Billy Hallowell of FAITHWIRE Reports:
The Satanic Temple, based in Salem, Massachusetts, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Indiana over a new abortion ban that has been codified into law. Satanists are making a string of claims about the impact such restrictions have on women — as well as Satanists’ general religious freedom rights.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed 13 abortion bills into law this week, removing all penalties for ending the life of an unborn child in the womb.
Here’s my point: faithful Christ followers must work with urgency for moral and spiritual awakening not only for the sake of unrepentant sinners facing judgment but for our sake as well.
Transformational encounters with God empower our faith in the face of disease and disaster. And they lead sinners to repentance before natural consequences or divine punishments for their sins affect us, our children, and our grandchildren.
Jesus called us to “walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you” (John 12:35). Either we walk in the light of Christ or we are overtaken by the dark. You and I are moving forward with Jesus or we are moving away from him. The spiritual life is not a level road but a mountain: we are either climbing up or we are sliding down.
And as we go, so goes the nation we are called to serve as “the” salt and light (Matthew 5:13–16).
FGGAM STATEMENT OF FAITH:God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.
as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Bob posted this on Facebook yesterday: If conservatives lose elections because Roe v Wade was overturned, then our country is in irreversible decline. It is especially discouraging when so many churches and supposed Christians are pro-choice. (Euphemism for pro-abortion which is an euphemism for pro infanticide)
