T4G Study Tour Series
CJ Mahaney’s blog has a round-up of these study tour videos. I hadn’t yet seen John MacArthur’s; he completely cheats, but shares an amazing story you’ll want to hear.
MacHeist Nano Bundle
Mac users will want to take note of this new MacHeist bundle. For just $20 you can get a load of great programs.
Black Children, An Endangered Species
Dr. Mohler: “Catherine Davis is a woman with a message, and that message is getting harder to ignore. “Black children are an endangered species. … Her argument is simple and the statistics are irrefutable. She accuses abortion providers in general, and Planned Parenthood in particular, of targeting blacks for abortion. She told The New York Times, ‘The impact of abortion has become so great that it has begun to impact our fertility rate.’”
Churchill’s Greatness
Kevin DeYoung looks at Winston Churchill and finds lessons in his life.

I liked the Mohler link. that is the untold story about abortion — that black children are taken at an unbelievably high rate. Now that’s race warfare and we who believe in justice should stand up for it. But when we do, we ourselves are called racist. Irony, isnt it?David Rupert, Red Letter Believers, “Salt and Light,” www.RedLetterBelievers.com
I love the videos of the studies. I have seen all of them! Hopefully they will show John Piper’s soon! You are right about MacArthur cheating though.
I’m not so sure there is a concerted effort by Planned Parenthood to target black children for abortion. It seems more likely that the fact more black babies are being aborted is a result of economic class and family structure. The article talks about most clinics being in “black” neighborhoods. Well, clearly they (PP) target lower income people with the clinics, trying to bring in those that are most likely to have an abortion. It seems like those in these poorer “black” areas may fit these parameters. Low income, single mother, etc. Color me skeptical on that aspect I guess. I agree with everything else said there, I just doubt there is an organizational goal to eliminate as many black babies as possible. I would focus my pro-life (and ultimately abstinence) messages on single black women in these areas, instead of going the route of “Planned Parenthood is Racist.” It’s certainly an evil organization, but this message may get people off track a little as they debate racism vs. not.
Leave it to John Macarthur to turn a tour of his library into a teachable moment. This is a guy that could make the yellow pages sound didactic.
About Margaret Sanger, you merely need to Google search Margret Sanger Racist and get results like this page….http://blackgenocide.org/sanger.html
And even Glenn Beck has named her as such…. if I could find the show back I would post links to it.
She believed in, preached, and lived Eugenics as a way of life…. Social Darwinism at it’s finest.
That Macheist bundle is worth it for Tales of Monkey Island alone! If only I hadn’t already bought it on PC… Any other Challies/Threepwood fans out there?
From what I can tell, Mohler et. al. are just mistaken. Check out the chart on this page:
http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/3002498.html
Not surprisingly, most abortions result from unintended pregnancies, and as the chart shows, African Americans have a much higher rate of unintended pregnancy. For unintended pregnancies the abortion rate among whites is approximately 50% and among African Americans its 60%.
Its worth noting that not only is the rate of unintended pregnancy higher among the poor, but also the rate at which unintended pregnancies are aborted. Given that African Americans are overrepresented among the poor, it poverty is the causative factor at work, then that could potentially account for the difference in abortion rates between the two groups with respect to unintended pregnancies.
When Mohler makes a comment like, “black women have approximately 37% of all abortions each year, while blacks make up only 13% of the national population,” and proceeds to extrapolates from it that the discrepancy is “clearly” due to Planned Parenthood targeting African Americans, he just looks silly. African Americans also make up a mind-boggling 85% of NBA players, and I doubt Mohler would chalk that up to malfeasance or racial targeting.
Tim, if you can get a hold of a Grace Community Church 50th Anniversary DVD, John MacArthur gives you a tour of his real study at his home. It’s basically just a tiny library, but it’s amazing to hear how he crafts his sermons and organizes his study!
I don’t blame Pastor John for telling that story though. This must be the 3rd or 4th time I’ve heard him tell it because it means that much to him!
