This is a natural consequence of the murder of nearly 50 million American babies over the past 36 years. I firmly believe Christians need to reproduce. <B>Children are not something to be avoided, but are a precious gift from God. </B>Bad as some will hate to admit it, the pope on this issue is right! We must teach our children that. Also If we are like the sons of Issachar and understand our times, and understand our God, we can have hope, and joy over this news.<br /> <br />I choose to trust in the name of the Lord my God, and in what He says. Lots of prophets of profit like to talk about Ezekiel 38, and end things, but read the last verse.....Ezekiel recorded the Lord's words....... <br /><br /><B><I>I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Ez 38:23</I></B>This information seems almost alarmist. I believe some scholarly people will argue that this information is false. They will in time produce convincing statistics that will show Christianity is in fact winning the world, just as God says it will, especially in Africa and in SE Asia. <br /><br />There has always been and will always be those to say the church has failed. Satan always wants to tell us it's all doom and gloom and to shatter our hope. He does not want us to trust in the promises of God. <br /><br />This news, makes me all the more excited to know what a great mighty miraculous thing it will be when just prior to the end, (which is just about now,) the world will stand and sing and wonder and praise the name of Jesus, the Most High and Holy God.<br /><br />Besides....30 years ago when we were kids, if someone wanted to encounter a person of a different religion or culture, we had to travel to the other side of the world. Today: we go to Wal-Mart. <br /><br />What better way to reach the world, than to be "in country" and living in it?<br /><br />With enduring love for Christ<br />AndrewDozerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347578972602716895noreply@blogger.com
