Dr. Ron Paul

Partial transcript: I can remember the very early years studying obstetrics–and it was before the age of abortion–and I was told taking care of a woman that’s pregnant, you have two patients… and I think that solves a lot of the problem by when life begins and all; In the 1960′s when the culture was changing… abortion became prevalent even though it was illegal; So the morality of the country changed, but then the law followed up; When the morality changes, it will reflect on the laws; Law will not correct the basic problem, and that’s the morality of the people; You need the government out of that business [medicine] or you will always argue over who’s paying what bills; I follow what my understanding is of the Constitution, and it does allow for the states to deal with difficult problems… as a matter of fact, it allows the states to deal with almost all the problems, if you look at it; These powers aren’t given to the Congress… I see abortion as a violent act… all other violence is handled by the states–murder, burglary, violence… that’s a state issue; Don’t try to say that I’m less pro-life because I want to be particular about the way we do it and allow the states the prerogative; This is the solution… if we would allow the states to write their laws, take away the jurisdiction by a majority vote in the Congress, you repeal Roe v. Wade overnight, instead of waiting year after year to change the court system

Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the real problem with America… spiritual bankruptcy, as well as the real solution for America… the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Date: 1/23/11
Speaker: Rodney Shaw
Notes: The problem with America is our morality; The issue of life is a great example: those who oppose abortion sometimes are the loudest advocates for war… and those who are the loudest advocates against war are advocates for abortion, so it’s just pick whose life you want to take… “let’s go take adult lives, or let’s take kid lives”; Life is precious in whatever form you find it, and a Christian should avoid all possibilities that they would be put in the circumstance to have to take another life; The real problem with America is not that we took prayer out of schools–If we had godly judges, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying teachers and administrators, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying parents, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had a praying electorate, we would not keep voting in people who don’t pray; Our legislators call in chaplains to open their sessions with prayer, and then they don’t let them pray in the name of Jesus; The real problem with America is spiritual bankruptcy; America’s problem is not a political problem; The early church turned their world upside down and they had no political power; The early church had a transforming influence on the world so that in a matter of a few centuries the whole known world was Christianized, but they couldn’t vote against the morality of Rome; They preached the gospel, and they preached miracles and signs following; They didn’t have a social gospel or a club gospel, or something that was politically correct or socially palpable… they preached a message of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ crucified; They preached a message that when people heard it and they believed it their lives were transformed, and things happened in people’s hearts–not because of legislation–but because of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ

Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the unique role of the church in the moral debate in society…

[Part 2 of a 7-Part series]

Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX
Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World
Date: 1/23/11
Speaker: Rodney Shaw
Notes: James 4:17 – “To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin“; You can’t take a pacifist view with regard to morality–if you have the capacity to intervene and you don’t intervene, then you’re morally culpable; We can’t claim moral innocence, isolation, and neutrality, when we actually possess some capacities to intervene; March for Life… taking a stand for righteousness and against murder; The church transcends politics–it plays a unique role in the moral debate in society; Although we should participate in the political process, the church must always affirm that our hope is ultimately not political… our choices in politics are simply a result of the faith that we have in God

This is my first post since the loss of my daughter Mabel, and I am very much going through the motions…

But the following story touched me because of its powerful testament to the fact that life does indeed begin at conception.

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”
- Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV)

Praise God for this miracle of waking Abby Johnson, former leader of Planned Parenthood!
