- STOP THE ABORTION OF CHRISTMAS
-
- "He ordered the massacre of all the boys two years old and under in
- Bethlehem." --Matthew 2:16
-
- Christmas is the celebration of life. We celebrate the birthday of Jesus,
- God-made-man. However, the Christmases of the past twenty years have been
- the deadliest in history because of the abortion of millions of babies.
-
- To stop this child-killing and put life back into Christmas, we must:
-
- 1. obey every command of God, even if He tells us to get up in the
- middle of the night and go to Egypt (Mt 2:13-14).
- 2. love the modern Herods into God's kingdom by forgiving them, praying
- and suffering for them, and sharing the love of Jesus with them
- 3. repent of apathy and lack of faith. "If we acknowledge our sins, He
- Who is just can be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us
- from every wrong (I Jn 1:9).
- 4. realize that our battle is not against human beings but against the
- devil (Eph 6:12). By prayer and fasting we can drive out the
- demon of abortion (see Mt 17:21).
- 5. fix our eyes on Jesus (Heb 12:2). He can raise aborted babies from
- the dead, forgive those who killed them, and save us all from
- death and damnation. Jesus is the Lord of life.
-
-
- Prayer: Baby Jesus, may Christmas, and children, not be aborted but restored.
-
- Promise: Jesus "is an Offering for our sins, and not for our sins only, but
- for those of the whole world." --Jn 2:2
-
- Praise: The Holy Innocents will be used by the Lord to stop abortion.
