In response to Covid-19 (the Coronavirus virus), Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on March 9 and issued Executive Order No 20-72 on March 20 which ordered all elective medical procedures in Florida to be postponed, but abortions have continued. As of March 24, the coronavirus has killed 17 individuals in Florida, but abortionist killed over 4,200 babies between the state of emergency declaration and March 24 and over 760 babies between your Executive Order No 20-72 and March 24 and have continued to kill over 190 babies every day since March 24. These babies were denied their God-given “right to enjoy and defend life” as guaranteed by the Florida Constitution!
This week, we’re heading to Tallahassee to meet with Florida representatives, senators, and in some cases, their aides.
In today’s sermon, you will see an expanded version of the presentation we will give to these representatives. In this sermon, we will apply biblical principles to government to see what God’s word says prolife legislation should contain and not contain. We will look at protecting preborn children in the womb, preborn children in laboratories, the disabled, and the elderly. We will examine why human life should be protected, what prolife laws should not include, rape and incest exceptions, life and health of the mother exceptions, and the necessity for legislators to have the courage to do what is right. We will examine the Pain Capable Bill, the Parental Rights Bill, the Disability Abortion Bill, and the Final Disposition of Fetal Remains Bill.
Shouldn’t our laws protect every innocent human being, without exception?
November 3, Floridians will vote to either add or not add six amendments to the FL Constitution. In today’s sermon, we cover Amendment 1 and 2 which deal with prohibiting non-citizens from voting as well as a proposal to raise the minimum wage in Florida to $15 per hour. Today, we look at these proposed constitutional amendments and apply Biblical principles to determine which way we should vote.

Opening Passage — Psalm 149.
A 60 percent supermajority vote is required for the approval of any amendment to the FL Constitution.
Biblical Principles
Our Constitution and Laws Must be Based on God’s Law – Deuteronomy 4:8 — “And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?” (NKJV)
Proposed Constitutional Amendment 1, Article VI, Section 2 – Citizenship Requirement to Vote in Florida Elections
What the Proposed Would Do: Amendment 1 would amend Section 2 of Article VI of the Florida Constitution to state that only citizens of the United States who are 18 years old or older are qualified electors in Florida.
The Florida Constitution currently says, “Every citizen of the United States who is at least eighteen years of age and who is a permanent resident of the state, if registered as provided by law, shall be an elector of the county where registered.”
Under the ballot measure, the Florida Constitution would say, “Only a citizen of the United States who is at least eighteen years of age and who is a permanent resident of the state, if registered as provided by law, shall be an elector of the county where registered.”
A “yes” vote supports amending the Florida Constitution to state that “only a citizen” of the U.S. who is 18 years old or older can vote in Florida.
A “no” vote opposes amending the Florida Constitution, thus keeping the existing language that says “every citizen” of the U.S. who is 18 years old or older can vote in Florida.
How The Amendment Reached The Ballot: Citizen Initiative, funded by the Committee Citizen Voters, Inc.
Biblical Principles
The Same Law — Leviticus 24:22 – “‘You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the LORD your God.’” (NKJV)
Deuteronomy 31:12-13 – “Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, “and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.”
What the Proposed Would Do: Amendment 2 would increase the state minimum wage from $8.56 in 2020 to $15.00 in 2026. Under Amendment 2, the state minimum wage would increase each year as follows:
$10.00 on September 30, 2021;
$11.00 on September 30, 2022;
$12.00 on September 30, 2023;
$13.00 on September 30, 2024;
$14.00 on September 30, 2025; and
$15.00 on September 30, 2026.
Beginning on September 30, 2027, there would be an annual adjustment to the state minimum wage based on increases to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).
A “yes” vote supports the initiative to increase the state’s minimum wage incrementally until reaching $15 per hour in September 2026.
A “no” vote opposes the initiative to increase the state’s minimum wage incrementally until reaching $15 in September 2026, thereby keeping the current minimum wage of $8.46 per hour.

Biblical Principles
Deuteronomy 24:14-15 – “You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. 15 Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; lest he cry out against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.” (NKJV)
Malachi 3:5 – “‘And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien-Because they do not fear Me,’ Says the LORD of hosts.” (NKJV)
Proverbs 16:26 – “The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on.” (NKJV)
Parable of the Workers in the Vinyard – Matthew 20:1-15 – “‘For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and said to them, “You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.” So they went. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, “Why have you been standing here idle all day?” 7 They said to him, “Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.” 8 So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’ 9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11 And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, 12 saying, “These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.” 13 But he answered one of them and said, “Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 ‘Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’”
Honest Money – Leviticus 19:35-36 – “You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.” (NKJV)
Competing Views on the Minimum Wage Law – John Morgan, Amendment 2 sponsor and chair of Florida for a Fair Wage, said, “Years ago in the south they said the economy will not work if we don’t have slaves. They were so adamant about it they went to war over it. They fought each other to own people. What’s going on in America today is we’re paying people slave wages and I’m ready to go to war for that.”
