Is "Saving Babies" the Standard? If Not, What Is?

Many Christians have followed the ProLife strategy of opposing preborn child sacrifice by supporting the passing of legislation that regulates abortion.  

Abolitionists shine light on these bills as being iniquitous decrees (Isaiah 10:1-2), and call on our brothers and sisters to "cease to do evil," and "learn to do well" (Isaiah 1).  We do not want the Church to oppose evil in a way that God calls evil.

The major justification from ProLife Christians is that these bills save some babies, and that makes it okay to implement the practice.  

"Save the Babies" becomes the mantra.  It is the focus, the end all.  If some babies may be saved, it makes the legislation "a worthy effort" to be applauded.

Now I am all for saving babies.  That is why I am often found at the gates of death, pleading for their lives, and calling parents to deliver their children, not destroy them.  But is that the final Standard for the laws that we push? 

We could ask, do these laws really save babies?  

Much could be written to expose that the vast majority of ProLife bills do not as a matter of course actually save babies from murder.  They merely lay rules about how, when, where, why, and by whom, babies can be murdered.  Contrary to common belief by most people in the pew and in the pulpit, the claim that so many babies are delivered by those regulatory bills is grossly overestimated.  But that is not the topic for this post. 

Then what is the question in this post?  "Is Saving Babies the Standard?"

I want to point out that whether a bill may save some babies is not the Standard for whether we support this tactic.  

We are Christians.  

We are image-bearers of the living God of the Bible.  

We are made for His glory.  The goal and chief end of man is the glory of God.

We are not necessarily supposed to simply embrace what is projected to do some good, what looks likely to succeed, or even save some lives.

We are to obey the words of our King.  Our engagement must be "according to the Scriptures."

So "what saith the Scripture?"

God commands that we use just weights, measures, and balances.  He condemns compromise and injustice:

Proverbs 11:1 "A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight."  

Proverbs 16:11 "A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work."

Proverbs 20:23 "Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good."  

Notice He does not say to use false scales in order to the advantage of some and disenfranchise others.  He doesn't say it is okay to make slightly less unequal balances.  The scales of justice are to be equal.

God commands that we not bear false witness in judgment. Exodus 23:1,7 "Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness...Keep thee far from a false matter..."  We are to be men of truth.  God does not say to enact laws that neglect to speak the truth or treat things as what they are.  Regulatory laws do not call abortion murder, do not treat the preborn like the humans they are, and do not treat their homicide as the murder it is.  They treat it like healthcare, thus make a law that is a schoolmaster of falsehood, teaching the public that it is healthcare.

God does not say to pervert justice in order to save some, even if everyone else seems to think it is a good idea.  Exodus 23:2-3,6-7 "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:  Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause...Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked."

God commands magistrates to protect the innocent and defenseless. Jeremiah 22:3 "Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place."  He does not say to compromise judgment, or to tell oppressors that they have until this age that they can spoil their young prey.  He doesn't say to do wrong a little less at a time.  He doesn't say to give approval to make rules so that violence to the vulnerable has to be done in a well-lit room with clean tools.  He doesn't say to permit the shedding of innocent blood as long as the one hiring the kill has had a chance to view the picture of the victim first, or had twenty-four hours to think it over. 

God commands us to not be partial.  It is not the Lord who says to make partial laws that protect some people and permit the murder of others, stripping justice from them, and giving immunity and impunity to their killers.  In fact, He condemns that behavior in judgment. Proverbs 17:15 "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD."

See it in His statutes. Deuteronomy 16:19-20 "Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.  That which is altogether just shalt thou follow..."

See it in His sagacious statements.  Proverbs 24:23 "These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment."

See it in Himself. Romans 2:11 "For there is no respect of person with God."

See it in the Standard for His saints. James 2:1,4,8-9 "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. ...Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? ...If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."

It is not He who says, "...let us do evil that good may come" (Romans 3:8).  Instead, He says, "...overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:221).

