Job's Answer To The "Pro-Choice" Folks

For 35 years, masses of men and women have sought to appease their consciences with faulty conjecture, namely that an unborn child does not constitute human life. One need look no further than their flaccid attempts at re-defining terms. The unborn boy or girl has become "pregnancy tissue."

Some say the child is not "human" until the second trimester of a mother's pregnancy; others insist this change takes place some time in the third trimester. Still others are adamant in their belief that a child is not fully human until it has been delivered and taken his or her first breath.

But why stop there? Some "ethicists" have been known to say killing a living, breathing infant outside the mother's womb is not immoral or unethical. Peter Singer, the well-known professor of bioethics at Princeton University made a sickening statement in a 1999 lecture. The following is an excerpt from Paul Zielbauer's article that appeared in the October 13, 1999 edition of The New York Times:


''I do not think it is always wrong to kill an innocent human being,'' Professor Singer told the rapt audience in Harold Helm Auditorium. ''Simply killing an infant is never equivalent to killing a person.''


A statement like this may surprise you...but it shouldn't. Mt. Singer's extreme views on this issue are merely the logical end to that which many of our neighbors, friends, and family have been convinced -- namely that it is the mark of compassion to support "a woman's right to choose."

Now that we have heard from Peter Singer, perhaps we should allow the Lord our God (the Creator and Judge of all mankind) to have a word:

Did not he [God] who made me in the womb make him [servant]? And did not one [God] fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:15, ESV

God uses the pen of Job to assure us that he [God] makes us in his own image by placing a living spirit within us as he shapes us in our mothers' wombs!

Friend, it's past time to let the politicians and judges who are leading our morally decaying nation into the abyss that we will no longer stand by and watch millions of innocent infant boys and girls be legally butchered (literally)! When we stand in judgment before the same God who hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16-17), how will we rationalize casting our votes for men and women we knew would perpetuate this brutal and heartless sin?

Boundless Divine Care

"As the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sand of the sea cannot be
measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me."
Jeremiah 33:22, ESV

In 1837, Johann Hey wrote a poem that would later become the lyrics to a hymn we sing to this day. The words were set to a German Folk tune. Do you recognize them?

Can you count the stars of evening

That are shining in the sky?

Can you count the clouds that daily

Over all the world go by?

God the Lord who doth not slumber,

Keepeth all the boundless number:

But He careth more for thee,

But He careth more for thee.

Hipparchus, who lived several hundred years after the prophet Jeremiah (ca. 150 B.C.) confidently asserted his knowledge of the "fact" that there were exactly 1,026 stars in the universe. Ptolemy, the renowned Roman scientist who lived in the time of Christ, disagreed with the findings of the great Hipparchus. He claimed knowledge of an additional 30 stars, which brought the number up to 1,056. It was not until Galileo's telescope that man began to understand the firmament of the Lord contains a vast, "boundless number" of stars.

It is estimated by current astronomers that there are about Ten Billion galaxies within range of the powerful 200-inch telescope. Consider the fact that Einstein figured total space to be at least 100,000 times greater than observable space, and our most recent and best guesses bring the total up to at least 100 Septillion stars in the universe!! If you have trouble visualizing that figure (like me), here is what it looks like written out...

100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's a one with 26 zeros behind it!)

When God used the hand of Jeremiah to write, "the host of heaven cannot be numbered," he really meant it!!! To count the stars would be like trying to count every single grain of sand on all the shores of the earth (Genesis 22:17). If everyone in the world were to unite in an effort to count the stars, each person would count more than 50 Billion of them without the same star being counted twice! Is it not amazing that the God who made them all knows each one by name (Psalm 147:4)? Is it not even more impressive that he cares for you and me more than these (Matthew 6:25-34)?
