'Not On My Watch': Activist Mommy Fights for Family, Faith, and Freedom - CBN News


ABOVE: The "Activist Mommy," Elizabeth Johnston, talks with Pat Robertson about her new book,
Not On My Watch, on Tuesday's 700 Club.
'Not On My Watch': Activist Mommy Fights 
for Family, Faith, and Freedom
02-18-2019
Elizabeth Johnston, known as the Activist Mommy to her millions of online followers, has amassed over 70 million video views on social media while speaking passionately on controversial cultural issues. 
Her new book, Not On My Watch: How to Win the Fight for Family, Faith, and Freedom– written in her characteristically no-nonsense style – is meant to equip Christian moms, dads, grandparents and Millennials to tackle the current cultural issues of natural marriage, free speech, the sexualization of children, abortion, and gender erasure.
"If you are tired of your values being trampled, then you must tread beyond your home and the four walls of the church to impact your culture for God," says Elizabeth. "Our nation suffers from an open wound called sin, and God wants to use us to bring healing. May a movement of men and women shake off the fear of man and rise to the great task of preserving our nation and rescuing future generations."
From the mom who exposed Teen Vogue and launched the global Sex Ed Sit-Out movement comes a page-turner that is sure to convict and inspire like no other. As a mother who has made Christian activism a calling for her life and her family, Johnston courageously defends the timeless truths of God's Word throughout Not on My Watch.
She exposes a growing trend in schools where teachers are telling students that they can be whatever gender they feel like. "It's a perfectly normal, healthy option they say," she tells CBN. "They are absolutely wreaking confusion and havoc on this generation. They are radical cultural Marxists who have every intention of changing the fabric of our nation and ensuring that our children do not hold our values. That is why I'm a huge homeschool advocate."
Now Johnston tells CBN Founder Pat Robertson about her latest cause – to battle the horror of New York state's radical new abortion law through prayer and repentance at nationwide rallies this weekend.
"This Saturday, the day of mourning is being held across this nation. We are calling America to repent over the 46 years of bloodshed. We are asking Americans to wear black, to not shop, to close down your businesses for the day, and to repent for the sin of abortion," she tells CBN. "You know the Benham Brothers. We have them speaking. Black conservative David J. Harris will be speaking. We're holding a huge flagship rally that's already sold out, in Albany, New York, right in the epicenter of where Governor Cuomo signed and celebrated that outrageous, infanticide law."
"We're gonna be right there, in the convention center underneath the state house where they signed that law," she said. "And we are owning this sin, even as God's people, if you've never committed an abortion, there's a sense in which we have been completely complicit, completely silent, we have not been the Good Samaritan that we must be, and so we have to own this as God's people for allowing this bloodshed for 46 years. And we're gonna get on our faces before God, thousands of people, and repent for the sin of abortion."
Johnston is an activist vlogger who educates and inspires the public on the burning social and moral issues of the day that are important to families. She and her husband, Patrick, who is a medical doctor, author, and movie producer, have been pro-life ministry leaders for many years and home educators to their ten beautiful children. 
The growing threat to America's children and the vicious attack on religious liberty is what dynamited Elizabeth out of her comfort zone to inspire a nation of belittled conservatives and Christians to "come out of their closets" and boldly take their country back. Elizabeth triggers the Left by confronting the lies of abortion, feminism, Islam, and the homosexual agenda with wit and snark as only she can, and she regularly posts viral commentary videos, which have netted over 70 million views.
Elizabeth has been featured on many major media outlets, such as Fox & Friends, the New York Times, TheBlaze, and the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), as she has become a thought leader on topics of importance to families. The pulse behind all her activism and cultural commentary is her love for her family and her Savior, Jesus Christ.

Millions of Women Will Be Haunted by This Come Christmas - SHAWN CARNEY CHARISMA NEWS

Millions of Women Will Be Haunted by This Come Christmas

SHAWN CARNEY  CHARISMA NEWS
It was early morning on Christmas Eve. We were newlyweds, had no kids yet and were pulling out of the driveway to head to my wife's parents for Christmas.
"We should drive by the clinic, just in case" my wife Marilisa said.
"No," I rebutted, "Come on, surely not today; they're closed."
My gut sank as I pulled around the corner and saw Planned Parenthood's gate open. This was their regularly scheduled day for abortions, and I naively thought they would be closed. I was wrong. Marilisa and I spent much of the day offering alternatives on the other side of the fence.
Nobody grows up wanting an abortion.

Women do not leap out of their cars and scream about reproductive rights as they enter an abortion facility. They don't quote Planned Parenthood, celebrities or political talking points. And when they are leaving, the last thing they will do is "Shout My Abortion," as Oprah is encouraging. No, they're not even thinking about Oprah, as surprising as that might be to her.
Abortion is no longer rhetoric at that point; it is real and final.
I've heard hundreds of testimonies from women who have had an abortion, and they always remember the date of their abortion and their due date if they were given one. There is one thought that covered me that entire Christmas Eve we spent counseling (and beyond): These women will remember their abortion every Christmas for the rest of their lives.
Christmas and abortion just don't pass the gut check, even for those who support abortion.
There is one consistent exception to that: Planned Parenthood.
Their cold and disconnected approach to women and abortion is highlighted at Christmas. They believe abortion to be a sacrament celebrated on any unborn baby on any day of the year. Just last year, a new Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Texas started doing abortions the week of Christmas. Not the traditional Christmas grand opening.
Planned Parenthood must remain sterile, insensitive and loud when defending abortion ... and this is good news for the pro-life movement. Abortion simply cannot be justified in the face of science, reason or faith, and its current defense proves that. Abortion advocates are louder than ever.
Yet the noise is off-putting.
The pro-life movement is filled with converts—those who've had an abortion, those who've worked at Planned Parenthood, and doctors who've done abortions. It is truly a movement of converts, and therefore of hope.
And noise is always silenced when opposed with hope.
Planned Parenthood can attempt all they want to use Christmas to normalize abortion or make it seem like any other surgery. But nature and the human heart will beg to differ.
As we celebrate Christmas and enter a New Year, and as we gather in January at the March for Life in Washington to mark 46 years of legalized abortion, there is more momentum in the pro-life movement than ever before. Despite those 46 years, this movement—built on science, reason and faith—gets younger and more motivated by the day.
There was noise surrounding the birth of Christ: an unexpected pregnancy, exile and poverty.
That noise was silenced by the hope from the baby in the manger. The peace that comes with Christmas came through the womb and overtakes the noise. The noise distracts us from the fear and anxiety that leads to abortion, from the barbaric reality of the abortion itself and from the pain that follows.
Christmas does the opposite—it silences, reveals and restores our flawed view of life, ourselves and each other.
As Fulton Sheen wisely put it, "The Christmas gift of peace was the uncoiling of the links of a triple chain that first unites a person with God, then with himself, then with his neighbor."

President Trump to Address Friday's 'March for Life' in DC
CBN News 01-17-2018
President Donald Trump will address the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. live from the White House Rose Garden on Friday.
He will become the first sitting US president to speak during the event in the March for Life's 45-year history. 
"Since his first day in office, President Trump has remained steadfast on his campaign promises to the pro-life cause and has actively worked to protect the unborn," Jeanne Mancini, the organization's president said in a press release.
"Over the past year, the Trump administration has significantly advanced pro-life policy, and it is with great confidence that, under his leadership, we expect to see other pro-life achievements in the years to come," she continued.
President Trump will headline this year's lineup of pro-life leaders speaking at the March for Life, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, Pam Tebow, Matt and Adrianna Birk, U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, Bishop Vincent Matthews Jr., and Sister Bethany Madonna.

More than 100,000 Americans are expected to travel from across the country to Washington, D.C. for this year's March for Life.  
The theme of this year's March for Life is "Love Saves Lives."

Israeli society sometimes fails, but Yeshua's love never will! - ONE FOR ISRAEL





Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom!


Our campus is a reflection of the cultural diversity found in Israel today. There are people from all kinds of backgrounds, from many different countries of birth. As followers of the Messiah Yeshua in Israel we celebrate unity in diversity, bringing riches from around the world.

Last weekend, the Ethiopian Jewish community celebrated the festival of "Sigd" which celebrates receiving the Torah and longing for Jerusalem. For those Ethiopian Jews who have finally made it to the Promised Land, it's a day of great rejoicing. However, life isn't always so easy for African Jews when they arrive in Israel, as Avi explains...


THE ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITY IN ISRAEL

Approximately 140,000 Ethiopian Jewish people live in Israel today, about a third of whom were born in Israel. The majority came in the massive airlifting operations of 1985 and 1991 - Operation Moses and Operation Solomon - helping them to "Make Aliyah" (return to Israel) collectively in the thousands. However, the culture shock and transition has proved extremely challenging, exacerbated by the racism they have subjected to on their arrival. There have been some significant problems such as poverty and unemployment among many Ethiopian families and communities as a result. 


SUPPORTING THE NEEDY - HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AND PRO-LIFE FAMILIES

 
Many people live in poverty in Israel, particularly among the elderly and those who survived the Holocaust. We provide food packages to Holocaust survivors on a regular basis, taking provisions that they can enjoy at home and also blessing the social club where they meet and find support. Over the holiday season, we took them special holiday gifts, which brought lots of smiles!

Additionally, as part of our humanitarian aid program, we help Pro-life families who choose to keep their babies, providing practical support and help when circumstances are overwhelming. These families struggle to put food on their table, and we come alongside to help and support those who have chosen life.

One Pro-life family we help has five children and recently had no food in their fridge or food for their baby. On top of that one of their children was diagnosed with a severe infection and was hospitalized. The mother contacted our team from hospital and asked for immediate help with basic food items for her family before the Sabbath started and they would not have food for the weekend. We were able to offer support and immediate help. Please pray for S. their son who needs healing!

Another family we help has six children and the Father recently was imprisoned for four months leaving the mother on her own struggling to survive. Our team was able to visit the mother and provide all the basic baby food and items as well as provide basic food items for the family and provide support and love. Please pray for T. as her husband is in Prison and her family depends on her. 


Ethiopian Jews in Israel







"You must tell them the truth, the reality of the situation", said my Ethiopian friend, when I asked her what she wanted the world to know about Ethiopian Jews in Israel. And it's a tough reality, but not one without hope. 
God is at work in every part of Israeli society, and the gospel is reaching Ethiopian Jews in all sorts of ways - especially the younger generation. Continue reading...


Should Believers In Jesus Follow The "Weird And Primitive" Laws Of Moses? Why Did God Gave The Torah Anyways?


When we journey back over the millennia into the ancient Near East, we enter a world that is foreign to us in many ways. Within this context, God raised up a covenant nation and gave the people laws to live by. As we'll see with regard to servitude, punishments, and other structures, a range of regulations and statutes in Israel reveals a God who accommodates. Yet contrary to the common Neo-atheists' caricatures, these laws weren't the permanent, divine ideal for all persons everywhere. A new, enduring covenant would be necessary. Continue reading...
