What Happened to the Church Here, Now?

Jeremiah 23:16-29 describes our predicament today precisely.
Verse 17 says “They (the current prophets) say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; & to everyone who follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you.’” Verse 22, “But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, & they would have turned them from their evil way, & from the evil of their deeds.” Verse 28, “…let him who has my word speak my word faithfully.”
My heart aches. My eyes swell up with tears. My anger is kindled against the author of lies. I plead with my former church friends, listen to the Word! Hear the Word! Submit to the Word! Instead, they listen to lies & continue the killing.
God says, “Thou shalt not kill.” The world tells us that abortion is a precious right of women. What is abortion? Abortion is killing. Every civilized person, every moral person should oppose abortion with all their might. Every Christian, above everyone else, should wholeheartedly oppose this hellish act & worldly message.
Every Christian prophet, priest, pastor, teacher, deacon, elder, bishop and pew occupier should fiercely oppose abortion!
After all, it’s a matter of justice. Who are the victims? The precious little ones. Who cannot speak up for themselves? The precious little ones. Who is any government supposed to protect? The precious little ones. Let us proclaim liberty to the captives! Let us stand in the council of the Lord! Let us stand in unity against the evil, the death, the destruction, of the world!
God calls us to tell the truth. Love demands that we tell the truth. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross demands we tell His truth. Proverbs 31:8, is His Word for us. Defend the defenseless. Christ died for us. We are to lay down our lives for our little brothers and sisters. It takes a village to protect, nourish and train the precious little ones! “Father, help us repent & obey Your Word!”
