Will Mississippi’s Epitath be : “Yeah, but that’s something people care about ?”

From a recent Mississippi Personhood Amednment Update

Back in the spring, we were meeting with some leaders from one of the state’s big denominations to try to get them on board to support Personhood in & through their churches. One man told us how diffficult it would be for us to gather all the signatures and pass the Amendment at the ballot box.

I reminded him that in 2001 there was an effort made to change our state flag. Grassroots people with no money, no existing organization, and no plan came out of the woodwork and gathered the signatures. Then — while being outspent about 10 to 1 they led an effort to protect the flag. I asked, “can the Christian people of Mississippi not do the same to protect the most innocent & helpless human beings among us ?!?!?”

He gave me an answer that chills me to this day.
He said :
“Yes, but that was something that people cared about.”
Do you — do we — care as much about defending the lives of innocent children as we did about defending our state flag ?
If not, when God judges America, there could be a big sign hanging over Mississippi with a picture of the state flag & a dead baby that says “Yeah, but that’s something people care about.”

NEEDS –

Ultimately, this petition drive & the vote that follows is a referendum — before God — on the people of Mississippi. Thinking “pro-life” won’t stop the killing of unborn babies. Neither will talking pro-life or going to the polls every four years and voting for politicians who claim to be pro-life, but do not have the courage to do ALL that they can to stop the killing if it might cost them the election.
Abortion will end when God’s people pray & act like they’re pro-life

We would ask that everyone on this list and everyone that you know who is a pro-life Christian would commit to at least one day a week of fasting and prayer about this. But don’t just pray that God would act pray that He would give you a burden & an opportunity to be used to stop the killing.

** C.T. Studd was a missionary from England in the 1800’s he was a nationally famous athlete who gave up opportunities for fame & fortune to serve & suffer for Christ. God used him mightily in India, China, and Africa. He was a man of prayer, but here’s what he said about prayer without action :

“We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism…To your knees, man! and to your Bible! Decide at once! Don’t hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!”~C.T. Studd

PLEASE DO MORE THAN THINK, VOTE, OR TALK PRO-LIFE. PUT FEET ON YOUR CONVICTIONS.

Everyone who gets this who is pro-life :
1) Please commit to PERSONALLY gathering at least one more sheet of signatures (more than one sheet is not difficult).
NOT SOMEONE ELSE — YOU. Everyone who gets this message whether you are very limited and live in a very rural area or you have already gathered thousands of signatures can fill up ONE MORE SHEET of ten signatures
2) Please spread the word & ask others in your area and people that you know in other parts of the state. Send them an e-mail/ make a call. I KNOW that getting the same message forwarded to you is annoying, I know many people get tired of emails from Personhood — BUT WHAT IS THAT IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT CHILDREN ARE BEING KILLED IN OUR STATE ?!?!?
3) Please prayerfully consider committing to producing at least 100 more signatures — directly or indirectly — by contacting churches in your area, letting us know when an event is coming up that we can get signatures at (or plan on going yourself). Petitioning at an event may seem intimidating or uncomfortable — but it is not as hard as it seems. Our most effective & productive petitioners are a bunch of shy homeschool kids who have stepped out in faith
4) Please consider making a donation to help. If you would like, you can purchase a nice Personhood T-shirt or make a donation electronically at http://personhoodmississippi.com/. Or you can mail a donation to the address below. Even $10 would help

Beyond Personhood

— please consider getting involved in sidewallk counseling at the abortion clinic in Jackson or Memphis or New Orleans. Or volunteer at a local Crisis Pregnancy Center. Or consider adoption or foster care (or financially support those who do these things. If you would like to get involved in stopping abortion in our state in other ways, we can help put you in contact with folks that coordinate some of these worthy works. If you will step out in faith, God will honor this faith with opportunities to share His Gospel & live out His love with people who need it — and you will bear much fruit.

DOES ANY PRO-LIFE CHRISTIAN CARE ???? IF WE DO NOT MAKE IT, WILL YOU BE SATISFIED KNOWING THAT WE HAD TH…E CHANCE TO END ABORTION & YOU SPENT YOUR WEEKENDS ENTERTAINING YOURSELF FOR A WHOLE YEAR ?!?!?
I like sports and having fun as much as anyone but how can Christians spend every non working/ non school/ non church hours feeding their flesh & Spiritualizing any call to service ? Football & frisbee ? Volleyball & vacations ? Shopping & movies ? Biking & baseball ? Love ‘em all. BUT while innocent children are being dismembered ?!?
God says in Isaiah 1 that when our hands (as a naition) are covered with the blood of the innocent that our very prayers are stench in His nostrils & our acts of worship are hated by Him.
God HEARS the cries of the fatherless . Are we so enraptured with the music if vanity fair that we cannot ?