He doesn't say, Proving what is projected to save some, but denies due process and equal protection to others.  He does not say, "Proving what is acceptable unto the professionals, the practitioners, the politicians, the party, or the populace."  

He says, "Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10).  We must obey Him, and trust Him for the results.  Jesus is King, and we follow His word. And we believe that when we as the Church reprove that which is partial, when we cease to approve iniquitous measures, when we prove and pursue just and true laws that glorify the King, in His Providence, babies WILL BE SAVED.

Sometimes I wear a shirt that says, "Save Babies...Ask me how."  There are many things that can be done towards saving the innocent from murder, but the how must be according to the Scriptures, to the glory of the Lord.

Abortion must be abolished, not regulated.

Astounding Advice - What Would YOU Say to That?

One morning I met a gentlemen in his 80's.  As a man half his age I asked him what words of wisdom he would share with me that I might learn something.

I was astounded by his answer: "Just do what you want.  Whatever feels good to you, go ahead and do it."

Wow!  That was not what I was expecting.  

I told him how that could possibly work in some limited areas, but there are a lot of scenarios in which that advice is downright destructive.

He was quiet.  Then, "Are you married?"

Me: "Yes."

"For how long?"

Me: "11 years."

"Well, I was married for 25 years, and then my wife ran off with all but $75 of my money."

I responded gently feeling like this was a great opportunity to speak truth in regard to his previous advice. "That is terrible," I said, "But then again, she was just doing what she wanted, wasn't she?  She was doing what felt good to her at the time."

He was quiet.

I went on.  "Often when we do what we want to do, go the way we want to go without, it will affect others in a harmful way.  And when going our own way is in violation of God Law and design, it is sin."

He still said nothing.  So I kept talking.

"The Bible tells us that all of us have done that, like sheep we have all gone astray and have turned every one to his own way.  That is called iniquity.  The Bible also tells us that, 'There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.'  We deserve death and Hell."

 I continued.

"That is why I have turned from going my own way, and have trusted alone on the One Who laid down His life to save me.  Jesus Christ paid the price for my sin with His own blood, and then rose again.  The Bible tells us that in the Garden, the Son said to the Father, 'Not My will, but Thine be done'.  He has saved me, and He guides the way I live now."  

The older gentleman was not too talkative after that.  Just a few more summing up words, and then the conversation was over.  Please pray that man will be turned from the way that leads to destruction to Jesus Christ, Who is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life".

And abortion must be abolished.

The Reality about Roe and Dobbs

Fifty years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down Roe v. Wade.  For nearly 5 decades, it was treated by both proaborts and prolifers as the law of the land. In actuality is was the lie of the land.

The murder of our preborn neighbors was never in the Constitution.  The 1973 decision was an iniquitous decree, violating the US Constitution and the Higher Law of God.  No court has the authority to say that murder of a people group is okay.  The Triune God of the Bible is the Author of life, and the Judge over all, and thus He alone has the jurisdiction to say when life is to be taken away.  And He says in Jeremiah 22:3 to “Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.”  Jesus reiterated while He walked among us, “Thou shalt do no murder.” 

The Roe v. Wade decision violated the Constitution also.  The US Supreme Court took a supposed "right to privacy" to mean that murder of your own children can happen in the privacy of the womb.  It was not a law, for courts do not make laws.  They render opinions, and when an opinion violates the Constitution and the Higher Law of the Creator, it is without constitutional authority and ought to be ignored.  For the last 50 years, babies didn’t die because of Roe v. Wade.  Many tens of millions of babies were murdered because states bowed to Roe v. Wade. 

On Friday, June 24^th of 2023, the Supreme Court itself officially recognized the egregious error that it made.  They admitted the ruling almost 50 years ago was unconstitutional, and have returned the question to the states.  Here in Dobbs we find another error in judgment, a half correction:

The US Supreme Court was right to say that abortion is not a right in the Constitution.  BUT…

The US Supreme Court was wrong to then allow the states to deprive humans of the right to life if they so choose.  Just as the federal courts did not have a right to say abortion is a “right”, the states do not have a right to do so either—they have the duty to criminalize homicide.