Seventy-one years ago this month — in January 1948 — a black, 17-year-old high school dropout left home. The last grade he had completed was the 9th grade. He had no skills, little experience, and not a lot of maturity. Yet he was able to find jobs to support himself, to a far greater extent than someone similar can find jobs today.
I know because I was that black 17-year-old. And, decades later, I did research on economic conditions back then.
Back in 1948, the unemployment rate for 17-year-old black males was just under 10 percent, and no higher than the unemployment rate among white male 17-year-olds.
How could that be, when we have for decades gotten used to seeing unemployment rates for teenage males that have been some multiple of what it was then — and with black teenage unemployment often twice as high, or higher, than white teenage unemployment?
Many people automatically assume that racism explains the large difference in unemployment rates between black and white teenagers today. Was there no racism in 1948? No sane person who was alive in 1948 could believe that. Racism was worse — and of course there was no Civil Rights Act of 1964 then.
How then could there be this low unemployment rate, with virtually no racial difference? Racism is despicable. But that tells us nothing about what weight it has — compared to other factors — as a cause of particular social problems such as unemployment…
In the United States, what was unusual about 1948 was that, for all practical purposes, there was no minimum wage law in effect. There was a minimum wage law on the books. But it was passed in 1938, and a decade of high inflation had raised money wages, for even low-level jobs, above that minimum wage.
Among the effects of a minimum wage law, when it is effective, is that many unskilled and inexperienced workers are priced out of a job, when employers do not find them worth what the law specifies. Another effect of a minimum wage law is that it can lead to a chronic surplus of job applicants.
When an employer has 40 qualified applicants for 20 jobs, it costs the employer nothing to refuse to hire 10 qualified black applicants. But if he has no more than 20 qualified applicants, that is a different ball game.
The point here is that economic factors carry weight, and sometimes, under some conditions, those economic factors carry more weight than racism…
In the United States, as the minimum wage rate specified in the law began to be raised, beginning in the 1950s, so as to catch up with inflation and then keep up with inflation, the minimum wage law became effective in practice once again — and a racial gap in unemployment rates opened up and expanded.
As a black teenager, I was lucky enough to be looking for jobs when the minimum wage law was rendered ineffective by inflation. I was also lucky enough to have gone through New York schools at a time when they still had high educational standards…”
The Reward for Diligence in Work – Proverbs 10:4 – “He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.”
The Reward for Excelling – Proverbs 22:29 – “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”
Thursday, May 7, 2020, is the National Day of Prayer. In 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, we read, “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (NKJV)
If there has ever been a time in America’s history where we need to turn back to God, this is the time! Will you join Personhood FL in crying out to God on behalf of America? Will you pray to end abortion? Will you pray that all innocent human life will be protected in your city and county, in Florida, in the United States, and even throughout the world? I urge you to cry out to God on the National Day of Prayer and every day for this nation that we love so dearly.
As you participate in these events, ask the organizers if you can collect petition signatures for the Florida ProLife Personhood Amendment Petition. This will put legs to your prayers as we work to end abortion and protect all innocent human life.
Over 70 National Day of Prayer events are scheduled across Florida, and there is a live stream National Day of Prayer event from 8 – 10 PM EST that you can participate in if you don’t live near one of the scheduled events. View National Day of Prayer Events in your area, and join us in pleading with God to send us revival lest we perish in our sin.
On Palm Sunday, we
commemorate the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Often, we think about this as a
historical event, but I want to ask you to apply these passages to our lives
today.
In this sermon, we
examine Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His warning to the Jewish
people, His longing to take their children under his arms, and the marked
change of events when the same people who praised Christ, cried out,
“Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
As we apply these
passages to our current day, we compare the Scribes and Pharisees to people
living in our day; we compare the warnings of Jesus to our generation. In
particular, we examine Christ’s warning that on this generation that the guilt
of all of the bloodshed since the foundation of the world would come on that
generation and compare the blood guild of over 66,000,000 preborn children
killed by abortion whose blood is currently crying out for vengeance, and we
examine the horrifying words of the Jewish people to Pilate: “His blood be
on us and on our children.”
What if the Lord
requires of our generation the blood of over 66,000,000 preborn babies
slaughtered by abortion. What if we say, “If I had lived in the time of
slavery, I would have been an abolitionist” yet lift not one finger to
help preborn children killed by abortion? What if Christ wants to gather us
under His wings, but we refuse? What if we cry out: their blood be on us and on
our children?
May the Lord convict
us of our sins and grant us repentance that we might turn from our wicked ways
so that our nation and children can escape the fierce wrath that hangs over it.
