Pastor Jim Wood, who spoke during the prayer service preceding the March, encouraged all to stay strong. With the giant windows in the sanctuary darkened by massive low black clouds, he reminded us that “the stars come out at night. The darker it is the more brightly they shine. You are the light of the world, don’t hide that light.”
This is a serious call. He reminded us soberly that there is one place in Scripture where Jesus describes something worthless, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.”
As the first month of a new decade comes to a close, let us pray and fast that our “saltiness” will only increase and this will be the last decade of legalized abortion in our land.
In Him for life,
Chris
I decided to visit the Gallery after attending the March for Life the day before. There was an exhibit on processes of photography before the digital age that I hoped would confirm me in my refusal to give up on film. After searching my bag, the two guards at the Gallery told me, “You’re good to go in, but first you need to remove that pro-life pin.” He was indicating the small lime green pin with the message “impact73.org” and the silhouette of a small hand inside that of a larger hand that I had attached to the lapel of my coat. The pin, they informed me, was a “religious symbol” and a symbol of a particular political cause and it could not be worn inside a federal building. Why, I asked, can I not wear a religious or political symbol inside a federal building? Bringing to bear the full weight of the supreme law of the land, the guards informed that it was a violation of the First Amendment of the United States’ Constitution: The combination of me, wearing a pro-life pin, in a federal building was a violation of the separation of church and state.
