• "Come Now, Let Us Reason Together"

  By Ian Kelly • August 17, 2010 04:09 PM

  I'd like to being this post by introducing you to a new commenter on this blog. While I'm afraid I don't know his real name yet I do know that he is a volunteer escort for women seeking an abortion and/or other services an abortion clinic has to offer. Thus he goes by the name, Volunteer in the comments section.

  My point in bringing attention to our new friend is that while we here at Bound4LIFE clearly disagree with Volunteer's abortion stance we are indeed able talk politely with each other and debate without the conversation breaking down. For this I am grateful. I invite everyone in our fantastic community to welcome Volunteer and extend to him the same courtesy he has given us.

  This brings me to the point of this post: Civility.

• Passive Love And Compromised Peace

  By Susan Tyrrel • June 09, 2010 03:23 PM

  I learned of the arrest of Rev. Mahoney for praying on public property just before I left for the evening. When I came back, my heavy heart was met with more comments than I have ever seen on a Bound4LIFE blog. At first I was excited. Christians were upset; we were going to stand. And there was some of that. But there were comments that implied we needed to be quiet, not cross lines to pray, not stand up publicly or we might not look like real Christians.
  
  I certainly understand the desire to project the right image of Christianity. I honor that. We are supposed to epitomize love. Everything we do should be in a right spirit and with honor even to those who oppose us. But let me say this: Being loving does not mean laying down our swords. At no time did Jesus not speak when the laws of God were in violation. He spoke in love, but He spoke.

• Voiceless

  By Susan Tyrrel • May 19, 2010 11:54 AM

  A campaign to stop hatred against homosexuals features many celebrities with silver Duct tape on their mouth proclaiming NOH8. If you recall, the proposition on California’s ballot in 2008 to stop gay marriages was Proposition 8. Voters passed it, agreeing that marriage should be between a man and a woman. This campaign arose as a silent protest against that law.
  
  What strikes me about this campaign is the similarities to the pro-life campaign. The tape on the mouth, the day of silence to stop hate, they sound like things we have been doing for years. According to the website:

  The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest … in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest.

  Sounds familiar, huh? Tape over the mouth in silent protest for the voiceless? I think I have seen that somewhere before.

• Unyielding Strategic Prayer

  By Ian Kelly • May 10, 2010 03:12 PM

  Since the last week of April, victories have been won and momentum is building in the state of Florida on behalf of the unborn. Seeing that we have not yet come out from this great battle, here is an update and report of these past events, which, I pray will stir faith and urgency in your spirits and give some direction in these coming days.

  Every Wednesday morning for the past six months or so, our Bound4LIFE Tallahassee chapter has been conducting a Silent Siege in front of the FL Supreme Court and the FL Capitol. Some weeks we have clear strategies to pray for; others we simply take our place on the wall and stand for God's burdens (Ez 22:30).

  Last week, our team had been invited by a few pro-life representatives to meet and pray with them after our morning Siege. This meeting unfortunately was canceled as members of the House were debating bills and passing laws as it was the last week of session. We heard that there was some pro-life legislation hopefully to be presented in the Senate. To be honest, this was surprisingly under the radar to us and seemingly came out of nowhere. So, to the Senate gallery we went.

• Ultrasound Before Abortion Amendment Passes Florida Senate

  By Ian Kelly • April 28, 2010 04:02 PM

  The sheer volume of pro-life legislation over the last few weeks since Health Care reform became law has been outstanding! It reminds of what Joseph said to his brothers years after they sold him into slavery:

  "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." - Gen. 50:20

  LifeNews reports:

  Florida senators today added an amendment to a health care bill that would allow women considering an abortion to see an ultrasound of their baby. Although abortion centers frequently conduct pre-abortion ultrasounds, they don't necessarily give women a chance to see them.
  
  Sen. Alex Villalobos, a Miami Republican sponsored the amendment the Florida Senate approved on a 22-17 vote.
  
  “I just don't see the problem with having someone have a little more information before they make a decision,” Villalobos said, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

• The Reality Of Adoption

  By Susan Tyrrel • April 21, 2010 11:35 AM

  Adoption saved my life. It’s personal to me. So the past several days I have been wrestling with how to address the horrific story of the boy who was adopted and returned as damaged goods. The 7-year old was labeled as severely troubled by his adoptive family and placed on a plane back to Russia—alone. Russia was livid and threatened to end all adoptions with US families. The whole thing was such rotten publicity that my first instinct was to sit on it; it goes against all we are fighting for. But it’s tugging at me. There’s so much wrong with this whole scenario that we can’t let the simple news story affect us to a negative change. We don’t dare let this isolated incident be our lone example for a why not.
  
