Abortion and injustice in South Africa (and The Late Debate on abortion)
Biblical Christian Network
Abortion and injustice in South Africa
... and the church has thus far failed the unborn!
Abortion is a growing industry in South Africa.
Since the inception of the new abortion laws in 1997, South Africa has legally murdered almost 1,000,000 babies. A law, by the way, that was not given to the people to decide upon, as the ANC ignored what the people had to say!
South
African Christians must be the most laid-back Christians in the world.
Even in America, where affluence is the in thing, Christians stand up
against the government more than they do in South Africa.
Sunday, 30 January 2011, was Sanctity of Life Sunday or Life Chain Sunday,
and I am sad to say that I have not heard a sermon from the pulpit in
more than 10 years. Our churches seem to be more interested in feeling
good than doing good. Some ministries held Life Chains on 29 January, and others on 1 February.
It
is time that churches start speaking against the injustices of the
land. How can the church remain silent while babies are being murdered.
This is only type of injustice being committed in this land under the
sanction of the government. The church is silent because it has no
backbone! It is more interested in having the right kind of music, or
the right kind of preaching that is not offensive or the proper presence
in government than standing up against injustices! The church is weak
while it claims to have such a big impact on the nation; however, if
that were the case, why do we see more and more perversion in the
nation, on our television channels, magazines and newspapers? If that
were the case, why are the number of babies aborted growing every year?
The church is weak because it no longer stands up for the truth and for
justice! It is soft-peddling the gospel instead of raising the banner of
truth. It can no longer rise up against injustice, because it no longer
has a sound Biblical theological base upon which to stand!
The One Gospel DSTV program, The Late Debate, will air a discussion on abortion called The cry of the unborn.
