Isn’t it nice that we celebrate Love in the middle of Black History Month?

Hello Friends, as Valentine’s Day approaches, also remembering Black History Month, please remember the “Beloved Community” spoken of by my Uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and my Dad, his brother, Rev. A. D. King.
In his 1963 sermon, Loving Your Enemies, published in his book, Strength to Love, Dr. King addressed the role of unconditional love in struggling for the beloved Community. ‘With every ounce of our energy we must continue to rid this nation of the incubus of segregation. But we shall not in the process relinquish our privilege and our obligation to love. While abhorring segregation, we shall love the segregationist. This is the only way to create the beloved community.”
One expression of agape love in Dr. King’s Beloved Community is justice, not for any one oppressed group, but for all people. As Dr. King often said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” He felt that justice could not be parceled out to individuals or groups, but was the birthright of every human being in the Beloved Community. I have fought too long hard against segregated public accommodations to end up segregating my moral concerns,” he said. “Justice is indivisible.”
In a July 13, 1966 article in Christian Century Magazine, Dr. King affirmed the ultimate goal inherent in the quest for the Beloved Community: “I do not think of political power as an end. Neither do I think of economic power as an end. They are ingredients in the objective that we seek in life. And I think that end or that objective is a truly brotherly society, the creation of the beloved community.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Morning Meditation: seeking to be a more effective prolife witness
February 9th, 2010
In seeking to be a more effective prolife witness, it came to my attention today, for yet another time in my life, that I must remove the beam from my eye before I can even consider a mote in someone else’s eye. I was reading Proverbs 8: 12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. 13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
In our quest in advancing the culture of life, as we seek to impact policy, moving the nation and the world back to God, seeking repentance first for ourselves and then others, I realized once again that it starts in my life first… I must first recognize and hate the evil in me, in my thoughts, my heart and my deeds… Then, once God is allowed to show me my sins, convict my own heart, then, with true repentance, I can look upon others with mercy and compassion. They too may be plagued with pride and arrogance, and now, as I become a trembling example of a life brought low, humbled by God’s presence, God’s grace can shine through me, drawing others to repentance of a life that still needs to embrace the sanctity of life… We must take the beams out of our eyes, so to speak, before we can be humble enough to want to help others be rid of the motes in their eyes. Then, and only then, can we begin to see life more clearly; as pitiful little ones, needing ABBA CREATOR to help us grow… Peace and love to all! Alveda

Why the National Media Blackout?

Contact: Dr. Gary Cass, Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, 866-508-2232, 954-551-9770

VISTA, Calif., Feb. 5 /Christian Newswire/ — “Anti-Christian hostility is getting increasingly deadly as this week’s tragic events demonstrate,” said Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. “The increasing demonization of Christians in our culture makes some feel its open season on Christians.”

According to the Boynton Beach police, simply sharing the word of God on the street is what brought two ministers to the man who killed them. Tite Sufra, 24, and Stephen Ocean, 23, were shot and killed Saturday night after meeting Jeriah Woody, 18. They witnessed to Woody for fifteen minutes when he got a phone call and told the preachers he ‘had to go.’ As they walked away, Woody suddenly started walking back toward them. Sufra walked up to greet him and was killed with a shot gun blast at point blank range. When Ocean ran, he was shot in the back. After he fell, Woody shot him in the head execution style. Woody was arrested Wednesday and is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

“As of today, there are no national news organizations reporting this vicious murder of two innocent Christian men. Why?” Cass said, “I’ll ask this: If two Muslims, or two feminists or two homosexuals were murdered, wouldn’t the media be all over it? These were two fine young black Christian men shot by another black man for their Christian faith, yet the media does not seem to care.”

Cass continued: “It is an ominous sign of our times that Christians are being shot on the streets and in our churches. Last year Jim Pullion was killed while holding pro-life signs in front of his granddaughter’s Owasso Michigan high school. Rev. Fred Winters was murdered while preaching in his pulpit in Maryville, Illinois. Increasingly we see Christian ministers threatened and churches terrorized and vandalized for their stand on marriage. Now when Christians gather for worship they must have armed security. Anti-Christian defamation and bigotry has helped to create this violent climate and it must stop.”

About the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission - The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) is a national, not-for-profit 501(c) (3) Education Corporation whose purpose it is to champion Christian religious liberty, domestically and internationally, by standing against anti-Christian defamation, bigotry, and discrimination.

A friend called me this morning. Her eighteen year old son was outraged! “Mom,” he said, “is this supposed to be the African American response to the Tim Tebow ad? No way.” The young man was referring to Planned Parenthood’s procuring two retired Black athletes to say that while they had no problem with the Tebow testimony, it is still okay to support the choice for a woman to abort her child. Once again, Planned Parenthood tries to hide the painful truth and the victorious solution. Abortion hurts women, kills babies and targets minorities. The solution, choose life as Pam Tebow decided to do.

Please take a few minutes to watch this video posted on YouTube and Facebook. There is a powerful message for church leaders and the church in this testimony video.
Tijuanna Adetunji, the wife of a pastor from Montgomery Alabama is introduced Rev. Arnold Culbreath of Protecting Black Life. She gives her testimony of three abortions followed by her experience of finding forgiveness and healing. The video concludes with the moving testimony of Katrina Martin of Bound 4 Life, a young woman whose mother changed her mind to abort her while in the hospital waiting for the abortion. Powerful video.
Ms. Adetunji writes of her video, “I am testifying and appealing especially to African American women to take off the mask about their past traumatic experience(s) of abortion. By doing this we can aid in the prevention of other young women repeating the cycle and reduce the risk factors that often lead to decision to abort like; unplanned pregnancy through fornication and adultery which are often hid behind our right to choose.”

Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death;
Don’t stand back and let them die.
Don’t try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it.
For God knows all hearts, and he sees you.
He keeps watch over your soul, and he knows you knew!
And he will judge all people according to what they have done.”
Proverbs 24:11-12 (NLT)

in my blog and on african american outreach website, there is a misprint in statistics. I should read:
in paragraph two of your open letter on my blog it states that minority women make up It should read 56-58% of all abortions.

Tell NOW not to worry. Post abortive mothers are encouraged by the Tebow testimony.
Let us thank God for the courage and love of Tim and Pam Tebow, sharing the choice of life in the face of challenge and controversy. When other women were struggling with the choice of abortion, Pam was blessed to be able to come through her trial and choose life. Tim is the blessed result.
As a post abortive African American mother, a victim of seconday genocide and first hand eugenics; who also faced hard choices, and didn’t know how to find the support needed to choose life at the time, I am not hurt by the Tebow testimony.
It is abortion that hurts women and kills babies. With the verifiable links to abortion and breast cancer, the after effects that women experience (see silentnomoreawareness.org and rachelsvineyard.org) women have more to gain by hearing life affirming testimonies than they do from choosing abortion!
I feel like we are on the same team, like I lost the ball in the first or second quarter, got hurt when I was tackled, down on the ground, and had to be carried out of the game to wait it out on the sidelines. Hey, wait, the game of life isn’t over yet. There are other players! Then, while I am healing from my pain, cheering from the sidelines, in comes Pam and Tim with their testimony, they have the ball and they are running to the finish line. They are not hurting me, they are blessing me with their courage and their love!
They choose life and choose to live and tell the story. Touchdown!
I am encouraged! I can see that more and more women will choose life because of the Tebow testimony. And that is truly a good thing. What a mighty blow to genocide. My Uncle Martin said: “truth crushed to earth will rise again.” The truth is, and NOW needs to understand this, abortion hurts women and kills babies. The choice for life respects the civil rights of the baby to live, and the procreative reproductive rights of the mother. The truth will make us free.

Contact your members of Congress today, and even your state legislators. Defend Pregnancy Centers!

Congress and State Legislators and even county commissioners and city council members are getting a lot of requests to either support or suppress pregnancy care centers. Now is the time to let your voice be heard. Contact your elected officials and let them know you support your pregnancy care centers! You can call them and email them!

The best way to make a statement is for a lot of people to write an e-mail with the same subject line, such as “In support of pregnancy centers. For information on how to reach your elected officials, go to www.politicalresponsibility.org.

You can check out some hearings at http://www.tvw.org/media/mediaplayer.cfm?evid=2010011294&TYPE=V&CFID=4487142&CFTOKEN=14889398&bhcp=1. Also, the Seattle Times wrote a decent article (for the Times), which can be read at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politicsnorthwest/.

Check out the testimony of Senator Joseph Zarelli (R-18th Dist. – southwest WA), who gave an impassioned plea against the bill. Another is the closing testimony of a young woman, Kimberly Cole, who is a nurse, Lynwood City Council member, and Board member of Public Hospital District 2. She had a crisis pregnancy 6 years ago, and became a client of a center in the Seattle area. This young woman testified to how well she was treated and how much she was helped. How about the support of Senator Cheryl Pflug (R-5th Dist. – east King County, who is also a nurse). She asked the other panel members if any of them were affiliated with Planned Parenthood and four of the six sheepishly raised their hands. They were exposed as “bogus clients” doing undercover work. They were not real clients, like ours were. Sen. Pflug exposed their bias. She also countered the testimony of a doctor on their panel who said there was absolutely no connection between abortion and breast cancer while angrily holding up the printout of a pregnancy center web page that said there was a link. This was to prove that we give out medically inaccurate information. Sen. Pflug went online during the hearings and googled a study by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Univ. of Washington) that says abortion is a risk factor for breast cancer. Sen. Pflug pointed out that the study also says there are 19 other studies drawing the same conclusion. WOW! This is so much more powerful coming from her that from us!

Senator Chris Marr (D-4th Dist. – Spokane), considered to be a swing vote in the Senate, is on the committee, and a co-sponsor of the bill.

Anyone who contacts Sen. Marr may receive an e-mail response defending the bill. This appears to be a “canned” response. Don ‘t let Senator Marr succeed in attempts to make the bill appear innocuous. It is very important to keep up the pressure on him with even more follow up e-mails to this address: marr.chris@leg.wa.gov. Calls to the toll free legislative hotline will not go to him if you live outside his district – same with the e-mail address on the website. The best way to make a statement is for a lot of people to write an e-mail with the same subject line, such as “In support of pregnancy centers,” using the format noted above (last name, first name @leg.wa.gov.)..

Also, please contact Rep. John Driscoll (D-4th Dist. – Spokane). He is the Vice-Chair of the Health and Wellness Committee. He, too, is a swing vote.

Let us all continue to pray for God’s mercy and love working in the hearts of everyone as this battle wages.
