Hello from
No… they haven’t renewed the draft to take ‘geezers’ – I’m down here in the
Meantime the on air JUST A MINUTE today takes up the ‘hot and humid’ subject of abortion – which generally raises the temperature and humidity level about this time in the election cycle. Many folks can’t understand why Bible believing Christians make such a big to-do over a ‘health-care’ procedure. Of course the question of when does life begin arises… and without going into the technicalities, most of us think it begins at conception – and from then on you don’t have just a clump of natal cells, but a life beginning and shortly a heartbeat and other vital signs are discernable – all that is ‘scientific’ and quantifiable.
In any case taking a life of the unborn in the womb is serious business with us. It’s not just surgery or medical procedure and especially in the instance of partial birth abortion -- I personally think it is a hideous and torturous crime. No matter what you or I think it is an intersection of political and ethical forces that become crucially important to how we think and act about life and its sacredness.
Today’s program is only one minute – and of course such a subject cannot be adequately covered in 60 seconds. But I plant my flag on the side of protecting the unborn from those who would take advantage of their inability to speak for themselves or mount any defense. It’s just not moral to be greener than grass as an environmentalist and totally involved in such matters as ‘climate change’ but totally, or mostly indifferent toward protecting the lives of those least able to protect or speak for themselves.
Some years ago I heard Dr. Francis Schaeffer speak at
But the difficulties still need to be assaulted and conquered – and by the Lord’s grace they will be. I want to put my life and force (whatever remains of it) on the side of protecting the unborn and respecting the sanctity of life. I make no claim to high expertise here… but I do think the evidence as well as the morality of being anti-abortion is abundantly clear – and I take my stand there.
Well… I’ve run out of time and space for today – but plan to come back to stand on the side of the unborn as long as the Lord enables me. May the Lord bless you and your understanding of HIM in today’s world.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
WHY CAN’T WE “JUST BE REASONABLE?”
Just a Minute: -- Sirius is the “dog star” – brightest from July 3rd to August 11th . I bring it up because in the Northern Hemisphere generally, it’s hot and humid. The way the atmosphere is affected often, when “abortion” is brought up.
“Why don’t you guys just be reasonable? -- Drop it.” That raises my blood pressure.
Can a society describe itself as ‘civilized’ while taking an unborn’s life in its totally indefensible state?
How can one claim to be civilized and compassionate allowing one medical doctor to terminate an infant in the womb, while in the nearby neo-natal unit another skilled physician does his utmost to preserve life?
Theologian Frances Schaffer, says this is the critical issue of our society. He is absolutely correct.
Abortion is not a political issue like financial rules – or setting interest rates. It may not be resolved by ‘majority vote’ – or popularity polling.
On another day possibly, we’ll have another go at explaining the magnitude of its importance.
