“For where envy and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:16-18

Detractors are not a surprise, the fact that they profess to be Christians is. But when we realize that the very same battle happened  before, it’s to be expected. There was rebellion in Heaven. Satan could not run the rebellion by himself because he is not omnipotent and we discover that one-third of Heaven was as sinful and vicious as Satan. If God , Himself had warfare in Heaven ,why would any of us be immnune?

Fact: babies are alive today; babies that would have been murdered through abortion because of the efforts of Angela and Daniel Michael and their "help women, help the unborn" ministry known as Small Victories. This selfless couple has, for years, helped thousands and has even gone so far as to adopt two abortion bound babies into their own family.

Now, it has come to my attention that Small Victories is under attack. They are, among other things, being accused of financial impropriety and, those who would destroy them have even gone so far as to put up a website devoted to that goal. Further, they've contacted would-be donors and have even run ads in the Belleville News Democrat. All this under the guise of Christian love and correction.

Two things. Since this is supposedly a "Christian" matter, it should have been handled in the church. Secondly, the accusers are faceless, nameless, anonymous. Like those who don masks or hoods to do their dirty deeds, they avoid confrontation and the essential American underpinning of being able to face your accusers. My advice to them is…man up. Tell us your names and boldly come before the judge with your case. No business of ministry is beyond examination. But, to cast stones from afar, from behind your barricade of darkness…is cowardly. And to the rest; check out for yourselves this important ministry in our midst.
