Hello beloved,
“15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 16 wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right. Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” – Isaiah 1:15-17
I would like to explain the title of this article. But, first, let me give you a little history of how I came up with it. I’ve been saved since February 23, 2005. I figured out that God had called me to evangelize, probably a year and a half later. So, I kind of cut out on standing against abortion. Oh, I stood against it with my mouth, but never would I actually intervene, physically. I thought “That is just not my calling. Maybe God has called some to do that(those radicals), but not me. He’s called me to witness.” How wrong I was. While witnessing is important(and I haven’t stopped witnessing, or lost the passion to witness), you can’t do that in place of fighting certain battles, without being outside the will of God. This might be a tough pill to swallow, but it is the truth.
First of all, the Bible is black and white. He has called all of us to “go into all the world” (Mark 16:15) and He has called all of us to “defend the cause of the fatherless…to win it!” (Isaiah 1:17, 1:23, Jeremiah 5:28) I would not have agreed with you had you told me this a couple of years ago. Oh, deep down inside, I knew that it was my responsibility to fight this battle, but I really felt I could justify my lack of concern with the fact that I was witnessing to so many people. Another way to justify this, is to find others that will agree with you(and that is definitely not hard to do). I think I could safely say that around 99 percent of Christians would agree with me if I were to say that only a small percentage are actually called to go outside the walls of the church to fight this battle. I still remember the false comfort I felt when other Christians would tell me that not everyone is called to fight that fight. Most Christians will say that prayer is sufficient. If this is getting personal, I cannot apologize. These babies need your help, beloved. And if you are capable(which I understand that not everyone can physically come out) then it is your responsibility to join the battle lines. We must defend the cause of the fatherless to win it!
So, beloved, I know that many of you are called into certain areas of ministry. But, I must tell you that you cannot neglect the battle against abortion, taking place in the streets of America. You know, deep down, that it is the right thing. You know that it is the will of God. So, what’s stopping you? I’m not saying that you should drop your calling and do this. I am saying that you should do both. You might have to cut some things out(TV, etc.), but you must make the time beloved. You absolutely must!
Could you imagine what would happen if even three percent of the churches in Charlotte would join the fight? What if even two percent? I tell you what, beloved. Abortion will end, in America, only when the Church of Jesus Christ decides that they want to end it. Only after the church repents. Do you agree that what I am saying is true? I think you do. And, if what I am telling you is true, we have a lot to change about the way we look at things.
Or…we could just brush it off. Yeah…we could brush it off…or we could rise up and become the army that God Almighty has called us to be! We could stand for the unborn and fight the battle at the very gates of hell(at the abortion mill closest to you)!
Or…then again…we could just continue brush it off…
Please help, beloved.
In Christian love,
Adam Tennant
