In my quest to change the world, I believe that I truly have been burdened with a role in the abolishing of abortion in America. This is just one of many ways in which I intend to change the world. To do so would require a few things. Pastors need to preach Biblical ethics in churches. Parents should teach Biblical ethics in there homes. And if possible, our government leaders should instigate codes by which these ethics can be carried out. So, if a Biblical ethic against abortion is preached in our churches, taught in our homes, and enforced in Washington, then we would live in a totally different society.
I spoke with Justice For All founder David Lee today about getting involved with what they are doing. JFA is a pro-life organization that travels to college campuses to exhibit the real effects of abortion and train individuals in how to teach others about abortion.
JFA's role in this task is currently to change society, as Lee puts it, "one person at a time". The message preached by JFA ought to be preached in the churches that congregate all of us who call ourselves Christians. Strikingly, this ethic is almost unheard in evangelical churches in America. If this ethic were truly taught in our churches, American society would be different. The problem is, we have no one to preach. So, as I and many others my age search for purpose and calling in life, a question we must ask ourselves is, How might we go about changing our culture? Will it be by preaching in a church or even on a street corner? Will it be by raising our children in the way of The Truth? Will it be by passing a law as a U.S. Congressman in Washington?
It is a cooperative effort that must take place if we are to really transform our world. The change could come tomorrow.
