abort (verb) - to cause to cease or terminate.

To abort or not to abort...that is the question. But what is the answer? I mean, the right answer? Whether you ask an unbeliever or sadly, even professing Christians this question, the answer varies. It seems odd that a Bible believing Christian would support the "choice" for a woman to abort, that is, terminate the life of her unborn baby, but many professing Christians have no problem with this. Why? I believe it is because both professing Christians and unbelievers have been deceived by the devil to think that because we cannot see life and because this life is not ready to be birthed from the mother's womb, the baby is not really alive. But how can something or someone that is growing and developing be dead? Have you ever seen anything in all creation, a plant, a virus, an animal that was dead, continue to develop? No. Only that which is living is capable of growing and developing, just as the baby in the mother's womb does, unless the baby's growth and development is aborted -- terminated; killed.

Who defines life? God defines life, because God is life.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
~John 1:1-4

When does life begin? A person is either alive or they are dead. There is nothing in between. Life is not a process, but an event. You either are a living being or you are not. Just as death is a one time event, so is life.

"For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me when as yet there were none of them."
~Psalm 139:13-16

Please watch this short, 33-minute movie, where you'll see 8 adamantly Pro-Choice people become Pro-Life, in just seconds! This vividly intense documentary shares the truth about abortion, it’s affect on the morality of our nation and people just like you and me. Because the issue of morality was brought up by some of the interviewees, a clear and biblical Gospel presentation is also included in this movie.

I found 180 to be a passionate and intellectually gripping movie. Ray Comfort, Founder and President of LWP, presents the viewer with a perspective on abortion that speaks directly to the condition of a person’s heart, rather than keep abortion at a comfortable, political distance. Ray Comfort opens the movie with a stern warning that history will be repeated, if we aren’t wise enough to educate ourselves and learn from it. and help spread the word.

Please visit Heart Changer to support the cause of speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves (Prov 31:8-9).




Please join me in prayer that God will use this movie to open the eyes and ears of all those who have been deceived.







Hello sweet and faithful friends!

Some of you are new to me and others have been traveling with me since I first starting blogging, 3 years ago! Well, sometimes change can rattle things up a bit, but for the most part, change is often good.

With that said, I wanted all of you to know that my URL has changed from www.aboutmyfathersbusiness.net to www.sunnyshell.org. It's a lot easier to remember and will afford me to creative freedom to change the title of my blog as God continues to transform me more into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ and enables me to write more content for His glory alone.

Google subscribers will automatically be re-directed. If you subscribe through another reader, you may have to manually re-subscribe.

I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble for you and I hope you will continue to journey with me as I strive to live my utmost for God's highest.

May the LORD's grace and peace be with you all!

True and False Conversion
Is your assurance based on your own convictions; a prayer you said one day, or are you resting your assurance in the Person of Christ alone and what He said and did?

Unfortunately, our country is brimming with beautiful church buildings, both large and small that are filled with false converts, birthed through the preaching of the false gospel which only makes a person feel good, yet void of the power to make a person be good. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anyone can ever be good, for only God is good (Mark 10:18). But what I am saying is, upon true conversion through faith in Christ alone, God imputes the righteousness of His perfect, one and only begotten Son upon a wretched soul.

Prior to salvation, no one has the choice to please God, that is, do good. Of course, people are able to do some "nice" things for one another, but since God alone is good, anything or anyone absent of God, is absent of good (Hebrews 11:6). It isn't until a person is truly converted, that they have the freedom in Christ to obey and please God (Romans 6:22). Without Christ, we are all slaves to our sinful flesh (Romans 6:17).

Please, please do not rest your assurance of salvation on a confession you made one day. Rather rest your assurance in Christ alone; convinced that you deserve to suffer the eternal wrath of God for the heinous crimes you've committed against Him, trusting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God descended from Heaven, lived a perfect life, was crucified and died to take your punishment, resurrected on the third day to prove He alone is God and alone has the power to lay down His life and take it up again (John 10:18), ascended to Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Matt 26:64).

There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation. So please, test yourselves, not by your standards or words, but by God's standards and words....from His holy Scriptures. Claiming that you "know" Jesus will not save you from the wrath to come. But Jesus saying that He knows you...will. The question is, does He?

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and do many mighty works in Your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’ ... Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
~Matt 7:21-23, 2 Corinthians 13:5
If you're genuinely concerned about your salvation because all you have to point to is a confession you made one day, please watch this video and share it with others you love.









Devotional: Mornings with Tozer

Christ, The Blessed One




Matt 11:29-30
"Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and my burden light."

I feel great sorrow for those who read the Sermon on the Mount and then conclude that Jesus was providing a word picture of men and women comprising the human race. In this world, we find nothing approaching the virtues of which Jesus spoke in the Beatitudes.

Instead of poverty of spirit, we find the rankest kind of pride. Instead of mourners, we find pleasure seekers.

Instead of meekness, we find only arrogance, and instead of hunger after righteousness, we hear men saying, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing."

Thank You, Father, for Your open-armed invitation for Your children to cast all of their worldly cares upon You. Lord, teach me now to trust You more deeply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How often do we read the Beatitudes this way? How often do our hearts echo the same self-assurance and self-applause of the "good" we think we've accomplished?

I know these things have been true in my life, more often than I care to admit. But I pray this same prayer that Tozer did...may God help me to trust Him and not my own reasoning for why I do, or do not do things.

The moment I consider what I think is right, and act on it, is the moment I have forgotten that Jesus is my Master and Lord.

"Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?"
~Luke 6:46
