A call to Christians:

Someone has said: ‘The height of selfishness is to know someone is dying, and to have it within your power to save them, but to choose not to'.

Martin Luther said:

‘If you see someone condemned to death innocently, and you do not save him, although you know ways and means to do so, you have killed him.

It will do you no good to plead that you did not contribute to his death, for you have withheld your love from him and have robbed him of the service by which his life might have been saved.'

Martin Luther is also credited with saying:–

‘If I profess with the loudest voice and the clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the World and the Devil are at this moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be confessing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battle-field besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point'.

The greatest indictment of selfishness in the Church, and therefore our contempt for the cross, is that we have chosen not to stop this holocaust against children.

When most of the excuses for inactivity are boiled down they have self-preservation, and hence self-worship, at their base.

In some ways the Church's guilt is as bad as that of the abortionist. Why? Because the Church could have stopped this holocaust by now. We have the mandate, the manpower, and the money. We know who is doing the killing, we know where the killing is being done, we know when the killing is being done. But because we lack the backbone and because of ignorant or cowardly leaders, the Church has done almost nothing for the children.

We must understand that men and women have different ministries and callings.

But in a time of crisis all are called to sacrifice.

Our society is beaten, bleeding and dying in the ditch while millions of Christians do little or nothing to lift it out, dress its wounds, and work for its restoration.

In the Financial Year ended June 2002 in Queensland, the Government, under Medicare, paid out $2,481,838 of tax-payers' money for the killing of 14,581 children. (H.I.C.). The majority of these killings would have been in our area. (The south-east of the state).

Nationally, the figures were: $10,637,006 to kill 76,844 children.
