Scripture of the Day – February 15th

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

James 2:8-10

Live Action – Speaking for the Unborn

Below is an email I got today from Live Action. It’s important that we all know that many times on social media, those who believe in Conservative principles are silenced by the social media censors. The article below is a prime example of what I’m talking about. I removed some of the fund raising talk from the email, but I did leave in the link where you can go and give if you so desire.

Hi Ed,

I just heard a powerful quote from someone that I want to share with you.

“Wow. Unbelievable. I’m shocked, really. This shouldn’t happen, so, I think, especially after seeing this video, I realize now, like, abortion is wrong, really, really wrong.”

This was the reaction of a self-proclaimed “pro-choice” man after seeing one of Live Action’s “Abortion Procedures” videos on the streets of San Francisco this summer.

He’s not alone. Whether it’s the dozens of people we’ve interviewed in cities across the country or the millions who’ve already seen these videos online, we are convincing more and more people to see that killing preborn children is wrong.

We are able to reach millions of people with these Abortion Procedure videos through social media – reaching people right where they are – on their smartphones and computers.

But, Ed, Twitter clearly doesn’t like the fact that we are defending the truth through ads on their platform – they continue to ban our pro-life voice. They know how effective our content and advertising are at persuading more people to value and protect life – content they deemed “offensive” and “inflammatory.”

Here is an example of the kind of content that Twitter is banning!

Screen Shot 2017-10-17 at 3.36.09 PM (1).pngWhile we work to pressure Twitter to lift their ban on ads for pro-life content, we must double our efforts elsewhere.

Live Action has the largest online presence than any other pro-life organization. We must take advantage of our expansive reach on all of our platforms, besides Twitter, to expose the abortion industry and change people’s opinions on abortion.

 

Here is a link where you can make your gift: https://www.liveaction.org/support/end-twitters-ban/

Ed, with your support, we will show Twitter, and the rest of the country, what is truly “offensive” and “inflammatory” – the killing of preborn children.

Together, we can end this atrocity and build a culture where the rights of all individuals are protected, especially the most vulnerable: our precious preborn.

Larry the Cable Guy Gives His Testimony

I’ve always enjoyed Larry the Cable Guy’s comedy as whole and am so happy to hear the news that he shares in this testimony. 

Ed Boston

 

Daniel Whitney (Larry The Cable Guy) shares how his dad was a Baptist preacher and that he became a Christian as a young boy. He points out how he never did drugs or alcohol, but in this area of work, as he describes, “you get in the entertainment business, it just pulls you in.” As he points out, two years ago, he rededicated his life to Jesus Christ. His heart begins to pour out as he shares his thoughts and concerns about so many of the things that he has done in his life. “I just feel horrible about some of the things that I’ve done; and unlike other people, everything that I did and said, is on tape for everybody to see. I’m proud of some things that I’ve done…but there are things that I’ve done onstage, now that I’m back in the fold, now that I’m back with my Savior, there’s things that I look back on and I wish I wouldn’t have done it.” Whitney continues to point out this important truth, “Men don’t forgive you, and I don’t care if men forgive me, Jesus forgives me.”

There Really Is Hope! Here’s My Heart

This story is one that we Christians need to share in love. The other side proclaims that there is no other alternative for homosexuals. This story proves that there is such a thing as “Former LGBTQ”.

Former LGBTQ Christians Share Their Journey to Freedom in Jesus and Heterosexuality in New Documentary

Today’s culture tells people who are homosexual there is no other way and there is no ‘cure,’ but Christians who were once LGBTQ have a different story to tell. And they’re telling it in a new documentary.

Men and women who once embraced gay relationships and transgender identities share how their lives and their sense of self completely changed after coming to meet Jesus.

Praying For Those Affected By The Wildfires

I have been following what is happening with the wildfires by watching the Facebook profile of friend of the podcast, Kevin Downes. While the fires got just a block or two from their home, Kevin and his family were allowed to move back home after being under mandatory evacuation.

Amy and I are praying for the safety of all in the path of the fires, for the thousands of first responders, and for the families of those who have lost their lives because of these fires. 

If you would like to hear the interview with Kevin, click here – the topic was the movie Faith of our Fathers.

Producer Darren Moorman On Today’s Ed Boston Podcast

Here is the link for today’s podcast.

Here is more about Darren:

DARREN MOORMAN (PRODUCER) Since the late nineties, Darren Moorman has worked alongside various industry leaders including MGM and DIRECTV, producing several film titles along the way such as, ALL OVER AGAIN, SENSATION OF SIGHT, THE FIFTH PATIENT, UNCONDITIONAL, CRACKERJACK, AND SEVEN DAYS OF CHANGE (Series Pilot, Executive Producer). Darrenrecently produced an adaptation of the New York Times Best Selling Book, SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME with Paramount Pictures, starring Renee Zellweger, Greg Kinnear, Djimon Hounsou and Jon Voight (releasing Feb ‘17). He recently finished production on his first season of, MARK HAMILL’S POP CULTURE QUEST, with Lionsgate as EP and Co-Creator, and in post-production on his next 2 movies, RUN THE RACE and INDIVISIBLE, both set for Theatrical Releases in 2018.

He is Co-Founder of the Everybody Can Help Somebody Foundation, a not for profit created to help those in need.

Darren lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two boys.

And now more about the movie.

“Nobody can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody.” Words of wisdom from a homeless drifter; words that never would be shared with the world if not for a wayward husband, a forgiving wife, and an unforgettable true story that brought the three of them together.

With more money than they could ever possibly need, Ron and Debbie Hall have everything they could ever want … except for a loving marriage. When Ron’s unfaithfulness is brought to light, Debbie invites him to stay—as long as he remains truthful and does what she asks of him. But when her request includes serving the homeless at an inner-city rescue mission, Ron would prefer to write a large check instead.

Guided by her faith and spurred on by the dream of a homeless man she senses will change their city, Debbie befriends a disenfranchised man named Denver. More surprisingly, so does Ron. Despite vast differences, their lives begin to intersect and they all are changed … forever.

Based on an unforgettable true story of forgiveness, friendship, family, and faith, SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME opens in theatres October 20. With two Academy Award® winners and two nominees, the film’s outstanding cast brings to life the New York Times bestseller that interweaves stories of international art dealer Ron Hall (Greg Kinnear), his grace-giving wife Debbie (Renée Zellweger), their unexpected friend Denver (Djimon Hounsou), and Ron’s estranged father Earl (Jon Voight).

 

Gathering In DC In The Name of Jesus

Christians From All 50 States Praying in Nation’s Capital for ‘Spiritual Shift’ in America

WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of Christians from every state in the U.S. have assembled on the National Mall this weekend to sing and worship in dozens of tents and pray for a “spiritual shift” in America.

America’s Tent of Meeting, is sponsored by Awaken the Dawn and several other partner organizations for the express purpose of focusing on Jesus and to pray for a nation in crisis. ATM began Friday night with a call to repentance on the main stage where an estimated 30,000 people were in attendance park police said, according to an and event organizer.

“I see Awaken the Dawn as part of a bigger story that God is telling,” said Michael Beardslee of Phoenix, Arizona, in an interview with The Christian Post outside the New Mexico prayer tent. Beardslee works for a nonprofit volunteer engagement agency and has just begun doctoral studies at Grand Canyon University.

“There is a story that the enemy is telling in our nation, and he likes a lot of attention and he gets the attention a lot of the time,” he said. But it’s God’s story that will prevail, he added.
