:22:15.099
your son or your yeah, rather
than referring to the baby as as it.
317
00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:19.420
You know who. I'll share this
testimony at some point. I won't
318
00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:22.259
get into any length. Maybe we'll
have this young lady on. Okay,
319
00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:26.900
the young lady who had put a
post out on facebook and also put it
320
00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:30.250
out in our blog about the young
lady who, you know, I thought
321
00:22:30.369 --> 00:22:33.569
was actually going into a board after
we had talked to her and I said
322
00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:37.369
please, don't do this, and
she turned around and said I'm going in
323
00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:40.250
for a refunds if she got her
money back. I mean, awesome,
324
00:22:40.329 --> 00:22:42.009
the Lord just moves. She got
on, went on the mobile unit after
325
00:22:42.089 --> 00:22:45.519
having been in the in the abortion
center. She went on the mobile unit,
326
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.160
gave her life to the Lord.
Her and her mother actually came back
327
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.319
that next Friday, wow and gave
brought me a gift basket in a car
328
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:59.789
to saying thank you for being a
voice that was there. And her mother
329
00:22:59.869 --> 00:23:03.630
actually was talking about the baby and
she used the word is. She said,
330
00:23:03.670 --> 00:23:04.990
yeah, it's going to be such
a blessing. And she said,
331
00:23:06.069 --> 00:23:07.829
wait a minute, I shouldn't say
the word it. Oh, even she
332
00:23:08.069 --> 00:23:12.740
bet, even she recognized it.
Even she recognized sometimes in our regular common
333
00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:17.420
language we might use the word it
referring to the baby in the womb because
334
00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:19.299
you don't know whether it's a boy
or girl, which he even caught herself
335
00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:23.339
sit. I didn't refer to our
baby as ant. You my grandchild,
336
00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:26.329
isn't it? That's my grand baby. Yeah, yeah, it's yes,
337
00:23:26.450 --> 00:23:30.410
I'm story. Yeah, and another
word that we use a lot is blessing,
338
00:23:32.130 --> 00:23:36.490
and that's the positive what a child
is. They are in less seen
339
00:23:36.569 --> 00:23:40.490
and throughout the Bible every child is
described as a blessing. Yeah, but
340
00:23:40.849 --> 00:23:45.279
the the negative, the words that
are used in the abortion industry and from
341
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.920
the mothers themselves is that this is
a problem, right, yeah, or
342
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:55.710
if cold, situation or condition.
Yeah, and sometimes just shifting the focus
343
00:23:55.750 --> 00:23:57.789
is not a negative one. It
doesn't need to be a negative one.
344
00:23:57.869 --> 00:24:03.349
Yeah, and that that baby is
a blessing. So one of the things
345
00:24:03.390 --> 00:24:07.630
that I did that was really,
I think, illuminating, is going to
346
00:24:07.750 --> 00:24:11.900
the website of the abortion center,
okay, and and looking at some of
347
00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:17.380
the abortion center here on the tree, abortion center here Charlotte. Right.
348
00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:22.140
So that there's so many and I
won't hit every one of them, but
349
00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:26.849
one of the line said we believe
every woman should have control of her life
350
00:24:27.009 --> 00:24:32.250
and her personal decisions. So I'm
reading that and that sounds wonderful. That's
351
00:24:32.329 --> 00:24:34.089
true. You know, you should
have control of your life in your personal
352
00:24:34.130 --> 00:24:37.730
decision. But this is what they
mean. That they're not saying. What
353
00:24:37.809 --> 00:24:42.720
they truly mean is every mother should
be able to murder their own child without
354
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.960
anyone else telling her it is wicked, evil, unnatural or wrong. Yeah,
355
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.599
that now, if they wrote that, if a doubt, that would
356
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.029
be very well received by their client
tail. Probably not. I probably would
357
00:24:56.029 --> 00:25:00.789
lower the rates at which they were
able to make money off of killing children.
