"Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in His sight" (I Chronicles 19:13).

Worse Than Coronavirus

Millions of Americans are worried about the COVID-19.  Our culture, economy, and every other aspect of life has been impacted by this virus.  It is being pushed to our attention just about anywhere we look.
 

COVID-19 is real.

And COVID-19 is a real concern for many people.  

It certainly has caused sickness, suffering, and death.

Lockdowns and edicts have been put in place--every extreme and minor measure has been taken by medical authorities and political leaders to stop it! It has taken precedence in our nation and our homes through the media.  
 
However, there is another malady in our midst.  It is not only more sinister than the dreaded Covid, it is pure evil.

It is also a real concern for many people (over 3000 a day--every day of every month--to be exact).  It causes great suffering...but most assuredly always causes death.  It has slain millions for decades and yet has not taken precedence in our nation or in our homes, and most certainly not in the media.  

And in the face of such horrific numbers and documented statistics, our medical community or our political community have done nothing to stop it!  

If you have not already guessed it, the evil to which I am referring is the sanctioned practice of child sacrifice!  And here I would like to point out a few comparisons when considering a threat to our nation.

Although the danger of COVID-19 is constantly kept before the public eye. The deathtoll from the intentional murder by abortion is ignored.

As of August 4, the deaths in the United States caused by COVID-19 tallied 156,549.  The U.S. deathtoll on August 4 itself was 1,392. 

Looking at the news coverage one would think that the Coronavirus is the greatest danger facing our country at this time, when in fact that is far from the truth.  

Deaths caused by a disease are most certainly tragic, but the death statistics of COVID-19 cannot be compared to death caused by abortion.  

There are (at least) 120 deaths that occur by the act of abortion every single hour (of every single day) statistically in our nation alone.  How many deaths were recorded by abortion from just May and June of 2020? More than 180,000! Over 180,000 little girls and boys betrayed by their parents and systematically destroyed in our own neighborhoods and in our own counties without one news report.  

Two months of abortion deaths surpassed the COVID-19 deaths of seven months!  Let that statement sink in.

And over 3,000 more will be added to the abortion death count every single day going forward.

What I desire to point out in this blog post is the utter mockery our nation has made of justice and mercy.  To call on every citizen to love their neighbors by staying inside or wearing a mask so as to keep each other safe from possibly getting a virus but ignore our littlest neighbor being purposely targeted for death--rather, exploiting and profiting from their murder--is unfathomable.  

The reasoning behind keeping abortion "safe and legal" is the OPPOSITE reasoning given for quarantine, the practice of social distancing, or the wearing of face masks. And yet those who desire to see the evil of abortion alive and well do so under the false pretense that they care for humanity.  Standing for abortion rights (or doing nothing in one's power to stop abortion) is a human rights hypocrisy. For a community to do all it can to keep itself and others safe, especially the elderly and those with weaker immune systems while at the same time allowing citizens to target the most vulnerable on purpose is unspeakable.  

And it is worth noting that, as Politifact states openly, 

"Abortion is an elective procedure, not a contagious illness."

Humans incidentally dying by a virus in the teeth of our exertions is a tragedy.

Humans being intentionally murdered with government and societal cooperation under "color" of law  is a travesty--and an heinous treachery.  

Let me expand on that last statement:
Abortion (child sacrifice) is an abomination
PROTECTED by government,
PROMOTED by society,
PROCURED by parents,
PRACTICED by the medical community, and 
PERMITTED by the church.

Did I just write, "Permitted by the church"?  

Yes I did!  As Francis Schaeffer wisely pointed out, "Every abortion mill should have a sign over the door that reads: Open by Permission of the Church." We are allowing child sacrifice to thrive just down the street from our places of worship while we live at peace with its existence.  Christians may not like abortion, but we have learned to accept and tolerate it.  This makes God's people complicit to the evil of our day.

We have been taught to be ProLife, but not Biblically consistent in our dealings with the murder of the innocent.  

Millions of ProLife Christians have done little to nothing to Biblically and practically seek equal protection for the preborn.  They have been taught to think it is wrong but not taught what it means to obey specific commands that follow their sentiment.

Millions of ProLife Christians are not demanding that their leaders establish equal justice by abolishing abortion as the murder that it is.

Millions of ProLife Christians have never once stood on the sidewalk outside an abortion mill to preach the Gospel and plead for the lives of the least of these.  

Multitudes of conservative, Bible believing Christians will say that abortion is murder, but won't treat it as the murder that it is.  (Just consider for a moment what the Church's response might be if the murder of 3 year old's became legal and protected fully under the law?) Is it more important to earn money, play a round of golf, enjoy a church potluck,or  practice hospitality in the home with other believers than it is to take a few hours in your life to be a voice for the voiceless--to plead with our legislatures to protect every human no matter their size of location, or to go where they are being murdered and plead for their very lives to be spared?

Consider:

  1. The number of the deathtoll from COVID-19 is grievous, the deathtoll from abortion is far greater.
  2.  The deaths from the virus are incidental, the deaths from abortion are intentional.
  3. There is well over a 90% recovery rate for those get sick from COVID-19, but if you are aborted, there is no chance of survival.
Finally, it is wise to remember that God is watching.  

Psalm 106:37-40
37 "Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,"
38 "And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood."
39 "Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions."
40 "Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance."

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34).

The Almighty God judged His own people for their shedding the blood of their children in human sacrifice.  How shall we escape, who have slain many, many more than they, and much else besides? 

After the persistent massacre of over 60 million fatherless children in the face of God, whatever tragically happens to our nation is far less than what we deserve.

"Thou God seest me."
 
Let us repent, and beseech His mercy in the midst of wrath (Habakkuk 3:2).

Lest we receive a judgment Worse Than Coronavirus.

Abortion must be abolished.
