The Discipline of the LORD

This is a guess post, by a special brother of mine, Adrian Bateman. He is an excellent teacher of the word and is a Super Moderator of Rapture Forums . Adrian and his lovely wife Andrea are members of First Baptist Church, Springfield Il. No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined.

The recent appalling videos, and more to come, are proof positive of their mortifying actions--regardless of the spin the leadership of PP is pushing. On Aug. 5th, Janet Parshall interviewed Abby Brannam-Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director, during hour 2 of her show, In The Market . You can listen to it here: Planned Parenthood Abby holds nothing back. She tells the world exactly what is told to the women who come into the clinic and even speaks of the incentives offered to PP employees for getting more abortions for their baby limb and organ peddling operations. To add to the outrage, even a select group of clergy members on the Planned Parenthood Clergy Advocacy Board give there kudos to the ongoing work of the clinics calling it God's work!! It is literally a work of the Enemy! Mark Dooley from The Institution on Religi

The Sifted Generation, Tested, Tried, and Found True is the new title that First Baptist Church Pastor & Author, Michael L. Henderson, has chosen in his endeavor to bring before the world a much needed explanation behind the tide of anti-christian sentiment sweeping across America and the world. Henderson points out,"that today's culture is becoming antagonistic toward biblical Christianity in ways that most Christians would have never imagined in their lifetime. We have gone from a godly nation that, for the most part, resp
