Another Day a new blog.

I realize that the person who needs to do more to support life is me. I'm the one who needs to do more to support candidates who I agree with. I'm the one who needs to talk more to people about life. I need to challenge those who say they hate abortion but still want to keep it legal for others. It's rediculous, if you think abortion is wrong then you can't support it. And I feel as strongly that you can't say abortion is wrong and allow other types of murder. Either all life is sacred or none is. None of us are pure and we can't say we are better than someone else, we don't know their hearts, only God does. God thirsts for their souls, even the souls of murderers. If a murderer fails to convert it is our own fault as well as theirs, especially if we kill them instead of keeping them in prison.

There are many souls in this world that are in darkness. I believe these souls are waiting for us to call them out of that darkness. If we never reach out to them and they never see the light aren't we also at fault? Some souls need intercessory prayer to prepare them the light. I need to pray more.

What I believe

I believe that God created everything and that He loves everything and everyone. I believe because of this all life is precious, especially human life because we were created in his image. Because of this I believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. More than wanting to see abortion made illegal, I would like to see it unthinkable. I would also like to see those who are so passionate about the abortion issue also throw that passion behind abolishing the death penalty, ending genocide, and euthanasia. I put myself in that catagory as well. If we want to stop abortion we need to make unnecessary in the worlds minds. If a woman didn't have to worry about health care during her pregnancy that would help. Also if a woman giving birth to a child she doesn't want or isn't able to care for and then giving it up for adoption became the norm and preferred than that would go a long way to stop abortions. Sometimes I think that the Prolife movement can be too negative and devicive. If you aren't already in the Pro-Life camp they can be pretty hard on those who otherwise might be able to be convinced. I also have a hard time with those who are anti-abortion but pro-death penalty. Jesus thirst for souls and wishes for all to come to Him in the end. When we prematurely end a life we rob Him of that soul. I think if we start from a place of Love, trying to Love one another the way that Jesus Loves us we can find a solution.
