TEXAS WON’T TOLERATE ANTISEMITISM

Discussed by Michael Letts
with IN-Vest USA (WWW.investusa.org/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Some are saying that unnecessary and excessive force was used by law enforcement to arrest protestors at UT. What is Michael’s opinion? Michael explains why law enforcement personnel always needs to be one step ahead over the criminals they encounter, saying: “You can always back off, but it’s hard to add on.”

Did the quick, overwhelming response by law enforcement catch the leftist agitators by surprise?

There have been other pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the nation. How were those handled? Can other universities learn from the leadership of the UT President?

Do journalists and photographers have a free pass to ignore police orders? Michael discusses Constitutional law regarding “freedom of the press”.

Is there documented proof that many of the pro-Palestinian protestors are paid?

DOES IVF CREATE MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT SOLVES?

Discussed by Kristen Ullman
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)

Should pro-life politicians show caution when they debate and vote on protections and regulations for IVF clinics?

Kristen Ullman is the current President of Eagle Forum. Today, Kristen discusses her latest op-ed: “Designed Babies”.

Click here for more from Kristen Ullman on this and other issues.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is IVF – in vitro fertilization? How many births occur each year through IVF?

Are there serious legal issues surrounding IVF? Kristen discusses the dangers of giving IVF clinics complete immunity from lawsuits or criminal prosecution, saying: “Location may matter in real estate, but it doesn’t matter with human life.”

Are there serious ethical issues surrounding IVF as well? Are too many “playing god”? Kristen compares choosing a specific gender or different traits for babies/children to cloning. Both are wrong and completely unethical.

Are there still too many unanswered questions surrounding IVF?

What is the average cost for IVF?

What are “designer babies”?

How should pro-life activists approach the IVF issue? Kristen advocates for love and compassion toward couples who so desperately want a child, but also urges us to warn of the dangers.

REVELATION: SEVEN TRUMPETS

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 1

Mark Lanier continues his lesson series on the Book of Revelation. This week, he looks at four of the Seven Trumpets written about in chapter 8.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is it so important to read the Book of Revelation with open eyes and an open heart? Should we also remember the culture and time that it was written?

How does Revelation compare to Pharoah’s visions and Daniel’s vision?

Why does Mark read Revelation in mini-vignettes, rather than a timeline-type of reading? Mark uses the sights and sounds and amazing acts of a circus to explain.

PRAYER

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

God, what do you see in me?

I mean no disrespect, but really, God, what do you see in me?

What did you see in Abraham?

What did you see in that murderous man Moses?

What did you see in the shepherd boy David?

What did you see in Saul, the persecutor of the early church?

Father, you are all-knowing, all-powerful, and the creator of all.

You can do more in a moment – in a flash – than mankind could ever hope to accomplish.

Despite my failings, you still love me.

Thank you, Father, for your unending love and care.

Father God, through your son, Jesus Christ, I surrender to you now.

Hear my humble prayer today, which is lifted to your throne room through the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen
