"Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."

Good Saturday Morning to you, my dear brothers and sisters. I wanted to keep on with the Lord's Prayer so I can get it all finished by the end of next week. So I asked God to give me a message for today. Today I am going to ask you to take some serious time in prayer about abortion. As you know I am pro-life, 100% of the time. No back and forth, no what if it a rapist's child, no what ifs. Now I do think most of you knew that, but did you know that there were over 1,000,000 unborn babies murdered in the United States of America last year? Yes, count the zeros, it is ONE MILLION. That is over four times the number of people that were killed in Haiti a month ago in the earthquake. Brothers and sisters, each and every one of us was upset about what happened on 9/11/2001, and we should be, but so many people think it is ok to kill an unborn just because they are not wanted. Maybe a hair lip or maybe a twisted arm, or maybe a girl got in the motherly way from a man of a different color or nationality. Do you know that if you would take dog or cat that is expecting a litter to a vet the vet would not murder the animals, yet we kill babies like they are nothing. Some will say it is not murder, yet if a person shoots a lady who is expecting and both the mother and child die, two counts of murder, my friends, in our court system. I am going to be very, very bold here. I cannot see our Father in Heaven letting this go on much longer. Sometimes we wonder about those big storms that hit the United States and some people think, where is God now? Or listen to me here... If we were not killing off babies, would God let a cure be found or heal all those with cancer and heart problems? Our last president, George W. Bush, was pro-life, and he love Jesus and he told people that and people seem to hate him. Forget about republicans or democrats, we need some people who RESPECT THE LIFE OF OUR UNBORN CHILDREN. Pray for those unborn and pray for people to run for office who are pro-life for both Congress and the White House.

Dear Father in Heaven, please, please, please help us to put a stop to abortion, not just in the United States, but worldwide. Help us to respect life... In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Journey 51: Matthew 6:9 - "Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 10 Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." (KJV)

Today I want to bring out the part of the prayer where we ask for our food. Matthew 6:11 - Give us this day our daily bread. Brothers and sisters I wonder if God might be thinking HOW DARE they ask for food when they keep killing off babies, and killing people in street murders and killing people with cars as they drink and drive and also talk on phones and drive.. But aside from that, what if God just gave us our daily bread? Manna from Heaven and we had a diet of daily bread, fresh bread each day with extra coming on Saturday so we could gather it for Sunday. What if when you went to the store there were rows and rows of bread but no milk, no eggs, no butter, no ICE CREAM, no meat, meaning no ribs, or wings or steak or burgers. No fresh fruit, no pasta, nothing but bread... boring!!

God has promised if we believe He will supply all of our needs, and it goes far past just bread when it comes to eating, we have water and more to drink, we have clothes on our backs that are beautiful and He gave us what is needed to make them including the brain power of people to tailor them to the right fit. When you think about how often you might sit down and eat and not take time to even say a short prayer like Thanks for the Food. Dear Lord. When people eat they should give thanks to God and to others, like a prayer saying, Thank You God for the food, and for the farmers who grew it and as my good friend Oliver Ogden always prays, thanks and bless the hands that made it.

Folks, I must tell you, and don't think me wrong about this, we have a food pantry to help others and we serve God doing that. At our big food distribution day before Christmas this past year we had over 100 families, that is over 100 families receive food. A few said thanks when their cars were loaded, most did not and with the 35 families that we delivered food and toys to in the city of Harrisburg, there was not one, NOT ONE, thank you, that came for the workers where we were asked to go and that included their top administrator, some of the parents of the kids said thanks, but few, and some of the kids said thanks, but most after they were reminded to do just that. God must be disappointed in a lot of us, let me tell you that I know in my younger days He could not have been happy with me.

Brothers and sisters, please take time to thank God for the things He gives you including your food. And take time to share some of it. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
