DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - The founder and CEO of the manufacturing company MyPillow is supporting a pro-life film. Mike Lindell invested $1 million into the upcoming pro-life movie Unplanned, which tells the story of ex-Planned Parenthood director turned pro-life activist Abby Johnson. Lindell also has a cameo in the film.
The Twitter page for Unplanned tweeted on Friday thanking Lindell for his support of the film. The tweet featured a quote from Lindell saying of his investment, "I'm pro-life and I'm happy to do it."

"I don't get into things for the money; I get into them if the message is right," Lindell said to The Hollywood Reporter.
MyPillow advertises often on Fox News and was started by Lindell in 2004. Lindell, an evangelical Christian and former drug addict, publicly endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 race, saying to Fox Business in October 2016, "I'm here to give all my credibility to Mr. Donald Trump. ... He'll be the most amazing president this country has ever had."
The Better Business Bureau pulled MyPillow's A+ rating in January 2017, two months after Trump won the presidential election. When CNBC asked Lindell if he was punished for supporting Donald Trump, Lindell answered, "Absolutely."
Lindell was present at Trump's inauguration and received a lapel pin which read, "58th Presidential Inauguration January 20, 2017."
Lindell was invited to the White House in July 2017 and was seated next to Trump, who said, "I actually bought a couple of pillows and they're very good. ... I've slept so much better ever since."
In October, Lindell said in an interview with Right Side Broadcasting Network in Houston that Trump "was picked by God to run this country." Lindell also spoke at a Protestant gathering called Together2018, saying that he "finally surrendered to Jesus" on Feb. 18, 2017. Lindell also discussed his foundation which aims to help addicts and people affected by the opioid crisis.
The pro-life movie shares a title with Abby Johnson's book chronicling her transition from Planned Parenthood worker to pro-life activist after witnessing an ultrasound-guided abortion at 13 weeks gestation. Johnson converted to Catholicism in 2012.

Not In A Million Billion Years :: By Dave Hubley Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) Several years ago, I had a conversation with a guy in a waiting room while getting an oil change (in the car, not me). I don’t recall exactly how the conversation originated or how it progressed, but I have never forgotten it. As I recall, it had something to do with evolution and an article that was contained in a “waiting room magazine” that was available there. He made the observation that God was “something that man had made up.” I can’t recall the exact reason he used to justify his opinion, but it had something to do with the usual reasons people give: Weak-willed people needing a crutch, and blah, blah, blah. I engaged him in a “witness,

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th
