Planned Parenthood and the Abortionist's Forked Tongue

I don't normally watch the news... But I did happen to watch this interview with a Planned Parenthood Executive.

On the one hand I was startled by her willingness to evade truth rather than admit self-deception... On the other hand, I was reminded that the penalty for living in the dark is not merely that a person cannot see, but that they go blind.

Take a quick look
(the relevant portion starts at 3:18):

"Since the Bible teaches that life in the womb is human life, one cannot accept abortion without denying the authority and truth of Scripture in practice."

Now's your chance to find out....

Listen in to "Know Your Confession" - a course hosted by All Souls Church, teaching the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Today's lecture covers WCF chapter 4. A chapter entitled: "Of Creation."

Before listening why not read the full text WCF chapter 4 below.

The Westminster Confession of Faith
Chapter 4 – Of Creation

It pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness, in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days; and all very good.
After God had made all other creatures, He created man, male and female, with reasonable and immortal souls, endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness, after His own image; having the law of God written in their hearts, and power to fulfil it: and yet under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will, which was subject unto change. Beside this law written in their hearts, they received a command, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which while they kept, they were happy in their communion with God, and had dominion over the creatures.

"Creation, Kingdom, Covenant & Confusion: A Study of Genesis 1-11"

This past Sunday at All Souls we launched into a new series of sermons on the first book of the Bible - the book of Genesis. And while I am excited to learn more about this important portion of God's Word, I must honestly admit that there is great danger here.

For some reason it seems that both the beginning of the Bible (Genesis) and the end of the Bible (Revelation) are all too often hijacked by weirdoes and kooks. That is to say, strange speculations and odd interpretations are frequently brought to bear upon these books with the result that some Christians (and many preachers) simply avoid the very beginning and the very end of the Bible altogether…. But at what cost?

As a Reformed and Evangelical Christian I believe that the Bible, from beginning to end, tells one story – the story of God’s redemptive activity in Christ - and it's the best story ever written! But like every other story ever written it is crucial that readers know and understand the very beginning and the very end... without them, they'll never understand the middle.

Perhaps this would be a good time for you to begin studying the book of Genesis along with us. You are always welcome to visit All Souls Church (228 Main Street Green Camp, Ohio 43322) or you can listen to the first message in the Genesis series and follow along each week on our website as we work through the beginning of the story of redemption in our series entitled “Creation, Kingdom, Covenant & Confusion.”

For those keen to get started reading Genesis, here’s a bit of context that might help you in your reading:

Q: Who wrote Genesis?
A: Moses, the great law-giver wrote the book of Genesis under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Q: When Did Moses Write Genesis?
A: No official date is given though I personally believe Moses wrote Genesis during the first 40 years of His life while still in Egypt (before 1487 BC.) During these years Moses would have had unhindered access to the Hebrew community and their records. From these records (both oral and written) Moses likely compiled the book of Genesis.

Q: To whom did Moses write Genesis?
A: The book of Genesis was written for a nation of Hebrew slaves.

kook |ko͞ok| noun, informal "a person whose dress, behavior and/or interpretation of Scripture seems strange or eccentric."

Q: What is the purpose of Genesis?
A: There are at least three basic purposes for the writing of Genesis, they are:
1) Historical – Moses wrote to provide comfort in suffering and to inspire hope that God would deliver His enslaved people.
2) Doctrinal – Moses wrote to show that God is absolutely sovereign and faithful to all of His promises - particularly to those promises relating to redemption.
3) Christological – Ultimately Moses wrote to point his original readers (and us) to Jesus Christ, the coming Redeemer who would provide a great spiritual deliverance from the slavery of sin. Man's Savior would be God's Son - God in the flesh - and as such He would be the final proof of God's faithfulness.

Why not take a listen to an exposition of Genesis 1:1-2:3