Sermon: On This Generation
On This
Generation
Opening Passage — Psalm 100.
Hosanna to the Son of David – Matthew 21:1-16 – “Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, ‘Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “The Lord has need of them,” and immediately he will send them.’ 4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5 ‘Tell the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.”’ 6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!’ 10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, ‘Who is this?’ 11 So the multitudes said, ‘This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.’ 12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer,” but you have made it a “den of thieves.”’ 14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant 16 and said to Him, ‘Do You hear what these are saying?’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Yes. Have you never read, “Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise”’?
On This Generation –Matthew 23 – “Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. 4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6 They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, “Rabbi, Rabbi.” 8 But you, do not be called “Rabbi”; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. 16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say, “Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.” 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And, “Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.” 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, “If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.” 31 Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!”’”
His Blood be On Us and On Our Children – Matthew 27:15-26 – “Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?’ 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. 19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, ‘Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.’ 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release to you?’ They said, ‘Barabbas!’ 22 Pilate said to them, ‘What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?; They all said to him, ‘Let Him be crucified!’ 23 Then the governor said, ‘Why, what evil has He done?’ But they cried out all the more, saying, ‘Let Him be crucified!’ 24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, ‘I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.’ 25 And all the people answered and said, ‘His blood be on us and on our children.’ 26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.”
In response to Covid-19 (the Coronavirus virus), Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on March 9 and issued Executive Order No 20-72 on March 20 which ordered all elective medical procedures in Florida to be postponed, but abortions have continued. As of March 24, the coronavirus has killed 17 individuals in Florida, but abortionist killed over 4,200 babies between the state of emergency declaration and March 24 and over 760 babies between your Executive Order No 20-72 and March 24 and have continued to kill over 190 babies every day since March 24. These babies were denied their God-given “right to enjoy and defend life” as guaranteed by the Florida Constitution!
Please sign the petition below to encourage Governor Ron Desantis to halt all abortions in Florida immediately!
Preborn Baby in Utero
Since it is never necessary to kill a preborn baby by abortion, every abortion is elective. Governor Desantis must halt all abortions in Florida immediately!
People all over are preparing for the coronavirus. How should we prepare for the coronavirus? If you were to contract the coronavirus and die, would you be prepared to meet your maker? Should we prepare physically for the coronavirus? Should we prepare to turn back to God both individually and nationally? Should we prepare to trust God? Today, we examine these questions and look to the Bible for answers.

January 22, 2020 marks 47 years of child-killing in America. Forty years is a Biblical generation. We have killed preborn children in America for more than a generation. It is time to end abortion and protect all innocent human life, without exceptions! It is time for the church to rise up and end abortion.
When I think about 40 years, I am reminded of the children of Israel. God delivered Pharaoh and his army in the red sea and promised to give Israel the land of Canaan, but the Israelites doubted whether God could deliver them from the giants in the land. That generation wandered in the wilderness until all of the men of war had died, and a new generation arose to possess the land.
I Am the ProLife Generation
In 1973, God called for His church to end abortion, but most Christians didn’t even know what abortion was. If it weren’t for a few, faithful Catholics, we wouldn’t even have had a prolife movement. For over forty years, we have sat back and allowed over 66,000,000 preborn children to be slaughtered in our country. Some of those who have been faithful have died or are near the end of their lives. It is time for a new generation to rise up and put an end to abortion and protect all innocent human life.
January 22, 2020, marks the 47th anniversary of the dreadful Roe v Wade decision that has resulted in the slaughter of over 66,000,000 preborn baby girls and boys in America. Many Floridians will take part in the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. There are several events throughout Florida though where prolifers will gather to remember the babies who have been lost and stand for life. We encourage you to make plans to attend one of these events near you in all Florida Counties including Broward, Duval, Indian River, Leon, Orange, Pinellas, Sarasota, St. Johns, and St. Lucie Counties.

On this day 18 years ago, terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and had another plane on the way to the White House that was brought down by brave passengers. The attack was the largest attack on US soil in the history of America. Americans and the world mourned the loss of nearly 3,000 in this attack.
World Trade Center Attack
Ironically, approximately the same number of Americans have been killed each and every day through abortion. Too few mourn their loss. Even fewer fight to end the shedding of innocent human blood.
On this day 10 years ago however, a few Floridians met in Tallahassee to file a constitutional amendment petition to establish legal protection for all innocent human life! Though we have yet to succeed in that effort, we are committed to fighting this battle until every innocent human being is protected.
Today we remember the blood of over 65 million preborn girls and boys that have been slain on the altar of convenience. It is time that we end the shedding of innocent blood and establish legal protection for all from fertilization to natural death.
“When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. 16 ‘Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together,’ Says the LORD, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; 20 But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword’; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 1:15-20 (NKJV)
