Join us for this special live-stream event! So many of you have been a part of this ministry with us and we want to show you what the Lord has done and how you can join us toward victory in this cause! Look what the Lord has done! Please consider joining us for our biggest and most important year yet! TO GIVE: https://ean.link/give

00:00: Hi, everybody. I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin, the head of End Abortion Now. I want to start this by, from the bottom of my heart, thanking all of you who have been a part of this ministry with us since the very beginning.
00:11: When we started End Abortion Now, we wanted to save lives. And when we started that work, God blessed it.
00:17: And we have been able to raise up about a thousand churches across the U .S. and really around the world, the
00:23: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland. Everything was given away for free to these churches.
00:29: Nothing was asked of them. We've equipped them. We've raised them up, and now they're saving lives.
00:35: God's blessed that work. God also blessed us, as many of you know, in the area of having a prophetic witness, a voice to legislators across the country.
00:44: And over the years, through your partnership with us, we've been able to get bills of equal protection and abolition into states across the
00:54: United States of America. This next session, we have, prospectively, commitments from legislators in 18 states across the
01:03: United States of America. That's 18 states that are going to be putting in bills of equal protection and abolition of abortion.
01:10: It's incredible. It's overwhelming. It's a huge gift. And what we need this next year, 2024, is we need your prayers.
01:19: We need your partnership. We need you to go to EndAbortionNow .com. Sign the statement of equal protection.
01:25: Get connected. Get your church involved. We want to help you. We also need you to partner with us financially.
01:32: 2024 actually presents incredible opportunities for us as a ministry. Not only do we have all of these states that we have bills of equal protection set to go into, but now we have the past history of going and sitting before legislators, sitting in state legislatures, and actually working for these bills of abolition.
01:51: It is truly changing. And with what just took place in Ohio with the ballot measure, it has emboldened many, many
01:59: Christians to take a stand once and for all for what is right before God and take a stand for justice for the pre -born children.
02:07: Next year, 2024, is going to be our most important and our busiest year we've had yet.
02:14: And so I want to ask you, as a brother, as a friend, as a ministry partner, to partner with us again in 2024.
02:20: Help us to meet our budget goals so that we can accomplish all that God has given to us to establish justice for these fatherless children and to once and for all end child sacrifice.
02:33: Please partner with us. Go to endabortionnow .com to give, pray, and to sign up.
02:57: I am very, very lucky. They slept great through the night, great through the day.
03:03: Well eaters, I have no complaints. He loves to be cuddled and held, barely ever cries.
03:12: I feel like I was blessed, and because I made a really positive and good decision, that God blessed me with a really good baby.
03:26: My name is Devine, and then this little guy right here is Oliver, and he is seven months old.
03:39: Initially what took me out to the abortion clinic was, with my last pregnancy, I was diagnosed with hypermesis gravidarum, and that is just like excessive throwing up and being really, really, really sick while you're pregnant.
03:51: And it put me out of work, and we were already struggling and trying to recover with our finances. So it was really probably money issues,
04:00: I would say. What I remember when I pulled in that day was there were a whole bunch of people standing at the road protesting, and I felt very overwhelmed and uncomfortable because I did already have a daughter, and I also was adopted, so I knew every option and other road that I could possibly take on.
04:24: And when I saw them, I also felt like a sense of relief when I got there too.
04:29: That day I was experiencing a lot of over -emotions, and I was overwhelmed, stressed, and I just didn't really know which way to turn.
04:44: Probably also a little numb, I want to say, just because I didn't fully believe in that decision, having an abortion.
04:55: So I was conflicted. And when I went there that day, I already knew that I didn't really want to go through with having the abortion.
05:04: And so when I got out of my car, I did go into the office, but they told me that you needed to do walk -in appointments only.
05:12: And when I got there, they told me you needed to call and make an appointment. So they actually had no walk -ins available, and it was about an hour drive from my house, so I would have to go home and find another way to come back.
05:24: So it felt, in a way, like it wasn't something that I was supposed to do. And then as I was pulling away, they came up to my car window because there was a lot of traffic and asked me to roll my window down, and I did.
05:38: And then we had a nice conversation about why I felt the way I did about having an abortion and where in life and what it was
05:46: I was struggling with. They ended up giving me money that day on the spot for groceries because we were short on rent and stuff because I was already getting sick and I was only like eight weeks pregnant.
06:00: And they helped me out that week with groceries, and then they also gave me their phone number and told me that I should call them and get in touch with them.
06:09: And so it was more me being adopted and just talking about the other routes that I could take that really led me to be like, hey, someone else saved me and showed me a route of love that I know no matter the struggle, and mine was only with money, that I could still keep my son.
06:30: It's hard to imagine if the church wasn't there that day because I don't know what the outcome would have actually been.
06:41: I don't know if I would have gone through it with how bad we were struggling. My life is going right now with work and family and still living in this state and having full custody of my kids turned out beneficial because if it would have went any other way, he wouldn't be here or I wouldn't be blessed with the job opportunities and everything that has come my way since I was able to keep him.
07:08: I could not honestly imagine life without Oliver. He is perfect. He resembles a lot of his sister.
07:17: They both took on the date the 12th of the year, so he didn't want her to be the only star in my life.
07:26: And then he copied her with the helmet. He's moving and growing so much.
07:34: And then I get to see him and work with him every single day, so I couldn't imagine life any other way. He is actually the first boy in my family on my side from my grandparents.
07:45: So my dad is thrilled. He now has a fishing buddy. And everybody else just loves him because everybody's squishy.
08:01: What I would say to a mom who is leaning towards getting an abortion is to personally wait and to look into resources in your community, in your churches that can offer you some help no matter what the issue is, whether it's not being with the father anymore, being young that you have to tell your parents or your grandparents or your guardian, whether in and out of trouble, alcohol issues, whatever it is, your kids love you from the moment they are made inside of you and you can feel that love before you even take a test.
08:47: And everything through them is brand new. And it just reminds you of all the little things in life, whether you didn't have a family growing up, your parents weren't around.
09:00: I was adopted growing up. My birth parents were in and out of jail. But there's nothing more empowering than overcoming your struggles and making a change.
09:14: And we can't make a change without actually stopping the wrongs and doing what's right.
09:23: And what's right is saving lives and making a positive, impactful change amongst them and yourselves.
09:50: Listen, listen, because every second counts. Listen, because every second counts.
10:03: Why is abortion wrong? Abortion isn't wrong because it hurts women, although it does.
10:09: Abortion isn't wrong because babies in the womb can feel pain. And abortion isn't wrong because babies have a detectable heartbeat.
10:18: The reason abortion is wrong is because it's murder. And murder is a violation of the law of God.
10:26: God commands us in His Word in Exodus 20, 13, You shall not murder.
10:33: Mankind is made in His image. To assault the baby in the womb is to shed innocent blood, something that God says
10:41: He hates in Proverbs 6. Psalm 139 tells us that God knit all of us together in the wombs of our mothers, in the secret place.
10:50: His eyes saw our unformed substances, and all the days of our lives were written in His book when as yet there was none of them.
10:57: Jesus Himself entered the world as a baby, and He did so to save His people from their sins.
11:05: Galatians 4 tells us that He was born of a woman, born under the law, that He would redeem those under the law and bring about their adoption as sons.
11:14: And so abortion not only violates the image of God, but also is an assault on Christ Himself.
11:20: Why is abortion wrong? Because God says so. Many of you,
11:35: I'm sure, are aware of what took place in the state of Ohio just recently. A ballot measure was put in that essentially legalized child sacrifice and the slaughter of the pre -born all the way up until birth.
11:47: It is truly a horrific thing to imagine. And it passed.
11:53: It passed by popular vote. And so you see that the opposition, they are working consistently with their worldview.
12:02: They are working without compromise. They are working with boldness in their position. It's time for the
12:08: Christians in this nation to stand against this evil with the light of the gospel, the uncompromising truth of God's Word.
12:18: It's time for us to stand boldly in the public square and to stop the compromise. It's time to tell the truth.
12:24: It's time to stand and be ready to lay our lives down for the sake of these children. In 2024, we need you.
12:31: God's blessed this ministry, this work, beyond what we imagined. And He's done it with your help.
12:39: All of these years, it's been Christians just like you that made all of this possible. And so I want to ask you to join together with us as we take a stand without compromise, consistently, demanding justice for these pre -born children, demanding that the slaughter ends once and for all, legally.
12:58: Help us to establish equal protection for all humans from fertilization across this nation.
13:04: Join us in 2024. Go to endabortionnow .com to give. I'm Leterica Thomas.
13:42: I'm Kristana. I'm Lauren Davis. Keishon Stinson and Kingston Stinson, my two sons.
13:50: She's three. Her name is Navy Kyle White. She is sassy, but she loves trucks and dirt and dirt bikes and everything like that.
14:00: I am due January 28th, 2021, and I'm going to name her
14:06: Savaria. Pray that I can be everything that I need to be for her and be a good mom and not have her to struggle or to go without, basically.
14:16: Me and my little girl, we have like a special kind of bond because I think, you know,
14:22: I know that I was going to have an abortion with her. He's a happy baby. Like, he's so happy.
14:28: Everybody loves him. He likes to eat and he's already walking. Like, he walks real good.
14:37: I thought I didn't, I couldn't afford it. It's something I can't do. I didn't really see myself being a parent to begin with.
14:45: So I was like two babies and then the father was also pushing the issue.
14:51: So it kind of helped just for me to go ahead and try it. I had just had
14:56: Kingston. I think he was about nine, ten months when I found out
15:02: I was pregnant. And I was scared. I didn't have no help. So I was feeling like I was going to be raising two babies by myself with no help.
15:10: We were staying in a hotel. Didn't have nowhere to go. I was paying a high car note. I just had a lot already on my plate that I was dealing with and I felt like I wasn't ready to deal with no second baby.
15:22: I felt like that I could not have another baby. And that's just that.
15:28: I feel like I couldn't take care of another baby. I feel like I didn't have time for another baby. That's just it, you know.
15:34: When we got here, I heard him and he was telling me that he can help me.
15:40: And there's, you know, don't worry about anything. I'm helping you. And I just didn't have the heart to. So when
15:46: I went in there and I seen everybody getting ready for everything and, yeah, the place even gave me weird vibes itself.
15:54: So I changed my mind. And when I came out, yeah, he got upset, kind of pulled off, and left me in the parking lot.
16:03: And he was there saying, hey, I'll give you a lift, whatever you need. I can help you. And I took his information.
16:10: The day that I did pull in, me and my grandma had scraped up on enough money for me to make the first appointment, which was $2 .75.
16:18: But once I pulled into the parking lot, I think I was the only one in the parking lot and Pastor Scott.
16:26: And they all was trying to get my attention and pray with me. I was thinking maybe I should just go listen to what they had to say.
16:32: I mean, I always believed in God. And at that time, I felt like I needed prayer. So I went over and talked to Pastor Scott and Mike, and they talked to me about the history of Planned Parenthood.
16:42: He prayed with me. He told me how he would be able to help me out of the situation that I was in.
16:48: And also help me raise my child. And then I ended up talking to Ms. Kathy, which she's with Operation Saving Life.
16:57: So I talked over the phone with her for a long time about everything that had happened.
