SANCTITY

Holiness is the first word in the dictionary that begins the definition of sanctity. Yesterday was Sanctity of Life Sunday. Along with Ascension Sunday, 40 days after Easter when Jesus ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. To intercede for us. To return to His rightful place of authority.

This whole week is Sanctity of Life Week. Oh, you won't hear much about either. Not in our secular world today. And that's just it. As followers of Jesus, we are aliens in this world. Paul tells us in Philippians that we have our citizenship in Heaven. We're simply passing through in this world.

Look at the picture I posted again. Now tell me life doesn't begin until birth. When God spoke us into our mothers' wombs, tell me life didn't begin then. Ask a woman who felt her baby move and kick before he/she was born that life hadn't begun before birth. Ask any mother who has lost a baby by miscarriage or stillbirth that life hadn't begun yet.

And then ask our country how we can support pro-choice candidates for political offices. How as a nation we can allow infanticide in or out of the womb. A woman's right to her own body. That may be one thing. But no woman has a right to the body that she's carrying.

I won't just rant about abortion; I'll pray. Please join me this week especially.
