Compelled By Reality

What if…

Filed under: Life, Politics, Prayer, abortion

What if today….

- 3,589 innocent adults in the U.S. were hung from the gallows on the steps of court houses?

What if this week….

- 25,123 innocent adults in the U.S. were systematically and legally murdered?

What if this month….

- 111,259 innocent adults in the U.S. were victims of genocide, and the government had given permission for this to take place?

What if this year….

- 1,310,000 innocent adults were executed without a trial, without their voice being heard?

What if this were actually true? And these were not adults but babies. And as a nation and a church we were unable or unwilling to stand against it? What would you do? Who would you appeal to? What would you expect from a Judge who had the power to do something about it?

This reminds me of the man who murdered both his parents. Then when his sentence was about to be pronounced, he pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Peace without Justice is NO Peace At All.

California Legislature Approves “Gay Day”

Filed under: Blogging, Politics, Youth

So I’m sure you’ve all heard by now. The California legislature has approved what amounts to “Gay Day” in all California public schools. This proposed day will be in support of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk. If this bill is signed into law it will mean that all public schools, on May 22nd of every year, will have an official day commemorating homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality. It will harm children as young as those in kindergarden by portraying in a positive light, homosexual experimentation, homosexual marriages, sex-change operations, and anything else that is “in the closet.”

The text of the bill says this:

“On Harvey Milk Day, exercises remembering the life of Harvey Milk and recognizing his accomplishments as well as the contributions he made to this state” should be conducted; specifically, “all public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe…and…conduct suitable commemorative exercises.”

Now I’m torn here, because on the one hand California politics is finally trying to promote a positive message; and who doesn’t want 5 and 6 year olds being given a positive spin on marriage, sexual experimentation and sex-changes from our government funded public schools?

But on the other hand, who are we to disagree and get up-in-arms on an issue like this when TIME Magazine listed Harvey Milk as one of the “Heroes and Icons” in the “Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.” I mean come on! If Big Media counts him a hero/icon why shouldn’t our 5 and 6 year olds?

But seriously, how much more forest is left to burn in California before they see the writing on the wall?

So if you live in California, have some vested interest there, actually care about what happens in that state at all, or if you are able to breathe (at minimum through a plastic tube), then I would urge you do something about it in whatever capacity you are able within these ranges (PRAY  —-  Call/Email/Write Gov. Schwarzenneger).