  CNN decided to get in on the adoption game when it ran a story decrying the negative sides of adoption and noting that unknown children might have a score of mental and physical problems which are unseen at the outset.
  
  To that I have only one response: The very same things can happen to naturally born children.
  
  Don’t misunderstand me, please. I know there are some real issues that sometimes do come with adoptions, but I have seen those issues overcome with love and good parenting, with the power of the Holy Spirit and a lifestyle of prayer. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for medicine and therapy, or sometimes a combination of it all. But articles like this, along with the other “I didn’t really love my child” articles appearing after this scandal as some sick trend to get readers might scare away people who don’t know otherwise...

• National Day Of Prayer - A Response

  By Susan Tyrrel • April 19, 2010 11:41 AM

  This past week the story of the judge who ruled the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional has gripped me. While it’s disturbing and sad, what’s notable to me is that there’s been such a mass of folks all over the interwebs responding to this like their very right to pray has been snatched away by some dark creature from the underworld.
  
  This is good in many ways. It’s wonderful any time Christians will rise up and speak out for the what their rights are. I rejoice that we are upset and this unjust ruling. But it also brought a question to my mind.
  
  What about the 364 other days?
  
  The National Day of Prayer is rooted in the call to the nation to pray for awakening. In fact, it’s not that far from what we at Bound4LIFE do every time we call a Silent Siege or a corporate prayer meeting. While our focus is more specific, obviously, we pray for awakening in our nation, in government, for the history of our founding fathers to be honored and upheld, for righteousness to exalt our nation. Our mission of prayer isn’t that different from the National Day of Prayer.
  
  In my city, we Siege at a federal courthouse. We stand under a U.S. Flag, peering at long columns on a court of justice, seeing President Ford’s name, the man who signed the designation that our courthouse be named an historic property in 1976. As I reflect on this history, I pray for our nation. One nation under God.

• Raising Counter-Culture Children

  By Susan Tyrrel • April 12, 2010 04:10 PM

  Since I’d been around children praying for the ending of abortion with more vigor than some adults, this was a new dilemma to me. As I listened to their concern, I saw it was truly well-intended. Pro-LIFE parents who are horrified by abortion don’t know how to expose children to such a thing when they haven’t even learned fractions.
  
  The reality, though, is that in our current society, they are probably going to learn about abortion before fractions...

  Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's oldest member and leader of its liberal bloc, is retiring. President Barack Obama now has his second high court opening to fill.

  Stevens said Friday he will step down when the court finishes its work for the summer in late June or early July. He said he hopes his successor is confirmed "well in advance of the commencement of the court's next term."

• Behind Closed Doors

  By Susan Tyrrel • April 02, 2010 03:37 PM

  We in Bound4LIFE know the answer is not abortion but adoption. Dr. Kopf addresses this, too, when he discusses offering adoption counseling in his office:

  “It's sort of a misconception in some circles that ladies who choose pregnancy termination would be interested in adoption, that's one thing people don't understand. Abortion is birth control. Adoption is giving up your child and not accepting your duties as a mother. Most women are not interested in that. It's only in a religiously-altered mind that that's a true option.”

• More Than Words

  By Ian Kelly • March 19, 2010 02:12 PM

  Intercession to be sure is verbal. But intercessors are connecting with God not through words and actions but through emotions and agreement. Words can only take you so far then comes the breaking point. Most people get to the edge but then retreat because of the need to fill the void of quietness. They feel useless unless they can get loud or can articulate what is going on inside of them. They pray and read hoping to somehow put into words the prayers burning inside of them all the while not realizing that the inexpressible is expressing, through them...

• Emphasis Given

  By Susan Tyrrel • March 16, 2010 02:42 PM

  Bound4LIFE director Matt Lockett wrote this blog Sunday to make us aware of what’s happening in the ever-changing health care process which includes abortion funding with tax dollars. He emphasized,

  “I SINCERELY DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THIS WEEK ISN'T THE MAKE-IT-OR-BREAK-IT WEEK.”

  I was struck by Matt’s emphasis. There’s a good reason for it, and even as I read his statement and the rest of the blog, which you need to read completely if you support LIFE and want to be informed, I was enlightened on an important spiritual point as well.

  One of the number one rules of writing is to know your audience. So why does the director of a pro-life organization need to emphasize anything so strongly to readers of a pro-life blog? Because the enemy of our souls is also the author of confusion...

  A few months ago I was watching the movie Amazing Grace about the life of William Wilberforce, and suddenly, faith burst into my heart that public opinion could indeed be changed!  We have faithfully run a Bound4LIFE chapter in Orlando for the last 3 years, but I have to admit, although I have given much of my time to this issue, I never had faith that things could actually change…until one night when God broke into my own heart.

• What Is Spiritual Violence?

