Excerpt
From
the National Life Chain Press Release:
On October 1 National
Life Chain Sunday 2017 will conduct our 30th annual prayer witness on
"village" sidewalks throughout
America
and
Canada
. Our witness, Lord willing, will again change hearts, save lives, and
further unveil the grievous curse of legal child killing in our two
nations. The duty of ending the killing rests foremost with the church
Christ founded and that is now entrusted to us. Were our resolve and
courage anchored, God would redeem our limitations and grant victory for
His glory.
When, then, will we of
the Western democracies, the staunch advocates of human rights, discern
our submission to the spiritual powers that create and nourish
holocausts? When will we realize that it does "take a
village," an entire village, to sustain the carnage devouring our
culture? Each village segment must contribute, either actively or
passively, to the "grievous peace" that holocausts require. To
succeed, holocausts must first subdue their chief opponent, the church;
and the Western pulpit and pew began their incremental surrender years
ago, as seen during
U.S.
slavery and Nazi aggression.
Will we permit today's
holocaust to profane God's name interminably? Will law enforcement
safeguard, evermore, the killers' clinic doors and then punish
lifesavers who interfere nobly and non-violently? Can no injustice shame
us? Can no moral cause gain our sacrificial commitment? If abortion law
were extended to two-year-olds, like unto Herod's decree, would we
resist or yield? Are preborns less deserving of life than two-year-olds?
As to why we fail to shield our nation's at-risk little ones, the answer
has yearned to convict us in the
U.S.
for a half-century (1967-2017). We do not shield the defenseless
children because we do not love them - the same reason why the church
did not shield
America
's slaves.
Participation on
National Life Chain Sunday 2017 will again rely heavily on pastoral
leadership in each city and town. Please pastors, preach Life and
implore your congregation to stand with those "led away to
slaughter." Defy the dark powers that are binding the church.
Shatter the "deadly peace" in your local "village."
Lead your congregation to your sidewalks on October 1 and lift up a
witness for God to use as He purposes. Might the recent eclipse and
current fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and war threats be alerting us?
