I am personally for the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to the grave, and no less. It is my personal and spiritual conviction that legalized abortion has legalized the murder of the pre-born and that it is most certainly evil in every way, and should be abolished. I will go as far as to say that abortion is indeed genocide against the pre-born, America's holocaust and it must not continue.
I dare to say that the abortion industry stay's in business because of the modern day luke-warm Christian Church. If those who identify themselves as Christians would stop feeding their offspring to the Molek (the Devil) and stop paying the medically licensed hit men and women to kill their children, the abortion industry might just go out of business.
The ideology of abolition is simple enough, stop killing our children now! Abolish Abortion!
I confess that I have not done a lot with the society that I started because of the lack of funds and differences of belief with some of the people involved in the abolitionist movement. I am not of the reformed movement but raised in an independent Baptist Church where we the Gospel was clearly taught, and I believe in the free will of man to choose or reject the Gospel of Christ.
Some of the people in the movement are from a Calvinist background and I have butted heads with a few of them, and this has deterred me a bit. The issue I want to bring up is that I believe that the abolitionist movement has put the cart before the horse so to speak. I believe they have some very good ideas but that they changed some of their tactics they might be much more effective in changing the Church and Society.
I believe that if those in the abolitionist movement really want to see things change and abortion abolished. I believe that what is needed is for abolitionists to get inside of the Churches by raising up evangelists to preach the Law, Repentance, and Salvation pulpits of this nation, and to get abolitionists into positions within Local, State, and Federal Governments to the enacted change they desire.
Most importantly there will be NO abolition until there is Revival in the Church, and there will not be Revival in the Church until the people are broken over their own sin, and they will not be broken over their own sin until they hear the message, and are convicted in their hearts by the Holy Spirit of God. They will not hear the message from the pulpits unless those who desire to see God's people repent get on their knees in prayer first. We will not get on our knees until we are broken over out own sin and repent ourselves.
Basically, what I am saying is that they may preach the Gospel and believe the truth of God's Word yet the Spirit is not moving in those Churches because of religious traditions that kill the message of the Gospel, and religious legalism that chokes out any spiritual life that might otherwise be present. Religious Tradition and Religious Legalism are two things the Jesus hated and spoke against when he was confronted by the religious leaders of his day, the Pharesies.
Let's be honest here. Modern Day 'Christians' lack the Power of God, are luke-warm, self-absorbed, reject sound Biblical teaching and doctrine, and many are inoculated to the truth of the Gospel, meaning they grew up in a religious community and have head knowledge of God have not the heart knowledge of him.
Many Churches do not preach the need to personal repentance before God and so the people have never repented and are not born-again. They are what we call false converts, they have made professions of faith but do not possess what they profess. The Scripture is very clear that each of us must consciously turn from sin, confess the Lord Jesus Christ, and accept by faith the free gift or pardon Christ purchased for us on the Cross. Unless a person has recieved the baptism of the Spirit at the moment of conversion they have not been re-born from above.
We need to pray for God to raise up men of God to go and preach the Gospel and get inside of the Churches so that change can be enacted in the Body of Christ. We also need men and women within the movement to seek political office so we can begin to work to enact the change that needs to happen. This is why I feel that the abortion abolitionist
The Church needs fresh wind and fresh fire or it's going to become extinct. Westernized Christian is a complete joke, and we need to change things. We need to stop being so judgemental and start showing grace because grace wins. We need to preach the truth in love that does not mean being rude or obnoxious, but being firm yet gentle with people.
The Abolitionist Movement (AHA) needs to lose the condemnation and start showing more of God's Love and Grace so that people will respond in like manner. The Word of God says that 'a kind word turns away wrath'. There is a time and a place for confrontation but it should happen from the pulpit or the podium.
The pro-life movement has used tons of nasty pictures of abortion, and other tactics for years and I'm not sure they are all that effective in changing the culture. I have seen more people become turned off by these pictures and it is impossible to have a good conversation with someone who is visibly upset by them. There is a time and a place however to show these pictures and I totally understand why they are used and what their purpose is.
I'm sorry but I do not see much reason to stand outside an abortion clinic all the time when the average save rate is 1% according to what I have heard. This means that 99% of the pre-born in this nation are still being slaughtered. I understand the need for outreach and sidewalk evangelism, but how effective is it really? Tell me! If we have a save here and there yet the majority of babies are still being killed how is that changing the culture?
There should be more of a difference separating the abolitionists from the pro-lifers and it should be that stop doing what they are doing and engage the Church, the Government, and the Culture from the inside out. I believe this is the only way that we can truly abolish abortion. After all, William Wilberforce was inside the British House of Commons working to abolish the slave trade, and also working to expose the evils of slavery and change the hearts and minds of the people.
