SAN DIEGO,
January 22 /Christian
Newswire/
-- Over the past 18 years of my life, I have
worked to save the unborn by appealing to the
churches. I have believed the notion that it
takes time to win churches and pastors to our
pro life stance. You know ...over time we'll
convince the Christians to not kill their own
children. But the lives of so many children have
been lost in that noble effort and you might ask
why? Even though there are some churches that
have been actively pro life, that has not been
the norm; it has been the exception. So we
should rightly weep over the thousands of unborn
children who are killed each day in America;
either surgically or by abortifacient drugs,
such as the 'Pill' and RU486. The killing of
unborn children has continued in the churches
and our communities, in the name of weak
Biblical teaching, moral cowardice; even
upholding the apostate teaching of "reproductive
choice."
So sadly, in most churches, it's too late. I
really mean it, it's too late. It is time for
mourning the loss of truth, justice and
righteousness in the churches. At this point you
may be saying that I'm playing the blame
game...you're right! It is time that we the
church take the blame for being weak in our
condemnation of the horrific promotion of child
killing in the church. It is time for pastors to
weep because they must now take responsibility
for the deaths of so many unborn children in
their flocks and communities. It seems apparent
that most pastors love peace more than truth and
fear their flocks more than God.
It makes me wonder what Jesus would say to the
churches today, if He rebuked us, just as He
passionately rebuked the Pharisees. But why
would Jesus rebuke us? We are a lot better than
those Pharisees? Right? I don't think so. To
whom much is given, much is required. I believe
that Jesus would have to say these passionate
words to us.
"Woe to you pastor's, hypocrites! Because you
preach the love of your fellow man, but you have
turned your backs on the most helpless members
of your church, the unborn child!
Woe to you churches, for you have said we have
built wonderful churches for ourselves. So you
admit that you have created monuments to your
indifference to the unborn child and pregnant
woman in crisis! You have tithed for your own
ease and status, but your use of tithes will
witness against you as the neglecting of the
weightier provisions of the Law, justice, mercy
and faithfulness.
Woe to you body members, who sit idly by as the
children in the womb are torn apart and you say
I see nothing! (Proverbs 24:11-12) Woe to you
Christians; for you expect the Christ to be your
advocate at the moment of your death and have
neglected to advocate for the least of these at
the moment of their death. (Matthew 25:45)
Woe to you pastors and church members, who honor
the government with your lips, but will not be
part of it, saying it is too political, and did
not understand that it is a ministry of God.
(Romans 13:1-4) It was I who gave you the
authority to vote and run for office so that
righteousness and justice would prevail, even
for the unborn, but you have given the
government to those who blaspheme my name and
love the shedding of innocent blood. You will
passionately demand justice for yourselves, but
will not lift a finger for the unborn.
Woe to you pastor's, preachers of the Word!
Hypocrites! You say that you rightly divide the
word, but are afraid that you might lose your
building, livelihood and church members, if you
offend church members with the words "thou shalt
not kill the unborn!" You have shut out those
who have needed repentance and forgiveness for
abortion by your silence and cowardice from your
very pulpits! Thus your flocks have added sin
unto sin, in their continued child slaying and
gross immorality.
Woe to you board members, committees! Blind
guides! You will fund a missionary to travel
land and sea to make one convert, but it is in
your own churches that the pagan teaching of
'choice' and child killing prevail! Judgment
must first start with the household of God!
Behold I am sending to you prophets and wise men
and gentle warriors. Some of them you will
ostracize in your churches and others you will
forbid to speak out in defense of the "least of
these", that upon you may fall the guilt of the
pre born child's blood!"
Beloved believers, I implore you. If a church or
pastor cannot feel the gravity of murder by
abortion, then how can we say that the church is
the pillar of truth? How can we open the doors
of our church saying that we love one another
and do not speak clearly that abortion is
murder, even in cases of rape, incest, or
deformity? We have no right to call ourselves
Christians if we embrace murder. For we know
that no murderer has eternal life. (1 John 3:15)
How can we say that we hate the violence of the
world while affirming a woman's right to kill
her unborn child by our silence? The unborn
child's blood has cried out to God each day. May
that witness not be against us!
It is time for the whole church to mourn the
loss of truth, righteousness and justice
concerning the unborn. I am pleading for all
Christians to weep and repent over the sickening
condition of the church. It must not be business
as usual in which we pat each other on the back
about our so called God blessed ministries. It
is a time for mourning the fact that so many are
willing to defend and make excuses for their
pastor's lack of spiritual backbone to preach
the truth about abortion. Any pastor who cannot
openly and passionately condemn abortion has no
right to be in the pulpit. This is not just
another issue, its murder. There are thousands
of unborn children dying by the hand of church
members each day! We can make all of the excuses
in the world, but our actions speak louder than
words.
If it is not natural for a church to tell the
truth and defend the unborn, stop calling
yourself a Christian church, you have no right
or authority to do so, just close the church
doors…Please!
