	What Good Can Come From This Tragedy?
The horror of the Sandy Hook school massacre is the worst possible news for our generation. It is beyond comprehension. Among the many questions that are prompted by this tragedy is this one: "What is the prophetic significance of this event and others like it?" 2 Timothy 3:1-4 says. But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God... While this prophecy applies to ungodly behavior of people of all ages, the phrase "disobedient to their parents" shows that it is especially true of many teens and young adults. Of course, they are not intrinsically worse than previous generations, but they are the ones who have inherited an extremely troubled world, and understandably do not have much faith in a peaceful and prosperous future. Their temptations to addictive substances and immoral activities are intense. We have allowed God and prayer to be taken out of their education, and have handed them a world-view that denies absolute truth. Most of them do not know the Bible or have a personal relationship with Christ. They are the victims of the apostasy of our end-times generation. Though he was inspired to write these prophetic words, the Apostle Paul could not have imagined the effect that the violent media of this age, including some of the music, many of the movies, and most of the video games would have in searing the conscience of its young victims. On the other hand, if the Lord sends us the revival that we so desperately need and desire, young people will lead the way, or at least, be a vital part of such a wonderful event. There are already many promising movements that could lead to a full-grown "Great Awakening," and hundreds of thousands of young people who are faithful disciples of The Lord Jesus Christ." Let us pray earnestly for the families of these precious children from the Sandy Hook Elementary school, and for the families of the adults who died protecting them. And let us pray that the godly young people of our generation will lead the way in sharing the Gospel with their peers.

Oct. 12, 2012 - Canadian Education Minister Laurel Broten said at a recent press conference:

“We do not allow and we’re very clear with the passage of Bill 13 that Catholic teachings cannot be taught in our schools that violates human rights and which brings a lack of acceptance to participation in schools.”

Romney: I Won't Pursue New Abortion Laws

Oct. 10, 2012 - Mitt Romney, who has taken a strong pro-life position about abortion, has not said much about the subject recently, focusing more on economic issues. Recently he told the Des Moines Register, "There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda."

The former Massachusetts governor said he would instead use an executive order to reinstate the so-called Mexico City policy that bans American aid from funding abortions. President Barack Obama waived the order soon after taking office.

State Supreme Court says 'Roe' should be 'overruled'

Feb. 18, 2012 - The state Supreme Court of Alabama wants the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule the Roe vs. Wade concept that abortion-at-will is permitted before a fetus becomes a "person." Justice Tom Parker said,

“Since Roe was decided in 1973, advances in medical and scientific technology have greatly expanded our knowledge of prenatal life... allowing us to watch the growth and development of the unborn child in a way previous generations could never have imagined.”

Roe v. Wade opponents target Dallas for decision’s anniversary

Jan. 21, 2012 - There will be many "March for Life" rallies this week-end by pro-life/ anti-abortion demonstrators. A big one in Dallas has adopted the theme: “It began in Dallas. Let’s end it in Dallas.” Norma McCorvey, the homeless, unwed, drug-addicted and pregnant woman who was used by pro-abortion attorneys will be featured in the rally. She was given the fictitious name "Jane Roe" for the famous 1970 case, "Roe vs. Wade" that legalized abortion and led to "the American holocaust of some 55 million babies so far."

In 1995, McCorvey went from abortion clinic worker to asking Jesus Christ for forgiveness and eventually entering the Catholic church. Since becoming a Christian, she’s done everything in her power to make reparation.

It is interesting that McCorvey never had an abortion. She did give birth to three daughters and offered them up for adoption.

She also has a role in the upcoming sychological thriller, "Doonby."
