We encourage you to do that. 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
