Good
day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word:
Social
media and news networks are buzzing like never before on the heels of the
leaking of the Supreme Court decision concerning the overturning of the Roe vs
Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized the murder of unborn children in
1973. Since then over 63 million unborn children have lost their lives to
legalized killing clinics across the nation.
This
premature release of the court’s decision has fanned the flames of the pro
choice rhetoric, and I would caution us all not to be taken in by it. In the
days ahead they will drag out every celebrity, every famous spokesperson they
can come up with to champion the right to kill an unborn children, so society can
continue to enjoy sex without responsibility. Their ultimate goal in these
rantings is to silence those who stand for truth. It will be as Isaiah said in Isa
51:23, 'Lie down, that we may walk over you.”'
First
of all, let me say this. I’ll believe that Roe V Wade is overturned when I see
it in black and white, and we’ll have to wait until the end of June for the
official decision. In the meantime, don’t be taken in by their twisting of the
facts concerning when a life begins. Follow the science, and as a Christian
follow the Bible.
Life
begins at conception, only a desperate fool, trying to justify a murder would deny that. If that is not a living,
growing human being in the womb, why do you have to violently remove it?
From
the biblical standpoint we are told that we are all conceived in sin, Ps
51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived
me.
What
is the wage of sin? Is it not death? Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
How
can that wage be paid, how can death possibly come to something that is not first
alive? We all are sinners from conception on and we all need God’s saving grace
from that moment!
All
the poisonous pro choice rhetoric is designed to divert the attention from that
living child in the womb. Our job is to keep the focus on that child before and
after birth.
When
someone insists that legalized abortion is a fundamental right, take them to
the Declaration of Independence and the “self-evident truth, that people first
and foremost have the “right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
Without the first of these three, the rest don’t matter!
Ask
them to name the crime of that child growing in the womb of the mother. Name
the sin! What have they done to have their life snuffed out?
Did
the unborn child rape? Did the unborn child commit incest? Did the unborn child
engage in the sex act? Show me the crime, show me the sin and then let us talk
punishment!
Finally,
let me remind you of God’s gospel of grace. If you have been a participant in
the act of aborting a child. Remember, there is no sin that Jesus didn’t pay
for on the cross. We have this sure promise from God’s Word in that regard:
1Jo
1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I’m
Duane Matz and that’s Today’s Living Word.