358
00:25:00.829 --> 00:25:06.269
Private appointment, private appointment. That
sounds good, that that's a private
359
00:25:06.670 --> 00:25:11.420
they offer a private appointment. So
what that is in actuality is a scheduled
360
00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:17.819
time when mothers would be able to
get away with murdering their unborn child with
361
00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:22.849
the utmost secrecy for an increased cost. Yeah, but it's called a private
362
00:25:22.890 --> 00:25:27.849
appointment, which sounds very yeah,
wonderful, it does. So, and
363
00:25:29.130 --> 00:25:32.849
and there's so much we won't get
into all of them. But they,
364
00:25:33.250 --> 00:25:37.960
they, it's called reproductive healthcare instead
of the brutal murder, yeah, of
365
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.839
an unborn baby. They have counselors
there who are said to be sincere,
366
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:49.789
caring women who are committed to helping
each individual patient complete their treatment. treatment.
367
00:25:51.109 --> 00:25:53.390
Yeah, okay, treatment. What
is treatment? I mean treatment,
368
00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:56.630
you think. Okay, if you're
having a treatment, that you have a
369
00:25:56.710 --> 00:25:59.869
condition. Of course, that's plays
right into the whole thing. Pregnancy is
370
00:25:59.869 --> 00:26:02.630
a condition, right, as far
as these people are concerned. Yeah,
371
00:26:03.509 --> 00:26:07.019
but yeah, so it sounds like
treating a condition. It sounds like dealing
372
00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:11.140
with a condition. And this treatment
is not the brutal murder order of an
373
00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:15.259
unborn baby. This is, you
know, it's a treatment. Yes,
374
00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:18.049
the termination of a pregnancy. It's
the removal of the product of conception.
375
00:26:18.089 --> 00:26:23.650
And get this, this kills me
helping to complete their treatment with the best
376
00:26:23.970 --> 00:26:34.839
possible emotional, physical and spiritual outcome. Wow, that's on the abortion center
377
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:41.279
website, that this treatment the killing
of an unborn child created by God in
378
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:52.990
his image. That treatment will be
carefully completed for the best optimal spiritualcome.
379
00:26:53.029 --> 00:27:00.269
Yeah, which is blasphemy, lashman's
Bologny. Yeah, I mean, goodness,
380
00:27:00.670 --> 00:27:06.180
abortion, as far as spiritually concerned, destroys women. Yeah, I
381
00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:10.420
mean we know, we've heard the
testimonies, we've seen people coming out of
382
00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:14.980
that abortion clinic, just spiritually,
emotionally, physically, yeah, just Straw.
383
00:27:15.140 --> 00:27:18.650
Yeah, this is not. I
mean abortion is a spiritual thing,
384
00:27:18.809 --> 00:27:22.809
just like sacrificing a goat to the
devil is a spiritual thanks, right,
385
00:27:22.849 --> 00:27:27.650
I mean this is yeah, it's
a satanic thing. Yes, the destruction
386
00:27:29.569 --> 00:27:33.000
of an unborn child, image bearer
of Almighty God. Yeah, you know.
387
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.559
So that gets into some of the
terminology as far as the scripture is
388
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:45.150
concerned. When we look scripturally what
the Bible describes the Unborn Child Ass.
389
00:27:45.230 --> 00:27:48.789
You know, we have terms like
in someone thirty nine, you knit me
390
00:27:48.950 --> 00:27:52.509
together in my mother's womb. I
mean what, what's the implications of those
391
00:27:52.549 --> 00:27:56.190
words when you think about me it
together? Yeah, yeah, there's purposeful
392
00:27:56.390 --> 00:28:04.180
design and care and intricacy. Yeah, yeah, intricacy, purpose, even
393
00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:11.019
destiny. Love, yeah, love, care, fearfully and wonderfully made is
394
00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:12.569
in that same Oh, yes,
some, right. So then you have
395
00:28:14.009 --> 00:28:18.769
terms like if fearfully wonderfully made,
wonderful, it goes on to say in
396
00:28:18.849 --> 00:28:21.809
that Psalm and I love I love
preaching about that song. Yeah, because
397
00:28:21.809 --> 00:28:26.130
there's so many good words in there, the best words. Yeah, marvelous
398
00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:29.640
are your works. Yeah, and
that my soul knows real well that word
399
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.119
marvelous. Yeah, when I think
of it, I think of the Grand
400
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.720
Canyon, I think of the God's
creation, I think of looking at an
401
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.319
ultrasound image of a baby in the
womb and and marvel at the handiwork of
402
00:28:41.470 --> 00:28:45.029
God. Yeah, your mouth drops
open, you're astounded. Right, and
403
00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:48.869
that's the words that the scripture uses
concerning the child, that the abortion industry
404
00:28:48.910 --> 00:28:56.220
uses, words like you, product
of conception and treatment, and condition,
405
00:28:56.420 --> 00:29:00.900
like pregnancies, a condition. Word
of God uses these rich, powerful,
406
00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:07.019
life filled or right, like wonderful, like marvelous, like knit. Another
407
00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:10.849
word in that Psalm, and some
one hundred and thirty nine is you covered
408
00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:14.970
me. Ever here be thought about
that word. You covered me in my
409
00:29:15.089 --> 00:29:17.609
mother's WOM. You know, a
couple of years ago I was meditating on
410
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:22.289
that Psalm and just meditating on what
does that mean? You covered me in
411
00:29:22.450 --> 00:29:29.279
my mother's WOM and it really means
it speaks of the involvement of God.
