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

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Billy Graham, Holiness, and Leadership

By
A few years ago, I was listening to a radio program on which Marshall Shelley was being interviewed about his new book, The Leadership Secrets of Billy Graham (Zondervan, 2005). They were giving away a few copies of the book to those who called in, and something inside me felt compelled to call. But I didn’t have a good question to ask, so I prayed to the Lord and said, “If you want me to have a copy of this book, please give me a good question to ask and I’ll call.” I’m not sure if the Lord gave me this question or if it just popped into my head, but one way or the other, I thought to ask about the connection in Billy’s life between his private pursuit of holiness and integrity, and his public effectiveness and longevity. So, I made the call and was given the last copy of the book they had to give. A couple of years earlier, I had breakfast with some friends and the subject of Billy Graham’s life and ministry came up. We talked mostly about his commitment to integrity in the area...

Catechisms: Building a Heritage of Sound Faith - By Pastor Kevin Feder

By
This is an article I (Pastor Kevin) wrote in 2005 and updated in 2017. It is featured in a new resource available through Children’s Desiring God called Discipleship through Doctrinal Teaching and Catechism by Sally Michael.  It is our desire to encourage parents to use a children’s catechism as a tool in building and strengthening faith in children. A simple definition of a catechism is “organized teaching.” Catechisms are not the only things that can or should be used to instruct the next generation, yet they have useful purposes. Listed here are ten specific benefits a catechism can uniquely offer. Hopefully these ten points will help parents understand how a catechism can be effectively used in their families. 1.  A catechism is a very clear and complete gospel message. A catechism is, among other things, a very clear and concise gospel message to children. Everything a child needs to know for salvation is embodied within a catechism. The gospel is truly ama...