17:04: And right over the phone, she made me fall in love with her just like that. Just seeing her arms and her legs,
17:14: I honestly think that that had a lot to do with it. I was like, I cannot. It just made it more real, you know?
17:21: Because when you're in a situation like me, you're thinking, oh, at the time, it's nothing. It's just a little seed.
17:27: You know, it's nothing. You're going to take the pill. You know what I'm saying? Whatever, whatever. But then when you actually see a whole human.
17:36: And granted, I do have a little boy, and I know what it was all about. But I don't know.
17:42: I was just thinking, you know, it's just that little seed. Then I seen her legs and her arms and stuff. It was a whole fetus.
17:48: And I was like, no, I cannot do that. I just didn't have the heart to do it. And I figured if he was offering help and he was going to be there for me mentally, emotionally, you know, just being there for me, then
18:03: I was going to take him upon that. I was staying in a hotel, a ran -down hotel, for about a year.
18:12: And Miss Kathy dropped me off there one day, and she saw it. And she was like, no, you would not be living here.
18:18: So they helped me get into, based on income, apartments in Smyrna. They paid the first month rent deposit until I was able to pay it myself.
18:29: Someone donated a van to them, and they gave it to me. They signed the title right over to my name, where I wouldn't have to pay my car no more.
18:37: So that was amazing. And they helped with my boys as much as possible. They bought clothes, diapers, milk, anything that I need.
18:44: They helped. Gas card, grocery cards. Whatever we need, basically, they there.
18:50: Whenever I feel stressed out, I call and talk and pray with Miss Kathy. But eventually, on down the line, they ended up getting me a vehicle and a car seat, you know what
19:01: I'm saying, like all the little things I needed. Absolutely no strings attached. I was like, do you want me to clean the church or something, or what do you want me to do?
19:08: And they was like, oh, nothing. We just want to help you get back on your feet so you can provide for you and your baby.
19:14: Scott told me that he would help me with whatever I needed. He'd throw me a baby shower.
19:19: He also tried to get me a lift so I can get home safely. And Scott has came through with all of his words.
19:26: He helped me with rental assistance. He helped me on my car note. And he put food in my house as well.
19:33: He's kept his word the whole time. I'm still in shock that someone helped that much. Operation Saving Life, they make me feel like I'm their family.
19:42: Like, it's no, like, discrimination, you know what
19:47: I'm saying. Nobody talks about you. We dress however we want to dress. Nobody's looking at you no certain way.
19:53: Everybody welcomes you in. It's family. Everyone wants to help you. I mean, whatever you need, I feel like there's somebody there that can help.
20:03: I would tell her to choose life, to understand that God put the baby there for a reason.
20:08: And if he didn't want you to have it, he wouldn't have given it to you, he wouldn't have gave you that blessing.
20:15: I would tell her to choose life, keep your baby. There's so many support, you know, different support out here.
20:22: Like, there's so many different things you can do to reach out for help. She could be blessing someone else that can't have kids if she would want to give it up for adoption.
20:32: There's so many options instead of, you know, going with abortion. You know, anybody who loves you, that you love, if they can help, is there another way for you to go other than the abortion way?
20:45: I mean, there's lots of ways. I know God is always with us at all times. And if we talk to somebody and pray,
20:52: I believe they'll make the right decision. Even if you feel like you still do not want to keep your baby, give your baby up for adoption.
21:00: Don't abort your baby. I mean, you can go with adoption, or you can choose, like I did, raise your child with help of others.
21:10: I'm glad that I did choose life other than getting an abortion.
21:17: I love everything about my son. I love the people that he brought into our life. Like, he made me be a better woman, and they also helped me become a better woman.
21:39: Listen, listen, listen, because every second counts. Listen, because every second counts.
21:52: Who is guilty in an abortion? Well, we all know that the baby in the womb is the victim.
21:58: But so often, by so many, the woman is held up as the second victim in an abortion. So what does the
22:04: Bible say? Well, Romans 1 tells us that everyone knows God, but that truth is suppressed in unrighteousness.
22:13: And the consequence of that rejection is that the natural function of men and women's bodies is deconstructed in their rejection of God.
22:22: Romans 2 tells us very clearly that the work of God's law is written on the human heart, and that the conscience bears witness to that revelation.
22:30: What revelation? Well, the written revelation of God that includes the commandment not to murder.
22:37: Jesus himself tells us in Matthew chapter 15 that evil thoughts and murder are not things that come from the outside into a person, but they come from within the heart to the outside.
22:50: Abortion -minded women are self -deceived, doing what is foolish and reckless.
22:56: They're darkened in their hearts, and they have convinced themselves that this is a self -denying act of virtue.
23:04: Yes, women can be indoctrinated and even pressured to abort. But the bottom line is that anyone procuring an abortion or aiding someone else to is responsible.
23:15: They're accountable before God and before the authorities that he has established. This is why the gospel of grace and the justice of the law are both urgent.
23:25: The mother that deliberately chooses to commit this act against her own child is not a victim.
23:32: The only victim in the typical everyday abortion scenario is the baby in the womb itself.
23:38: Who is guilty in an abortion? The ones offering up their own children as a sacrifice so that all will be well with them.
23:53: From the very beginning, we have said that we look forward to the day where we never ask for any more to end abortion.
24:02: We look forward to the day where we close our doors on this ministry, where we rejoice, we wash our hands of this, and it's over.
24:10: And there's no more budget to satisfy. When we did this initially, we said to Christian churches, we want nothing from you.
24:17: We want to just equip you and train you and raise you up. We want to give everything away to you to save lives, to do this work.
24:24: And God blessed that. Again, since the beginning, tens of thousands of children have been saved through the work of EndAbortionNow .com,
24:31: through the churches we've raised up. When you give to EndAbortionNow .com, you actually also participate with us in our efforts to speak to legislators across the country, to speak to them, to challenge them, to encourage them to put these bills in.
24:45: You help us to actually get these bills put in across the country. So if you've given before,
24:52: I want to again thank you from the bottom of my heart. This wouldn't have happened without you, so thank you. You're a part of this ministry with us.
24:58: And when you give this next year, you are going to participate with us in raising up more churches to save lives, into speaking into the culture in the public square with the truth of the gospel, and you help us to establish justice in these states by getting legislators to put these bills in and getting a force of Christians, local churches and Christian organizations in that state to work to establish justice in that state through that bill and that legislation.
25:25: That's what you're giving towards. EndAbortionNow .com Ma 'am, can we help you, ma 'am?
25:43: We'll help you. We'll help you. What are you doing here?
25:57: I carry Narcan. Is that for people who are struggling with the opiate stuff out here?
26:03: He's got some Narcan in a can, so you can ask him. And he's also carrying Narcan because of us. Oh, no, no, that's good.
26:08: I'm actually saying it's a good thing. But I'm letting you know that there's more people than us here carrying Narcan. No, that's good. I'm saying it's a great thing.
26:14: Is there an opiate problem here? I wouldn't know. I just didn't know how bad.
26:24: It's bad in Arizona right now. I didn't know if it was really bad here. It's good to have it. But my question about that is you seem to care about other human beings suffering, so you carry
26:33: Narcan to take care of them and help them. Why do you care about other human beings that might be hurting? No answer, right?
26:39: There you go. No coherent answer. Because you guys are just murderers.
26:46: You don't care about other human beings. You're standing for their murder, right? You're carrying the I Carry Narcan badge, but why would you care about another suffering human being while you're standing out here to murder children today?
26:58: You can wear a microphone. What's that? You can wear a mic, but no shirt. So you can't answer the question
27:04: I asked you? You're going to try to change the subject? You're trying to change the subject? You can't answer it?
27:10: You can't answer the question? Why do you care about other human beings? No shirt. Why do you care about other human beings?
27:18: Oh, it's going to that? I didn't even notice the mic. So I Carry Narcan, you still haven't answered the question.
27:23: I Carry Narcan. Yeah. You guys need to repent of your sin.
27:29: Because you can't even live in a coherent way. I Carry Narcan, as though you care about other suffering human beings while you guide other human beings in here to be slaughtered, dismembered, disemboweled, correct?
27:41: No, I know your heart is hard, but I know that God and his word is powerful enough to save even the
27:49: Satanist, Communist, and the murderous woman. The complicated murderous woman who says,
27:55: I Carry Narcan, as though you care about other human beings, but you just don't. You don't.
28:01: You don't. Well, you're death -scouring all the babies into here, aren't you? Death -scouring is my favorite.
28:07: Aren't you? I know, I love the name. Well, that's what's happening. These babies are dying. They're dying, and you're guiding them in.
28:18: There's no coherent answer, is there, about the Narcan question. Why would you care about a hurting human suffering on the side of the road?
28:26: Why would you care about them when you're guiding babies into here? Why? If somebody's laying...
28:32: No, you said, you said, somebody on the side of the road. You said, you said, somebody on the side of the road.
28:39: Remember that? That was your words. So I said, side of the road. See that? Yeah, so notice that you guys can't respond to anything being said to you.
28:47: All you engage in is mockery. Scripture says you're a fool, because all you do is mock. You don't answer. You guys are scoffers.
28:54: You're not wise. You're fools. And those who hate me love death,
28:59: God says. And that's you. You hate God, so you love death. But you can't live in a coherent way, because you have an
29:06: I carry Narcan badge on, as though you care about other human beings. So you're trying to give your act of righteousness,
29:13: I care about suffering human beings, all the while you're murdering children. Right? It won't cover your sin.
29:20: That act of righteousness won't cover your sin. Only Christ, only Christ will cover your sin.
29:27: Oh, it's better than a Sunday sermon. It's a sermon just to you. It's just to you. Right now it's more important than a
29:33: Sunday sermon for them out there. This is for you. You need to turn from your sin. That badge, that act of righteousness, won't cover the unrighteousness and death that you engage in every day.
29:43: You'll face God. There is a day of judgment. And maybe today it's going to be your day, or five days from now, or five years from now.
29:51: But you're going to face Jesus Christ. He's going to answer you for every child you've murdered, and he'll name their names, because he knows their names.
30:01: Every one of them. Sure, I'll come over here. I don't want to interrupt them. I'll come over here. I just want to...
30:07: What did you say about a person doing slavery?
30:14: I'm talking about religion. Can I answer? No, I'm not finished with my question.
30:19: Okay, sorry about that. I apologize. We're not going to make subjects. Okay, so the one question, why do
30:24: I care about other people doing what they're doing? Am I done with the question? Okay, go ahead. Why are you mansplaining me? No, I heard the question.
30:31: You totally shut me down. I heard it. Feel free to finish it. Well, here's what you said.
30:37: Why do I care about what other people are doing? And what I refuted in that was that you wouldn't act that way about slavery.
30:46: No, you wouldn't act that way about slavery. If a person was enslaving a black person, would you go to the abolitionist?
30:54: That's what I'm answering. Would you go to the abolitionist and say, hey, why do you care about what the plantation owner is doing to the black man?
31:01: Would you say that to the plantation owner or to the abolitionist? Would you say, leave the plantation owner alone?
31:07: It's their body, their choice, their plantation, their choice. Would you say something to the person enslaving a black person?
