Words From Our Preacher

The pro-life, pro-abortion debate is again center stage because of politics. It should have never left the front page. Americans abort almost a million children every year. That’s a tragedy beyond imagination. Yet it is accepted as a part of our society. In time, we pray that historians will list abortion among the great civil rights debacles of our age. Proponents of abortion are a mixed lot. Some allow for early abortions, before quickening, others to the point of viability

Let this sink in… 862,320 dead. 862,320 people dead in one year. That’s five times as many deaths as we have had in the U.S. from COVID19. 61,628,584 dead. Let that sink in…61,628,584 people since 1973. That’s three times as many as died in World War 2. It’s twice as many as the population of Texas and ten times the population of Alabama. These numbers are not from an uncontrollable outbreak of a mysterious illness. These are deaths from abortion in the United States through

Recent legislative actions leave Christians aghast at the possibility that a child, delivered alive, could be killed without legal punishment. At the same time, some state legislatures are resisting federal courts and asserting their right to govern their states without interference from those courts. They are crafting very restrictive laws which would limit or abolish abortion for all but the most narrowly defined cases. They hope to force the U.S. Supreme Court to review th

Tom Trinko at American Thinker has a powerful, clear-headed post about abortion in light of the Irish abortion vote. I highly suggest you read it from top to bottom. Let me whet your appetite with a three of his quotes. “Hence, when you hear all the rejoicing on the left that Ireland has decided to legalize abortion, you need to understand that leftists are cheering for the legalized killing of the most defenseless human beings in the world.” Another: “…leftists believe that

When Does Life Begin? Is there an objective, testable point at which life begins? Philosophers struggle with this question. Scientists struggle with this question too. Many in the pro-abortion camp argue that life begins late in gestation, perhaps as late as birth. Some argue for late-term or even partial-birth abortions. These procedures are done well beyond the accepted dates of viability. Supporters of these procedures must affirm that life begins at birth and not before.

Moral Issues Are God’s Issues Our support of moral issues is predicated on Biblical teaching. We support what God has taught and dare not support what he condemns. Paul says God has spoken to us through his Spirit and  that the Spirit has searched and knows “the depths of God”  (1 Corinthians 2:6-13). It is this same Spirit that guides men into truth (John 16:13) and moved holy men to compose the books of the Bible we have today (2 Peter 1:21). We can no more jettison clear B

Guess we shouldn’t be surprised, Satan himself is often disguised as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). I’ll let this article speak for itself except to say that wickedness knows no bounds. There may be some tidbits of good here but, really? Planned Parenthood Holds Prayer Service As always, your comments are welcomed. #Abortion

Tolerance is an important buzz-word in American culture. We are taught, encouraged and cajoled into being tolerant of every odd idea that appears. There is no greater complement among some than to be thought a tolerant person. Tolerance has become the holy grail of our godless society. The idea of “live and let live” has been corrupted into a an unholy mantra which demands acceptance and even support of immorality and unrighteousness. We must be tolerant of those who choose t

President Obama gained a reputation as a supporter of abortion, even of the horrible partial-birth abortion. A year ago he called for supporters and opponents to find common ground on the subject of abortion. That was a speech  that never really made sense to me. I don’t think we have common ground with those who support abortion. In my judgment it is a gross sin and objectively wrong. It is a horrible human / civil rights assult against the weakest among us. Supporters belie

There is troubling news today about teen pregnancies and the rate of abortion. A new report suggests a rise in pregnancies and abortions although the long term trend remains downward. I’ll let you read it for yourself at TIME.COM. But we should be reminded that we all need to remain vigilant and maintain open lines of communication with our young boys and girls. The answer to abortions is not legislation but solid moral training at home. Parents who wait for the schools or th

Abortion is probably the single most polarizing discussion in America. Few people are in the middle and most have staked out their positions long ago. Still there are frequent debates. Conservative Chuck Norris entered the fray with an article entitled “Away with the Manger.” In it he suggests that abortion may have been driven in ancient days by a desire to avoid stoning for immorality. Norris’ suggestions are pretty wild but are nothing in comparison to Left-wing talk show

There are few things in life that I am certain about but abortion is one of them. It’s just wrong. Now comes word that a nurse was forced to assist in what turned out to be a non-emergent abortion even though the nurse had serious moral issues with the procedure. I’d suggest you read this post about being forced to assist an abortion and follow the links to check things out for yourself. Despite promises to the contrary, radical politicians and radical feminists continue to d

It’s been a couple of weeks since abortion provider George Tiller was gunned down while serving as an usher in church. As we have mentioned before George Tiller should not have been killed. He was a man caught up in an evil way of life to be sure. Why the Lutheran church was using him in such a public role despite his well known, unrepentant reputation as a third trimester, partial-birth abortion doctor is still odd and hasn’t been talked about much. But regardless his life w

The slaying of George Tiller has caused an odd twist in the abortion debate. Those in favor of abortion rights are complaining about the taking of his life while some in the pro-life community have taken a more relaxed few of his murder. To be fair, those opposing abortion who accept murder are very few but their existence is highlighted by left leaning reporters and give the false impression that all of us approve of murder. Also, those who support abortion do not all suppor

Dr. George Tiller was no hero. He routinely took the life of unborn babies. Specifically, he was one of the few U.S. physicians who performed late term or partial birth abortions. Tiller was a part of what is perhaps the most shameful aspect of our present culture. He was gunned down on Sunday while serving as a church usher. CNN is reporting that a man has been arrested in the slaying of the abortion doctor and will be arraigned later today. I am sure there are extremists wh

President Obama has nominated federal judge Sonia Sotomayor to become the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Typically, Christians are quick to analyze the prospective justice’s view on abortion – usually. Only in this case there is a problem. Judge Sotomayor has never directly ruled on abortion or a woman’s right to choose life or death for her unborn child. In fact, some leftists are concerned that she may not be liberal enough on abortion. The question of whether Sotomayor i

Abortion is the sleeper issue of the present administration in Washington D.C. Recently President Barack Obama spoke at Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic university. He touched on abortion in his speech. President Obama called upon people to stop demonizing one another in their debates and disagreements. Joe Palmer at Wishing for you a better life now and in eternity suggests that the President is being selective in singling out words that disagree with his position especially on

President Barack Obama, less than a week into his presidency, as released your tax dollars to promote abortion. No one can say they are surprised or caught unawares for this is precisely what the candidate promised to do during his campaign. Christians were unhappy to hear his political promises then but should be outraged now that as President, he is using your taxes to support organizations that promote the taking of human life. In a statement to the media the President not

The debate over the creation, harvesting and use of embryonic stem cells may be a little closer to becoming moot. An embryonic stem cell colony magnified Researchers have found a way of reprogramming cells to carry out different functions. The research in mice essentially eliminates the need for embryonic cells which have been hotly debated for years. Embryonic stem cells are the most basic, original cells created when life is formed in the womb. Pro-abortionists and many sci

Human life is given by God and should be viewed as a divine gift. Sadly, some view abortion as a viable alternative to self-discipline and restraint. I read an article at another blog which may be interesting to you. We commend it to your reading as well as the article it references.