With that in mind, consider that in 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court took the right to the "pursuit of happiness" in the state Constitution and said it included the pursuit of homicide.  This violates both the right “to life” and “equal justice” recognized in general to humans in the Kansas Constitution.  Thus, Bleeding Kansas, with its iniquitous court opinion, has fabricated its own state “Roe”, called “Hodes and Nauser v. Schmidt”.  Both courts, the US Supreme Court in 1973 and the Kansas Supreme Court in 2019, were dead wrong—both fallacious, both vain and iniquitous.

The Hodes case is unconstitutional and as Kansans we ought to ignore it, as we should have ignored Roe. What was national should now strike closer to home for the God-fearing people of the Sunflower State. We must defy Hodes and follow the Constitution and the Higher Law of God, even if the courts will not. As Elders our prayer since Friday has been, “Lord, may Your people, who refused to ignore Roe, do justly now that they can no longer use it as an excuse.” Our God commands that, “That which is altogether just shalt thou follow”. We must call for justice and plead for truth.

We must reject compromise, and demand of our legislators that, 

“Abortion must be abolished.”

Whose Side Are You On?

"The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things" (Proverbs 15:28).

This tweet is just a single example of the kind of evil that gushes from the heart of the soul in rebellion against the God Who made him.  We live in a society filled to the brim with not only hearts full of wickedness, but a people who celebrate, laugh at, or shrug off such trash being spewed out on the internet instead of seeking to curb it.  We live in a generation that hates God and loves death. 

I recognize and mourn over the reprobate nature of this tweet and pray that the Lord would give the author repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth.  I pray that she will be brought from death unto life everlasting through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

But there something else that grieves me.  And that's what my post is about. 

Here is the awful truth: If this woman would actually do such a thing she is proposing, she would face no prosecution!  That pierces my heart and should yours as well.  Every single state in our Union, including every acclaimed ProLife state, proports that woman who kill their preborn children are victims.  Every single Prolife legislation that has ever been put forth or passed has secured language to this end. And every ProLife leader and organization has done their due diligence to educate the church and inform elected officials that mothers who kill their babies at home (through mail order abortions—which is very mush on the rise) or hire an assassin to do the job at an abortion mill, should be immune to prosecution!

Even in cases of partial birth abortion, in which there may be some penalty for the abortionist, the mother who hired the abortionist faces no penalties.

This is the fruit of being ProLife but not Biblical.  The ProLife doctrine, that mothers should never be prosecuted, is how we ended up with Roe v. Wade in the first place. The Texas statute that was the reason for the Roe v Wade court case claimed that children in the womb were protected by the 14th amendment, and yet the same statute did not give them equal protection by treating abortion like murder.  Mothers who hired doctors to kill their children were completely free from any charges.  Due to that partiality in judgment, the Supreme Court cited their inconsistency and stated that the preborn were not persons under the law with the same protections and far more than 60 million children have been murdered under color of law because of it.  Abominable.

Looking at Isaiah chapter 59, we see the evil of bloodshed and injustice in a society.  Scriptures states that truth is fallen in the street (v.14), and people make haste to shed innocent blood (v.7), and people are found crying out to God to deliver and to save in such an evil day.

God responds, saying that He is able to hear and save (v.1)—but that He will not hear, nor bless and deliver (v.2), because those coming to Him are lifting hands defiled with blood themselves (v.3). 

He points out that they gone their own way (iniquity), and have been using falsehood, trusting vain measures, to deal with the problem.  What they haven't done is call for justice and plead for truth (v.3-4).  

How can we expect God to bless our own Nation when even those who are against the bloodshed refuse to treat it like murder? How can we expect God to deliver such a culture of death when the "champions of the innocent" hatch iniquitous decrees, compromising (and thus collaborating) with homicide—treating abortion like healthcare.  Is the ProLife movement raising bloody hands to ask God to bless their efforts?

