Quotes by John Whitman (?)

“All throughout Scripture we find the Love of God for the nation’s children. His love has not changed. I declare in the name of the Father that the murdering of unborn children must not continue to be condoned in this country. If we would”

“For a good long while, I ignored His command. Then I learned the hard way that the Lord will not be avoided, controlled, or silenced. Not ever and certainly not in such a season as now. The more I ran from the idea, the more it forced its way into my head until it began to dominate my mind. Like Jonah, I continued to run. I begged the Lord for some other calling, a different task.”