31:13: I think you would because you've been influenced by the Christian worldview to see slavery as evil. We ended slavery, and you are riding on the coattails of Christianity.
31:23: We ended slavery. Christians did. Christians did. And it's because Christians see other image bearers of God as valuable and meaningful from the moment of fertilization.
31:39: No, you don't have an answer, ma 'am. You asked me a question, and you were refuted, and now you're walking away.
31:46: That's what really happened. Hey, how you doing? Good to see you, man. Good to see you. Same here.
31:51: You don't have any answers, so you walked away. So let's try and answer. Try to do slavery now.
31:58: I know. I was telling people, I was asking people, I was like, guys, is John in hospice? And they were like, don't tell me no.
32:04: Guys, is John about to die? I was actually in the south of France. You should go there sometime. What's that?
32:13: Was the radio show recorded in France? Yeah. That's so cool. They all went to France? Yeah. Do you guys know any
32:18: French? No. Do you guys know how to, like, go to abortion clinics in France and harass them there? Yeah, we're good harassers.
32:24: Je m 'appelle John, and I detest abortion. Is that what you do in France? We're good harassers.
32:33: That's all I know. I hope I said my name is John, because I don't know what je m 'appelle means. I'm not bilingual.
32:40: Well, just pray for me, brother. Father, please bless John as he speaks in Jesus' name. Pray for these women.
32:46: I pray that their hearts would be changed, their eyes would be opened. I pray, especially for these death squirts right now, that you would, Lord, cause them to see the evil that they're engaged in.
32:56: And I pray that you speak through John in Jesus' name. Amen. There's hope for you, too, in Christ.
33:03: Everybody's going to remember Chris Juan as a bully. Good morning, ladies! Good morning! Good morning,
33:08: John! My name is John. My name is Chris. I've been coming down here for 20 years now.
33:16: I've been here since February. I've been able to see
33:22: God do the most amazing things you could ever think of. I never saw God, but I've seen God. I mean, seriously, if you knew the folks out here that God has sent to help you.
33:35: Chris Juan! You would be shocked. You see, all these carnies want to do, all they care about is abortion.
33:48: Like, they've been out here trying to raise money. Oh, we actually raised our entire goal. We raised more than our goal, actually.
33:53: Speaking of the money that we raised. They come out here to raise money. And we do! And we raised $200 ,000!
34:00: To pay the fines of an abortion court. To pay their fines.
34:10: I mean, honestly. To pay their fines. Think about that.
34:17: I just wonder if they're going to move on now and pay the $40 million worth of women that got butchered here.
34:28: Raise the $40 million now. Or raise the $15 ,000 that they paid
34:37: Ashley Barrera to not file civil charges or criminal charges.
34:51: Ask them if they're going to do that. Sir, you need to be a man. It's no day for cowards.
34:59: It is. It is. Very Christian -like. Again, ladies, look these people up!
35:19: Look up Dr. James Pendergraft, a West. Ask them at the desk there how come he's not here today.
35:32: Look it up! How come the owner of this place is serving a seven -year prison sentence right now?
35:39: For manufacturing and sales of fentanyl. Should we start a bailout?
35:45: Why is that? You should check out our
35:51: TikTok. How come the owner of this place is serving a prison sentence right now?
35:58: For manufacturing and sales of fentanyl. Why is that?
36:17: Now they need to raise the $40 million of women they butchered ahead of you. We're waiting to see that happen.
36:28: Did you say something about us being white? Why did you assume my gender just now?
36:41: No answer. No answer. No answer. You don't have sleeves.
36:49: What kind of hypocrisy is that? That's the substance of your argument.
36:56: You love death. You love death and all you can talk about is what I'm wearing. I don't have sleeves and neither do you, so are you grotesque because you don't have sleeves?
37:04: See how it doesn't work? Your world, you can't even muster up a good complaint about a person. Your world, you can't even criticize a person properly.
37:12: No, that's actually an old picture of John the Baptist. It's a
37:17: John the Baptist. It's an old icon. But anyway, back to the slavery discussion. You were saying, why do
37:24: I care about what someone does to another human being? So, let me ask you to try to do slavery now.
37:29: Do slavery. You can't answer, can you? How about sex trafficking?
37:35: How about sex trafficking? What'd he say?
37:44: Yeah, he told me
37:50: I wasted 20 years of my mother -effing life last week. This cop?
37:59: Again, ladies, look these people up.
38:05: Look up Dr. Randall Whitney. There's a common thread here.
38:11: They're all criminals. They're all criminals.
38:19: Randall Whitney was drug out these doors in handcuffs. And arrested for battery on patients.
38:26: Look him up. Listen, listen.
38:38: Because every second counts. Listen, because every second counts.
38:49: Why do we do bills of equal protection? We do bills of equal protection as Christians because we want to be consistent.
38:56: Consistent with God's word. Consistent with human reason and logic.
39:02: Equal protection means that all human beings from the moment of conception. From the moment of conception are protected and given the same standards of justice.
39:11: Equal protection matters to God. In Proverbs 20, 23, God says that unequal weights and measures are an abomination in his sight.
39:19: Did you hear that? Unequal weights and measures are an abomination to God. God tells us throughout his word that he expects us to establish justice.
39:28: To protect the fatherless. To make sure that all image bearers of God are protected and given justice.
39:34: That really is the duty of the Christian church. To love our neighbors as we love ourselves. To treat everybody the same.
39:42: This is seen in history always when we think about the issue of slavery. Why was the
39:47: Jim Crow era and the issue of slavery such an abomination? It's an abomination because we had image bearers of God.
39:54: Human beings who were treated with such depravity, with such evil, with such injustice.
39:59: We recognize the evil of saying, yeah, I know he looks like a person, but it's not a person. It's a black man.
40:05: We all see the evil in that. Equal justice matters to God. We can't say, yeah, you can kill these humans, but not these humans.
40:14: Christians, God commands us to hate unequal weights and measures. And that is why we must have equal protection for all humans from conception.
40:29: It's time to end the compromise. It's time to end the inconsistencies.
40:35: It's time to actually stand on what the word of God says under the authority of Jesus Christ. To be consistent for the sake of these children.
40:43: To actually do what we say we want to do. To actually look like we believe what we say about the pre -born.
40:50: 2024 is going to be our most important year yet. It's a critical year in our nation on a number of levels.
40:59: 18 prospective states next session. Churches being raised up to save lives where they're being taken.
41:05: You can be a part of this ministry, this work of the Christian church to end child sacrifice.
41:12: You can be a part of it. Go to enddivortionnow .com to sign up, to get your church signed up, save lives with us.
41:18: Go to enddivortionnow .com to sign the statement for equal protection. And also go to enddivortionnow .com
41:25: and please give financially to this Christian ministry that is standing on the authority of God's word with the gospel in front of us to end child sacrifice.
41:36: Thank you. You're going through the door of death.
41:50: This is the door of death, man. This is the door of death. Come to life.
41:55: We can take you to a place that will show life in your life, not death.
42:01: This will show death in your life, man. The Bible says, have mercy on this baby and have mercy on your soul.
42:18: Hey, ma 'am. You want a water? Can we talk? Can we talk? Yeah? We can talk?
42:25: All right. I appreciate that. This is my wife. So you have an option.
42:31: You can talk to a male or a female or both? Both. Both? What would bring you to this place, ma 'am?
42:37: Because I got a four -month -old baby and right now I just can't deal with another one. So it's based on your circumstance, right?
42:44: Basically. Okay. So you have one baby? It's hard enough as it is, man. Yeah. Well, I understand that.
42:50: We're not saying that raising kids is puppies and pancakes. It's definitely a responsibility. But the child is here and presented as a gift to you.
42:58: I just don't think you have the eyes to see it that way. You see your other child as a gift, right? What's that child's name?
43:05: Liam. It's already hard enough. I know it's hard, ma 'am. But you know what? We love you and we care about you and we want to walk through this with you.
43:13: The baby's here. The baby's here and doing this is like, it's unnatural.
43:19: In this world it says go ahead and do it, but you know it's wrong. So we want to scoop you up and point you to right because think about this.
43:28: We live in God's world, right? We live in God's world. So He makes the rules. And He says that all children are a gift.
43:35: And He gives them. And some of these gifts test our hearts. Yes, they will. He's showing you what's inside you right now, what you're capable of.
43:42: Now His answer is to trust Him, to repent, turn away. Repentance is a Christianese word, right?
43:48: But what it means is it's going to have a result of you turning away from doing darkness and turning to God who is light.
43:55: So we want to swoop you up and point you and care for you. I'm speaking about your family today.
44:03: The one that's outside of the womb. You say you have needs. We all have needs. And I'm not to make anything light of that.
44:09: Today, usually there's only a few ministers out here, me and my brother. Right now we have a national organization here that's fully funded by churches, man.
44:19: And we want to save your child. We want you to unwrap that gift that God has given you, right?
44:27: And I guarantee you I've never spoken to a woman who's changed her mind. And many have who have regretted changing their mind.
44:35: In fact, one of them comes out Saturday and she serves with her baby in her hand. And she made three attempts here on that child's life.
44:43: But God each time arrested her, arrested her desire to murder her baby.
44:48: That's what it is, right? You know what it is. And we're not going to play games with you. We want to help you to see that and trust in Him.
44:56: You have a soft heart right now. But I want you to have a soft heart for God. God is a rich provider.
45:02: He provides through His people. He provides through strangers. He'll move people's hearts to come alongside Him. What seems impossible,
45:09: God will make a way and He'll make it so that you know that it's from Him. So your heart and mine are being tested.
45:15: And I know that this is hard because you're being tempted by the world. See, the issue here, what's your name? Shaniqua.
45:21: Shaniqua? That's pretty. The issue here is not what's in your wallet or how many apartment rooms you have.
45:28: It's what's in your heart. And God's got to deal with you first. The center, the main issue is your heart.
45:35: Heal that heart. Make you be born again. And then you'll have affections to do what is right. And when you're in that circle of obedience, you'll see
45:42: God. He'll open your eyes. Oh, God provided for me. God provided me. It doesn't come all at once, but when
45:50: I came to Christ, it came pretty frequently. Being obedient to God is an outward expression of what you believe.
45:58: I believe God can save you. I believe that God can make things right. I believe that God is a faithful God who is faithful in His promises.
46:06: And I'm here just to bear light to that. And to swoop Shaniqua off and say,
46:12: Hey, come away from the devil's house because he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Lock you into guilt and shame.
46:17: Leave you there. He's not for you. He's against you. But God, He's the one who provides for us ultimately.
46:25: Trust in Him. Turn away today. Listen, listen.
46:44: Because every second counts. Listen, because every second counts.
46:55: Why do we go to the abortion mills? We go because the greatest commandment is to love the
47:00: Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind, with all of your strength. And the second is like unto it, to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
47:10: And so fundamentally, we go to the abortion mills because this is about the gospel. The Bible says in Romans chapter 10,
47:17: How will they believe in the one whom they've never heard? And how will they hear unless someone is sent to actually preach the good news to them?
47:26: Proverbs tells us in chapter 24, verse 11, To rescue those who are being taken away to death, to hold back those who are stumbling towards the slaughter.
47:35: And behold, if you say you did not know this, does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? God knows.
