Where Are We?

My heart truly grieves tonight. 

It was on this day, 43 years ago, that our nation decided that its own didn't matter. It was on this day that we determined the lives  of almost 100 Million babies weren't worth our trouble. We, as adult citizens of the One Nation Under God, revoked our responsibility to love and protect the unborn. We, the free, dressed up as judge and stripped the powerless of their freedom- their right to live. 

Today, 43 years later, there are those who celebrate this nauseating blood-pool that stains our history. Today there are those who applaud the leaders of this horrific crime.Today there are those who blatantly and without shame lied to the faces of countless terrified young women and their just-as-scared young men in order to grow the number of murdered children under their repertoire. Except it wasn't just today. It wasn't just yesterday, either. This has been happening everyday, into the night, legally, for the past 43 years. And you know what? It'll happen tomorrow too, and the day after that. 

Why has it lasted this long? Why has such hatred, such lies, such outright and celebrated murder been allowed to go on this long- and become increasingly popular? Because the believers in Love; The believers in Life; The believers in the One True King- Christ- and His way of salvation haven't done anything about it. We have turned our back on those who aren't even able to cry out for help yet in the name of not "offending someone" who has already been born. Go figure. 

Sure, we hold signs. Sure, we donate to centers. Sure, we "pray to end abortion"; but we haven't really *done* anything. If we, as the living body of Christ, were to unite and stand together in protest of this sin, God would happen. 

He tells us that:

"If My People, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their Wicked Ways THEN I WILL hear from heaven AND forgives their sins AND heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

You see, the Bible doesn't tell us that the nonbeliever have to pray and repent. It tells us that WE, His people, have that responsibility. We should be on our knees begging forgiveness. With tears streaming down our cheeks we should be seeking His face. 

Where are we?
