One man said, "You can tell the strength of a society by how they treat their WEAKEST members." If this statement is true than Canada is lacking a great deal as a society. We abort over a million children every year! We introduce easy ways for the elderly to "leave" the planet if they so desire.
These thoughts become standard in society and if you were to publicly oppose them you would find great opposition. These positions of thought have been "well" thought out by the "wise" of our society. And so laws are passed and people are given choices that "in good conscious" can take the lives of others. We can this "our freedoms"!
In a culture that devalued children, women and the poor, Jesus arrived. His views challenged the thought of His day. He flipped the common thinking on its head.
Mark 10:13 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
Jesus publicly rebuked His own disciples for how they treated children. Children are special to God. We live in an age where the most dangerous place for a child to be in Canada is in a mother's womb. These things are not right.
At church a little baby was born, Sofia, 8lbs 11ozs. What is her value? How much is she worth?
Psalm 139
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Sofia's value,...PRICELESS!