47:41: He commands us to open our mouths for those who cannot speak for themselves. He says to defend the rights of the poor and the needy, and to establish justice for the fatherless.
47:54: God's word also says that true religion is found in this, that we care for the orphan and for the widow.
48:01: The orphan in this situation is the abandoned child being led away to death. Proverbs 31 also tells us that we are to open our mouths for those who cannot speak for themselves, and to defend the rights of the poor and the needy.
48:17: This is our calling. And so why do we go to the abortion mills? Because the gospel alone is the power of God for salvation.
48:29: Hi everybody, I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin, the head of End Abortion Now. I want to start this by, from the bottom of my heart, thanking all of you who have been a part of this ministry with us since the very beginning.
48:40: When we started End Abortion Now, we wanted to save lives. And when we started that work, God blessed it.
48:46: And we have been able to raise up about a thousand churches across the U .S. and really around the world, the
48:52: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland. Everything was given away for free to these churches.
48:59: Nothing was asked of them. We've equipped them, we've raised them up, and now they're saving lives.
49:04: God's blessed that work. God also blessed us, as many of you know, in the area of having a prophetic witness, a voice to legislators across the country.
49:13: And over the years, through your partnership with us, we've been able to get bills of equal protection and abolition into states across the
49:23: United States of America. This next session, we have prospectively commitments from legislators in 18 states across the
49:32: United States of America. That's 18 states that are going to be putting in bills of equal protection and abolition of abortion.
49:40: It's incredible. It's overwhelming. It's a huge gift. And what we need this next year, 2024, is we need your prayers.
49:49: We need your partnership. We need you to go to endabortionnow .com. Sign the statement of equal protection.
49:55: Get connected. Get your church involved. We want to help you. We also need you to partner with us financially.
50:01: 2024 actually presents incredible opportunities for us as a ministry. Not only do we have all of these states that we have bills of equal protection set to go into, but now we have the past history of going and sitting before legislators, sitting in state legislatures, and actually working for these bills of abolition.
50:22: The tide is changing. It is truly changing. And with what just took place in Ohio with the ballot measure, it has emboldened many, many
50:31: Christians to take a stand once and for all for what is right before God and take a stand for justice for the pre -born children.
50:38: Next year, 2024, is going to be our most important and our busiest year we've had yet.
50:45: And so I want to ask you, as a brother, as a friend, as a ministry partner, to partner with us again in 2024.
50:52: Help us to meet our budget goals so that we can accomplish all that God has given to us to establish justice for these fatherless children and to once and for all end child sacrifice.
51:04: Please partner with us. Go to endabortionnow .com to give, pray, and to sign up.
51:28: I am very, very lucky. They slept great through the night, great through the day, well eaters.
51:36: I have no complaints. He loves to be cuddled and held, barely ever cries.
51:43: I feel like I was blessed, and because I made a really positive and good decision,
51:51: God blessed me with a really good baby. My name is
51:58: Devine, and then this little guy right here is Oliver, and he is seven months old.
52:10: Initially, what took me out to the abortion clinic was with my last pregnancy, I was diagnosed with hypermesis gravidarum, and that is just like excessive throwing up and being really, really, really sick while you're pregnant.
52:22: And it put me out of work, and we were already struggling and trying to recover with our finances. So it was really probably money issues,
52:31: I would say. What I remember when I pulled in that day was there were a whole bunch of people standing at the road protesting, and I felt very overwhelmed and uncomfortable because I did already have a daughter, and I also was adopted, so I knew every option and other road that I could possibly take on.
52:55: And when I saw them, I also felt like a sense of relief when
53:00: I got there, too. That day, I was experiencing a lot of over -emotions, and I was overwhelmed, stressed, and I just didn't really know which way to turn.
53:15: Probably also a little numb, I want to say, just because I didn't fully believe in that decision having an abortion, so I was conflicted.
53:28: And when I went there that day, I already knew that I didn't really want to go through with having the abortion.
53:35: And so when I got out of my car, I did go into the office, but they told me that you needed to do walk -in appointments only.
53:43: And when I got there, they told me you needed to call and make an appointment. So they actually had no walk -ins available, and it was about an hour drive from my house, so I would have to go home and find another way to come back.
53:56: So it felt, in a way, like it wasn't something that I was supposed to do. And then as I was pulling away, they came up to my car window because there was a lot of traffic and asked me to roll my window down, and I did.
54:09: And then we had a nice conversation about why I felt the way I did about having an abortion and where in life and what it was
54:18: I was struggling with. They ended up giving me money that day on the spot for groceries because we were short on rent and stuff because I was already getting sick and I was only like eight weeks pregnant.
54:31: And they helped me out that week with groceries, and then they also gave me their phone number and told me that I should call them and get in touch with them.
54:40: And so it was more me being adopted and just talking about the other routes that I could take that really led me to be like, hey, someone else saved me and showed me a route of love that I know no matter the struggle, and mine was only with money, that I could still keep my son.
55:02: It's hard to imagine if the church wasn't there that day because I don't know what the outcome would have actually been.
55:13: I don't know if I would have gone through it with how bad we were struggling. But ultimately,
55:19: I would have come to the decision, I think, that I would have kept him anyway. But the way my life is going right now with work and family and still living in this state and having full custody of my kids turned out beneficial because if it would have went any other way, he wouldn't be here or I wouldn't be blessed with the job opportunities and everything that has come my way since I was able to keep him.
55:44: I could not honestly imagine life without Oliver. He is perfect.
55:50: He resembles a lot of his sister. They both took on the date the 12th of the year, so he didn't want her to be the only star in my life.
56:03: And then he copied her with the helmet. He's moving and growing so much.
56:11: And then I get to see him and work with him every single day, so I couldn't imagine life any other way. He is actually the first boy in my family on my side from my grandparents.
56:22: So my dad is thrilled. He now has a fishing buddy. And everybody else just loves him because everybody's squishy.
56:34: What I would say to a mom who is leaning towards getting an abortion is to personally wait and to look into resources in your community, in your churches, that can offer you some help no matter what the issue is, whether it's not being with the father anymore, being young, that you have to tell your parents or your grandparents or your guardian, whether in and out of trouble, alcohol issues, whatever it is, your kids love you from the moment they are made inside of you.
57:19: And you can feel that love before you even take a test. And everything through them is brand new.
57:27: And it just reminds you of all the little things in life, whether you didn't have a family growing up, your parents weren't around,
57:37: I was adopted growing up, my birth parents were in and out of jail. But there's nothing more empowering than overcoming your struggles and making a change.
57:50: And we can't make a change without actually stopping the wrongs and doing what's right.
58:01: And what's right is saving lives and making a positive, impactful change amongst them and yourselves.
58:26: Listen, listen, listen, because every second counts. Listen, because every second counts.
58:39: Why should the church speak prophetically to the state? Elected officials often tell Christians not to bring the
58:45: Bible into the public square, and in particular, apply it to this issue in abortion. But God created church and state to function together.
58:55: Romans 13 tells us that civil government is God's servant, charged with bearing the sword of justice against those who do evil.
59:03: One of the primary places that God says his people are to speak his word is before civil government.
59:10: Psalm 119 tells us that I will speak of your testimonies before kings and will not be put to shame.
59:17: This is our calling. Jesus has freed us from our sins by his blood. He has made us into a kingdom of priests.
59:25: He is the ruler of kings on earth, the king of kings and the Lord of lords, the one who's been given all authority, who has sent us to our magistrates to tell them to obey him.
59:37: Why should the church speak prophetically to the state? Because government must obey God. Many of you,
59:48: I'm sure, are aware of what took place in the state of Ohio just recently. A ballot measure was put in that essentially legalized child sacrifice and the slaughter of the pre -born all the way up until birth.
01:00:00: It is truly a horrific thing to imagine. And it passed.
01:00:06: It passed by popular vote. And so you see that the opposition, they are working consistently with their worldview.
01:00:15: They are working without compromise. They are working with boldness in their position. It's time for the
01:00:21: Christians in this nation to stand against this evil with the light of the gospel, the uncompromising truth of God's word.
01:00:31: It's time for us to stand boldly in the public square and to stop the compromise. It's time to tell the truth.
01:00:38: It's time to stand and be ready to lay our lives down for the sake of these children. In 2024, we need you.
01:00:45: God's blessed this ministry, this work beyond what we imagined. And he's done it with your help.
01:00:53: All of these years, it's been Christians just like you that made all of this possible. And so I want to ask you to join together with us as we take a stand without compromise, consistently, demanding justice for these pre -born children, demanding that the slaughter ends once and for all legally.
01:01:12: Help us to establish equal protection for all humans from fertilization across this nation.
01:01:18: Join us in 2024. Go to endabortionnow .com to give. When you look at our nation, we have so many sins, so many things that we have taken from God's kindness, his kind hand in blessing us, and we've turned them into platforms to rebel against him.
01:01:48: And you cannot look beyond abortion. It is the high crime in our nation against a holy
01:01:56: God. I mean, you think about Abel's blood crying out to God when he was slain by his wicked brother.
01:02:03: Then what must it be like for over 60 million babies whose blood has been shed in this nation?
01:02:11: What must the cacophony sound like in heaven to the holy God? And either we believe that or we don't.
01:02:18: And if we believe that, then we ought to be people who are broken and grieved and who are looking at all the problems in the nation and all the pundits are talking about, well, we need better economic theory or we need better oil industry procedures or we need this or that.
01:02:34: And yeah, they might have a voice. But those of us who know God ought to be saying, you know what? We have sinned against the
01:02:40: God of creation. We've sinned against the God who made people to be his image bearers in this world.
01:02:45: And we have been assaulting his image bearers for 49 years legally in this nation.
01:02:51: You think God doesn't care? We've become so accustomed to it. And there's a generation now that has not lived a day without the murder of innocent babies being legal in this country.
01:03:03: You think that plays well in heaven? Then you don't know God. You don't know God. And we've got to come back to the fact that there is a
01:03:10: God in heaven. He hates murder. Murder is prohibited in his commandments.
01:03:16: And we have sat by and we have let legalized murder of innocent children go on for 49 years.
01:03:25: We ought to be weeping. We ought to be praying. We ought to be using every avenue that he's given to us legitimately to call this nation to account, to call
01:03:35: God's people to wake up and recognize what is going on. I mean, can you imagine if we slayed a million six -year -olds or a million teenagers every year in this nation?
01:03:47: I think we still have the moral capacity to feel like that would be wrong and wicked.
01:03:53: Well, we're talking about unborn teenagers. We're talking about those who have just as much life, just as much personhood, just as much of the image of God in them from conception and fertilization as those who are 10, 12, 15 years old.
01:04:08: And the Church of Jesus Christ needs to wake up and face this and recognize that we have been too lackadaisical too long and that we must speak firmly, boldly on what
01:04:17: God's Word says about the slaughter of these unborn innocents. Well, the only people who need grace and forgiveness are those who are guilty.
01:04:28: And if a person convinces a woman who has volitionally, freely aborted her child that she's not guilty, she doesn't need
01:04:37: Jesus for that. And it's so incongruous to hear those who think they are being compassionate to women, toward women, who say, oh no, we don't want them to feel guilty.
