Opus 2025-044: The Day After

Did you go to church on Sunday?  If you did, did anybody ever mention that it was a special day other than being Sunday?  Sunday was Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.  Sometimes it’s called Pro Life Sunday.  Did anybody mention it in Sunday school?  Was it mentioned from the pulpit during any part of the service?

If your church was not aware that this is the Sunday that the champions of life selected to remind us of the tragedy of Roe versus Wade, then that might be one of the marks that tells you whether the church is worth attending or not.  Roe versus Wade was overturned, true.  In reality, the battle goes on.  Thousands of children are being slaughtered every day.  That really adds up over time.

Ignoring abortion is not the only issue that a week church fails on, but it is an indication.  It might be a good litmus test, or it might be that for some reason, your church does everything right except for that.  Only you can be the judge, but I would guess that if you go to a church that ignores the issue of abortion or soft-pedals it or sugarcoat it, you will find other areas that are also falling short of what God wants for them.  It’s amazing how often common threads of thinking and values run together.

We need revival in the nation.  We need to stand up and be counted.  If you are going to a church that is overlooking vital areas of morality, cultural, compromise, doctrinal, deviation, or outright denial of the divinity of Christ then you need to be one of those clanging cymbals that are calling people back to truth.  Keep in mind that it’s not just the public square that needs revival.  The church is where it must start.  And one of the things I’ve been hearing regularly in the past few weeks at my church is that it must start in each one of us.

Pray for revival. Pray that it would start and you and me.