412
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.960
So David is the psalmist there and
he's talking about how God he know.
413
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.480
He starts the Psalm saying God,
you know when I sit down and when
414
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.910
I rise up, you know my
thoughts from afar, you know all my
415
00:29:38.029 --> 00:29:41.710
days before even one of them came
to pass. And so he's talking about
416
00:29:41.710 --> 00:29:45.029
how God knows him and loves him
and has plans for him. And then
417
00:29:45.029 --> 00:29:48.950
he takes it, of course,
from just being outside the womb, being
418
00:29:49.069 --> 00:29:52.390
on the earth. He's talking about
being inside the women. He said you
419
00:29:52.509 --> 00:29:56.380
covered me, means you were involved, you were concerned protecting you. You
420
00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:59.779
cover me now, but you covered
me w while I was my mother's way
421
00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:02.819
back then. Yeah, and the
moment of conception. So you know,
422
00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:07.369
scripturally, words means something. Yeah, words like what we talked about earlier,
423
00:30:07.369 --> 00:30:12.210
about fornication and repentance. And then, of course those are, I
424
00:30:12.289 --> 00:30:19.769
don't say negative words, they're meant
to bring about negative connotations and ultimately positive
425
00:30:19.769 --> 00:30:22.920
change. Right, but then again, you have these life giving words and
426
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:27.559
you have the word like gift.
Children are a gift to your children.
427
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.960
Some thirty or one, twenty seven
children are a heritage. Yeah, from
428
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.230
the Lord less. It is he
whose quivers full. So, yeah,
429
00:30:36.309 --> 00:30:38.990
we ever full is presented as a
joy. where? How many people with
430
00:30:40.109 --> 00:30:45.829
large families find that? People chastise
the Oh yeah, yeah, and they're
431
00:30:45.829 --> 00:30:49.500
my wife has come to me and
that just been, I don't know,
432
00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:53.220
offended probably not the right word,
but distraught, whatever it's like. Yeah,
433
00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:56.420
you know, is that the store
and everybody's looking at me. I
434
00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:57.579
had all the kids with me,
she don't normally take all the kids to
435
00:30:57.700 --> 00:31:00.740
the store, but yeah, we
have eight kids, by the way,
436
00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:03.569
for those who are listening right.
And so she's walking through the store and
437
00:31:03.609 --> 00:31:07.970
she's all these people are looking at
her. You know, she even had
438
00:31:07.049 --> 00:31:10.529
people ask of them. And if
any of you guys are listening that have
439
00:31:10.690 --> 00:31:12.410
large families, you probably going to
ask this. Are All these kids you're
440
00:31:12.849 --> 00:31:15.690
you know, are they all from
the same any poor thing or whatever?
441
00:31:15.769 --> 00:31:19.440
Yeah, thing, bless your horn. Yeah, and one person even asked
442
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.680
her. Actually, a couple of
people best your they all from the same
443
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.079
father as like, okay, words
mean something and you need to put those
444
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.359
words back in your mouth. That's
ridiculous, but I encourage your one time
445
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.549
I said, you know what,
imagine everybody's looking at you funny, whatever.