01:04:47: They're victims. They're not culpable for the death of their children. They think that they're showing them mercy when in reality what they are doing is they are putting a roadblock to the only pathway of mercy and grace that is afforded to them, which is the blood of Jesus Christ.
01:05:04: He shed His blood for sinners. So if this is not sin, then you can't set before this woman the way of Christ, which is the way of grace to be reconciled to God by repentance and faith.
01:05:16: She doesn't have anything to repent of. So while it sounds compassionate, it is horrifically cruel.
01:05:23: They are actually further abusing women. Now, certainly women have been deceived.
01:05:29: Certainly our culture has suggested now for decades that this is okay. This is morally equivalent, and it's your body, your choice.
01:05:37: Those are all lies. But believing lies doesn't mean that you're not culpable for the things you do because you're believing lies.
01:05:46: And there are all kinds of levels of culpability. And our homicide laws recognize that, as does the
01:05:53: Bible on which they are based. So if I rob a bank with four guys, and I plan it out, and another one drives the car, and another one is a watch out, and the other one takes a gun in the bank and gets the money, we're all culpable.
01:06:06: But before the law, we're going to be treated differently, and there's going to be different consequences because of the level of culpability.
01:06:14: Those laws are already on the books. And the 14th Amendment in our Constitution acknowledges that every person has the right to be treated equally under the law.
01:06:25: And that's all we're saying is the unborn child deserves that. And so for women, I had a conversation last night with a man who just said,
01:06:32: Man, I can't vote for you because of your view of abortion because I just think no woman would come to my church if we take a stand saying that women who engage in abortion, who have abortions, are responsible in any way.
01:06:45: So we cut off opportunity to witness to them. And I pled with him, and I was unsuccessful in trying to persuade him that,
01:06:52: No, the only hope a woman like that has is, Hey, we have a God and a Savior who saves murderers.
01:06:59: He saves the Apostle Paul. And if you cover that up and say, Well, I don't want to call that murder because that makes me feel too bad, then you're saying,
01:07:08: I don't need a Savior for that. I figured out another way to go forward in my life with this thing that I have done.
01:07:15: We need to take what God says seriously. And I think it goes back to the fact that we have lost any conception of the law of God.
01:07:23: We talk about the gospel, rightly so. We say the gospel above all, rightly so.
01:07:29: But the God who gave us the gospel also gave us the law. And He loves His law as much as His gospel.
01:07:35: And the very foundation of the gospel is the law of God.
01:07:41: I mean, the foundation of Mount Calvary is Mount Sinai. And if we don't see that, then we're just going to make up sins or pretend like,
01:07:49: Oh, well, yes, you need Jesus' forgiveness for this, but not that. God defines what sin. You shall not murder.
01:07:58: And that's true from the moment of conception till the natural ending of life for a person.
01:08:05: From the very beginning, we have said that we look forward to the day where we never ask for any more to end abortion.
01:08:15: We look forward to the day where we close our doors on this ministry, where we rejoice, we wash our hands of this, and it's over.
01:08:22: And there's no more budget to satisfy. When we did this initially, we said to Christian churches,
01:08:28: We want nothing from you. We want to just equip you and train you and raise you up. We want to give everything away to you to save lives, to do this work.
01:08:37: And God blessed that. Again, since the beginning, tens of thousands of children have been saved through the work of EndAbortionNow .com,
01:08:43: through the churches we've raised up. When you give to EndAbortionNow .com, you actually also participate with us in our efforts to speak to legislators across the country, to speak to them, to challenge them, to encourage them to put these bills in.
01:08:58: You help us to actually get these bills put in across the country. So if you've given before,
01:09:04: I want to again thank you from the bottom of my heart. This wouldn't have happened without you. So thank you. You're a part of this ministry with us.
01:09:10: And when you give this next year, you are going to participate with us in raising up more churches to save lives, into speaking into the culture in the public square with the truth of the gospel, and you help us to establish justice in these states by getting legislators to put these bills in and getting a force of Christians, local churches and Christian organizations in that state to work to establish justice in that state through that bill and that legislation.
01:09:38: That's what you're giving towards. Please help us, EndAbortionNow .com. My name is
01:09:48: Scott Hoard, and I am a missionary for the preborn babies of our nation. Five and a half years ago,
01:10:21: I was asked a question from an African American friend, what are you going to do about racism as a pastor?
01:10:29: And I thought, I told him myself, just share the gospel. And he said, that's not enough.
01:10:35: And I was kind of perplexed by the question, angered by the question. Gave it to God. And I said,
01:10:41: God, would you take this anger away and give me something in return? And he said, engage abortion. And so that's where it started, but I had no idea about the connection it had to racism.
01:10:52: So the reason I did it is because God brought it to me. He said it upon my heart. My heart was pricked by EndAbortionNow.
01:11:00: Even before it was called EndAbortionNow, y 'all were, Apology of Church was rescuing babies.
01:11:06: And that was a spark. I think another thing that sparked it was I was at a T4G conference.
01:11:14: Together for the gospel conference, there was about 9 ,000 pastors worshiping together in Louisville at a big arena.
01:11:20: We broke for lunch that day, and 9 ,000 pastors were walking through Louisville together.
01:11:26: And I thought, wow, what an impact that this should make upon this city. And as I was in the middle of those 9 ,000 men,
01:11:33: I looked over to the left, and there was a woman praying by herself outside of a building. And I was curious.
01:11:40: And so I walked over to her and said, hey, why are you praying? She said, this is an abortion facility, and I'm praying to end abortion.
01:11:48: And I watched 9 ,000 men walk by and not notice. And it really hit me that day.
01:11:54: I was like, wow, that's our nation. That's the state of the church today, that pastors, the church isn't responding to it.
01:12:01: But that one woman was being faithful. When I first started rescuing babies, I didn't really tell anybody what
01:12:07: I was doing. And I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't even know if I could have an impact. I didn't know that Tina that day would choose life.
01:12:15: And I thought, well, this is great, but what do we do now? She has needs. I realized my wallet wasn't big enough to meet all these ladies' needs.
01:12:23: And so I had to present it to my church. And the church received it pretty well, a little shocked at first.
01:12:30: But then we realized that the church's budget wasn't big enough to meet all the needs of the rescues that we were getting.
01:12:38: And so it went from one rescue to 10 rescue to 100 rescues. And so we realized, hey, we need to organize.
01:12:45: This is a big church thing that needs to be addressed. And so we organized
01:12:50: Operation Saving Life. And I got some faithful people together that had been standing with me that had passion for this great injustice.
01:13:01: And we organized, and we organized Operation Saving Life. You just have to jump into it. I think
01:13:08: I would advise everybody to come to Planned Parenthood and stand with us. You know, there's a lot of times you think, oh, we have to have a pre -meeting.
01:13:15: We need to meet over here and talk about it. You can do that, but the reality of it is you just need to come down here and observe and pray and just immerse yourself into it.
01:13:25: And I would say come down for a month or two and just watch and observe and understand the rhythm of what happens here.
01:13:33: There's a rhythm. There's things that happen here consistently, and understand those things. Understand how to engage.
01:13:39: Listen to the conversations. Understand what you need to hear, see, and how you need to respond to the various situations.
01:13:45: Ben, you know, a lot of Christians are fearful to come here. At some point as a Christian, you just have to face the fear.
01:13:52: The fear is not going to go away. You just have to face it. And once you face it, it will eventually subside.
01:13:58: It might not go all the way away, but it will subside. And as Christians, we're called to do it.
01:14:03: And so I would just encourage Christians to come down. You're equipped. You often think, I don't have enough.
01:14:10: If you know the gospel, if you have hope in Jesus, you are equipped to be here and your voice matters.
01:14:17: I mean, we can rely on science down here, and science shows us that it's a child.
01:14:23: You can talk about the racist aspect, the component of this, and how it was founded upon racism, but the gospel is the most powerful thing down here.
01:14:32: And most of the people that are walking in there just don't have hope. They don't have hope.
01:14:37: And we're in the Bible belt where everybody knows something about Jesus, has heard something about the gospel, but nine out of ten people can't convincingly, compellingly tell you what the gospel is and what it means to them.
01:14:50: They can't tell you anything about what the cross means and the significance of the cross. And when you bring the gospel down here, it's amazing.
01:14:58: To people that are even in churches, it's amazing to see the light go off. And so the gospel is the answer to darkness, and that light has to penetrate darkness.
01:15:10: It has to. I think three things that every person has to carry down here is humility, love, truth, uncompromised truth.
01:15:22: We try to engage people with love and truth guided by the Holy Spirit, and we're trying to get them to come to us.
01:15:29: And so it's really relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. And you're looking for the Holy Spirit to show you that one little thing that you see that you can speak to.
01:15:39: A lady drove in a couple weeks ago, and as she was driving in, she was in the back of an
01:15:46: Uber, and as she drove by me, the Uber driver drove by me, she lifted her hands up, and she was acting like she was reaching for what
01:15:54: I had in my hand, like she wanted it, but the Uber driver didn't drive. I knew that he was going to drive up to that door.
01:16:00: I knew I had five seconds, ten seconds to speak to her. Right when she got out, I spoke very poignant to her.
01:16:08: I said, Ma 'am, come get what you want. Come get this. And she came over to me, and it led to a rescue.
01:16:15: That was the Holy Spirit showing me just a simple thing in her that I knew that I could command her to come to me, and she would come to me.
01:16:23: And so humility is big. You have to look at the plank in your eye before you take the speck out of somebody else's eye.
01:16:28: You have to come down here in love, but also you've got to know that not everybody needs a hug. And so you have to bring with that love truth, uncompromised truth, and you blend all that together, and it just seems to work.
01:16:41: I had one where a young man, young lady pulled in front of me, and they were sitting in their car, and I was talking to them.
01:16:52: They had cracked the window, and I knew if the window's down, I could present the gospel or hear the gospel.
01:16:58: I began to present the gospel. The guy, the boyfriend was on the passenger side. He got out of the car, and he was a pretty intense guy, strong guy, tall guy, and he just looked at me, no emotion.
01:17:11: I was sitting there thinking, Man, if he comes after me, I'm done. So we kind of looked at each other, and I told him, I said,
01:17:16: Hey, I'm not here to shame. I'm here to love you, and I want you to have truth. So he just kind of looked at me, went back down into the car, sat back down, and the window was still cracked, and I just began to continue to give them the gospel.
01:17:32: And I quoted Psalm 139. I said, That child is formed in the womb. He's intricately wove together by the
01:17:39: Lord. And there was a commotion in the car, and the car began to shake. I didn't know what was going on.
01:17:44: I thought they were in an argument, and all of a sudden, the guy gets back out of the car again, and he looks at me, and I thought,
01:17:50: Oh, this is it. He's going to come after me or something, and he begins to walk to me with no emotion, and he walks up, and he gets right up to me, and he opens his arms, and he grabs me, and he hugs me.
01:18:03: And he begins to cry. I began to cry, and he said, Hey, when you quoted, whatever it is you quoted, that scripture, he said,
01:18:10: We had never felt the baby move. But when you quoted whatever you quoted, the baby began to leap in her stomach, and it drew out so much emotion, we started crying, and we knew we didn't have to kill the baby.
01:18:21: At that moment, the mom got out of the car and brought the gospel to us, and brought the gospel to us.
