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.

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 Change

Ok, so here we are again..
Its been a little longer than I wanted, but inspiration comes when it comes.
Looking at this past weekend, we held a Covenant Orientation, and I was blessed with the opportunity to give talk 4: Culture of SFC

Well, I was excited, so excited that I just kept making cnonections, and opening doors.
Truly witnessing how amazing our God is.
From the sanctity of Life to the dissolubility of marriage to helping the poor and being stewards.

You see, the latest revelation for me has been on stewardship. Its been so inspiring that I even started writing letters to different leaders and folks about God's latest message to me.

I see it this way, God has asked that we be stewards of all that is his.. so that explains why we give God our talent, treasure and time.. right?

Well, what if you see it this way instead. God, in his great plan has left with us all our resources, that includes the people you lead, the people you influence, basically everyone you meet, he has his flock here on Earth for each of us to steward.

So for teachers, your students are your resources, you are called to steward them, to protect them, to love them and to bring them to God, even if the only way is through your examples.
Parents, your sons and daughters
Managers, your employees
Executives, you company...




These are all blessings bestowed upon you from God. And he has asked each of us by name to support and bring up his children, his lamb so they may know God.

We must serve all, we must be selfless and loving at all times. This sets the tone for evangelization and renewal. Not in the whole Bible banging sense, but in the kind caring, always living your life in a Christ-like manner sense.

Understand?

So we are all empowered to be change agents, we are all empowered for change.
The Change that we are called to now is the change of Corporate America.

It sounds like a big task, a tall order, but think about the messages and the times we are in.
I asked a bunch of our employees about what they thought if we launched an interest group for Christians so that they could support eachother and discuss how to live a Christian life at work. You know, the response was amazing, even the critics believe it would spread like wild fire. People are yearning and thirsting for Christ at work.

And don't forget, with 70% of y our time at work.. well, where else do you think these lessons will be learned to brign back home?

And what about the change environment. Well, companies are seeking for a foundation that is honest, high integrity, moral, serving, selfless, caring, nurturing.. hmmm sounds like Christian values to me.

And the days of seperating religion from work are over. I understood church and state, but when did we start seperating it in Corporate America?

We have diversity councils and groups for different races, different ages even different interests, so before the enemy figure out how to use those tools, let us as Christians stand up and use these tools for his greater glory. Start these groups to support eachother, and feel confident and free to talk about your honest feelings, your honest desires. There is no more need for a mask at work, be proud to be Christian.

I remember a shirt I own: Catholicism is not a spectator sport

I think that sums it all up, so lets get active, lets make it known and ask for the Holy Spirit to guide this work. He has called us by name.

Now let's answer and witness for him, let us not be a spectator.