As intensely grieved as I am over this tweet the Scripture states plainly that, "wickedness proceedeth from the wicked" (I Samuel 24:13).

I am more horrified at the way that we as the Christian community have been taught to permit this atrocity under color of law.  This is one of the reasons why I will not be a part of the ProLife establishment and call myself an abolitionist instead.

Let it not be said of Christians in this generation, "None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth" (Isaiah 59:4).

Christian, whose side are you on?  I implore you to leave the ProLife ideology and practice.  Stop giving money to ProLife organizations who refuse to be Biblical and instead openly promote falsehood and partiality in giving justice to the preborn.

Answers to the 2022 Kansans For Life Survey

I was sent a link to a survey from KFL (Kansans For Life), the largest Pro-Life organization in my state, last week.  As a way to both exhort anyone who is reading this blog post to follow a biblical approach to ridding our nation of child sacrifice and to equip my brothers and sisters with solid and truthful answers I have copied their questions and my answers.  

Q— Do you believe pro-life advocates have the power to change our culture into one that values life?

A— I believe what the scriptures teach. It is the living and true God that has the power to change hearts.  He tells us that His church is to be the salt and light in the world, bringing His truth into conflict with darkness and decay.  When the Christians of our state/nation rise in obedience to the Bible in regards to the murder of the preborn, it will massively impact the culture that is at peace with child sacrifice.  

However, I do not believe that pro-life advocates are changing our culture into one that values life. On the whole, Pro-Life leaders and organizations (in their perspective, policies, and practice) are inconsistent with the Gospel and Scriptural precept.  

For instance, pro-life bills do not treat abortion like the homicide it is, but rather regulate it like healthcare. In doing so they treat abortion no different than the proaborts.  This teaches the culture to not value life equally. Psalm 119:128 "...I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 

Q— Do you believe most Kansans understand the reality of what happens in an abortion?

A— Yes, abortion is murder, and everybody knows it.  Everyone is without excuse. https://freethestates.org/2021/02/everybody-knows-it/ 

Q— Do you believe minor girls should, at minimum, have the protection of required parental consent before an abortion is performed on them?

A— This question seems to ignore the children being slain. To require such a thing is to treat the murder of the babies these minors carry as a viable medical practice—no different than any other medical procedure for a minor. Abortion is homicide, and to treat it other than what it is would be to promote a falsehood and establish partiality in law.  Would it be righteous to put into law that high school-age shooters are allowed to gun down preschool students if they have permission from the children's parents?  If this is absurd, then so is the other. Exodus 23:1-7; Deut. 16:19-20; James 2:8-9 

Q— Add your thoughts about the greatest challenges ahead for the pro-life movement.

A— The greatest challenge to equal protection for the preborn presently is the ProLife Movement itself.  In all prolife states where abolition bills have been put forward since 2016, it has been the ProLife leadership and organizations who have worked mightily to kill those bills.  They have done all that can to keep these bills from even getting out of committees.  This past year, when Louisiana had an abolition bill get through the committee and enough legislative support to pass it, the ProLife organizations surged and gutted the bill. 

At that time over 70 major ProLife organizations signed onto a letter to all legislators in the Union, saying that they will NEVER support giving children equal protection from murder in the womb.  Kansans For Life signed that ungodly letter.  Christians are rising up to expose the iniquitous compromise, the partiality, and the error of the ProLife Movement.  We are calling our prolife neighbors to repent, come to Christ, and follow HIS word in engaging for the lives of the preborn.  We are calling for abortion to be abolished to the glory of God.  Duty is ours. Results are God's. 

Q— Now that we're in a post-Roe America, where do you think KFL should focus most of its energy?"

A— Repenting of iniquitous measures and establishing equal protection for all by backing a bill of immediate and total abolition of abortion as murder.  It is also vital that KFL and all Christians in our state ignore the iniquitous and unconstitutional Hodes opinion as we should have ignored the iniquitous and unconstitutional Roe. 