01:18:27: It was such a movement of the Holy Spirit. We all started crying. We're in a circle, and she proclaimed the gospel back to us, and that child lives today.
01:18:35: She's investigating whether or not she should have the abortion. What would you tell her?
01:18:41: I would tell her she is made in the image of God. She is made to love, to nurture, to protect, to live sacrificially for that child.
01:18:52: And if she is a mother, if she's pregnant right now, you are the mother of a child, and God designed you to be a mother of a living child.
01:19:01: If you kill that child, you're still going to be a mother, but you're going to be the mother of a dead child, and you don't want to live under the pain and the oppression of abortion.
01:19:11: That pain is real. It is relentless, and it doesn't go away. It doesn't go away. God's mercy is there.
01:19:17: His grace is there, and it's always there. But the pain of abortion is always there as well, and you don't want to step into that.
01:19:25: God created you. He gave you choice. Choice is awesome. We're for choice. But that choice either proves a love for God or a love for evil.
01:19:34: So choose life. Let that baby live, and the Lord will bless you. It's time to end the compromise.
01:19:43: It's time to end the inconsistencies. It's time to actually stand on what the Word of God says under the authority of Jesus Christ, to be consistent for the sake of these children, to actually do what we say we want to do, to actually look like we believe what we say about the preborn.
01:20:02: 2024 is going to be our most important year yet. It's a critical year in our nation on a number of levels.
01:20:10: Eighteen prospective states next session. Churches being raised up to save lives where they're being taken.
01:20:17: You can be a part of this ministry, this work of the Christian church to end child sacrifice.
01:20:23: You can be a part of it. Go to ENDDIVORTIONNOW .COM to sign up, to get your church signed up, save lives with us.
01:20:30: Go to ENDDIVORTIONNOW .COM to sign the statement for equal protection, and also go to ENDDIVORTIONNOW .COM
01:20:36: and please give financially to this Christian ministry that is standing on the authority of God's Word with the gospel in front of us to end child sacrifice.
01:20:47: Thank you. No amount of redefinition or playing with language will change what we all know to be true about the humanity of children in the womb.
01:20:59: What we do not know is if there are any men and women on this council with the courage and conviction to do what is right before their creator.
01:21:18: Hello, my name is Zachary Conover and I speak in opposition to the resolution today. I come before you today as an ambassador of the king before whom all earthly rulers will give an account.
01:21:31: I'm here to remind you of your duty to protect life and punish those that would seek to do violence to the innocent.
01:21:38: Having spoken here before several times, I recall being told that matters pertaining to the issue of abortion were outside the purview of the city council, but Roe v.
01:21:48: Wade is gone now and so is that excuse. Friends, here we are today with a resolution before us calling on you to defy the
01:21:56: Supreme Court and ignore current state law that criminalizes fetal homicide. You are being asked to formally adopt a position that allows the lawless to be unaccountable to justice in the name of exercising their rights.
01:22:10: But everyone in this room knows that the right to kill a human being in the womb is as fictitious as the terms pregnant person and reproductive health care.
01:22:22: No amount of redefinition or playing with language will change what we all know to be true about the humanity of children in the womb.
01:22:29: What we do not know is if there are any men and women on this council with the courage and conviction to do what is right before their creator.
01:22:37: Your God -given office carries the responsibility of promoting a God -given order of society. Lawfulness demands the restraint of hands set on shedding innocent blood and making it the highest priority, not the lowest.
01:22:51: Supporting this resolution would force you to violate your oaths and become unfaithful, and I promise you,
01:22:58: I do not want that for you today. Those who wish for this resolution to be adopted do not believe in the rule of law.
01:23:04: They believe in using legality for the legal destruction of law and order. It's for this reason
01:23:09: I implore you today to be wise and obey the Lord Jesus Christ. His innocent blood shed for sinners is the only thing that builds cities and brings peace.
01:23:17: The blood of unborn babies can only bring calamity on a people. I'm praying for you today that God would turn your hearts and that you would not deprioritize the protection of the most innocent and defenseless.
01:23:28: Thank you so much for your time. Hi, everybody,
01:23:38: I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin, the head of End Abortion Now. I want to start this by, from the bottom of my heart, thanking all of you who have been a part of this ministry with us since the very beginning.
01:23:48: When we started End Abortion Now, we wanted to save lives, and when we started that work, God blessed it, and we have been able to raise up about 1 ,000 churches across the
01:23:58: U .S. and really around the world, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland.
01:24:04: Everything was given away for free to these churches. Nothing was asked of them. We've equipped them.
01:24:10: We've raised them up, and now they're saving lives. God's blessed that work. God also blessed us, as many of you know, in the area of having a prophetic witness, a voice to legislators across the country, and over the years, through your partnership with us, we've been able to get bills of equal protection and abolition into states across the
01:24:31: United States of America. This next session, we have prospectively commitments from legislators in 18 states across the
01:24:41: United States of America. That's 18 states that are gonna be putting in bills of equal protection and abolition of abortion.
01:24:48: It's incredible. It's overwhelming. It's a huge gift, and what we need this next year, 2024, is we need your prayers.
01:24:57: We need your partnership. We need you to go to endabortionnow .com. Sign the statement of equal protection.
01:25:03: Get connected. Get your church involved. We wanna help you. We also need you to partner with us financially.
01:25:10: 2024 actually presents incredible opportunities for us as a ministry. Not only do we have all of these states that we have bills of equal protection set to go into, but now we have the past history of going and sitting before legislators, sitting in state legislatures, and actually working for these bills of abolition.
01:25:30: The tide is changing. It is truly changing, and with what just took place in Ohio with the ballot measure, it has emboldened many, many
01:25:39: Christians to take a stand once and for all for what is right before God and take a stand for justice for the pre -born children.
01:25:47: Next year, 2024, is going to be our most important and our busiest year we've had yet, and so I wanna ask you as a brother, as a friend, as a ministry partner to partner with us again in 2024.
01:26:00: Help us to meet our budget goals so that we can accomplish all that God has given to us to establish justice for these fatherless children and to once and for all end child sacrifice.
01:26:12: Please partner with us. Go to endabortionnow .com to give, pray, and to sign up.
01:26:36: I am very, very lucky. They slept great through the night, great through the day, well eaters.
01:26:45: I have no complaints. He loves to be cuddled and held, barely ever cries.
01:26:52: I feel like I was blessed, and because I made a really positive and good decision, that God blessed me with a really good baby.
01:27:05: My name is Devine, and then this little guy right here is Oliver, and he is 7 months old.
01:27:18: Initially, what took me out to the abortion clinic was with my last pregnancy, I was diagnosed with hypermesis gravidarum, and that is just like excessive throwing up and being really, really, really sick while you're pregnant, and it put me out of work, and we were already struggling and trying to recover with our finances, so it was really probably money issues,
01:27:39: I would say. What I remember when I pulled in that day was there were a whole bunch of people standing at the road protesting, and I felt very overwhelmed and uncomfortable because I did already have a daughter, and I also was adopted, so I knew every option and other road that I could possibly take on, and when
01:28:05: I saw them, I also felt like a sense of relief when I got there too. That day,
01:28:10: I was experiencing a lot of over -emotions, and I was overwhelmed, stressed, and I just didn't really know which way to turn.
01:28:24: Probably also a little numb, I want to say, just because I didn't fully believe in that decision, having an abortion, so I was conflicted.
01:28:36: And when I went there that day, I already knew that I didn't really want to go through with having the abortion, and so when
01:28:44: I got out of my car, I did go into the office, but they told me that you needed to do walk -in appointments only, and when
01:28:52: I got there, they told me you needed to call and make an appointment, so they actually had no walk -ins available, and it was about an hour drive from my house, so I would have to go home and find another way to come back.
01:29:04: So it felt, in a way, like it wasn't something that I was supposed to do, and then as I was pulling away, they came up to my car window because there was a lot of traffic, and asked me to mow my window down, and I did, and then we had a nice conversation about why
01:29:21: I felt the way I did about having an abortion and where in life and what it was
01:29:26: I was struggling with. They ended up giving me money that day on the spot for groceries, because we were short on rent and stuff because I was already getting sick, and I was only like eight weeks pregnant.
01:29:39: And they helped me out that week with groceries, and then they also gave me their phone number and told me that I should call them and get in touch with them, and so it was more me being adopted and just talking about the other routes that I could take that really led me to be like, hey, someone else saved me and showed me a route of love that I know no matter the struggle, and mine was only with money, that I could still keep my son.
01:30:10: It's hard to imagine if the church wasn't there that day because I don't know what the outcome would have actually been.
01:30:21: I don't know if I would have gone through it with how bad we were struggling, but ultimately
01:30:27: I would have come to the decision, I think, that I would have kept him anyway, but the way my life is going right now with work and family and still living in this state and having full custody of my kids turned out beneficial because if it would have went any other way, he wouldn't be here, or I wouldn't be blessed with the job opportunities and everything that has come my way since I was able to keep him.
01:30:53: I could not honestly imagine life without Oliver. He is perfect. He resembles a lot of his sister.
01:31:02: They both took on the date the 12th of the year, so he didn't want her to be the only star in my life, and then he copied her with the helmet.
01:31:15: He's moving and growing so much, and then I get to see him and work with him every single day, so I couldn't imagine life any other way.
01:31:24: He is actually the first boy in my family on my side from my grandparents, so my dad is thrilled.
01:31:33: He now has a fishing buddy, and everybody else just loves him because everybody's squishy.
01:31:46: What I would say to a mom who is leaning towards getting an abortion is to personally wait and to look into resources in your community, in your churches, that can offer you some help, no matter what the issue is, whether it's not being with the father anymore, being young, that you have to tell your parents or your grandparents or your guardian, whether in and out of trouble, alcohol issues, whatever it is.
01:32:22: Your kids love you from the moment they are made inside of you, and you can feel that love before you even take a test, and everything through them is brand new, and it just reminds you of all the little things in life, whether you didn't have a family growing up, your parents weren't around,
01:32:45: I was adopted growing up, my birth parents were in and out of jail, but there's nothing more empowering than overcoming your struggles and making a change, and we can't make a change without actually stopping the wrongs and doing what's right, and what's right is saving lives and making a positive, impactful change amongst them and yourselves.
01:33:35: Many of you, I'm sure, are aware of what took place in the state of Ohio just recently. A ballot measure was put in that essentially legalized child sacrifice and the slaughter of the preborn all the way up until birth.
01:33:48: It is truly a horrific thing to imagine, and it passed.
01:33:54: It passed by popular vote, and so you see that the opposition, they are working consistently with their worldview.
01:34:03: They are working without compromise. They are working with boldness in their position. It's time for the
01:34:09: Christians in this nation to stand against this evil with the light of the gospel, the uncompromising truth of God's word.
01:34:19: It's time for us to stand boldly in the public square and to stop the compromise. It's time to tell the truth.
01:34:25: It's time to stand and be ready to lay our lives down for the sake of these children. In 2024, we need you.
01:34:32: God's blessed this ministry, this work beyond what we imagined, and he's done it with your help.
01:34:40: All of these years, it's been Christians just like you that made all of this possible, and so I want to ask you to join together with us as we take a stand without compromise, consistently, demanding justice for these preborn children, demanding that the slaughter ends once and for all, legally.
