Sanctity of Life - Jerry - New Strategy
JAY AND GENE, I still believe we need a new strategy (perhaps Gene’s wise counsel below) or at least discuss the strategy and the biblical ramifications of this with “leaders” and those with a heart for this killing of babies in the pro-life community, as discussed in our early 2006 conference phone call Board meeting of COR (when I proposed this and we pursued the #22 Essentials, which is excellent work). Our shameful baloney about the partial-birth abortion matter, with congressional legislation a few years back, finally culminating in the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ban on this “procedure” and Justice Kennedy’s remarks on it (again confusing and maybe deceiving pro-lifers) which ONLY did one thing: stop a particularly gruesome way of killing babies who are ready for birth, with various restrictions. It did not really stop even one baby from being murdered in or out of the womb by abortionists, who can go to other gruesome procedures as well and get around the restrictions. We are always so kind (and we think we are being wise as serpents, but more we are harmless as doves, but non-effective) - by taking little tiny baby (so to speak) steps in this abortion industry and blight on America. I like Gene’s proposal (approach) and think much brainstorming talk needs to be done, with the high powered groups out there fighting the battle. We must stand for godly (God’s) principles and commandments. Oh my gosh, how many years in America will the church continue to kow-tow on this issue, pussyfoot around, and tolerate the murdering of innocent (so to speak) children before they are born or even at birth!!!!! We can rescue some at abortion mills, and that is good. We can pray all we want, but we need a comprehensive (2.4 year) plan to end it; through Imprecatory Prayer and wiser and better approaches to reach people and save children and terminate the “legal” murders, etc. etc.
A summit meeting of key people, and some others at the mills, and those we are getting on our lists. Who is ever going to do it when we are all going our separate ways, with approaches that are good intentioned and making some difference. But even after this partial birth ban, we are NO better (other than maybe the general public becoming a little bit more aware). The opposition took on the pro-choice banner (verbiage) as their campaign a long time ago, and we have yet to counter that garbage effectively. I do not have the answers, but I believe Gene is on the right track; and COR and Int’l Church Council has one of the better biblically-reasoned position papers. We need a summit on this issue! (I think even more than “organizing” trying to get pastors and pastor councils going around the country which will take umpteen years; while a much worthy goal)….. IF we can’t lick abortion in the USA after 35 years, when will we ever do so. Business as usual is not making much of a dent. Radical approaches and campaigns, and action with prayers, coordinated perhaps among key pro-life groups and people. Like the Unruh’s in So. Dakota – Jay’s friends. But so many more. Like the Florida group Jay met with. But Operation Rescue, National Right to Life League and so many more groups and people; we could come together and at least talk about a new direction or continue to the old direction. As Pastor Ed Martin in Florida, who goes to mills several days a week to rescue babies and mothers, says: The Church could stop abortion quickly if we were all serious about doing so (most pastors aren’t)!
Shall we take the lead on this (as a main and primary focus, along with Solemn Assemblies) of our 24-year Plan (and make it our 2.4 year goal) to END ABORTION IN AMERICA!!!!!????????
Any furthering thoughts on this? Do we have a Sanctity of Life Committee and what is it doing about getting our documents into the hands of those who are interested in this pro-life Christian matter and then to maybe get everyone we can together (discreetly if possible) to hammer out a focus and new strategy the Lord may give us as to how to reach more people, and shut down more clinics and override the Supreme Court with their insane pronouncements and decisions on allowing legal murder of our children and for so long. The impotent Church must arise to this task!!!!!! Jerry
