I want to know why a lot of so-called Christians are silent when it comes to abortion.
Christians are not in favor of abortion, but only a few are doing anything about it. There’s a creative way for each person, no matter what the limitations may be, to be active.
God has been humiliated long enough. It’s time to move. When you become a Christian, you’re automatically drafted into God’s Army. We must fight for what is right. We are not talking about a slight infraction of an insignificant law. Abortion is murder, cold-blooded, premeditated murder. Every Christian must speak out loud and clear. It is our business.
So what can we do? Know God. Know the enemy. Abortion is breaking God’s heart. How would you feel if you could see every abortion taking place, not to mention every other wicked and horrible thing happening on earth? God sees it all. He carries that pressure and hurt every day. He hears every broken cry and sees every broken body. What a comfort it must be for Him to feel our love in a world that has largely forsaken Him. We must let God work His will through us for His glory because we love Him.
Have love for the victims. It’s easy to love the innocent little babies who are the victims of abortion. Their slaughter is an unspeakable evil. These little children, like all of us, are made in His image, and they belong to God. They are totally defenseless.
Some people find it difficult to love the women who are getting the abortions. They too are victims, not wholly innocent victims but victims of their own sin and their lack of relationship with Jesus. Some seeking abortions are in very desperate situations. Others are more casual about it. Whatever the reason, we need to love these women as much as we love the babies they are carrying. Their souls re equally precious to God.
I believe God wants to use Christians to defeat abortion. If we don’t fight, who else is going to? He wants to use each of us in a special way. We need to move out quickly, but in His strength, not our own. Take a stand against abortion.