01:34:59: Help us to establish equal protection for all humans from fertilization across this nation.
01:35:05: Join us in 2024. Go to endabortionnow .com to give. My name is
01:35:25: Stephen Smith, and I minister out in front of a killing facility in Augusta, Georgia five days a week, the days that they're open, and I rescue babies for Jesus.
01:36:05: Back in 2015, you remember those Planned Parenthood videos where they were selling body parts?
01:36:11: I think a lot of those videos shook people up. We happened to watch that video at the same time that we saw babies are murdered here.
01:36:20: Jeff Durbin recommended it on his radio show, and I was listening to that radio show on a
01:36:26: BART train out in California coming home from work, and I was studying postmillennialism and kind of apologetics, and I decided to watch this movie and sit down with my wife and watch it, and this was right in the middle of those videos coming out.
01:36:43: I think the first or second one had just come out, and it just opened our eyes.
01:36:50: So that was the impetus for me to go out with my wife. In fact, the next night or the night after, the next weekend day off, she got some signs, some poster boards that made a babies are murdered here sign, and I want to let you know you don't have to be eloquent.
01:37:09: You just have to show up. She actually misspelled the sign and didn't put
01:37:14: E -D, just put R -D at the end, but we used that sign, and God used us, and He started us to be where we're at today.
01:37:26: I want to be there a half hour early at the least because I want to be there to look like the first one that they'll see.
01:37:35: You're always going to see somebody come in. They don't want to break that ice. They don't want to jump over that hedge of thorns that you've already prepared.
01:37:42: They'll shark around. It's a cul -de -sac where I serve, so it's in a medical center. You'd see all the other businesses around it.
01:37:50: They look identical, but that's the one where they killed 12 to 15 children a day, and if it weren't for those graphic image signs and someone standing there with literature and offering help, they would think it's just a dentist's place.
01:38:05: So it's important to be there first and to be that witness, that Samaritan that'll offer help to somebody in need or give information.
01:38:16: Paul talks about the purpose of the church, bringing Jew and Gentile together. You know, in Ephesians 2, he talks about the unity of the body, but he actually talks about what the purpose and mission of the church is, and this is so important, especially in an abortion ministry where you're fighting wicked spirits.
01:38:34: Check this out. It says, The plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
01:38:51: We're taking these places back to Jesus. We're dismantling. We're putting these wicked rulers and the world on notice that Jesus is king.
01:39:00: So this is a church operation. It has to be done through the church, through the gospel, and that's the problem with the pro -life movement.
01:39:12: It's not movie passes and balloons out there. It's not going to change your heart. We see people with Porsches and Maseratis show up.
01:39:20: We see pastors show up. We see killing your babies. We see people that it's not really what's in their wallet.
01:39:29: It's what's not in their heart. The gospel is the holiness and righteousness of God revealed to sinful man.
01:39:39: Right? So we want to show that. We want to show man. We want to show God. We want to show how
01:39:45: God can be right with man. It's a spiritual issue. Christ says, Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the
01:39:53: Son of Man be lifted up. When we lift up Christ, we preach Him. We preach
01:39:59: Him and He draws men to Himself. So that's the effective part of ministry.
01:40:05: A lot of Christ's ministry, He was speaking the hard things. You can speak the hard things winsomely.
01:40:13: You can do that. In fact, you should do that. But it's the humanism that's going to destroy your ministry.
01:40:21: You know, the man -centered, Oh, if they only had this, if only their wallet was fatter. You can actually be taken as a sucker doing that.
01:40:31: Helping somebody, throwing pillows. When I come out of a background of being a drug addict,
01:40:38: I didn't stop and turn to Christ because people were throwing pillows under my head.
01:40:45: I stopped when I realized my need for God. Well, I like to ask people,
01:40:55: Why would you not? And make them think, Well, there's other things that I can be doing.
01:41:01: I'd encourage them to look in Scripture and see what happens to nations that kill their children.
01:41:10: And see if you're loving any of your neighbors by letting this happen, knowing what God says about it.
01:41:16: Because I think every Christian in some level should practice true and undefiled religion, which is to visit the orphan in their affliction.
01:41:24: So I don't know how you would want to be in this ministry. I don't think everybody is called to be in front of a mill at the same time.
01:41:36: They could be supporting somebody at a mill. We see a lot of fruit out there. And not every turn away is a happy story for them at that point.
01:41:44: I'm sure that they'll come to realize what God did, hopefully.
01:41:50: We try to tell people how did God change your mind? I think that's important to always point them back to God.
01:41:58: Otherwise they're going to think that they made a good decision on their own. That's not what I want somebody to walk away from.
01:42:05: But we have one lady that you'll be speaking with. Her name's
01:42:10: Grace. She made three attempts at this mill on her child's life and one in Atlanta.
01:42:18: And that child's alive today. A beautiful baby. She came to her senses. She comes out and serves in the ministry on Saturday mornings now.
01:42:27: And you can't argue with that. Another thing is like when a brother calls you that you don't know or messages you on Facebook and says, oh brother,
01:42:37: I want to do what you're doing. When you see that you put some videos out, you may have just been clearing your camera out and I'm just going to put this on YouTube.
01:42:45: I'm going to save it out there and see what, you know, maybe this will help somebody. But when you find out that somebody's watching those videos and being discipled on them and wants to do what you're doing and then he's doing it daily, that's like a true victory.
01:42:58: Yeah. Or when you see a father man up and go rescue his child, that's a cool one too.
01:43:06: I say this to women, whatever you do, you're never going to be the same.
01:43:12: You're never going to be the same. You'll never regret not murdering your baby.
01:43:20: Something's going to happen to you if you do. We live in God's world. That's the fact.
01:43:27: He has a law. He says, cursed are the hands that shed innocent blood. I don't know what that looks like, but you're not going to be the same.
01:43:35: And there's folks that will help you. There are Christians out there. If you seek God, he'll provide for you.
01:43:42: And he'll do it through his church. He will. He does it all the time. And I heard the explosion in Iran to see if it could help people.
01:44:05: The devastation is unbelievable. Anybody that can think they can justify this, they're not
01:44:10: Irish. They're animals. Alright, so we're here in, what's the name of the town?
01:44:19: This is Oma. Oma. In County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. We're here. There's a gay pride festival.
01:44:25: Yep. Sort of have two cultures colliding against each other right now. Sort of the old Irish Christendom.
01:44:32: Yep. Still here, preaching a message that contradicts their whole culture, their lifestyle, and the culture of death.
01:44:42: So you have the gay pride. You have drag queens. And right across the street, you guys are set up with pictures of murdered children.
01:44:50: And you're giving them literature. Yep. Talking to them about the gospel. Talking to them about the word of God. Trying to reason with them and show them the inconsistencies of their position.
01:44:58: There's a big vocalization, large vocalization, of equal rights.
01:45:05: Equal rights. You even have things like the Equal Rights Campaign. And that's a main part of what they say as foundationals.
01:45:11: They believe that all humans deserve equal rights. And here you are. Yep. At the festival, talking to them about human rights.
01:45:17: Yeah. Equal rights. Yeah, and essentially, it comes down to, you know, we are bringing the gospel into conflict with what is essentially a religion.
01:45:27: Today, you know, they're meeting with their symbols, with their flags, with their groupings. And essentially, it is a religious ceremony.
01:45:35: And we are trying to be like the early Christians in the Book of Acts who are going out to where the idols are and they'll say, we see that you are religious people, but let us tell you about the true
01:45:48: God and point them in the direction of the true God. And as you said, you know, one of the ways that we kind of draw the contradiction is that we bring in this idea of rights and how hypocritical it is to talk about rights for LGBT community while at the same time either turning a completely blind eye or at times participating in the stripping of rights from pre -born human beings.
01:46:15: And ultimately, that comes because the idea of human rights doesn't have a standard. It's not based on a set standard that you can talk about.
01:46:26: And rights are given and stripped away from people all the time just based on the whim of society at that time.
01:46:35: Whereas we're saying that God loves justice. You know, the Bible tells us that God demands justice.
01:46:43: And it's His word and His law that should be the foundation for all rights.
01:46:49: And central to those rights is the demand that thou shalt not murder. Right. And so one of the things that's unique about you, about the churches that you're working with, that you're laboring together, is that you're confronting the issue that has been thrust upon you in Northern Ireland and in the
01:47:06: Republic with the gospel. Yeah. No compromise. The word of God is the authority. And it's really a gospel -centered issue for you which is very different than what we've seen in the
01:47:17: West over the last 50 years, say, since Roe vs. Wade. The approach is gospel -centered with Christ as the focus, with the call to repentance and faith.
01:47:26: Yep. And so praise God for that. That's where the gospel is the power of God for salvation. So that's where transformation is going to take place.
01:47:32: And it's going to take place when the church does what you're saying and brings the gospel into the public square. And so you're here, but there's something unique about this particular public square that makes this whole issue very, very interesting because you have, again, the
01:47:44: Gay Pride Festival going on now. You have you guys across the street preaching Christ, pointing to these children who have been sacrificed.
01:47:51: Mm -hmm. And you have two cultures in collision. Mm -hmm. And one culture is saying, no, you should be able to murder your child in the womb if you please at will.
01:48:01: And, you know, it's not really a child in the womb. And so you're allowed to dispose of it as you please.
01:48:07: But this is a unique center to have that conversation. Why is that? So, yeah, there are even those we meet who will say, yeah,
01:48:16: I absolutely accept that this is a human being, but they're not a person, so they don't have rights. And therefore, it doesn't matter if we kill them or not.
01:48:25: And here in Oma, Oma saw one of the absolute darkest days of our history, our recent history, when a bomb exploded in this street back in 1998.
01:48:37: And the target for the bomb was the courthouse up at the top of the street here that we can see.
01:48:43: But the bombers were unable to get the bomb the whole way to the courthouse, so they parked it just down the road.
01:48:49: Just right up here. Yeah, just right up here. And the police started to push everybody from the courthouse down towards the bottom of the street, which was supposed to be safe, but they pushed them right into the mouth of the bomb.
01:49:01: And the bomb exploded, and it killed 31 people that day. 31? 31 people that day, including two pre -born twins in their mother's womb were among the victims.
01:49:14: And when you look through the list of victims, they were people ranging throughout all ages, both males, females, people from Spain, from other countries, from the very, very young right the way through to the oldest.
01:49:31: And the fact is that either the killing of every single one of them is wrong, or the killing of 29 of them is wrong, but two, it's inconsequential.
01:49:45: And nobody in their right mind would say that the murder of those two little boys in the womb that day when the bomb exploded on the street was inconsequential.
01:49:57: It was nothing. It doesn't matter because they're not people. Because in that scenario, it's impossible to not recognize the worth of those two boys.
01:50:07: So to then turn around and say, well, children in the womb aren't people, so we can do whatever we want to them, is just an absolute fallacy.
01:50:17: And it's a complete contradiction of the two. When we come here to Oma, it's one of the things that we bring up with people, and it's one of the things that causes huge amounts of dissonance with those that we meet on the streets of Oma because they completely oppose, they abhor what happened here, but they turn a blind eye to what's happening in clinics and hospitals around the corner.
