“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live…” Deuteronomy 30:19
Your life has been first ordained by God before the foundations of the world. So has your unborn child’s life. Regardless of your personal situation, your unborn child is innocent on all counts. Your life might be eight kinds of hell right now, but how is that the fault of an innocent unborn child to have to die for your sins?
We have a Redeemer in Jesus Christ who was chosen before Creation was created to die for our sins that we might be saved if we believe on Him. Jesus was innocent on all counts; He died without sin…perfect. It took a perfect sacrifice to atone for our evil, sinful hearts. He is the Sacrifice, not your unborn child.
Killing your child will not change your life for the better, but I assure you, your life will change.
Your tax dollars pays for abortions! Absolutely everyone in these United States pays for abortion through federal, state, sometimes city taxes, and health insurance premiums. You would be surprised who you are paying for:
Minor girls; through the public school system, Medicaid
Women on Medicaid
Women in the military
Women in prison; federal, state, county
Women in third-world countries
Federal employees
We can change the laws, change the president, change the Supreme Court…but until you change the heart of man to understand that life begins at conception, abortion will always be an option to everyone at any point of gestation.
Share Jesus with the pre-abortive mother and save both lives.
Absolutely every question you have, every life choice you’ll make is addressed in the Word of God. The dilemma of decisions and choices are addressed specifically with the story of Saul and David. Decisions and choices are better made with prayer and patience. In other words, be careful what you ask and pray for…you might just get it. The story of David and Saul is a story of making right decisions and listening to God. Telling God what to do does no one anygood but earnest prayer makes a way for God to speak to you.
‘And the LORD said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them’ (ref: 1Samuel 8:7).
Israel demanded a king…demanded. God told Samuel that the people, His beloved Israel, have rejected Him, they would rather have a king to judge and rule them. It’s easy enough to understand, Israel didn’t want the condemnation of God any longer. They somehow thought they could outrun God by having a man rule them. God told the people through Samuel what would happen! It would be certain that Israel’s choice to have a man rule them would be a disaster. The people chose Saul; God chose David. Had Israel been patient they wouldn’t have had to deal with all the years of Saul. What the people didn’t realize is that those years wasted on Saul’s rule were actually a time of preparation for the King that God had chosen. The people of Israel had to be prepared for what God had for them. (ref: 1Samuel 8:7-22)
So much of our lives on this earth would have been spared of so much grief if we would have petitioned the Lord and waited for His answer. How many lives could have been spared if men and women understood what fruit their ‘choice’ would bear in the future? The people wanted Saul; he was the ungodly choice. God chose David because He knows what’s best for us. Sin is a decision made to either be equal to God or to totally reject Him.
Abortion is not a choice; it’s an abomination that was brought about because sinful men and women couldn’t stand the conviction of God – the obvious result of an ungodly relationship, an innocent child. But notice the end of the David and Saul story, God had MERCY on Israel to give them David as king. After so much rebellion from His chosen people He still loved them enough to give them the right choice, His choice. For all of my Post Abortive friends, know that He has Mercy and has forgiven you! He has a better decision/choice for you….Life, abundantly.
Entering through the narrow gate makes demands on the person passing through. First, you must enter alone. You can bring no one else and nothing else with you. Baggage not required; lack of faith, worry, your past, grief, hate. What is the cost? What is needed to go through the narrow gate?
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”*
Don’t have to be rich; in fact Jesus said ‘sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me (Mat 19:21)’. That statement alone should not grieve you, it should relieve you. Finding out that there are no earthly goods needed is truly astonishing to the ‘rich’ man. ‘How can that be?’ the rich manwonders. While still on this earth, all that is needed is your faith, prayer and well shod feet; ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15)’. If money comes, then I assure you He has a mission for it before it ever touches your hands.
Jesus made the way to Him so easy. Life is precious to Him; every unborn child that will succumb to abortion, children gunned down at school, inmates on death row, murderers – everyone. ‘If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom 10:9)’.
The narrow gate is not so hard to go through. Bring nothing, He has everything. Do you hurt? He heals. Are you poor? He has a mansion for you. Are you hungry? You will never hunger or thirst again.
What could you possibly have that he wants? Faith alone.
