Lila Bober,Helen and I attended the first of five volunteer training sessions at Lifeline in Beaver last night. Although it wasn’t pleasant,it was a great benefit to be reminded of how horrible abortion is,and what a danger it is to mothers who are being conned into thinking that this is a simple,ethical way of dealing with the "problem"of a baby. What an evil thing abortion is,and although you hear enough about "pro-life"vs. "pro-choice"politics,I’m struck with how little people know about the actual facts of abortion–how they are performed,what is actually taking place at conception and during the development of the unborn baby.
I believe God has given Beaver Baptist Church the privilege of being involved in his work at Lifeline. We are called to join God in His mission to take the gospel to a perishing world,and that involves both showing and telling the gospel. As disciples of Jesus we are to learn from Him by listening to His words and watching his deeds,then to go and imitate Him. Both physical life and eternal life are gifts from God,and the gospel is meant to address both of these. Let’s challenge our world to "choose life!"
