We tell ourselves that if we can upset the least amount of people, be generally well-liked and well-respected by the world, then people will be more likely to listen to us and be won to Christ; but in reality, the heart of neutrality is self-preservation—a desire to protect our general level of comfort, undisturbed by angry secularists. As a result, there has been a mass exodus of explicit Christianity from the public square and from public institutions.
This is the tension that the leftist finds himself in; he refuses to worship God, the Creator, and so he must worship that which is created, nature. In this way of thinking, undisturbed nature is perfect, and man’s intervention does nothing but destroys that which is inherently good.
Ultimately, CRT appeals to sinful human nature, as it justifies and encourages revenge, retribution, intimidation, and violence. It makes provision for hatred, division, destruction, and all sorts of partiality. But it also seduces professing Christians and those who are morally minded by playing on our sense of guilt.
Let us rejoice in Christ’s resurrection by gathering together and boldly and publicly proclaiming to all the only gospel of the risen Savior, and that He and He alone is Lord.
It is undeniable and bears repeating, that this crusade against the unborn is core to leftist doctrine. Their mission is to enshrine for all women the untouchable and unquestioned right to murder her baby, at her convenience, without the possibility of anything standing in her way. This is the goal.
Christians cannot hope to bring about conviction over sin and repentance for it by the gospel message if the reality of God’s sovereign rule over all is so quickly abandoned. And one by one, Christians are surrendering foundational truths to LGBTQ demands, from God’s definition of marriage and the biblical family model, to even God’s own role as Creator when it comes to gender.
The Pro-Life Ministry at Redeemer Church of South Hills is an important component of our church. Each month, the ministry will provide an update on all of the work that is being done with the goal of ending the murder of innocent babies.
If our treasure is on this earth, if we love our stuff, our comfort, our reputation, our safety, then it is likely that we will compromise our obedience on the day of trouble. But if Jesus Christ alone is our treasure—if we love His name, His glory, His church, His truth—then we will stand courageous. We will confront danger, we will suffer, and yet by the Spirit and His strength, we will obey.
