    Question about something jesus said

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    A very small child with loving parents trusts everything his/her parents say and depends fully upon them. They believe their parent is invincible and can do anything. They see in their parent somebody awesome beyond compare who they feel safe with... someone who loves and cares for them.

    So must those who are believers see God in this way and approach Him accordingly...thereby being like little children.

    Related to this, there was a study done by the University of Helsinki that suggested babies could learn while in the womb. That's a powerful bit of info you don't see much of.

    @AnOrangeCat :)Thanks. That is fascinating! I would love to know more about this. Do you happen to have a link?

    When my daughter was pregnant, she used to play classical music to relax my grandson inside of her. I thought that was wise as they say babies can indeed hear from the outside world. They even make Christian lullaby recordings for the little ones in the womb. Soothing for the mama, too :)

    Because Life Matters

    Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

    This is a poem I wrote...because life matters.

     

    Questions...Because Life Matters


    Why do trials in life befall us?
    Is it so that we can grow?
    We keep searching for the answers
    Some things we may never know

     

    Seems unfair while kind folks suffer
    Those so evil have it made
    Wondering why the wicked prosper
    Living large in their charade

     

    Often we cry out for justice
    Sadly, it's so seldom found
    Unborn children being slaughtered
    Innocents who make no sound

     

    Inconvenience is the reason
    Some will take the easy route
    Elderly considered burdens
    Euthanasia can take out

     

    Calling it an act of mercy
    Justifying apathy
    Human life has lost its value 
    When you end it easily

     

    Marriages that once were binding
    Vows till death we two shall part
    Are so rare when Christ who joins them
    Is no longer at the heart

     

    A disposable society
    Where the weakest ones we trod
    Love of many waxing cold now
    Towards their fellow man and God


    "Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?" (Jeremiah 12:1)

    “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” 
    (Matthew 24:12)

    9 Ways to Celebrate Sanctity of Life Sunday

    by Ken Ham on January 10, 2020
    Sunday, January 19, 2020, is Sanctity of Life Sunday in the US. Many churches choose to set aside time to celebrate and teach on the sanctity of all human life, particularly that of the unborn. It’s a great time to share the message that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, knit together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13–14). Here are some ideas on what to do this year to celebrate National Sanctity of Life Sunday at your church or in your home.
     

     

    SANCTITY OF LIFE SUNDAY ONLY COMES ONCE A YEAR. STILL, WE SHOULD BE EVER MINDFUL OF THE DIGNITY AND VALUE GOD HAS BESTOWED ON EVERY HUMAN LIFE BY CREATING US IN HIS IMAGE (GENESIS 1:27).
    1. Hold a showing of our recently updated DVD from anatomist Dr. David Menton, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. It’s an incredible peek into the mind-blowing process of human development, particularly in the very early stages. It powerfully displays the biblical truth that we’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
    2. Watch the movie Unplanned with your family (not appropriate for younger children) or purchase a license to watch the film with your church. This movie tells the story of a rising star in Planned Parenthood who is now a pro-life activist. It’s a very moving story, and young people in particular need to see it.
    3. Hold a fundraiser or special offering for a local pregnancy care center or consider hosting a diaper drive for a local pregnancy care center. Call first to confirm how much volume they can process and what sizes are most appreciated.
    4. Host a community baby shower where anyone from the community can come and take home free items. These items can be purchased by the church or congregation (e.g., diapers, wipes, etc.) or donated by the congregation (i.e., gently used baby or maternity clothes, strollers, cribs, toys, etc.). Or, if you know of single moms or dads, find out what they need and then meet that need.
    5. Contact your local pregnancy care center and see if there's anything you, your family, or the congregation could help with (e.g., a work bee day, provide needed items, etc.).
    6. Don't just assume your church family understands the value of all human life and what it means that humans are made in the image of God. Many Christians don't because they’ve been indoctrinated to think like many people in the mainstream culture. If you’re a pastor or parent, take time to share what God's Word says about the value of children, including the unborn, and his plan for them. Share resources for those who may have had an abortion (e.g., most pregnancy centers offer post-abortive counseling).
    7. Plan to visit the Creation Museum’s upcoming sanctity of life exhibit, set to open this summer. Bring along your youth group and support Answers in Genesis in confronting the culture with boldness on these prominent issues.
    8. And the sanctity of human life isn’t just about the unborn! Discuss how your church can be more friendly and welcoming towards those of all abilities. If you have parents of children with disabilities in your congregation, ask them how your church could improve and make Sunday morning easier for them.
    9. Don’t forget the elderly and terminally ill.Perhaps plan a visit to a nursing home, the home of someone unable to make it to church, or raise funds for a local Christian hospice, or honor the elderly or infirmed in your church.

     

    Sanctity of Life Sunday only comes once a year. Still, we should be ever mindful of the dignity and value God has bestowed on every human life by creating us in his image (Genesis 1:27). That’s a message we need to take to heart every day of the year.

    Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
    Ken

    Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

     

    ORIGINS: On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (January 22, 1973, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God's gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage.

    UPCOMING DATE: Churches continue to recognize the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. In 2020, the date will be January 19.

    Could you please pray for my kids? Both of them are undergoing some difficult hardships at this time. They need God's strength and, if it is His will to lift some of these. They need spiritual help, physical healing, their job situations and financial provision.

    Children need to be taught that words DO hurt, and some things said, even as and to a child, can last a life time.
