Value life
This is the week for the March for Life and events asscoiated with it. The life issue that is the focus of these events is abortion, which is a grevious assault on innocent life. While our attention is focussed on life we also keep in mind all the ways life is assaulted in our present age and also why we are called to defend life. We need to remember life is a gift from God to all. If it is seen as given or given value by society, government, class, race, economic input, or even myself it can be taken away. Political action is part of our responsibility as citizens, but policy changes alone are not enough. What in our hearts has led our culture here? What in our hearts made the twentieth century the bloodiest in human history? Are we willing to have our hearts changed? In just a couple of weeks we will hear “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel.” May we heed this call for our sake and the world’s sake.