  By Susan Tyrrel • February 23, 2010 11:01 AM

  It’s not okay to be silent and claim peace in the name of tolerance and love. Increasingly, I’m struck by the passivity of believers on the issue of abortion.
  
  As I read John 17 the other day, a familiar verse took on deeper meaning for me. Scarcely a Christian alive doesn’t recognize that this is Jesus’ prayer for the unity of the believers when He says:

  I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. (John 17:9)

  When I read Jesus specifically saying His request was only for believers, I began meditating on this. I know many Christians who think that we should be peaceful at all times, including being silent about abortion. They tell me we have no right to judge what another person does as long as we don’t do it since we know it is wrong.

• Red Lights And LIFE Prayers

  By Christina Martin • February 18, 2010 12:17 PM

  I had an ingenious idea this morning. You know those red lights? The ones that stop you in your tracks when your least expecting it. You’re soaring down the road, blasting your favorite tunes, hoping to get to work before the boss sees your cubicles empty. You're right about to pass through the promised land, when the beautiful yellow turns a darker shade. “Noooo!!! you cry..not red..ahh!”. Next thing you know that 20 second pause turns into an eternity of waiting...
  
  This morning I was in that predicament when a thought came to my mind.  "What if I prayed the LIFE band prayer”?  It was a new and quite wonderful thought. I saw the light (no pun intended...ha), glanced down at my LIFE band and before you know it I was praying for the ending of abortion.
  
  I realized something today when I was staring at a box of life bands. On the package plain and clear it proclaims  "Bound 4 Life Covenant“….

• Turning On The Light

  By Susan Tyrrel • February 12, 2010 03:51 PM

  Lately, I have been a bit baffled by the extent of anger creeping up against those of us who are pro-life. It seems to have shifted from a political debate on the pro-abortion side to a war cry. Previously, I wrote about the protesters at our Houston Siege, but it’s not stopped there. While in Washington, DC at the March for Life, Bound4LIFE director Matt Lockett noted that suddenly there was a smattering of protesters there who had not been there in years past. Carrying signs such as “Keep Abortion Legal” and “Save Roe,” Matt pointed out that it seems even they know this will be overturned. In Houston, one protester repeated over and over “We’re not going back. We’re not going back.” His calculated declaration spoken almost in monotone remained in me. It was the tenor of their cry.

  Recently I had a personal experience of this sort. A group of anti-Christian pro abortion folks found our Bound4LIFE site and started leaving comments that were twisted, at best. Turns out most of them are associated with some pretty fringe anti-Christian ideas, even Satanic in some cases, that use mockery and out of context Scripture as a form of getting their message across. They all joined our site, for what reason, I can’t imagine, and seem to be intent upon watching us online.

• The Subtle Enemy

  By Susan Tyrrel • February 10, 2010 01:00 PM

  The first Holocaust is the one most people talk about still. Hitler. Germany. The attempted extermination of the Jews. It was, inarguably, one of the greatest horrors in this history of the world. That will never change.

  What has changed are the enemy’s methods.

  In Rees Howell’s Intercessor, the chronicle of Howells’ fight against Hitler and the Nazis through prayer strikes a familiar chord to those of us fighting the current holocaust attempting to exterminate a generation through abortion.

  A common accusation against people like me is that we exaggerate when we use terms like genocide or holocaust. First let’s look at those definitions. According to the Random House Dictionary, holocaust meanings include: “any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life.” Genocide means “the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.”

• Stand Or Fall

  By Susan Tyrrel • January 13, 2010 12:25 PM

  As we prepare to take a massive stand this weekend in Houston against the Planned Parenthood clinic being erected, my heart has been stirred by a Scripture that hold s a principle we in America often like to ignore.

  Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil. (Ecc. 8:11)

  In our nation, we have not begun to see trouble on a widespread basis. One reason 9/11 stunned us so much is because we felt invulnerable. It seemed unless we chose to go to war, we were immune. But just like war, sometimes if we don’t choose to go, we will suffer greater. A delayed judgment isn’t an absence of judgment.

  It can be easy, when years go by and we remain comfortable, to think that that judgment stuff is “Old Testament law” and since God is merciful and it will be okay. We say things like “I hate abortion but there are so many problems in the world, and we can’t fight them all.”

  But we can fight this...

