Pastor Mike's Corner

Reverend Warren asked then presidential candidate Obama when life began. President Obama’s answer was classic: It’s above his pay grade. I would tend to agree with that. None of us should be so presumptuous to constitute what is or what is not a life. Slavery, racism, abortion, euthanasia, and the likes are born when we boldly claim this is a “life worth living.” Only God can state when a life begins. According to Him, it begins at conception. So, Obama nailed the question. When does life begin? Answer: “I’m not God, I can’t determine that.”

Obama then goes on to say that the important thing is to reduce the number of abortions. Again, I was on board with this. Normally when a society falls further into moral depravity, making a change that will restore it to its previous position requires a miracle from the only one who is qualified to define what a life is and when a life begins. I call this the cats out the bag syndrome. You legalize abortion, its here to stay. It’s possible to go back…but that’s going to be a God sized restoration. The important thing is to prevent as many deaths as possible. The important thing is to prevent as many women from possible from scarring their physical bodies and psche.

In the last few days President Obama has made an interesting change. He has lifted a ban on government funding to those organizations outside the country that provide and preach abortion. Now, some of our tax dollars are going to be funneled into these organizations that disguise executing pre-born humans as family planning. Am I to now understand that determining when a life begins is now within Obama’s pay grade? Authorizing government funding and therefore government support must be a proclamation of when life begins. Why would you execute something that might be a human?

On any note, does this not fly in the face of something that Obama promised? He’s about reducing the number of abortions…right? How in the world does this reduce the number of abortions? It increases the number my friends; it increase it.

Over the next few days and months we are going to see more and more changes. Creating life to destroy it (stem cell research) and abortion as an American right (and covered by your tax dollars) are just some of the more interesting changes to come. President Obama, you said that we need to be about the least of these. Are not these babies the least of these? If you dont know if it is or is not a life, how can you possible support destroying it? If it might be a life, and according to God, it is, then why would you allow the proverbial trigger to be pulled? Why are you acting in such a way that's only going to increase abortions? Why did you promise one thing and deliever another?

Here’s a bumper sticker to consider: Obama lied, people died. Sound familiar?
