Praise The Lord.



Overview











Life is a gift from God. Let us all cherish,  respect  and protect it. " God,
the Lord of Life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life,
and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be
protected with the  utmost care from the moment of conception: Abortion and
infanticide are abominable crimes"





What Is Abortion ???

Abortion by definition Is the 'Induced termination of permanency, involving
expulsion and destruction of the embryo or fetus, especially before it is
capable of survival. Such an Intentional act is a grave sin. Life forms and
begins with the impregnation of the female ovum by the male sperm. Abortion
causes this life to cease and may be followed by serious physical conditions
affecting the mother such as infection, hemorrhage, sterility, blood clotting,
psychological stress, or other complications.  For Detailed Information on the
complications associated with Abortion Click Here                             



Infanticide is by definition the killing of infants

                                                                               
                                                                      

1. Human life is unique in that God created us in His image.

In Genesis 1:26,  “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” God
distinguished humans from the rest of the animal creation.



Jer 1: 4-5 " The word of the lord came to me thus' Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you before you were born I dedicated you".

Psalm 139: 13-16 " You formed my inmost being, you knit me in my mother`s womb.
I praise you, so wonderful you made me, wonderful are your works! My very self
you knew; my bones were not hidden from you. When I was made in the secret,
fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your
book all are written down; my days were shaped before one came to be"           
                                                                               
                                                                               
    SO THEN WHAT GIVES MAN THE POWER TO DESTROY WHAT GOD OUR LORD HAS           
MADE

"By a vote of 7-2, the U.S. Supreme Court held that until a child in the womb is
viable (capable of sustaining life outside the womb) or “capable of meaningful
life” (the court reckoned this to be six or usually seven months), the mother’s
desire for an abortion should take precedence over the baby’s right to life. For
the last two or three months, the court said that the state may protect the
unborn, but that it must allow an abortion if the life or health of the mother
is threatened. The court defined her “life or health” to mean her physical,
emotional, or psychological health, her age, her marital status, or the infant’s
prospects of a distressful life and/or future."





What Can We do To Stop Abortion ???



We can pray about the situation. It is ultimately a spiritual battle (Eph.
6:10-12  "Finally draw your strength from the lord and from his mighty power.
Put on the armor of God against the tactics of the devil. for our struggle is
not with flesh and blood but but with the principalities, with the powers, with
the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the
heavens). Pray for pro-life judges to receive Senate confirmation, especially to
the Supreme Court. Pray for the horrors of abortion to become obvious to our
self-centered culture. Pray for Christians to get involved in the pro-life
cause.



(2) We can vote for pro-life candidates. Don’t vote for pro-abortion candidates.
You ask, “Are you a one-issue voter?” I grant that being pro-life does not
qualify a person as a good political leader. But being pro-abortion should
disqualify anyone from public office. For example, if a candidate said, “I
believe that black people should not hold public office,” that one issue should
disqualify the candidate from office. Why doesn't favoring killing babies
disqualify a candidate? The person who favors abortion is an immoral person!



(3) We can write our legislators and the newspaper to support the pro-life
cause. Hold them accountable!



(4) We can support the pro-life cause with our money and time. Godly women are
needed to counsel young women with problem pregnancies, so that they choose life
for their babies. Godly families that are able should consider taking in such
young women and helping them carry their babies to term. There are many ways to
get involved.



IN OTHER WORDS, A WOMAN CAN KILL HER CHILD IN THE WOMB LEGALLY FOR ANY REASON
RIGHT UP TO THE MOMENT OF BIRTH.



Facts About Abortion



Fact: In the United States it is legal to abort a baby up until the day of
birth.



Fact: In a Partial Birth Abortion (D and X procedure) babies are "partially
aborted" so the head is still in the cervix but the body is out. While in this
position the live baby is still considered a "non-human" and has no protection
under the law. The live baby’s brains are sucked out after being crushed by
blunt instruments. Organs are harvested and sold to "researchers". The baby
receives no anesthesia and is alive until killed by the doctor.



Fact: Every day in America over 3,000 babies die painful deaths by suction
abortion, dismemberment, being torn limb from limb, prostaglandin hormones and
now by being brutally killed seconds before delivery.



Fact: Abortion has two victims - the baby and the mother. Many women who have
abortions suffer both physically and mentally. Depression, anxiety, grief,
infection, sterility and even death can result from abortion.



Fact: Nearly all abortions are done for reasons of convenience, not for any
medical or physical reason.



As American Christians, we have become so comfortable in our lovely buildings
and padded pews. We have beautiful fellowship halls for our many banquets. We
have the latest sound equipment for our praise and worship. We have computers to
keep our records. We gather together each week and shut ourselves inside our
buildings. We raise our voices as loud as we can in the name of God.



And yet, in the heavenly realm, our voices raised in praise are drowned out by
screams of agony from millions of babies who are being executed before they are
born. We can’t see them. We can’t hear them. But it is happening as you read
this!



Babies are being aborted up until the day of birth in this country. Their organs
and brains are "harvested" for use in medical experimentation. In Wichita,
Kansas, the smoke stack from the furnace of Dr. Tiller’s abortion clinic belches
black smoke and the sickening smell of burning flesh. These are the bodies of
preborn 7th, 8th, and 9th month old babies being "disposed of."



If the Christians in the old man’s church had done something, they probably
would have been killed. That is not the case with us today. We don’t even have
that excuse for our silence.





Since God is the creator and sustainer of human life, we should value and
protect the lives of all innocent humans. Pre-natal human life is fully human
and thus precious to God. To view babies as inconvenient to the point of killing
them is beyond cruel, inhuman and above all violates Jesus’ view of children.
The Bible condemns the shedding of innocent life



Genesis 9:6 - Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in
the image of        God He made man



Deuteronomy 27:25a - Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent
person.



Proverbs 6:16-19 - There are six things which the LORD hates, yes, seven which
are an                   abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood...



What has Happened to this generation??? Early church leaders recognized the
Bible’s prohibition of abortion.



"Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou
destroy it after it is born" (Letter of Barnabas 19 from 74 AD).



"…And these were the accursed who conceived and caused abortion" (The Apocalypse
of Peter 25, 137 AD).



"You shall not procure abortion, nor destroy a newborn child" (Didache 2:1 from
150 AD).



"There are some women among you who by drinking special potions extinguish the
life of the future human in their very bowels, thus committing murder before
they even give birth." (Mark Felix, Christian Lawyer, Octavius chap. 30 from 170
AD).



"The law of Moses, indeed, punishes with due penalties the man who shall cause
abortion (see Ex. 21:22) Tertullian, 210 AD.



"Now we allow that life begins with conception because we contend that the soul
also begins from conception; life taking its commencement at the same moment and
place that the soul does" (Tertullian, Apology 27 from 210 AD).



"Women also who administer drugs to cause abortion, as well as those who take
poisons to destroy unborn children, are murderesses." (First Canonical Letter
from 374 AD).



"The law, moreover enjoins us to bring up all our offspring, and forbids women
to cause abortion of what is begotten, or to destroy it afterward; and if any
woman appears to have so done, she will be a murderer of her child, by
destroying a living creature, and diminishing humankind." (The Works of
Josephus, Flavius Josephus Against Apion, Book II, 25).



"Some go so far as to take potions, that they may insure barrenness, and thus
murder human beings almost before their conception. Some, when they find
themselves with child through their sin, use drugs to procure abortion, and
when, as often happens, they die with their offspring, they enter the lower
world laden with the guilt not only of adultery against Christ but also of
suicide and child murder" (Jerome, Letters 22:13 from 396 AD).
