What Have We Done? 

   “God then said, ‘What have you done?  Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!” (Gen 4: 10) 

   God was appalled that Cain killed his brother Abel.  The blood of Abel cried out to God because of the injustice.  In our nation today, the blood of millions of babies murdered in the womb cry out to God.  He will not ignore their cries.

   Abortion is an abomination before the Lord!  In some states in this nation a healthy, living child can be killed even as it is being born.  If alive after a botched abortion the child can be left to die unattended: left alone to suffer and die in agony.  How can the cries of such children not reach the ears of God.  Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, “Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.  This is why the greatest destroyer of love is abortion.”

   Civilization has decried child sacrifice throughout history.  The pagans who sacrificed their children to false gods are seen as barbaric, and rightfully so.  In the United States today we are again sacrificing our children to false gods.  We do not sacrifice our children to Baal, the god of the Canaanites, or to the various other false gods whose followers offered their children in sacrifice.  We sacrifice our children on the altar of “free sex”, “personal choice” and all the other excuses used to kill innocent life in the womb.  We are sacrificing the innocent to satisfy our own perverted desires.

   I believe that this nation will suffer greatly for our rejection of God, for the wanton destruction of His children in the womb.  Their blood cries out for vengeance and God hears the pleas of the innocent.
