“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

BRITTANY MAYNARD AND THE ASSISTED SUICIDE LOBBY

Wesley J. Smith "Brittany Maynard Attacks Hospice Doctor Urging Her Not To Kill Herself", LifeNews.com, 28 October 2014

The link above will connect you to a revealing article by prolific American writer and author Wesley J. Smith. It is about the agenda behind the tragic case of terminally ill Brittany Maynard (29).  I ask readers of this blog to click on the link. Wesley Smith clears the smoke to reveal dark forces behind this sad case. Maynard is angry with palliative care physician Dr. Ira Byock for rightfully stating what proper hospice care can do for people with brain cancer.

I know this first hand: My mother had brain cancer (and bone cancer) both notorious for pain. She received first rate palliative care and died without physical pain and not in a drugged stupor. My mother was clear and pain-free to the end. She was not unique; she had a physician who knew what he was doing. It happens all the time. 

But the euthanasia/assisted suicide advocates do not want you to hear that and are using the Brittany Maynard case to try and silence that good news about dazzling strides in 21st Century palliative pain management. 

Groups like Compassion and Choices (yeah right) want the public
to have mental images of terminally ill people suffering unbearable pain, crying out for relief that doctors are unable to give, except through death.  It's a false image! That image is suitable to the 1970s not the 21st Century. If you know someone is is dying in great pain, they do not need assisted suicide or euthanasia, they need a new doctor.
