The Insanity and Hypocrisy of being pro-choice by Pastor Kevin

By
Ann and father Jason Poon

A heartwarming story hit the internet this morning about two identical twins, born 12 weeks early, that were reunited with one another for the first time in 27 days since they have been out of the womb. That isn't why the story broke on People Magazine and other news outlets. What made this story so newsworthy is the picture, worth a thousand words, of the two babies hugging each other as they lay upon their mother. So cute. So heartwarming and heart-melting at that. We are left with a beautiful picture of human connection, bonding together well before they could ever speak a word.

Yet these two little babies, who should still be in the womb for another two months, have a lot to say. I couldn't help but wonder how, especially in light of the barbaric laws recently passed in New York that allows babies such as these to be massacred, anyone pro-choice could find this heartwarming and not haunting? Make no mistake, I am not targeting the fact that these babies are so cute and could have been aborted. No, my point goes a little deeper than that. Here are a few considerations:

The in the womb and out of the womb connection this story highlights
The heartwarming aspect of this story assumes the connection between the bond that was formed in the womb and how that was carried on outside of the womb. Why did the two babies hug each other? Well, the suggestion is this, they knew each other and loved each other and bonded in real ways while in the womb. To celebrate the bond outside of the womb requires us to celebrate it inside the womb as well. This story forces that point. To the extent that we recognize the preciousness of a child reaching out to embrace her sister we must equally abhor the barbaric interruption of that as it is forming in the womb.

The insanity and hypocrisy of abortion
Could you imagine ripping the babies off of her mothers chest while they were embracing and then tearing them apart from each other? This story implies how unnatural it was for the two twins to be separated for 27 days, highlighted by the fact that when they were reunited, they knew it immediately. Can you imagine attaching metal suction devices to their brains so they could be sucked out and then broken down to pieces and disposed of like one would break down an old chair so it can fit into a trash can? If that sounds barbaric and terrorizing, just remember, its exactly what a pro-choice person supports and celebrates. Personally, I am surprised this story was even published because it leaves the insanity and hypocrisy of the pro-choice position unavoidable. How is this story not screaming at their consciences?

Let's continue to fight for life and celebrate the preciousness of life that this article points us to. God is the giver of life and he is the one who stitches people together in the womb from the moment of conception. There is something beautiful and sacred about His presence in a baby's life, this story makes that point inescapable. I pray everyone would see it that way.

With hope in Christ,
Pastor Kevin

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