Q— As a pro-life advocate, if you haven't made a gift to Kansans for Life yet this year, will you tell us what is holding you back from financially supporting our lifesaving mission?

A— I was prolife for 30+ years, believing that it was Biblical, but now am an abolitionist of abortion.   Exodus 23:2 "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:"  I cannot in good conscience support an organization that refuses to seek justice for the innocent, refuses to establish equal rights for the preborn, all the while purporting itself to be the champion for the preborn in my state.  So many Christians and churches support KFL, thinking that they do well, not realizing the partiality they are joining in.   I am now committed to call for justice and plead for truth, and exhort my fellow Christians to do the same. 

Q—If you would like to enter a drawing for a 2023 KFL T-shirt, please provide your name and two ways to contact you should your name be drawn (phone number, etc.)

A— I will not be entering into the drawing for the shirt, since what is printed on teh shirt is not truthful.  KFL does not show that it believes that "every life is precious" and purposed enough to be protected equally.  KFL has repeatedly opposed legislation that would protect children from murder, and signed that letter this years that refuses ever to support just treatment of this form of homicide.  This coming year, you will have again an opportunity to show a change, to actually allow for and support the passage of a just bill of abolition of abortion.  Because I care for you, I call you consider your ways, search the Scriptures, and to repent.  "And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:15-18).  If you are interested in talking about the Biblical response to child sacrifice being perpetuated under color of law, feel free to call me at (and I gave them my number). 

Abortion must be abolished.

The Born Alive Act was Dead Wrong

Read it and think.

This is a tweet by Greg Abbott about the Born Alive Act, which was put forward by Representative Jeff Leach, and passed by Texas.  Much was made of this ProLife victory that happened years ago. 

Governor Abbott said, "In Texas we support the lives of innocent children.  The Texas House voted 93-1 for the Born Alive Act."  

Jeff Leach is quoted here also, saying "A baby who survives an abortion deserves the full protection of the law and the highest standards of medical care." 

Both Abbott and Leach have been praised by the prolifers and Christians for this and other deeds, being lauded as champions of the preborn.  But these men are two of the chief leaders who are responsible for murder by abortion remaining "legal" in Texas:

  

Greg Abbott personally gave a promise to a dying teenager, abolitionist Jeremiah Thomas (who earnestly called on him to do justice for the children being slain) that he and the Texas Republican Legislature were determined and would abolish abortion in Texas.  Then, Abbott completely broke his word, and never has sought to do what what he promised.

Jeff Leach heard the testimony of hours upon hours from abolitionists in favor of HB896, a bill of complete and immediate abolition of abortion, lasting into the early morning hours of the next day, and singe handedly killed that bill that would have provided equal protection for all preborn children under the law.

These men have perpetuated the homicide of many thousands of children by their compromise and regulatory bills. 

Take this bill mentioned in Abbott's tweet for example:

If a baby survives an attempted abortion and is born alive, then the state says that they have protection.

This is basically the same as saying that you can hire someone to shoot, or strangle, or poison your neighbor in an alley, and the law WILL NOT prosecute you or the hitman.

However, if your neighbor survives that attack, and gets out of the alley alive, then it is illegal to kill them after that.  Furthermore, there still will be no prosecution for the violent crime that you attempted in the alley to commit against your neighbor.  

And the government will depend on the people present (that's you and the assassin) to have enough integrity to follow the decree and not kill the neighbor, but instead report their survival and give them medical assistance.

Absurd and Evil.  They "lie and do not the truth!"  They care about what pleases man and not God.  Their inconsistency and iniquity is showing.  Political officials need to cease to do evil, and learn to do well.  

Consider the Born Alive Act in the light of God's command to rulers in Jeremiah 22:3 "Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place." 

The true and living Triune God of the Bible declares, 

"Execute ye judgment and righteousness,"  Did this bill establish equal justice?

"deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor:"  Unless they are still in the alley (womb)?

"do no wrong,"  So allowing the murder to happen under color of law at first is right?

