FORMER ABORTIONISTS SPEAK OUT

Discussed by Victor Nieves
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Two practicing OBGYNs once saw abortion as normal medicine. Then something happened that neither training nor politics could explain away and it changed everything.

Today on the What’s UP Radio Program, Dr. Catherine Wheeler and Dr. John Bruchowski join Life Issues President Victor Nieves discussing the moments that shattered the “fog", the cost of facing what they had done, what truth plus grace looks like for healing and action, and why they now speak publicly for life.

KEEP YOUR FORK

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So, as she was getting her things in order, she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. And she wanted to buried with a fork in her right hand…

CALLED. JUSTIFIED. GLORIFIED.

Day 5

WHY IS THERE SUCH A BIG DEBATE OVER PREDESTINATION AND FREE WILL? WHY SHOULD WE BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE SAY ABOUT THIS SUBJECT? WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?

This week, Mark Lanier continues in his series on the book of Romans, looking at Romans 8:29-30, where Paul specifically addressed this subject.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

GOD’S UNBREAKABLE CHAIN: CALLED, JUSTIFIED, AND GLORIFIED

Did Paul understand that God chose specific people to further His Kingdom? (Isaiah 45:22-25)

Why are we called to be children of God?

How are we justified?

Are you glorifying God every day?

What is NOT found in Romans 8:29-30?


POINTS FOR HOME

Sin is not our destination. Christlikeness is.

God’s plan for you is bigger than comfort.

Your future is so certain that God speaks of it in past tense!


EXTRA TOPIC QUESTION

Are you a predestination person or free will person?

Day 5

DOES IT BOTHER YOU TO KNOW THAT AS YOU DRIVE FROM YOUR HOUSE TO CHURCH ON A SUNDAY MORNING, THERE ARE HUNDREDS – IF NOT THOUSANDS – OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LOST AND MAYBE NEVER EVEN HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS WHO ARE SLEEPING IN THEIR BEDS, WORKING, OR AT THE BALL FIELD? WHAT CAN YOU DO TO REACH AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE LOST SOULS?

PLEASE NOTE: This sermon was preached on May 24, 2026 – Memorial Day Weekend.

This week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in the FIGHT series, reminding us that lost souls still matter. In fact, they should be our number one goal!

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PLEADING WITH THEM

This isn’t desperation. This isn’t even being “pushy”. There is an urgency because lost people are in a state of destruction! (2 Corinthians 5:20; Jude 23)

Heavenly Father, receive my praise and my petitions today.

I thank you for your overflowing grace and mercy towards me, for they are so abundant.

Direct and use me today. Expand my skills and abilities for your service.

You are the potter. I am the clay.

Mold me and use me to affect the most-good today.

May I not hinder or get ahead of you. May I be moved by the Holy Spirit.

Remind me, Father, to be kind and compassionate to those around me.

Holy Spirit, speak through me. Check my wrong steps, actions, and words. Lord Jesus, shine through me. Always.

O Father, bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory. May your hand be with me. Help me to avoid evil so I do not cause you pain.

May I never deny your precious son, Jesus Christ. Instead, may all I do and say shine a light on the Truth of the Gospel.

And, Father, if I am granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the resurrected Jesus Christ, who sits at your right hand.

Amen and Amen