446
00:31:33.589 --> 00:31:37.470
Imagine you're walking through the store and
you've got a cart full of money
447
00:31:37.910 --> 00:31:41.990
and everybody's looking at you funny,
and they're looking at you strange because you're
448
00:31:41.029 --> 00:31:45.230
pushing a cart full of money and
they all wanted. Well, they may
449
00:31:45.269 --> 00:31:48.779
be looking at you funny because they
think you're flouting your money or whatever.
450
00:31:48.099 --> 00:31:51.339
Who knows why they're looking at you
funny, but are you really going to
451
00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:53.539
care. Right, you got a
cart full of money. Right. Well,
452
00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:56.700
according to the word of God and
the word that God's uses, children
453
00:31:56.740 --> 00:32:00.380
are a blessing or a heritage from
the right. When you're pushing a cart
454
00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:04.769
full of kids through the store,
you're pushing more than a cartful of money,
455
00:32:04.809 --> 00:32:07.170
you're pushing a car full of blessing. So you know again, God's
456
00:32:07.250 --> 00:32:12.730
Word Affirms Certain truths that we need
to grab a hold of. Hey,
457
00:32:12.930 --> 00:32:16.440
and in words do mean something and
as we use really and as the as
458
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:21.759
the language goes. I heard this, I think, from Albert Molar just
459
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.160
a few weeks ago, a couple
weeks ago. As the language goes,
460
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.869
thus goes the culture. And so
you think about expanding beyond the pro pro
461
00:32:31.109 --> 00:32:37.390
life, but just things like the
word gay to describe homosexuality. It's there's
462
00:32:37.390 --> 00:32:42.190
a very different picture when you hear
the word gay first when it first came
463
00:32:42.230 --> 00:32:45.500
out. It gay is happy,
joyful, whatever, and and it was
464
00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:51.900
a way to to make homosexuality very
unaccepted back then when it first came out.
465
00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:54.539
Yeah, and and to change how
people would look at that. And
466
00:32:54.900 --> 00:33:00.890
and that's what's happening big time in
the abortion industry. Is the words are
467
00:33:00.009 --> 00:33:06.490
being used to make our culture believe
that this is an innocuous and even a
468
00:33:06.650 --> 00:33:09.569
good yeah, yeah, and it's
a sad reality. So guys it.
469
00:33:09.690 --> 00:33:14.519
We won't encourage you. You know
again, words mean something, words have
470
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.839
value to them. We need to
be intentional about the words that we use.
471
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.720
Yeah, we don't, of course, need to be nasty when we're
472
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:24.759
communicating with people, but we do
need to be clear, are as articulate
473
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:28.710
as possible. Yeah, we need
to be biblical, you know, when
474
00:33:28.750 --> 00:33:31.750
we're using terminology and now, it
doesn't mean we need to be like super
475
00:33:32.269 --> 00:33:35.710
lofty in our speech, but if
we do use, and I think we
476
00:33:35.750 --> 00:33:38.829
should use, biblical language. Yeah, like I mentioned the example of using
477
00:33:38.869 --> 00:33:44.099
the word fornication and then explain those
words, explain what those words mean,
478
00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:49.180
the word repentance, and then explain
what that word means. So, as
479
00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:53.819
we're standing for life, as we're
standing for truth, it's also contend for
480
00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:58.650
the words that we use. Yeah, contend for the truths that are embodied
481
00:33:58.690 --> 00:34:02.769
in those words. And as the
Lord obviously to help us. When you're
482
00:34:02.769 --> 00:34:07.409
reaching out at an abortion clinic,
you've got fifteen seconds. Well, at
483
00:34:07.409 --> 00:34:12.000
least we do. Yeah, the
most scenarios. Yeah, from their car
484
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.800
to the door, when they're walking
down the sidewalk, everywhere it can got.
485
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.119
Yeah, everywhere, gaster, she
seconds. Yeah, every word counts.
