From one of the many Sancitity of Human Life events in TN

It was exciting to see nearly 600 hardy souls slogging through the deep water along Kingston Pike on Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t a sporting event or movie premier that had them lined up for blocks; it was the memory of nearly 50 million children whose lives have been lost to abortion since the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decisions of 1973! Black and White, Yellow and Brown, young and old, teens and tweens, college students and babies in arms moved through the rain under colorful umbrellas that did little to keep them dry.

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
