Some Saturday Thoughts...Top Ten List and Obama's Costly Abortion Decision

Today we continue our video series on "Ways to Cut-Costs in a Lousy Economy."
#9 - Trade in your teen's car for a cheaper form of transportation.

Of course, it might help if they had some type of rider's training which might cost a little but is much cheaper than "Driver's Education." Remember, we are just having some fun. We will have #8 tomorrow on the "Sunday Wrap-up."

On a more serious note...and I mean very serious. One of President Obama's first acts in office was to strike down a rule Friday that prohibits U.S. money from funding international family-planning clinics that promote abortion or provide counseling or referrals about abortion services. The policy, referred to by critics as "the global gag rule," was initially announced at a population conference in Mexico City. Reversing the previous administrations' stance on the policy was one of Clinton's first acts as president in January 1993 and the very first executive order issued by Bush on January 22, 2001, the 28th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Critics, including Planned Parenthood, called Bush's move a "legislative ambush." However, President Bush defended his action, saying, "It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortion or actively promote abortion."

So what does this mean for you and I? Congratulations, your tax offerings and mine will be used to pay for hundreds of thousands and eventually millions of babies to be murdered around the world for the next four years (Obama's tenure). As a Christian and one who has God's Holy Spirit residing within, this makes me sick in my stomach...I am not exaggerating.

For you that profess Christianity but vote for politicians who are pro-choice, please consider what God says about human life inside the womb...or maybe you don't care what God says.
Psalms 139:13-18 "You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart. When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there---you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began. O God, how difficult I find your thoughts; how many of them there are!If I counted them, they would be more than the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you."

Now that's pretty clear and very black and white! You and I and our government is paying for children to be sucked out of wombs and for scissors to be jabbed into the skulls of the millions of babies. These are just two of the procedures that are used to kill a baby in the mother's womb during an abortion. What are the consequences of a nation that promotes and pays for the killing of millions of innocent children? Seriously, I shudder to think what lies ahead of us as nation.

What are you saying Pastor? I am saying God won't look the other way. He hasn't in the past and He won't in the future. God told Israel long ago in Leviticus 20 that anyone that would hand over their seed(children)to the god Molech should be put to death and should be stoned by the people. In case you don't know, it is traditionally thought that children were burned alive when given to the god Molech. God says His face is against the person or family that offers His seed to Molech. God says in Leviticus 20 He takes this personally (the killing of a child). He says it is defiling His sanctuary and profaning His name.

God has not changed his mind. He has not changed. He still judges a people that chooses to put children to death. Can I ask you a question? What if on the ABC evening news, video was shown of little kittens being ripped out of the womb of it's mother? What do you think the reaction would be? You know, the PC crowd especially would go crazy! They would be boycotting ABC news and their sponsors the next day. However, as a nation, we choose to look the other way as millions of babies are being ripped and sucked to death out of their mother's womb...and again, we are paying for it to happen...you and I.

What can we do as Christians? Other than do everything we can to keep abortions from happening, I don't know. I think as a nation we are headed for national tragedies like we have never seen before if we don't repent soon.
