Mid-Week Challenge

The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah lived in a time similar to ours.  He proclaimed the Word of the Lord in the middle of a society in crisis.  Political correctness was not a term back then but the stories recorded in the book that bears his name are almost like reading a modern online news article.  People had disregarded God, ignored Jeremiah’s preaching and basically did whatever, whenever they wanted.  It was a time of personal indulgence and self-satisfaction with no thought to the ramification of one’s actions on another.  In Jeremiahs observation, things were so bad that he penned these words in chapter 6 verse 15: 

Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD.

As momma taught us, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.  So I say at least they were telling the truth about what they were doing.  And that is worse still.  They were so unashamed of their behavior that they made no attempt to hide their intentions.  They openly sinned and flaunted their blatant disdain for the things of God.   

Fast forward to today. Planned Parenthood officially endorsed Joe Biden for president on Monday.  The endorsement was made in a two-minute video by Planned Parenthood Action Fund featuring acting president Alexis McGill Johnson. Biden also appeared in the video, saying he “will protect women's constitutional right to choose.”  “I'm proud to stand with you in this fight,” Biden said.  But the kicker came when Alexis McGill Johnson proclaimed to NPR, "This is literally a life and death election.  We felt like we can't endure another four years of Trump; we have to do everything we can to get him out of office." https://www.npr.org/2020/06/15/876893948/planned-parenthood-backs-biden-seeing-a-life-or-death-election-ahead

Did you catch that? The organization that is responsible for killing millions of unborn babies said, “This is literally a life and death election.”  I could not have said it better myself, but she is leveraging abortion as a positive to vote for Biden and he agrees! Why would you want to be associated with an organization that makes no attempt to cover their track record on abortion?  In the past they have tried to hide behind the umbrella term “women’s health.”  What human being is not concerned with women’s health? But to lump the whole, to have to take the good with the bad is unfair.  But that is exactly how they have framed their position.  Accept abortion or you are against women’s health.  Now they are openly transparent with their intentions.  It’s not really about women’s health, it’s about abortion.  Women’s health is a byproduct of their actual pursuit unrestricted abortion.  Will this be enough for Christians to see the true intentions of this godless organization?  Will it be enough to finally get those on the fence about what this election is really about to blush? This organization makes no attempt to hide what they really believe, will you?  Time will tell.  

Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster. Deuteronomy 30:15