What is Life? Scientists root around ancient burial grounds, archeological digs and other planets scouting around for Life. And not just dinosaurs….microscopic, sometimes single cell bits of Life. Why? These people spend the better part of their lives looking for Life through dirt and dust that they overlook the slaughter going on every day in abortion clinics. Most scientists believe in the theory of evolution and that life can be spared – survival of the fittest, it seems. A fossil gets more respect than an unborn child.
Sometimes I’m so discouraged…so discouraged that I find myself in intercessory prayer for those that lost and those that don’t care. God gives me the solace that nothing else can.
Through many years of off and on alcohol abuse – a way I thought I could cope – I believed (or secretly hoped) the lie that there was never a baby. As I research the phenomenon of Life, I reel at the fact that at least half of this world still believes that Life does not begin at conception. How can that happen while doctors implant embryos into barren women? It’s only a baby when it suits you or when you pay for it?
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about a child lost. I am certainly not alone. The Bible speaks of how Jesus came that we may have abundant Life*, not Life stolen from us. He healed all and raised the dead…how can anyone justify the death of an unborn child when Jesus Himself gave the commandment to love one another**?
Beloved, I wish the unbeliever Life; I pray salvation for all that tarry. Life is more important than what is not sanctified by God. The world is not your Comforter; it is your certain death.
The concept of Life comes with the knowledge of the One that died for YOU.
‘Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.’*
There was a famine in the land of Judah, the Bible says. But instead of trusting God, Elimelech and Naomi took their sons and went to Moab (now part of Jordan). The origin of the Moabites came from the incestuous coming together of Lot with his eldest daughter, who bore him a son named Moab. Moab is a place of idolatry, sin and arrogance.
Can there be anything good that comes from Moab?
While in Moab, the sons of Naomi took wives, Ruth and Orpah, who were native to Moab. However, while still in there, Naomi’s sons and husband died. Naomi wanted to go back to her homeland of Judah and told Ruth and Orpah to go back to their own mothers – to stay in idolatrous Moab. Orpah went back; Ruth went on to Judah with Naomi. Ruth forsook her idols and trusted God…but she still needed a Redeemer.
We don’t know much of what went on in Moab with Ruth and Orpah. It was a pagan society. The Bible doesn’t expound much on the exploits of these women but we do know it couldn’t have been Godly.
Every day, we are faced with believing God or the world. As sinners, we need redemption. When Ruth chose God, she needed to repent and be forgiven. As I said earlier, we don’t know what happened in Moab – it was the choice of the Holy Spirit to not disclose it.
But can there be anything good that comes from Moab?
YES – good can come from Moab. Ruth came from a terrible place and found Redemption. Boaz showed favor to Ruth, rescued her – he was her kinsman-redeemer. Boaz would later marry Ruth and through the bloodline of these two people would be our coming Redeemer: Jesus. You see, God is in everything. When most people read the Book of Ruth, they see a simple love story but there is nothing simple about it. Our Savior would come from them!
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”*
I know as an activist that abortion will probably be a fact of life today and in the future, considering the current administration and the so-called health reform on the table.
So, what are we supposed to do?
We have to work on the hearts of the moms out there that are pregnant and considering abortion. This is why street ministry and the internet works.
When I was driving to work one day I saw someone that seemed to be pacing back and forth in front of a small office building here in Baton Rouge. The next day he was there again, pacing back and forth in front of the same building. Finally I saw him again a couple of days later but this time I saw what he was holding up while he was pacing…it was a crucifix of Christ on the Cross. Suddenly I knew exactly what he was doing; he was there to talk to women and girls before they went in that building to get an abortion. What was really sad is that he was there all by himself.
The reality of what these women are contemplating hasn’t become real until someone tells them so. I know that sounds very elementary, but honestly it’s true. The only reality these women know at the time is keeping their boyfriend, staying in school, fitting into their clothes, keeping their parents from finding out, on and on and on. They truly have no idea a living human being is inside of their body.
Street ministry, peaceful protests and informational websites does a lot to bring the reality that a child is about to lose its life if the mom decides to abort.
We need to see the reality of abortion; the slain children of this grotesque act need to be heard so the next child will have a chance at the life it was ordained to have.
So the next time you wanna just hang it up and throw in the towel because you think the deck is stacked against the scourge of abortion, remember that every unborn human being is counting on activists like you and me to tell their mom to not murder them…because no one else will.
