ALIVE AND KICKING ABORTION CAMPAIGN AND PETITION LAUNCHED

The Alive and Kicking Alliance launched its campaign on abortion with a fully updated website at:
www.aliveandkickingcampaign.org

Alive and Kicking brings together eleven organisations including Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship, Christian Medical Fellowship, ProLife Alliance, Maranatha, CARE, LIFE, and the Evangelical Alliance
With The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill about to be debated in the House of Commons, the Alliance aims are:
* A substantial lowering of the upper limit of 24 weeks for abortion
* An end to discriminatory abortion up until birth for disabled babies
* Fully informed consent for women contemplating abortion
The main features of the campaign are:
* An online data base of MPs past voting record and current voting intentions on abortion:
www.aliveandkickingcampaign.org/mp/searchmp.php

* A petition calling for reform of the abortion law aimed at gaining 100,000 signatures:
www.aliveandkickingcampaign.org/petition

* An online information pack for people to use in lobbying MPs:
www.aliveandkickingcampaign.org/public/pdf/aaklobbypack.pdf

Please do let people know about the campaign and in particular encourage them to:
* Sign the petition and print off a downloaded version for people in churches to sign and post in
www.aliveandkickingcampaign.org/public/pdf/petition.pdf

* Let us know their MPs voting intentions
voting@aliveandkickingcampaign.org

Targeting MPs Views on Abortion and Action Pack
As mentioned above, by using the database you can select your MP (by entering your postcode) and find out where they stand on abortion. There are some MPs whose opinions on abortion we do not know. If your MP is one of them please write or visit their surgery asking them specifically where they stand on abortion, and let us know their response. Please forward MPs’ responses to

voting@aliveandkickingcampaign.org

or 020 7407 6157
Note the majority MPs hold (how many votes they won their seat by in the last election), which you can find on the MPs’ database on the Alive and Kicking website. If they have a small majority work with the churches in your constituency to lobby your MP to represent your views on abortion in Parliament. If the number of Christians lobbying an MP is higher than the majority they hold, this may persuade them to represent your view in Parliament rather than lose their seat at the next election! You can lobby your MP using the Alive and Kicking Action Pack.

'Mystery worshippers' secretly visiting Shropshire churches have praised them for their sermons and warm welcomes.  The 13 inspectors, normally paid to visit shops posing as ordinary shoppers, said they were genuinely surprised by their visits.  Churches in Telford and Oswestry scored between 90 and 100% in tests, according to Heart of England Christian Resources Exhibition.  The aim of the test was to find out how churches could meet people's needs.  Mystery worshipper Mike Sadler, who lives in Telford, said although he does not go to church it was interesting to see how things have changed over the years.  Benita Hewitt, from the Christian Research Association which organised the study, said: 'Although the churches in Telford were given no advance warning, several scored more than 90%, with two achieving 100%.  Most of our mystery worshippers were genuinely surprised by the warmth of their experience in church and some were even keen to go back for more.'

Praise: God that when He is worshiped He will draw all men unto Him. (John12:32)

We have just produced a booklet entitled "Who is this God?" designed to help people understand the Christian view of who God is and what He is like. In this post modern age, people are bombarded with so many different perspectives of spirituality, yet often have very little understanding of the unique Christian view. This resource helps address this enabling people to really understand. There is also a multi-format cd available which presents the same concepts but using both audio and visual formats.
Individual copies of either cost just £1.95 and there are very substantial discounts available for bulk orders. (e.g. £75 for 100)
What's more the booklets can be personalised to include details of your church with logos, service information etc. With Christmas fast approaching this could be a great resource to give to visitors to your Christmas services, or what about using it during HOPE 08?

Well worth a look to see if there are Petitions that hold a biblical worldview and which could warrant your "signature"

Remember, too, that you could create a Petition yourself!

"The tragedy of this late hour is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.  Oh! the horror of it..."

Preaching without unction kills instead of giving life...  The Word does not live unless the unction is upon the preacher.  Preacher, with all thy getting - get unction...
Preaching is a spiritual business.  A sermon born in the head reaches the head; a sermon born in the heart reaches the heart.  Under God, a spiritual preacher will produce spiritually minded people...
Unction cannot be learned, only earned - by prayer...  Victory is not won in the pulpit by firing intellectual bullets... but in the prayer closet; it is won or lost before the preacher's foot enters the pulpit...
When the hammer of logic and the fire of human zeal fail to open the stony heart, unction will succeed."
 

"No man is greater than his prayer life...
The pulpit can be a shop-window to display one's talents, the prayer closet allows no showing off...

The pastor who is not praying, is playing; the people who are not praying, are straying...

We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters.

Failing here (i.e. in the place of prayer), we fail everywhere...
The ministry of prayer - the highest ministry of all human offices - is open to all...

To be much for God, we must be much with God...
The secret of praying is praying in secret.

A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.

We are beggared and bankrupt, but not broken, not even bent.
Prayer is to the believer what capital is to the businessman...
For this kind of prayer, there is no substitute. We do it - or die!
He who kneels before God will stand in any situation...

There are no reduced rates for revolution of soul...

This sin-swamped world calls for unction in the pulpit and action in the pew!
My reader, because the Church has lost Holy Ghost fire, men go to hell-fire!"
 

'Why revival tarries' by Leonard Ravenhill

"When God intends great mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying".
Matthew Henry

"When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposeth us all he can".
R. Sibbles
