Choose Life
Greetings, to all who know of the sacredness of life,
Soon the Fall 2009 40 Days for Life campaign will begin. While the word campaign fails to convey the true meaning of 40 Days of life, Christians know the significance of the number 40 from scripture. Jesus spent forty days fasting in the desert before the beginning of his ministry, and before his ascension he stayed 40 days with the apostles.
Our Lord has told us that some demons can only be cast out through pray and fasting. The soul of our nation is possessed by a demon called abortion and this demon must be cast out. This is the purpose of 40 Days for Life, to cast out the demon, not by our own power or abilities, but by God himself. By offering up our prayers and sacrifice of fasting we offer ourselves to the Lord. We admit our weaknesses and our faults and we rely upon his grace and limitless mercy. We confess our sins as a nation and as individuals asking our Lord forgive us and to turn us away from the things of this world which separate us from his gift of life..
While efforts must continue to correct those laws which violate truth, the reality is that abortion can only end one person at a time. The witness of prayer partners at Planned Parenthood reminds the mothers and fathers that God loves them. Your presence is an expression of the love of God, and each time a mother changes her mind and chooses life abortion ends in America.
Let us pray for an end to abortion in the hearts, minds and souls of abortion minded men and women. Let us pray for those who have given in to the choice of the world. Choose life.
Pray always,
Eric Slaughter,
