Repost this to save a life


Posting this picture could save a life

Reposting this picture will prove how Christian you are.

Clicking here will affirm your patriotism.

Will it? Will it really?

This is my response to a “debate” that started after I posted a picture of a 12 week old baby nestled in a person's hand, showing how life does start that early. Life. It's one of the things I feel passionately about and took 2 seconds to share it.

I am for life. I am also for the life of women and girls who have had horrible things done to them, apart from bad decisions they made or alcohol helped them make. I am for the life of people who made the mistake to end a baby's life. I believe that forgiveness can come, even then. Murder is not the unforgivable sin.

The people I'm having a lot more time forgiving are the Christians who aren't helping the people that need help. The Christians who are spending more time reposting inspirational quotes than welcoming a hurt 15 year old kid into their home because they don't want “someone like that.”

I'm also quite disgusted with this need to be right and the unfair treatment of Christians toward one another because of fingers shoved firmly into ears.

Who is right and wrong doesn't make any stinking difference when it comes to a person believing their life is over, when everything can be lost, and the people that should be helping and loving are spending too much time reveling in how much better they feel because that specific sin didn't bite them in the butt when they were 15.

The boy and girl have equal responsibility. The Church has got the ultimate responsibility to live out Christs command to love one another as yourself.

Get off of your computers and your little Christian bubble and do something.

If you call yourself pro life, then find a way to get involved and practically help.

It may not help to post pictures. It may further alienate someone that doesn't know what to do, and carry more fear of persecution and hate.

What do you think?

  1. Should I even comment is the first thing I think. But I think this is well said and the words are heart felt. Several good points Katie. Murder is not the unforgivable sin, and as a matter of fact no more a sin then is a lie. And as easily forgiven...by God. The Church and their comfortable Christian bubble..oh I like that one....the women, no matter what side of abortion they are on, and no matter the final decisions they made have to live with it all. And no matter that decision it is much to live with that does not go away. So they need to see a Church that has true concern to not just toss them a bone and say we will pray..but Jesus with skin on..willing to walk it out in the trenches with them..and the way I read it this is the Church..love is a verb...an action...and more then just the friction of lips talking it..but the Church being real and walking it..Folks will NEVER care what we know till they know we care...Nice word Katie..
