PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO.

I spent the morning outside the Family Planning Associates abortuary in Mission Hills, CA, with Don, David, and Daniel. We held signs, called out to the abortuary staff and men and women bent on murdering their unborn children, and prayed.

Something remarkable happened this morning. It was quite beautiful. You will see it at the 14:00 mark (no spoilers).

Additionally, we believe the Lord spared the life of at least one child this morning. Praise God!

In total, you will see Don and I have 11 encounters with various people entering the abortuary. The average time for each encounter was 21 seconds.

21 seconds.

Many Christians frown upon abortuary sidewalk ministry using various negative words to describe the activity--word like: confrontational, harsh, insensitive, judgmental, and unloving.

To those who say this, I must ask the following question.

When was the last time you tried to talk someone out of murder in 21 seconds?

Just 21 seconds.

It's easy to be critical from one's couch and laptop. It's easy to say, "Well, I would never do it that way," while doing nothing at all.

We are quite literally talking about matters of life and death. 

Sometimes the best you can do is plead, declare hard truths, and speak provocatively, all the while hoping the people will stop (even if they're angry) and engage us in conversation. Every second we keep them from opening the door to these houses of unthinkable horrors is one more second of life for the unborn child, one more second to try to reason with people bent on murder.

This morning, we only had 21 seconds.

Just 21 seconds.
