Seasons
Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 23–24
John 15
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Ecclesiastes 3:1–14
I recently came across a helpful word: wintering. Just as winter is a time of slowing down in much of the natural world, author Katherine May uses this word to describe our need to rest and recuperate during life’s “cold” seasons. I found the analogy helpful after losing my father to cancer, which sapped me of energy for months. Resentful of this forced slowing down, I fought against my winter, praying summer’s life would return. But I had much to learn.

Ecclesiastes famously says there’s “a season for every activity under the heavens”—a time to plant and to harvest, to weep and to laugh, to mourn and to dance (3:1–4). I had read these words for years but only started to understand them in my wintering season. For though we have little control over them, each season is finite and will pass when its work is done. And while we can’t always fathom what it is, God is doing something significant in us through them (v. 11). My time of mourning wasn’t over. When it was, dancing would return. Just as plants and animals don’t fight winter, I needed to rest and let it do its renewing work.

“Lord,” a friend prayed, “would You do Your good work in Sheridan during this difficult season.” It was a better prayer than mine. For in God’s hands, seasons are purposeful things. Let’s submit to His renewing work in each one.

Father God, thank You for using every season for Your glory and my good. Amen.

...Forest fires are a change in the environment. Naturally, the land burns to establish an environment that will allow the process of evolution to take place, creating life forms that will cope with the changes in the atmosphere. Life forms get to exercise their coping mechanisms for global warming. The strongest survive. Plants equipped to survive the change are no longer pushed out but thrive. Forest burning is tragic but necessary. Intensity is off the charts where humans interfere with the forest's rate of change. ...

Federal Court hearings on Chemical Abortion Pills are underway, and your action is needed!

With the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals beginning hearings for the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine et al. v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, et al. case, America is finally learning how negligently dangerous, life-ending Chemical Abortion Pills were forced onto the U.S. market by the FDA.

Chemical Abortion Pills are evil, simply because they are responsible for the deaths of millions of preborn lives and 28+ women, but what else are these drugs doing?

Hank, they’re turning our national water supply into a cemetery!

So, if you and I want the distribution of these dangerous pills to stop, then it’s crucial for you to co-sign the Amicus Brief our attorneys have just filed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals immediately!

In our Amicus Brief, our attorneys expose how human remains and traces of abortion chemicals are flushed into the water system as a result of the FDA’s approval of Chemical Abortion Pills as most of these abortions take place on toilet seats – and wastewater treatment plants don’t treat for it.

That’s because the FDA NEVER completed and publicized a study on the environmental impact of these abortion pills!

By filing this Amicus Brief, we are calling for the approval of Chemical Abortion Pills to be REVOKED.

That will FORCE the FDA to show the American people how chemically tainted pathological waste in our waterways is harming aquatic, animal and plant life.

But I need your help to make it happen.

So, once you’ve co-signed this Amicus Brief, please make your most generous tax-deductible contribution of $100, $50, $25, or $10 to Students for Life today, so we can reach more people to gather more co-signatures.

Hank, the fact is, the FDA failed to check on government-sanctioned, corporate dumping of medical waste from Chemical Abortion Pills at least FIVE TIMES!

This has all led to the reckless distribution of these drugs.
