What is right and good is derided by most people today... and this about abortion is absolutely true...sin snowballs. So happy to have found you!

By now, we have all heard horror stories about a number of babies who have survived abortion only to be killed after their entrance into this world.

I think this way too and find it frightening how something loses it's horror in familiarity.<br /><br />In the heartbreaking case of abortion, after coming here I remember puzzling and agonizing over what I could possibly say in defense of life when this topic would undoubtedly come up...and suddenly, it was like I was just struck by the simplicity of what I believe and the absolute absurdity of "being in the wrong" or "oldfashioned" for saying that every child should have the right to life. <br /><br />So very sad. So many things that would have been shameful and appalling before are now more than tolerated, they are promoted. <br /><br />Praying for our world...Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-10828682595335612192011-03-03T06:53:19.143-05:002011-03-03T06:53:19.143-05:00Your last paragraph Mary says it all.

Mother Teresa saw it and was always quite vocal about it- we should be too. A country that allows its unborn to be killed will stop at nothing.<br />Thanks for the truthful and insightful post, Mary.<br />God bless!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124468084334204166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-85561760800258091762011-03-03T03:07:56.993-05:002011-03-03T03:07:56.993-05:00This is a great and intelligent post.

It's almost as if He "allowed" us to sin, albeit it is wrong and evil. The alternative was for Him to create a race of robots pre-programmed to do His will. But that would hardly be love - would it?<br /><br />So, in His love for us, He allowed us the freedom to choose. For reasons best known to Him alone He is now allowing sin to run wild throughout the world. You are right in saying that since the 1950s attitudes have changed and what was considered wrong then is tolerated and accepted now. Perhaps, (and that's my guesswork), ... perhaps God is testing some of us to stand our ground and know right from wrong.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
