PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO. Thank you. During Tony's recent trip to Cazenovia Village Baptist Church (one of his supporting churches), in the Syracuse, NY, area, Tony spent a morning outside of the Syracuse Planned Parenthood. Tony was joined by Chris Fisher (a deacon for CVBC), Zack Fisher (12), and a brother in Christ named Noah. It was a relatively quiet morning at the abortuary. It seemed that most coming to the place of death were there to receive birth control and/or "counseling." Tony and the others distributed literature to those making their way up and down the sidewalk. Tony preached to an abortuary staffer and a "deathscort," as well. In this video, Tony begins by reading Scripture to the staffer and deathscort. Not long after Tony finished reading Scripture, a sergeant with Syracuse PD arrived to answer a complaint call. As you will see in this video, the sergeant was professional and personable. In the end, we were allowed to continue our activities unhindered. There will be some Christians who will be uncomfortable with this video. There will be some who will insist that my interaction with the deathscort was "unloving." Contrary to the before-mentioned opinions, my interaction with the deathscort was very loving. It was loving because I was confronting him with his sin--the participation in the murder of unborn children. It was loving because I called him to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ--repentance of his hatred for God and people, and faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. At the very beginning of the video you will see a middle-aged man slowly walk in front of me. He is a Christian who is part of a pro-life organization called "Ten Good Men." Prior to the time chronicled in this video, we took time to pray with this man and another man who had come to the location with him. We believed them both to be Christians and so felt comfortable praying with them. Toward the end of the video, the same man walks slowly behind me and whispers, "We're not here to point fingers." I immediately corrected him by assuring him we were indeed there to point fingers. Earlier in our conversation with the two men from "Ten Good Men," we assured them of the vital importance of prayer, in abortuary ministry. We encouraged them to pray without ceasing and we welcomed their prayerful presence at the abortuary. Sadly, the man's "not here to point fingers comment" was a sad commentary on the state of much of what is called "pro-life" ministry: a fear of man that produces spiritual impotency. What the pro-life movement needs isn't ten self-professed "good men" who are afraid to open their mouths to call murderers (including pregnant women) to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. What the pro-life movement needs is tens-of-thousands of courageous, straight-spined Christian men who, with their prayers, bring their voices to abortuaries.
