IN MY LIFETIME, I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER LIVE TO SEE THIS


There are times, that even the sparrow's perch can't calm the outrage, and utter disgust I feel when confronted with the depravity of men. The secular humanists proclaim a doctrine of man being capable of rising to the pinnacle of moral character without the 'crutch' of religion or the wheelchair of law. In my lifetime on this earth, I've seen the complete opposite come to pass. Since I was born on a February day in 1955, I've seen the heights, and the lows men can attain when left to their own devices. Abortion, open homosexuality, euthanasia, terrorism, and global mass murder on an epic scale are all indicators of what a people bereft of God will do. A godless people will not rise to new heights, but will eventually sink to complete abandonment of any social decency.

In my short time upon this earth, I've seen what lows we can sink to when we abandon the moral compass provided to us by our God. I began my education, when there was still prayer in public school, when the pledge of allegiance was repeated by everyone. Since the Supreme Court ruled against prayer in public schools, I've seen abortion legalized, and even hawked as a business. I've seen blatant hostility by our government toward all religions, and I've seen every form of perversion given legal sanctuary based upon freedom of speech. BUT, This week, I found myself completely stunned, and unable to keep silent. This blog will not be political, even though it could. I won't rant on about God's judgment even though I could. Today, I'm going to scream from the top of my blogging lungs. “What are we thinking?”

About three weeks ago, I read an article online about two doctors who were touting infanticide. The moral debate wasn't about killing newborn infants, but how long after birth, were they deemed viable. I have to admit, at the time I read it, I thought it was two doctors from Europe. It was something I expected from Europe. I knew our doctors in America would not even open the discussion, that is, until I found out one of the doctors was from America. Then, this week, I read another story about the same doctors, and the nice medical term they've coined to soften the blow: After-Birth Abortion.

Let's get one thing clear, and make it absolutely crystal; to abort something is to end it before completion. The problem with adopting the term 'abortion,' is we are never completed. This complex creation that is uniquely us, is ever growing, ever changing, and never finished. So, once we make 'abortion' the acceptable term we use for medically ending all life, we will be forever under the threat of being aborted. If you think I'm reaching, we've already begun the fall down the slippery slope of killing one another off. We are like rats who've over bred, and have begun to eat one another. The economics of population growth will be determined by doctors, and lawyers who will determine your viability. As long as you are healthy, productive, and filling a needed place in the social structure, you will be allowed to remain alive. However, let you come down with any disease, genetic disorder, or lose limbs, you would become a drain upon the resources of society. Because medical care is doled out by the government, you will be denied care or at best your care would be dispensed over a prolonged period of time. If you think I'm crazy, google the London doctors who basically denied medical care to those they'd deemed incurable or terminal.

I'm wondering where the outraged mothers are? Where's the moral outcry? Where's the doctors who still believe in the Hippocratic oath? Where are the politicians swearing it will never happen here? Please, somebody tell me what is going on here?

I'm not living in fear, nor am I espousing fear. It is time for Christians to get off their couches and do the one thing that will change everything; PRAY. I'm not talking about that three second token prayer that basically says, 'do something God.' I'm talking about laying aside some time and going before the maker of heaven and earth and ask HIM to put an end to this, because it's obvious the politicians won't. They will eventually be worn down by those who reason murder away. How do I know this? (CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT!) The same thing happened when abortion was legalized as a means to control the African-American population in America. LOOK HOW WELL IT HAS WORKED! Unintended result, look at statistics and see how many white, middle class women have abortions. Aborting life for the sake of finances, ego, or social rejection, is the primary reason for an abortion. MONEY is always the bottom line.

So I guess my question is; how are we as Christians going to head this off? Are we going to wring our hands, and say how bad it is, or do we get down on our knees and bust heaven open about it? I hope we'll begin mass prayer meetings with the sole purpose of exposing this hellish idea of murder. I hope we'll stand against it with the same passion we defended the right of the owners of Chic-fil-a.

You see, being a sparrow in the temple of God, means that you see the continual parade of sacrifices brought to cover the endless barrage of sin. As a sparrow, you see the murderous heart of man in all of its various expressions. Globally, the murder of unborn people is higher than at any time in our history, but that isn't enough for those who seek to create a defect free society. Soon, those with dyslexia, genetic markers for heart disease, blue eyes, brown eyes, even those with the wrong color hair, will be aborted after birth. Heaven forbid you should be Jewish in the 1930's or 40's. History doesn't speak well for the decency of man, without God.

I pray this will be my last rant about this.
