Hypocrisy Over Syria




President Obama made an East Wing address to the nation about the situation in Syria, and a glaring hypocrisy jumped out at me. Here is a quote from his speech:

“The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children.  The images from this massacre are sickening…children lying in rows, killed by poison gas.”

The President’s emphasis on the “hundreds of children” was used to tug on the country’s heartstrings. In case anyone is riding the fence, pointing out that Assad murdered children will put them over the edge. How can anyone gas children?

And that is a great question to ask. But how dare anyone look down on Assad for poisoning children yet not care that saline-injected abortions take place in this country every day!

America has poisoned more children than Assad. Millions more.

In many abortion cases, saline, a poison, is injected into the womb, causing the baby to shrivel up and die. Science has proven that babies feel the burn as the poison kills them.

The same man standing behind the podium drumming up support against Syria recently stood behind another podium and said, “God bless Planned Parenthood.” God bless the country’s leading provider of abortion?

We rightfully hate what Assad does* to young, innocent children who have their lives ahead of them. We hate how they died a painful death. But why does that hate reach around the world yet fail to make it down the street? Why is it evil in the 3rd world but “healthcare” in the 1st world?

Young, innocent children with their lives ahead of them die painful deaths inside the womb, and it is completely legal.

Finally, notice the plan of action the President left us with:

“Indeed, I’d ask every member of Congress, and those of you watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then ask:  What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?”

He told us to view the videos of children suffering. That is the same reason why abortion providers fight tooth and toenail to keep their customers from seeing ultrasounds and pictures of abortions and aborted babies. They know that a picture is worth a thousand words, and exposes a thousand lies.

So take a page from the President’s playbook. Go to Google and type in saline abortion, vacuum aspiration abortion, or aborted fetus. Don’t like what you see? Then oppose abortion and vote prolife.


*This is assuming that the information we were given is correct and Assad is responsible for the chemical weapons that were used. This has not been necessarily proven yet.

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he...

Evangelism

“Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.” St. Francis of Assisi is given credit for this famous quote (although that exact phrasing does not appear in any of his writings), and a lot of people would think that this is a great philosophy. His actual quote was that everyone should “preach by their deeds.” Preaching with our deeds is not just a strategy, it is a necessity. We are commanded all through the Scriptures to let our light shine and be a peculiar people. People should be able to look at our lives and see that we are Christians. They should see the love of Christ readily on display, and thus feel compelled to live their lives in the same way. The sermon that we should preach with our lives is a sermon of love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, forgiveness, conviction, etc. But this idea that has emerged that says we should ONLY preach with our deeds is a heresy straight from the devil himself. Think about it: who is the one that does not want you t...

All Things To All Men

One of our favorite verses to use in our evangelism methods is where Paul said that he “becomes all things to all men” so that he might “by all means save some (I Corinthians 9:22).” This is certainly a good idea if we keep it in its proper context and application. For example, I remember a time in high school where I knew a kid that loved skateboarding. Being the chicken that I am, I was never a skateboarder. All he would talk about was skating, and I knew none of his lingo. But to help develop a relationship with him (he was new to our church and didn’t know many people), I brushed up on my skating lingo so I could ask if he had done any sick ollies lately (impressed?). This would be like Paul saying “to the skateboarder, I became a skateboarder.” This is effective and necessary. But then there are the people that use this verse to justify doing sinful things in the name of evangelism. The first one that comes to mind is about drinking. Some people will go into the bars to evan...
