Isn’t a Horrible Thing Is Always a Horrible Thing?

 I watched this video and was mad. 

This woman had a child and let it die. She buried it somewhere.

At first, I felt compassion for this woman (and still feel some). Then I finished watching the video and learned that she'd done the same thing before. And I got real mad. But then... I really thought about all the comments of outrage (including my own) and wondered about something. What is the difference in what this woman did and the women who go to clinics and do the same thing every day?

A baby discarded is a baby discarded. Why does it make such a difference in where and how it's done? Here is the video.


Go and read the comments. Hear the anger and disgust. Now go look up stories of people advocating for medical abortions.

This woman was not raped or taken advantage of in any way. She had a man in her life who obviously loved her and was willing to marry her. She was not a confused teenager. She had options. She just did not want to deal with the consequences of having sex.

What is different about her and most of the women who walk into clinics every day and do the same thing she did: get rid of an unwanted child?

I'm waiting for the hatred that will be coming my way because of voicing this opinion in the YouTube comments. Oh boy.

**QUICK POST** Love Challenge, Life Challenge

 From my Bible study session this morning, here is a challenge. Look at 1 Corinthians 13:1-7. Now put Jesus's name in the place of "love". Perfect, right? Now, put your name in the place of "love". How'd you do? I failed. 



It's never a bad thing to check ourselves. It's always a good thing to check ourselves against the Bible's teachings. Our attitude, behavior, goals, and focus.

I am so thankful to the late Chuck Missler and Koinonia House Ministries. The Learn the Bible in 24 Hours video series is such a wonderful tool for personal and small-group Bible study. This is the KHousee YouTube channel and this is the website. For serious Bible study, check out the Koinonia House Institute. All the teaching is Berean-based.

**RELEVANT NEWS** June 3, 2023

 Because I sometimes think we Christians don't hold each other accountable, I am going to start sharing relevant news I run across. The "world" and the "skeptics" are watching for the worst in those who call themselves Christian. When someone sees news involving those who call themselves Christian, what must they think? Hopefully, they will see more positives than negatives.

I am hoping that I will be able to find more positive stories than negative ones. At any rate, this is the first post.


That's it for this post. Let's remember to pray for each other and pray for discernment.
