CREATED BY GOD, MURDERED BY ABORTIONIST.

 Coral in the ocean is not just beautiful - it is an animal  which is often described as  "just a clump of polyps".

God made that. In His majestic mind and awesome creativity He made that so He could reveal His nature and omnipotence.

We marvel at such beauty and prolific expressive genius.

But what about you? He created you and you are a million times more beautiful than the coral you see.

Just listen to the Psalmist in No. 139. This is how God sees us.

13 For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

Got goosebumps yet? You are more than a clump of polyps, you are an eternal soul created in the image of God.

And so is every child living in a womb today. So were you when you were curled up inside your mom's belly awaiting the miracle of birth. You were part of God's creation.

How do you think He feels when an abortionist murders in cold blood the beautiful human being He worked so hard to create?

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. God actually knitted you

together in your mother’s womb, forming your heart, your lungs, your rib cage, your kidneys and bladder, all 25 feet of your small and large intestines wound so carefully along the walls of your torso, adding the arms and legs, even down to the tiny tiny toes with their fragile and beautiful nails. He designed the color of your hair and added the sparkle to your beautifully colored eyes.

You were handcrafted by God. Doesn’t that blow your mind????

But that’s not all. God’s eyes looked you over very carefully to check out His workmanship and then He pronounced you “Good’ as He did all His creation in the Book of Genesis.

And then,

and then,

yes, even after all this, he counted the days He was giving you, the days He had planned out for you, every minute, every second, every hour, every year even before “there was none of them” - even before you had lived even one minute outside the womb.

God made the choice to fashion you after His own image. He took the time to do it perfectly. And you proudly proclaim that YOU believe in abortion? HOW DARE YOU LOOK GOD IN HIS FACE AND SAY YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DESTROY WHAT HE HAS MADE? HOW DARE YOU????

Passion

  “Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age”..  (James Joyce) I’ve often been accused of being too passionate, of caring too much about certain things.  But I believe that  passion, also defined as fervor or zeal, is  one of the essential core values of human life, along with the Apostle Paul’s Biblical list of the virtues of faith, hope and charity.  Passionate people have strong opinions and usually articulate them very well.  We are also perfectionists, and we don’t handle incompetence in the public arena very well, all of which tend to preclude us from being the most popular person in the room.  I long ago accepted the fact that I won’t have the largest funeral in Lebanon, nor will my obituary make the front page. But not everyone seems to care that much about anything other than their own lives.  T.S. Eliot once said, “It is obvious that we can no more explain pas...

COMMUNION ON THE MOON

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. (Melody Beattie) Americans need a day dedicated to gratitude. I have noticed that in the lineup of most of our holidays that Thanksgiving is perhaps the one least given over to secularism - the one we still observe in a traditional fashion. We need it to keep our focus clear and to teach our children what it means to be thankful for family, friendship and faith. We need a time to gather around the table with extended family and enjoy turkey and dressing and gravy, two kinds of potatoes, cranberries, hot rolls, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and whipped cream. We need it, not for the calories, but to create an awareness that there are those who don’t have those blessings, because in the hectic pace of our everyday lives we tend to forget those in need. Family and food are important, but above all else, Americans need a rededication to our faith. Faith brought the pilgrims to the ne...

LIQUID PRAYERS

I'm often asked why Tears fall from my eyes When my prayers ascend to the throne; It's so easy for me To shed tears, don't you see; That's the way I make my needs known. For the tears that I shed In the prayers that I've said Have all been kept by Him In a bottle rare; He has placed them there He has never forgotten them. For every tear Is a liquid prayer That waters the seed that we sow. Through the good times and bad Whether happy or sad The tears help our prayers to flow. Feel a tug in your heart? Then let the tears start When you take to God all your cares. He knows what you need; He hears when you plead; For tears are just liquid prayers. Written by Joan Rowden Hart 12.17.01, based on Psalm 56:8, “Thou tellest my wanderings; put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?”   This poem was inspired by my dear friend, Betty Shanks of Farmington , Mo , who coined the phrase “liquid prayers” after I had preached a sermon ...
