“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

WHY I'M AGAINST ASSISTED SUICIDE

 “You see, the difficulty with making a decision [for assisted suicide] is that we’re not really sure what tomorrow is going to bring. We make a decision based on the grief of today.” —A quote from me in an interview a number of years ago. See at this link. WHY I'M AGAINST ASSISTED SUICIDE


I had been in an electric wheelchair for many years resulting from three decades with aggressive multiple sclerosis. My MS had moved from exacerbating-remitting to secondary progressive. By all medical wisdom, my prospect was continued degeneration and eventual institutionalization in a nursing home. As I said in the interview, I had no idea what

tomorrow would bring. Three years ago, the Lord raised me out of that wheelchair to stand on legs as thin as popsicle sticks—atrophied from years of being virtually useless. I walked again (albeit with a cane). I still am walking!