• Saving The Status Quo

  By Susan Tyrrel • November 17, 2009 01:36 PM

  President Obama is arguing that it’s necessary to pull the Stupak Amendment banning federal funding of abortions because he doesn’t think we should alter the status quo. The definition of status quo is the existing state of affairs, the ways things are. With that definition, he is arguing against himself because currently my money does not pay for the shedding of innocent blood without my having a choice. The status quo, in this case, works for me.  There is a cultural definition of status quo that it appears the president likes better. It says:

  “The existing order of things; present customs, practices, and power relations: ‘People with money are often content with the status quo.’ ”

• Prayer Surge for Health Care Bill

  By Matt Lockett • October 21, 2009 04:31 PM

   On Monday the Senate Finance Committee’s health care bill was filed in the Senate. Take a look at the 1,502 pages, and it’s what you won’t find that is so unsettling. To date every single attempt by pro-life lawmakers to insert language that guarantees what President Obama promised has been blocked or voted down. That promise from his speech to the joint session of Congress was that there would be:

  “No government funding of abortion.”

  The Committee’s bill has no language that expressly prevents the inclusion of abortion under government-run health care. Disinformation and confusion persist even as polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans DO NOT want taxpayer-funded abortion.

• Doctrine Of Demons

  By Ian Kelly • October 14, 2009 03:21 PM

  We (Bound4LIFE) are a prayer focused organization. It's what we do. It's who we are. Before anything else, we believe that prayer is our greatest weapon in the ending of abortion AND we believe firmly that history belongs to the intercessor!

  Needless to say, when I hear "ministers" praying for God to bless abortion doctors and nurses and enable them to continue to provide abortion services to all women, I get more than a little creeped out.

  “Gracious and loving God, be with all of those brave souls who make abortion possible. Hold them in your loving embrace and keep them safe— doctors, nurses, clinic staff, administrators, janitors and counselors and receptionists—all those who labor to provide abortions to those in need. Bless them and keep them safe from harm and harassment, intimidation and fear. Hear us, O God, as we lift up our voices to you, and say in all your many names- Amen.”

• New Data Confirms Dramatic Shift To Pro-Life

  By Matt Lockett • October 02, 2009 06:00 PM

  Last night CNN ran an extraordinary report called "Abortion support falls sharply, new research finds." In it they cite a new Pew study released yesterday that strongly reinforces research that emerged at the beginning of the summer showing that the majority of Americans have switched from being pro-choice to being pro-life. This dramatic shift in public opinion marks a turning point in the nation and the abortion debate. Intrigued by this unexpected turn, Pew Research conducted a more in-depth study and released a six-page report breaking down the pro-life shift in detail.

• Get Ready NOW- "First of All" is Almost Here

  By Matt Lockett • July 25, 2009 01:24 PM

  We are in the final days of working out the bugs of a new interactive website called "First of All." In 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Paul wrote to Timothy, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--for kings and all those in authority..." A few months ago the Lord began to speak to us specifically about how He wanted prayer for members of Congress. Now it's one thing to pray for them all together as "Congress," but it's its an entirely different feat to pray for them all individually by name... All 535 of them!

• Oh, Canada!

  By Ian Kelly • May 14, 2009 05:13 PM

  Bound4LIFE has exploded recently, especially in Canada! And as a result the media is drawn to our stand. That’s not to say that the media likes us – no. On the contrary, they don’t. But they do like the way our red LIFE tape looks on camera. Seriously, that’s totally fine. Without meaning to, the media speaks our message to an entire nation. It’s brilliant, really.

• Mr. Obama, We Agree.

  By Ian Kelly • May 08, 2009 04:21 PM

  That, I think is the kind of justice that I’m looking for — somebody who respects the law, doesn’t think that they should be making law ... but also has a sense of what’s happening in the real world and recognizes that one of the roles of the courts is to protect people who don’t have a voice.

• Slaves And Jews

  By Ian Kelly • May 05, 2009 05:04 PM

  Many people in the church today would say, “If, I were alive during the time of slavery I would be apart of the Underground Railroad. Absolutely, I would have helped the slaves.” Or some might say, “If, I were in Nazi Germany I would have helped hide the Jews. Yes, I would help the Jews anyway I could.”

  Bottom Line: It’s not enough to simply say you oppose abortion...

• Taylor's Story

  By Ian Kelly • December 16, 2008 03:07 PM

  The following story was sent to us last Friday and is posted with consent.

  “I am sixteen years old. My sister found out she was pregnant on November 17. Although she was scared out of her mind, she knew she would love the baby. On Wednesday last week, she started to bleed. The doctors told her not to worry, that sometimes that happens. When she started to clot, we knew something was wrong. My sister may have only known she was carrying a gift from God for a short time, but she loved the baby from the beginning. We found out on Sunday that she miscarried. Seeing her breakdown like that, and holding her to let her know that she wasn’t alone, made me think about Bound4LIFE. I haven’t had much to do with it, but a few of my friends had. My sister was going to be a great mommy. And although the baby wasn’t planned, she made the right choice to keep it. How can someone else make the other choice? Tiffany and I chose Sunday to become active in Bound4life.”