"do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow,"  This still permits violence to the vulnerable.

"neither shed innocent blood"  The blood of the innocent is freely shed as long as the victim is in the "UNSAFE Place". 

So what is the verdict? "Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord," this legislation was iniquitous, promoting partiality and falsehood, which God hates.

The Born Alive Act was and is Dead Wrong. It is compromise and collaboration with, and thus complicity in, child sacrifice.  Do not support ProLife organizations, legislators, or laws, which leech away justice from the innocent by denying justice and delaying abolition through delivering bills of regulation and partiality as victories.  Be not deceived.  Be not distracted.   

Repent with us.  Abortion must be abolished, not regulated.

It Adds Up When You Do The Math

I don't know how often I have heard it said in various ways by fellow believers:

"Unfortunately, at this time the church does not have the people, the power, nor the funds, to make an impact on the evil of abortion in this country." 

"We cannot really do anything but vote, give to pro-life groups and crisis pregnancy centers, pray, and hope for the best. There is nothing else we can do that will make a difference."

I for one, want to counter this sentiment with truth.  And I will take only one aspect of action in which the church needs to participate.

Let's take into consideration a very practical use of numbers.  Let’s say that 15,000 Christians within an hour of an abortion mill in any given city decided to love their preborn neighbors in word, deed, and truth.  I hasten to say that this would be but a fraction of the believers who attend Bible preaching congregations.  But these 15,000 individuals set aside time in their very busy lives to be present at the death camp.  What would that accomplish?

If just 59 of the 15,000 went to that abortuary on one day, 

and then a different 59 went the next day, 

and then another 59 went the day after, and on, and on...

you would have 59 Christians at the mill EVERY SINGLE DAY of the YEAR without ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL having been there twice. 

Imagine, 59 Christians, exercising various roles at the Gates of Death—Preaching the Gospel. Pleading for the lives of little image-bearers. Praying fervently on site for God to work in hearts. Providing help, information, and resources at the entry. Provoking with signs, etc.

What if they chose to take on a little more?  If each person in the multitude of 15,000 committed to stand just one day a month, that would mean that the mill would have 483 Christians outside it EVERY DAY with each person only giving one day a month to plead for the lives of the innocent and provide truth to all who enter (and that is if every month had 31 days; 5 months have fewer).

This by itself would have a HUGE impact on the business that sheds innocent blood.  This would clearly showcase the Gospel to the lost, deliver numerous babies from slaughter, and shut down the mills!  When 1% of the church will show up regularly to stand at the abortion mill, abortion business places will shut down. Darkness cannot stand the presence of Light.  

I well remember the morning in Pensacola in 2006, out in front of a baby butcher shop, when a police officer looked at me and my friend, and said "This must not be a real issue for the church, since you two are the only ones here."  In the middle of a conservative Christian "stronghold", surrounded by hundreds of churches, and only two Christians were standing as emissaries for Christ at the Gates of Death.  What message is the church sending the world by our silence and absence from the field? 
God has commanded us to "love our neighbour as ourselves", "visit the fatherless in their affliction", to "open [our] mouth" and "plead the cause of the poor and needy", to do "justice and equity".

Prayer is never meant to be a substitute for obedience.  Imagine if Isaiah had said in prayer, "Here am I; send someone else!" (Isaiah 6).  I would that the thousands upon thousands of believers in every city would learn about, get involved, and then engage for their pre-born neighbors being slaughtered!  I would that they would take God's command to "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the case of all such are as appointed to destruction" (Proverbs 31:8) at His word.  Truly God has made Himself clear, and has given us all we need to make a huge impact simply by assembling as His ambassadors at the Gates of Death (not to mention all the other ways to effect abolition of this evil). It is not enough, nor honest, neither is it consistently "Christian" for us to say, "We cannot make a difference right now."

Let us stop being silent, absent, and negligent.  

Let us be OBEDIENT, and watch what our God will do.

"Some want to live within sound of church and chapel bell.                                                                             I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell."  C.T. Studd
