Today’s Thought “Lost In Relevancy?” G. Ward

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

The Texas GOP recently voted to decimate funding to Planned Parenthood in their state. Although said to have great impact on many women throughout that state losing cancer and diabetes screenings, theirs sought to eliminate funding abortion. Many reject a notion in government or mankind’s delineation of what should be done with a body given them (cf.1 Cor.6:19-20). While this remains an ongoing debate, even highly politicized, did any contemplate greater resolve? What became of the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) campaign?

If it’s your body then tell disease to never show up (cf. Ps. 24:1)! Moreover, upon death take it with you onto your eternal reward or place of misery. Cultural permissiveness is not always God sanctioned (Isa.55:8-9). In the year to which you were born, what if your Mother aborted you? Well Greg there’s economics; if she can’t afford… In my era very few parents could afford another child. What if she’s very young and impregnated – you mean like the Virgin Mary kind of young? The final argument – what about in cases of incest or rape? Abraham married his half-sister Sara in Ur, surely Isaac should have been aborted? Let’s not pretend that we’ll ever understand why or how Holy God works. Ours is a stance in obedience (regardless) not full understanding (1 Cor. 13:8-10).

Happy Tuesday!