- one baby at a time, one mom at a time, one heart at a time-
I bounced around like a ricocheting bullet my entire life; in and out of bad relationships, had my first child out of wedlock, an off and on drinking problem, raised in Catholicism, etc. And there’s so much more in-between. Somehow I’ve made it through with only a couple of unseen scars.
Finally, the Lord caught up with me on December 12, 2001 at an offsite sales meeting. I heard the Gospel for the very first time from a man that praised Jesus and gave God the glory for his success. The next day at work, the Lord put him in my path and I accepted Jesus that day, December 13, 2001. I was 40 years old.
Since then I have put myself through a near literal Hell for not raising my children knowing Jesus. Of course I didn’t know Jesus then, but it still weighs on me. Their Eternity is at stake.
Last night at church, when the call came for those that don’t know the Lord, my youngest son held up his hand, barely, and was repeating the Sinner’s Prayer.
A miracle happened last night; my son will now know Eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The latest news from the United Kingdom – scientists have created designer embryos containing DNA from a man and TWO women – to make ‘healthier’ babies without presumed genetic disorders. I wonder who would be the identifiable mother.
Here’s the problem with designer embryos…first, playing God is not a good idea. Second, quit playing God. Third – let’s say your designer embryo becomes a baby! Wonderful! You’ve removed the chance for most abnormalities that can come with having children! Do you actually think God is pleased with you mocking his most precious creation? ‘For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.’*
That being said, what part of the gene pool is going to keep your child from becoming a drug addict…or a prostitute…or a high school dropout…on welfare…pregnant at 15…atheist or Christian?? ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.’**
Or, where in the DNA can you splice an All American into the family? How much farther can this absolute madness go?
Embryos are created and destroyed as if it being nothing but medical waste to satisfy a persnickety parent.
Transhumanism is an intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities***. Essentially, transhumanism is part of the plan to make a ‘super race’. You know, kind of like Adolf Hitler.
“If nobody gets hurt and everybody has access,” says John Hughes (proclaimed transhumanist), “then genetic modification is perfectly fine, and restricting it is an assault on reproductive freedom. It’s in the same category as abortion. If you think women have the right to control their own bodies, then they should be able to make this choice,” he said. “There should be no law restricting the kind of kids people have, unless there’s gross evidence that they’re going to harm that kid, or harm society.” Read the entire aritcle here.
Perhaps they should get a puppy instead – maybe not. You know how the ASPCA and PETA are…they’re so particular.
1Peter 3:3-4 says, (v3)‘Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— (v4)but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.’
The world thinks jewels are precious; God considers precious the jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit*. Bathsheba reiterated, ‘An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels’** and ‘Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised’.***
Eve was ideally made for Adam; as well, Woman was created specifically for Man. Eve completed Adam – woman completes man. Adam and Eve are equal before God. Cultures of this current world do not revere women. Pagan ‘religion’ tends to fuel and encourage the devaluation of women since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Pagan rituals have always involved women and children at the hand of a man that does not know the Lord.
Brave woman of God, we live in a world where Godly, happily married women are hardly accepted much less revered. God gave women the awesome task and privilege of birthing children for our husbands; we women are givers of life. Then…why do we take life? We take (or have taken) life because we are selfish and Godless – we want our adorning to be external. Can we be so horribly mislead that we would take the life of our own child? YES.
Since the fall of man, we have sin. Sin breeds adultery and promiscuity and a Godless society. Sin has a consequence, and that consequence might be a child not intended. These so called ‘unwanted’ children are usually a result of a relationship outside of marriage; 83% are unmarried, 16% are separated or divorced, and a meager 1% are from women that are happily (at least marginally) married. There you have it…married women don’t kill their unborn children. Sex was meant to be within the boundaries of marriage ONLY, ‘Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous’.****
Taking a child’s life for the sake of outward beauty and ease of one’s life is abominable. Women give life, women should never allow it to be taken it away. It’s up to you, brave woman of God…let your heart be changed by the conviction of the Holy Spirit that you may heal.
Carrying the BAG is a four part series regarding abortion and the women that suffered the loss of their child or children - the Post Abortive Woman. Abortion changes everyone's life.
About 43% of all women, 45 years old and under, are Post Abortive. Nearly half of those will or have aborted again.
