I Loved This Movie

This movie is absolutely worth watching. Michelle and I watched it over at Walter and Ily's house the other night. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas illustrates the equality of race and the sanctity of life. I highly recommend this movie. And yes, it is sad, but it is very good.

Mr. Piper and Mr. President

Whew, John Piper goes off on the relationship between the President and abortion. Read his blog, Being Pro-Life Christians Under a Pro-Choice President. Two of his most crucial points that he addresses directly to the President are:

Are you willing to explain why a baby's right not to be killed is less important than a woman's right not to be pregnant?

And if you say that everything hangs on whether the fetus is a human child, are you willing to go before national television in the oval office and defend your support for the "Freedom of Choice Act" by holding in your hand a 21 week old fetus and explaining why this little one does not have the fundamental, moral, and constitutional right to life? Are you willing to say to parents in this church who lost a child at that age and held him in their hands, this being in your hands is not and was not a child with any rights of its own under God or under law?

Thought provoking for sure. Any thoughts?

Fear of God and Sanctity of Life

Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live...And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families (Ex 1:15-17,21).

As you read, the king of Egypt wanted to kill all the male babies that were born due to the rapid population increase of the Hebrews. He was scared that they would defeat him. These midwives feared God and did not obey the commands of someone who was supposedly the ultimate authority.

The sanctity of life is likened here to the fear of God. Why did the ladies fear God? Because they knew that God did not approve of the killing of innocent children. God blessed them for this and provided for them. It is something good for us to remember: the sanctity of life is associated with the fear of God. Therefore, it would seem logical to state that the people who are receiving/performing abortions do not fear God.

Let us be mindful of this in regards to abortion and "human rights."

Volition

Volition (n): The act of willing, choosing, or resolving; exercise of willing.

People are willfully choosing to strip human rights away from helpless people. In the past, African American slaves were so horribly dealt with, then Nazis tried to extinguish the Jewish race, and now abortion runs wild in America, deliberately killings millions of babies.

This movie, "Volition," is a great short film (15 minutes) that ties African American slavery, Nazi Germany, and abortion all in one. It is an amazing film. I highly recommend it! Please watch it and let it stir up your emotions and touch your heart, motivating us to love on others in a Christlike manner and view them as He does.