486
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.840
Yeah, he said every word matters. Yeah. So we need to
487
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.949
be intentional, which is, you
know, part of part of what we
488
00:34:24.030 --> 00:34:28.070
do in our trainings and stuff like
that. Right, part of what we're
489
00:34:28.070 --> 00:34:30.670
doing on the sidewalks for life site
is trying to teach people, yeah,
490
00:34:30.829 --> 00:34:37.829
how to speak, how to be
effective. Some folks have this mentality of
491
00:34:37.869 --> 00:34:40.780
add an abortion clinic. We need
to steer away from words like murder.
492
00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:45.019
Hey, just your away from talking
about God. Even. That's not what
493
00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:51.940
we found at all. We found
that your best method is to be graciously
494
00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:54.449
forthright, like you don't need to
be around the bush. If woman's there
495
00:34:54.489 --> 00:34:58.489
for an abortion, ask her,
are you here from an abortion? Don't
496
00:34:58.530 --> 00:35:00.969
talk about the weather, don't talk
about the way. You don't time man
497
00:35:01.010 --> 00:35:04.769
or what do you know? Don't
time that baby's on its way to destruction.
498
00:35:04.809 --> 00:35:07.679
Yeah, and you've got to bring
truth into the equation. Right and
499
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.760
again, you do it graciously.
I don't think it's effective. I actually
500
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.239
I know it's not effective. Just
be yelling abortion is murder of the whole
501
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.880
time. Right, but it is
effective to bring that word into the equation.
502
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.630
Yeah, to talk about the fact
that abortion is murder. Yeah,
503
00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:27.550
I think, certainly in the eyes
of God. Yeah, there's just en
504
00:35:27.550 --> 00:35:30.550
nothing. Talking about that word and
breaking that word down when you have an
505
00:35:30.590 --> 00:35:36.380
opportunity to an abortion minded woman is
a powerful way to show her the reality
506
00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:38.219
of what she's doing. Right,
but we need the Lord's help, right.
507
00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:42.659
Yeah, God always. Yeah,
we need God's help to help us
508
00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:45.820
to bring clarity in the situations.
I hope this podcast is help you guys
509
00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:49.420
a little bit with words. I
hope this has been a blessing. Hope
510
00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:52.289
all the podcasts are blessing to you. Let us know. Let us know
511
00:35:52.409 --> 00:35:54.289
that this podcast was a blessing to
you. Let us know if you have
512
00:35:54.409 --> 00:35:58.730
ideas for future podcast. We're going
to do one in the next couple of
513
00:35:58.809 --> 00:36:00.809
weeks about adoption. Yeah, that'd
be esome. Yeah, and talking about
514
00:36:00.849 --> 00:36:07.400
adoption, I get. I mean
in the past month we've gotten messages through
515
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.440
facebooks or public facebook page about,
you know, my family, we really
516
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:14.519
want to adopt. Is there any
chance you can connect us with an abortion
517
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.239
minded mom at the abortion center that
we can adopt her child. And,
518
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.829
yeah, I've personally gotten too yes, yeah, I've gotten a bunch.
519
00:36:20.949 --> 00:36:24.750
And so we're going to talk a
little bit about how we mention adoption.
520
00:36:24.789 --> 00:36:29.909
Yeah, at the abortion centers,
and when it's appropriate and it's not appropriate.
521
00:36:29.949 --> 00:36:32.739
You know, listen, guys,
there are some inappropriate times to mention
522
00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:37.139
adoption. There are sometimes that a
adoption can be a non starter in a
523
00:36:37.219 --> 00:36:40.579
conversation, can even be the deal
breaker. Ah, yeah, what sends
524
00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:45.099
them running in? Yeah, I've
had conversations stop writing their tracks I mentioned
525
00:36:45.139 --> 00:36:49.690
the word adoption and a woman going
to the abortion center who would otherwise continue
526
00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:52.690
to engage. Anyway. We're going
to talk about that in the coming weeks
527
00:36:52.730 --> 00:36:55.769
with Jessica Moline. Hopefully we'll be
able to pin her down. She's with
528
00:36:55.889 --> 00:37:00.449
option, adoption, but we hope
you guys are blessed with this podcast.
529
00:37:00.530 --> 00:37:07.519
Please share it and until next time, God bless give me our love for
530
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:20.949
love, give me our love for
gratitude. I know it will cost me
531
00:37:21.110 --> 00:37:28.869
my life. Nothing's too precious.
And some met you
