We don’t usually speak of how sin affects our moral character. Why? Our mass media is awash with people who have trouble admitting sin is real, and our pulpits are filled with too many fearful men. Yet when we accommodate sin, or worse, facilitate it, we too become corrupted.
A society that tolerates pornography is filled with broken homes. People who look away when others steal must put up with unjust rule. Those who do not revere the truth become the slaves of lies. Without the truth, grace and mercy just become demands for excusing sinful behavior.
If we wish to lead others to Christ, we must seek the courage to confront sin. To begin, we must pray for the wisdom to overcome our own sins.
The case against abortion rightly focuses on the harm to the unborn. But what does the abortion culture do to us?

For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a woman’s right to choose. It is a matter of the life or death of a human being made in God’s image.
Be blessed for speaking the truth.

Desensitizing, like brainwashing, occurs over time and repetition of an idea. The devil is well known for this process. He corrupts hearts over time until there is no moral value placed on life and death – no responsibility for actions – no feeling or emotion other than self gratification.

To those who claim abortions are,not legalized killing, what if the despondent mother asks if both she is allowed to be aborted at the same time they abort her baby?
In other words, let’s just change the word kill to abort and that way there will never be anymore killings in the USA.
