Abortion is one of those topics that can hardly be discussed anymore. Those who are against it are passionately so. And those who are in favor of it are almost religious about it. As believers, how should we view the subject? Is it always a sin? What about in cases of rape and incest? And if it's a sin, is it an unforgivable sin? If it's forgivable, why not terminate an inconvenient pregnancy and ask for forgiveness later? What about women who have had an abortion or men who have encouraged their wives or girlfriends to have one? How does God view them? How should we? These are important questions. How would you answer them?
Is the desire to know the secret things about the future, our lives, or those close to us wrong? Is it permissible for Christians to visit people who claim to know things we don’t? Or are there secret things that God has not revealed and that we are forbidden to seek apart from Him and His Word? And is it possible that Satan and his demons use people who claim to know those secret things to deceive us by sounding religious or harmless?
We were made to worship. And we all worship something. When we refuse to worship the One true God and acknowledge His authority, we simply create false religions that allow us to appease our consciences while we continue to live life our own way. But false religions never take us anywhere good. They simply take us farther and farther from God. Ahaz was one of Judah's wicked kings. Can you imagine a king so evil he would sacrifice his own children in the name of his false religion? Yet, instead of repenting when God brought judgment, he turned to other ungodly people for help. And sadly, the people of Judah as a whole became increasingly unfaithful until God in His perfect judgment allowed their destruction. Our nation, too, seems determined to go down the road of increasing unfaithfulness. We shouldn't think that if God judged His own covenant people, He won't judge us as a nation, as well. The question is, will we heed the voice of godly people or continue in our unfaithfulness and false religions.
