Remember the Poorest, the Persecuted, & the Unborn

The Poorest

We desire to boast only in the cross by seeking to be a church who is obedient to Galatians 2:10: “Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.”

We desire to do this by seeking to care for the poor in our congregation, the poor in our neighborhood, and the poor around the world.

Worldwide, about 16,000 children die daily from food related issues. And they need Jesus. How will you spend your life and money?

Please pray that God would show us how to get involved in showing mercy to our community and to the world for His glory, for the salvation of lost souls, and for the good of our neighbors’ physical needs.

Please pray we would obey James 1:27: “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

Please pray that we would “care about all suffering around us, especially eternal suffering” – John Piper

Hear this excellent word about true worship and how much more blessed it is to give than to receive.

Please listen to this excellent sermon on Christian giving and on using your resources to glorify God!

The Persecuted

We desire to boast only in the cross by seeking to be a church who is obedient to Hebrews 13:3: “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”

Please visit The Voice Of The Martyrs, The Voice Of The Martyrs Blog, World Watch List, World Watch Monitor, or Morning Star News for more information.

 

The Unborn

We desire to boast only in the cross by seeking to be a church who seeks to love unborn babies and hurting parents and by seeking to be obedient to Proverbs 24:11: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.”

and  Proverbs 31:8-9:  “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973 about 55 million babies have been killed in the United States alone.  About 1 million babies are killed every year in America by abortion.

Abortion is the murder of an unborn baby.

If you have had an abortion or encouraged a woman to have an abortion, we want you to know that we love you, and we want to help you find grace, forgiveness, and healing through the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are all sinners, and anyone who turns from their sins and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved, totally forgiven, and washed clean by the blood of the Lamb – you are not condemned because Jesus was condemned in your place on that cross and rose from the dead so that you might be saved!

Please read this and this if you struggle to embrace and feel God’s forgiveness for your sins.

If you are pregnant and need help, please contact us or visit one of these two crisis pregnancy centers for help:

  1. Alpha Pregnancy Center
  2. Hope Pregnancy Center

We are an official chapter of Speak For The Unborn, and we seek to rescue babies for Jesus by going to an abortion clinic in Olney in order to pray and plead with parents not to kill their babies, offer them the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ, and offer them alternatives to abortion like adoption.

If you’d like to come with us as we seek to rescue babies and help parents, meet at 239 West Chew Ave. Phila, PA 19120, every Friday at 8:15am, or just meet us at 1335 West Tabor Road in Philadelphia at 8:30am. Please pray with us that God would shut this clinic down (and all abortion clinics!) for the glory of our great King Jesus and the good of parents and babies everywhere!

Please watch this video to learn more about the ministry we do outside the abortion clinic in Olney:

  • Christ Loved His Enemies Though We Hate, And Turned From God Like Reprobate; In This Is Love He’d Demonstrate, The Wrath Of God In Fullest Weight; Would Fall On Christ To Devastate. He Died For Sinners Rose Up Great, To Change Our Hearts And Kill Our Hate, By Faith Alone New Life Create, And In His Love We Satiate. Now Love Like Him Who’d Liberate, Our Perfect Father Imitate, Who Loves The Good And Bad Who Hate!

  • Christ Gave Us More Than Tooth And Eye; God’s Perfect Justice Magnify. We Take And Take “For Me!” We Cry, But He Gave All For Sinners Die, And Bore God’s Wrath Forsaken Why; So It Is Finished Risen High. Now Death Shall No More Terrify, By Faith Alone He’ll Justify. Our Heart’s He’ll Change And Purify; All Selfishness We’ll Crucify, To Give And Give And Glorify. Our God Alone Will Satisfy!
    Joseph Randall, February 7, 2021
  • Jesus Spoke What’s Good And True. He Is The Truth; The God-Man Jew, Who Lived And Spoke Like No One Knew; And Our God Swore To Send Him To, Bear God’s Wrath For Me And You. He Died To Hell And Sin Undue, But Now He’s Risen; Death Is Through. By Faith Alone We’re All Made New; Reflecting God In All We Do. We Tell The Truth And Lies Subdue; In All His Glory We Pursue!

  • Christ Will Never Divorce His Bride. He Loved And Served And For Her Died, Then Rose Ensuring She’d Abide, In Him Forever By His Side; So When We Marry He’s Our Guide, By Faith Alone We’re Justified, And Selfish Pride Is Mortified, So Husbands Never Leave Your Bride; And Wives Be Faithful Don’t Divide. In This The Christ Is Glorified, His Name Be Praised By All Worldwide!