01:50:40: So it's good to be able to bring that piece of history into conflict with this issue as well because in Northern Ireland we have seen horrific acts carried out.
01:50:52: We had a Saturday afternoon where blood flowed on this street, young and old, rich and poor, man and woman.
01:51:01: And once again in Northern Ireland, our sewers are filled with the blood of children murdered in their homes and flushed down the toilet.
01:51:12: And it's no different than what we had in 40 years of conflict here. In fact, it's much worse.
01:51:19: We recently... Because it's their own family doing it. It's their own family doing it, and it's on a scale that we have never seen before.
01:51:26: We had 3 ,500 people killed here. Since 2020. During the Troubles, we had 3 ,500 people killed in the
01:51:33: Troubles, and since 2020 we've had 3 ,500 children killed. So this is...
01:51:41: So the point is this, the people in Oma and the people here instinctively understand, based upon their own history, why this is immoral and it can't be tolerated.
01:51:51: But because of a complete, idolatrous, cultural transformation, they can't live consistently with that.
01:51:59: So they can call a car bombing that kills two boys in the womb an atrocity and horrible.
01:52:05: They can even say the word horrible, though if you're an atheist you can't justify that. But they'll say it's horrible, so they understand instinctively that's horrible, but now they're accepting what's been thrust upon Northern Ireland.
01:52:16: And not even just accepting it, some of them celebrating it. Oh, for sure. And calling it a right and celebrating the fact that they can do what the bombers did here on that day in 1998.
01:52:31: And it comes from that worldview that has no foundation.
01:52:37: They have a worldview that has no foundation, and that is why it is so important, so important to us that we bring the
01:52:43: Gospel into conflict with it. Because, as you said, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It is the only way to make sense of this earth, of ourselves, of each other.
01:52:54: And as we talked about rights, the idea of rights in our society has no foundation.
01:53:01: And what we can do is we can point to God's word as the ultimate foundation for rights and say, well, we're consistent because we can say that the murder of those two twins was wrong, as is the murder of every other child in the womb.
01:53:15: And they count. So the secularists, the humanists, the atheists, the agnostic, they don't have a basis, a philosophical or moral basis to complain about anything.
01:53:26: And yet, because they're in the image of God, they do complain. They do crowd against injustice, and they don't have any transcendent law to point to past their own selves, their feelings, their emotions.
01:53:38: But it's the Christian worldview, the word of God, that provides that objective basis and that transcendent law, that represents the eternal character of God.
01:53:49: They can point to that. We can point to that. But when, well, let's just say it, when the
01:53:54: West throws off their Christian commitments and foundations, when you dismiss the word of God and the gospel, well, now you've thrown off transcendent law.
01:54:05: And so now you're dealing with a big transformation that's happening in the West now. In Northern Ireland, in the Republic, in England, in America.
01:54:13: You're seeing now this darkness and this dark culture creeping in because people are throwing off the gospel, throwing off the
01:54:20: Christian foundations. And so, something, I was talking to you about this last night, something that's unique that I'm so grateful to God for,
01:54:27: I'm so terribly grateful to God for, is that on the issue of abortion that we're dealing with now in Northern Ireland, it's very recent.
01:54:37: Northern Ireland, the Republic, very recent, that now it's allowed, that it's promoted, that it's celebrated, that it's honored in places.
01:54:47: So this is new for you that it's now been thrust upon you like this. We've had it for a long time in my country, but I was saying to you, the church really began to rise up with a consistent message against the issue of abortion, bringing the gospel into conflict with abortion.
01:55:04: In say, the last 10, 15 years, you start to see a remarkable transformation and moves with the gospel on this issue.
01:55:12: Praise God, you are now at the beginning of this slaughter for your nation, but you are with churches and believers and pastors who are fighting from the beginning of this holocaust with the gospel.
01:55:24: Can you talk about that for a minute? I personally can't see how you can argue against abortion without the gospel, because ultimately it comes down to your opinion against my opinion, and as human beings, we have different opinions and we haven't got that ultimate standard, and we found that out very early in our ministry.
01:55:47: We went out with our images, we talked about human development, we talked about the science behind it, we talked about rights, and ultimately people turned around and said, well,
01:55:56: I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. It's not a biological, scientific, but it's a moral question. And your scientists may say something different than my scientists, and we go round and round in circles talking about rights, talking about science, when actually there's no foundation to any of it.
01:56:14: It's pointless for me talking about rights and science.
01:56:20: Yes, we can bring those in. Yes, they back up our argument, but ultimately abortion is wrong because God says it is wrong, and that has to be our message, and that has to be a message that we bring to our own churches, it has to be a message that we bring to our pastors, it has to be a message that we bring to the people who are gathered here, but it has to be a message that we bring to our legislators as well.
01:56:43: And we're seeing here in the UK this week a massive constitutional change with the death of the
01:56:51: Queen and the swearing -in of a new King, and for me, one of the things that really struck me this week, there are protocols when you meet royalty, there are things that you must do and things that, you know, and from a very early age the
01:57:06: Queen has had people bow to her every time that she meets them, and this week when she passed into eternity it was her that bowed to the
01:57:17: King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and to her King, and ultimately regardless of who we're talking to, whether it be a legislator, whether it be committees, whether it be, you know, and you were saying about talking to a guy in a dress at a committee, we still got to bring
01:57:38: God's standard and God's law into that conversation, even if we think that the person is not going to be receptive, because we still have to say you're in your position because of God, you're appointed by God, and you're appointed to uphold
01:57:52: His law and punish the evildoer. That's a very important, that's a very important aspect of this conversation that needs to get talked about often is that the legislator who's not a believer is still responsible to bow the knee to Jesus Christ because He is
01:58:08: Lord of all, and God commands men everywhere to repent, including men in dresses on committees, and so He's in the image of God, so He needs
01:58:16: Christ, but also the government is an institution, a sphere that God has created for His glory, for our good, and so on both counts, the legislators need the word of God, the law word of God, and they need the call to repentance and faith.
01:58:30: So the unbelieving legislator has as much duty before God to yield to His law and to submit to Him as the believing legislator.
01:58:38: And it's, you know, what I was telling Luke earlier, we had a, we went to a nearby city called
01:58:45: Londonderry here a few weeks ago, and I bumped into a guy, we held our display, and a guy came over and he was trying to block our images, and he was a socialist, anarchist, atheist, completely hated
01:58:57: God, and we spoke for an hour and a half because he was trying to block all the images, it was great, we had a captive audience for an hour and a half, and he said to me, you know, he does a lot of kind of work in terms of poverty, and he said, you know what really annoys me about the church?
01:59:13: What really annoys him about the church is that they don't do things to tackle poverty, they're not trying to tackle poverty, they're not trying to tackle injustice in society, and I said, well they run food banks, they do drop -ins, they support, he said, no that's charity, what
01:59:30: I'm talking about is they're not forcing change, they're not making change, and here's a guy who is an atheist, hates
01:59:37: God, and longs for theonomy, longs for Christians and the church to stand up and say, obey
01:59:46: Jesus, and plead the widow's cause, and seek justice for the fatherless, he is an atheist, is wishing the church would do what
01:59:56: God commands them to do, which is incredible, you know, it really struck me that when we go to legislators, when we go to guys in dresses to talk to them about God's law and why they must obey
02:00:08: Jesus, we are doing that as much for their benefit as for ours. Oh, yes.
02:00:14: You know, and theonomy and God's law benefits all of humanity, you know, so why wouldn't we go and tell our legislators you must obey
02:00:23: God's law? Because it benefits us all. It's loving our neighbor. It's loving our neighbor. It's justice for our neighbor.
02:00:29: Yeah, totally. And society is crying out for that. They are crying out for that and they're not getting that from the church.
02:00:38: You know, so for us, we try to come out and we do our stuff in the street, we try to equip
02:00:43: Christians, you know, the people in the pews to go into their own churches to spread the message, to get their pastors and their ministers that call for abolition to bring the gospel into this.
02:00:57: We, as an organization, we have no membership because we're not trying to build an empire.
02:01:03: We, as an organization, aren't going to abolish abortion. That's going to be the church. And all we exist to do is equip the church and get the church to take a fight.
02:01:13: So when it goes to committees and when it goes to our legislators, it shouldn't be me, it shouldn't be any of the other guys in our group, it should be pastors.
02:01:21: Pastors. Who are on the front line, who are talking to legislators and demanding the changes that will bring an end to abortion.
02:01:31: You know, and the unfortunate thing is there are many churches where, because of the denominational structures in them, there are committees within a church denomination who deal with the issue of abortion, so many local pastors and ministers don't see it as their job.
02:01:47: They are like, you know, somebody else deals with that. We have para -church organizations who it just gets shipped out to and they all tend to be secular organizations, so they're not bringing the gospel into the issue.
02:02:02: So what we're trying to do and what we're trying to equip is pastors who are ordained in this ministry who have the responsibility and a scary responsibility to bring the gospel into conflict with this issue.
02:02:17: We're trying to get them to take a stand, get them to be the people who go to legislators and speak out.
02:02:22: And our job is simply to equip them to do that. And it is through the church that God will end this horror in our land.
02:02:37: Hi everybody, I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin, the head of End Abortion Now. I want to start this by, from the bottom of my heart, thanking all of you who have been a part of this ministry with us since the very beginning.
02:02:47: When we started End Abortion Now, we wanted to save lives. And when we started that work, God blessed it.
02:02:53: And we have been able to raise up about 1 ,000 churches across the U .S. and really around the world, the
02:02:59: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland. Everything was given away for free to these churches.
02:03:06: Nothing was asked of them. We've equipped them, we've raised them up, and now they're saving lives.
02:03:12: God's blessed that work. God also blessed us, as many of you know, in the area of having a prophetic witness, a voice to legislators across the country.
02:03:21: And over the years, through your partnership with us, we've been able to get bills of equal protection and abolition into states across the
02:03:31: United States of America. This next session, we have, prospectively, commitments from legislators in 18 states across the
02:03:40: United States of America. That's 18 states that are going to be putting in bills of equal protection and abolition of abortion.
02:03:47: It's incredible. It's overwhelming. It's a huge gift. And what we need this next year, 2024, is we need your prayers.
02:03:56: We need your partnership. We need you to go to endabortionnow .com. Sign the statement of equal protection.
02:04:02: Get connected. Get your church involved. We want to help you. We also need you to partner with us financially.
02:04:09: 2024 actually presents incredible opportunities for us as a ministry. Not only do we have all of these states that we have bills of equal protection set to go into, but now we have the past history of going and sitting before legislators, sitting in state legislatures, and actually working for these bills of abolition.
02:04:29: The tide is changing. It is truly changing. And with what just took place in Ohio with the ballot measure, it has emboldened many, many
02:04:38: Christians to take a stand once and for all for what is right before God and take a stand for justice for the pre -born children.
02:04:46: Next year, 2024, is going to be our most important and our busiest year we've had yet.
02:04:52: And so I want to ask you, as a brother, as a friend, as a ministry partner, to partner with us again in 2024.
02:05:00: Help us to meet our budget goals so that we can accomplish all that God has given to us to establish justice for these fatherless children and to once and for all end child sacrifice.
02:05:11: Please partner with us. Go to endabortionnow .com to give, pray, and to sign up.
