Elections

This party or that?
The definition of the real person is in principle.

But even so, the voice of the one calling is clouded by the voice on Earth.
God is not in this country's daily life, it is not in the daily movement or footstep of the people of this country. And so, people say that they will vote because the issues are not religious in order that effect them, but instead are something they consider to be greater..

the personal calling of a stranger, who can manipulate words, fake smiles and waver with the wind. Instead of God, they think of themselves.

Instead of the real future, they see only the words and tales of man.
The next four years will be interesting, because Life is at stake, and even moreso,
this entire democracy is at stake. Right now its a republic, but beyond that, its unable to stand up for the true principles of what people need. Instead, the sensationalism of charm and good talks about economy and new hopes and plausible change are the head turners and the shadow's fife calling people to the wrong army.

Regardless, this challenge may just be the thing needed to spring God's army forward and own the entire process, not for themselves, but for those that cannot see. The blind will be made to see again and the Lord will command the real change, the real search and the real answer: The Light of the world is in Christ.

Love, that's all we are called to do right now. So go out and show it, even on the political mess of a show we have going on.

Part 1: Research on IPPF and Life

The following is a collection of research I have been conducting.

This link provides the leading 15 prolife (labeled as anti-choice in PP) organizations.

access/antichoice-organizations-6127.htm


I was reading the other day on Margaret Sanger.
Boy, does her life story make me sad, a ilttle upset as well.
Anyways, her actiond started International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), she loved sexual intercourse. straight forward. She could have cared less about women's rights and family rights. She was interested in promoting hedonisitc values and concepts. Contraceptives and Abortion were products of her work, and she had a systmatic way implementing it. A method still in use today in mnay developing countries. In the next set of blogs I will continue to write on the life of Margaret Sanger and the work of IPPF. Not that any of this is new, actually, there is a autobiography that states her involvement in many things that Planned Parenthood has hidden from the public.

She also was a fond believer in Eugenics (Cleansing of the race), thats right, actually some of her books and publications were translated to German and used by German scientists during the second World War, I wouldn't be surprised if they influenced some concepts of the holocaust.

She was fiery for sure, and her influence seemed rather large.
But I leave you with this, if the above organizations know these things, how many are willing or able to develop a new culture in the world. Yes I am speaking of the culture of Life, but I am also speaking of a strong NGO to not just go against, not to just defend life, but to promote it, via media, books, publications, seminars, clinics, everything Sanger created, there can be a good version created as well.

If this interests you, perhaps you have recieved a similar calling. Comment on your thoughts and watch out for the continuation of this topic.

It is ok to work secular for the Kingdom of God, for to seperate oneself from society, only prevents us from knowing and changing the darkest of hearts. We are called to bring light to the world, even Jesus instructed us that a lamp should not be covered or put in a place low, but should be placed high upon the mountaintops for the whole world to see.

Are you willing to Expose and Explain then live as an example of Christ?

Empowering the Poor For Life

Some thoughts and reflections on our work with ProLife and Gawad Kalinga, Helping the poor. These words were inspired when I was talking a FTW in the Philippines about GK and finding a secular understranding of this spiritual connection: I'm sure there is more to be added, but for me this has been quite a revelation in better understanding our work as Catholics. Please pass on to those that may be looking for a foundation of the work we do for the poor and for Life. God Bless

We must empower the poor to choose, to hope and plan for their future and to make the responsible choices for their lives and their children's lives, in turn this will provide a foundation for the culture of life, and creates a more aware and more accountable population that can plan accordingly to their needs within control, recognizing that the control is in the values, and not the governance..


If we can't change their viewpoint, then we have issues that won't go away, and the cure for this is not by limiting the population thru governance or human intervention, but through holding their hand, giving them hope and rebuilding their lives
"We don't need to limit their amount of kids, we need carefully discern the number of children God wants them to have"


When you talk with the impoverished women as to why do they get pregnant?

And they have answers like...

We weren't really thinking, we just needed temporary release that time and now I’m pregnant

OR My husband was drunk and I couldn't stop him

OR It's okay, the more kids we have the better chances that one of them will make it and get us out of poverty


Middle class families carefully plan out their familiesand there is some proof that it's among the poor that population can grow...so we must look to the poor. By creating the homes and relationships in GK, we are really creating with the values the foundation of the culture of life. Which in turn is raising a new generation of people that will be grounded in the values that God has shown us...So we restore the dignity of both the body and soul..


We also protect life through the opportunity of nurturing the poor, so countless of lives are not just saved, but also have seen witness of Christian work and can pass these values onto further generations.
