Don Wagner news Director of www.wfrn.con posted this story the other day…….
Most of us would be outraged if we knew the details of research from the Government Accountability Office that shows our hard-earned tax money provided over a billion dollars to abortion groups between 2002 and 2009. About two-thirds of that went to Planned Parenthood. Steven Mosier is with the Population Research Institute and is calling for a ban on all federal funding for abortion groups. Indiana Congressman Mike Pence has introduced a bill in the U.S. House to defund Planned Parenthood and all other abortion groups.
I talked to Pastor Steve Smothermon about the above news story last night on NM News and Views and how God looks at the Unites States allowing abortions.
I got this note from Pastor Leonard that fits in with us allowing abortion, yes it is US because we all live here……
Have you heard of Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German pronunciation: [ˈdiːtʁɪç ˈboːnhœfɐ];[1] February 4, 1906 – April 9, 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian. He was also a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism, a founding member of the Confessing Church. His involvement in plans by members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office) to assassinate Adolf Hitler resulted in his arrest in April 1943 and his subsequent execution by hanging in April 1945, shortly before the war’s end. His view of Christianity’s role in the secular world has become very influential
Here is what Pastor Leonard shared………..
Fellow servants,
Almost finished with “Bonhoeffer” by Eric Metaxas…wow, one tremendous book. Boy, did he ever write some good stuff, “Cost of Discipleship”, “Ethics”, etc. here’s a little sample from the book of the year, “Bonhoeffer”.
“the great masquerade of evil has played havoc with our ethical concepts. For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity, or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts, while for the Christian who bases his life on the Bible it merely confirms the fundamental wickedness of evil. Who will stand fast? Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom or his virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to be obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God; the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This is how Bonhoeffer saw what he was doing. He had theologically redefined the Christian life as something active, not reactive. It had nothing to do with avoiding sin or with merely talking or teaching or believing theological notions or principles or tenets or rules. It had everything to do with living one’s life in obedience to God’s call through action. It did not merely require a mind, but a body too. – Eric Metaxas
Or as I put forth the question: were those of Bonhoeffer’s era guilty of Biblical academia verses Biblical obedience. Did they know what the Bible said but were too immersed in their traditions and “church dogma” on Sunday and thus fail to manifest the truth through their lives the rest of the week? So, I put forth the question for us TODAY. Are we so immersed in knowing what the Bible says through devotions, meditations, study, sermons and seminars yet LACK obedience to the very Word of God we have studied? For Germany it wrought the heinous evil monster named Hitler. What will such neglect of Biblical obedience reap for each of us? I fear we have been duped into believing that belief is enough and thus the end result is apathy to our living out our lifestyles and behaving as Jesus Christ to the world. For studies have shown that Christians behave no differently than the secular world.
“But prove yourselves doers of the word and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” James 1:22 “for faith without works is dead” James 2:17
