Do you remember this image? It was created for the 1968 movie 2001: A space Odyssey. Little did they know that 55 years later it would be a perfect fit for a pivotal issue of our time.
My wife and I have two kids and two grandkids. We love them all dearly. We remember when each one of them was born and holding them in our arms. There is nothing more beautiful and innocent than a newborn baby. God agrees.
"Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them." - Psalm 127:3-5
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14
If God loves the little children, why do the majority of Americans (62%) support the killing of them?
This is not a political issue. It is a moral and spiritual one. God's will is to not shed innocent blood, yet we are disobedient. As a result, it will not go well for us.
God's first and greatest commandment is to love, not to kill. There are no qualifiers to His command. Old, young, black, white, male female. We are to love EVERYBODY. Even those in the womb.
"Do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked." - Exodus 23:7
"They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death." - Psalm 94:21
"He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord." - Proverbs 17:15
"They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death." - Psalm 94:21
"He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord." - Proverbs 17:15
"Let us love one another for love comes from God." - 1 John 4:7
