Awash in the blood of innocents.

In the book of Psalms, we read "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD" (Psalm 127:3a). Human beings are created in the image of God. When we destroy innocent human life, we are spitting at the living God and inviting our own judgement. When a country, such as America, allows this murder, we are guilty, as a group, of violating the sixth commandment "Thou shalt not kill." (Exodus 20:13) The country of Mexico has now voted to legalize abortion. As I write this, unborn babies are being destroyed. Mexico is a sovereign country, therefore our view of what their society is permitting is moot. It is, however, evident that they were highly influenced by their northern neighbors in America who have embraced a culture of death. We murder 1.8 million innocent unborn babies each year in America. Only the Lord above knows how many future doctors, scientists, teachers and preachers are destroyed each year. As America, Mexico and Canada march in lock-step towards integration (www.jbs.org/nau) Mexico has now joined their neighbors in allowing murder of the innocents. Certainly, as with Abel, the blood is crying out to God. How much longer will he withhold his judgement?
