Confronting Evil

 

   “Just as you do not know how the life breath enters the human frame in the mother’s womb, so you do not know the work of God, who is working in everything.” (Eccl 11: 5) 

   I’ve watched over the last days as the pro-abortionists have demonstrated over their belief that the Supreme Court is about to overturn Roe vs Wade and abolish abortion.  First the opinion leaked does nothing the abolish abortion, it returns the decision to the states.  Second, it sickens me that these people are so adamant that they be allowed to kill unborn babies for their own convenience and try to call it a right.

   More and more it is becoming vital that those of us who support the unborn, who believe all life is sacred from conception to natural death, become more vocal, more public in our beliefs.  I’m not encouraging anyone to protest anywhere, but to openly support life as they claim to.  The struggle can’t just remain in the churches, it must be public.

   Will this bring condemnation of pro-lifers?  Probably, but we already considered backward, racist, homophobic, xenophobic and most any other derogatory term you can think of, so one more won’t hurt.  Perhaps they will come up with a new label just for pro-lifers; I welcome it.

   These days society is very quickly destroying any semblance of morality or humanity.  Nothing matters but the misguided so-called freedoms being demand.  The blessing of human sexuality has been perverted beyond recognition; death is the answer for unexpected pregnancy and for the elderly who have become a “burden” on society.  The right to do whatever one desires to do, regardless of God or anyone's moral objections has become the new norm.

   The time has come, and in fact is past, for Christians to stand in the breach against evil.  Not violently, not with name-calling and insults, but with the love of God and prayer, never backing down from our beliefs.
