Christian Newswire/
-- On Sunday afternoon, October 4, Life Chains will again occupy U.S.
and Canadian sidewalks. There we will pray and witness on behalf of
voiceless fellow citizens-the precious Preborns imperiled by surgical
mutilation and abortive birth controls. Each participant will hold a
Life message (sign), and
www.LifeChain.net will again post the location and time of each Chain.
Why
build Life Chains? Each Chain is a prayerful, public testimony for God
to anoint and work through to impact hearts and lives. Life Chains
continue (our 28th year) because the children continue to die. The
earth's gravest injustice pursues them, and they die for want of
defenders.
If truth be known, well over 100 million rejected
Preborns have perished in the U.S. and Canada, and as pro-life servant
Flip Benham observed, "it takes a village" duly unified to ravage
innocent humanity when vile, unjust killing is deemed "legal." Law
enforcement must agree to protect the killer and to disenable defenders
who directly interfere, however honorably, with the brutalization of
defenseless, lawful citizens. Health departments, school systems,
elected officials, and civic organizations must find the killing either
tolerable or praiseworthy. The adult citizenry (about 70% of the
village residents) must do likewise. And, woefully, the Preborns' last
line of defense, the village church, must submit sufficiently to the
"powers and principalities" of Ephesians 6 and allow unbiblical
priorities to lure its duty and influence into years of détente with
the spiritual forces that create and sustain holocausts. True to Edmund
Burke, the horrendous villainy inflicted on the village Preborns
endures because the inaction of "good people" shields it.
On
October 4, let us remember the videos God produced through the Center
for Medical Progress. Therein God revealed the abhorrent "face of
abortion" through the deceptive and barbarous mind of Planned
Parenthood. But God revealed more. To the church in America, Canada,
and the other Western nations, especially, He revealed, as noted above,
the horrid evil that we have shielded for decades evil that He
commanded us to "expose" and "hate."
Legal abortion will cease
when the Church of Jesus Christ hates abortion enough to protect God's
future worshippers and end the carnage. On National Life Chain Sunday,
let us implore God to anchor within us a deep hatred for abortion and
to grow within us fervent compassion for vulnerable Preborns. Pastors
who lead in that endeavor will be of enormous value to pro-life.
Accordingly,
Pastors, please lead your congregations to the nearest Life Chain on
October 4. There, let us pray: "Father God, please stir the passive
hearts of us your professing sons and daughters. Intensify our hatred
for abortion and endear to us your treasured Little Ones. Please,
almighty God, inspire us to defend them with whatever sacrifice their
urgent need requires."
