I don’t mind that the BGCO spoke into the political discussion, I wish more would. I don’t even mind that their conclusion is different than mine.

Pastors of Idaho Mercy Statement (update)
As of 12:00 noon on February 21, 2019 there are 109 pastors from 55 cities from across the state of Idaho who have signed the “Pastors of Idaho Mercy Statement”. I’m thankful to God for this. Here is the full statement with names of pastors who have signed the statement. Pastors of Idaho Mercy Statement…
Definition of “Induced Abortions”
What “medical” procedures need a qualifier of “legal”? Obviously, the full definition of “Induced Abortion” needs this qualifier to keep the conscience at arms length, quiet, and sitting in the corner. If the definition of “Induced Abortion” by the Idaho Health and Welfare did not include the word “legal”, no one with an awakened conscience would allow this to continue as it is. The word “legal” is more like a gag and a blindfold for the conscience of our community.
In Wrath Remember Mercy
This past week on the weekly Pastors Round Table, with Bear Morton, Christopher Folkers, and Keith Thompson (no relationship) we had the opportunity to speak about the Pastors of Idaho Mercy Statement. Listen here to the conversation, pray for our state legislators, pass this on to a pastor you know, encourage them to sign this…
Pick Up Your Pen
That may not make sense in a digital day like ours, so let me put it another way; pick up your phone, yes the one in your pocket, on your belt, in your purse, borrow your child’s phone if you have to. A bill is underway in the Idaho legislature in the House of Representatives…
Just Because a Politician Says Something Doesn’t Make It True
I don’t doubt the sincerity of someone like former president Jimmy Carter. His sincerity is no reliable gauge to know the difference between right and wrong. This clip from a larger interview at Huffington Post is an example of the kind of damage that can be done by someone who has influence, claiming to be…
The Tale of Two State Governors
Last week, August 16, 2017 Oregon Governor, Kate Brown, signed HB 3391 giving all residents in Oregon the burden of paying for all abortions. Today, August 25, 2017 South Carolina Governor, Henry McMaster, signed executive order removing the burden from all tax payers of paying for abortions and defunded Planned Parenthood and all abortion providers…
Can You Call a City a “Welcoming City” While Planned Parenthood Murders Unborn Babies
As long as Planned Parenthood is allowed to do business as usual within the region, no document declaring Twin Falls a “Welcoming City” can be taken seriously. It is a flaw in logic to say we welcome all while at the same time being silent about abortion. Planned Parenthood is not an official function of the…
Is There No Conscience In The Nation Today?
Just getting caught up on the political news of the day… Wow! Donald Trump grew up all of the sudden and then, like a politician driven by popularity, backed off a logical conclusion amid political pressure. Showing he is more a politician than he wants to admit. His initial response to one of the best…
This Is Problematic
Just a few moments ago the Twin Falls Times News just posted an article on a disturbing development from the governors office. Otter Wants Lawmakers to Study Faith Healing and Child Deaths… (for clarity – I’m not opposed to the state’s duty to protect all life even if it investigates people of faith and I…
