My dear old thing, beloved brother, is it really you? How I have missed you over these several years. I hope you will stick around a bit, and cause a great thinking and pondering on spiritual issues.
Mark 9:23-24 shows source of faith for answered prayer, rather than "just saying prayers".

Let me get this straight, they are going to pray and ask God to stop abortion, as though he is to blame for it.

You could be right. Or, he is, as Rand Paul has said, indeed a false conservative who wouldn't want to be seen among social or religious conservatives. There is no long term consistency in his positions, so it is rather suspicious.

Around here, with RI.and MA having the largest per capita number of Roman Catholics in the US, we often have the Virgin Mary appearing somewhere. More recently, within the rust on a wall under a bridge, and within the sap dripping down a tree. The "faithful" always come from all around the tri-state area to homage and witness the miracle. The women will talk about how energy is pulsating through them to saying that Mary is speaking to them as they cry, being overwhelmed by her presense.
Sad that they're so deceived and willlfully misinformed. Also that the church supports it by never speaking out against it..

Their Religion doesn't bring them to know Jesus Christ. They do not have a Testimony of God saving them in their false religion

Those of us who are indeed genuinely born again ought humble ourselves and repent of our own arrogance, and weep over Catholics on their way to hell, break down and Preach the Truth of Jesus Christ to them until either they are saved or kill us (Romans 10:1-4,13-15)

we ought to remember it is Jesus Himself who told us, 'If salt has lost its savour it is good for nothing anymore except to be thrown out and trampled under the foot of man

Why is it Catholics seem to care more for unborn children than Protestants?

Roman Catholics believe they have to do things to merit the grace of God, and that the cause of standing up for the unborn is a very worthy cause, worth the sacrifice

Some but thankfully not all "Protestants" (btw I am NOT a protestant, I am a Baptist-type believer, I am not protesting the RCC imagining Catholicism is Christian and it only needs a little fixing up _ RCs need REPENTNACE, and to be genuinely born again of the Holy Ghost not mere reformation)

Many "protestants" and/or many "Evangelicals" refuse to see Abortion as a Gospel matter (just a moral one) ... for that matter many don't really see the Gospel, the Cross, the shed Blood of Christ as of immeasurable importance and worth giving ones life for.

Let me say it this way, I am growing in the conviction that standing to proclaim the Gospel in the darkest and most dangerous of places validates the claim of the Gospel upon men to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that preaching it in nice safe comfortable church buildings might never do.

To me it doesn't matter what this woman is or how confused politically or religiously she might be (note: I truly hope she is a genuine born again Christain but even if she isn't she is still a human being). No one deserves to be treated like she is being treated, assaulted/sued, beaten on, bullied in an attempt to force her to violate her conscience by pro-homosexual facists

No one deserves to be abandoned and thrown under the bus, or thrown to wolves by our government, by our society and our churches.

Sure thing, Michael. I'd be by your side if we were neighbors.

Just so you know, I did call a friend I used to attend Church with me to go with me. And for a first, pretty much a 'dry run' we had a good time and figured out some logistics .... Like I need a bag to carry Gospels of John, tracts and such and maybe something to pad my shoulder (this cross isn't so much heavy as a bit awkward to balance on your shoulder)
and Yes, to take the time and paint the Cross too.

I am in the process of doing something I haven't done in my evangelism so far, and would beg your prayers (Protection, Favor, Open doors/hearts)

I have made a small simple wooden cross that I plan on from time to time carry and walk the streets here locally alone even though it would be great/better to have someone go with me (with literature etc, on me to give away: Toda, it is a 2 page pring of AW Tozer's "The OLD Cross and the New") with the goal/desire to be able to talk with people who might otherwise be uninterested.

Please do pray for me however the Sprit leads you to, especially for my attitude and wisdom in listening to those who come up to talk.

btw I met a RC yesterday PROUD (Arrogant?) she was Jesuit trained, in my words here, to ignore (hold/suppress) the Truth of Jesus Christ right there for all of us in the Bible

The Interposition of the Lesser Magistrates

Please think along with me.
For years now many have been praying for Revival (a very good thing) a fresh reformation (againg a good thing) BUT to see evil stopped! We need interposition!

So let me plead with all of us
1. to repent where we have not interposed ourselves between evil and evil's victims
2. to pray God would raise up lesser magistrates and to commit ourselves to interpose ourselves between evil and evil's prey

For are we not told resist the devil and he will flee from you.
