40 Years of Shame
As we passed the 40 year anniversary of Row v. Wade this past week, the staggering statistics tell us 55 million babies have been killed in the womb! What do we learn about our nation?
- A Nation That Sheds Innocent Blood. Proverbs 6:16-17 remind us that one of the things God hates is those who take innocent life, and what is more innocent than the baby in the womb? And yes, regardless of what man says, that baby is living! (Jer. 1:5; Luke 1:41, 2:12).
- A Nation That Does Not Honor Life. We have become desensitized as a nation to life, especially concerning life in the womb. We have used all sorts of euphemisms to try and forget that abortion is murder, the taking of an innocent life—one that should be considered precious (Gen. 1:27; Ps. 127:3; Ps 139:9-16).
- A Nation That No Longer Blushes. What was once unmentioned/unthinkable is now unashamedly defended. Sin is promoted and righteousness is mocked and abused (Ezra 9:6; Jer. 4:22, 6:15, 8:12; Isa. 5:20; Prov. 14:34).
- A Nation That Needs The Gospel! One that needs to know there are eternal consequences to its actions (2 Cor. 5:10; Gal. 5:19-21; Heb. 4:13), one that learns God is compassionate to forgive (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rom. 6:23; Matt. 11:28-30), one that will consider their actions in light of His Word (Heb. 5:14; 1 Thess. 5:21-22; 1 Pet. 2:9, 3:11; Col. 3:17). Let us stand forth to boldly proclaim God’s truth as the solution (1 Tim. 4:12-16; 2 Tim. 2:4; Titus 2:15).
