This is my brother's blog on abolishing abortion. Below is his description of the blog's purpose. I hope you will take the time to check it out.
That
is the heart of Voices
of Dissidence. I’m
not talking about foolish rebellion or discord. I’m talking about
challenging the trends and popular opinions of our society. Popular
opinion is not the standard for what is right. Reality is not subject
to the whim of the masses. Throughout history the majority has
established what is right and wrong and consequently the laws of the
land have been warped to fit their desires. It was legal to ship the
Jews off to death camps. It was legal to own slaves in America. Where
were the people standing for truth? Where had the soldiers of
righteousness gone? Was there not a cause? They had become
professionals in conformity. Can not the same be said of us? What
evils go unchallenged today? What laws have been fitted to the
apathetic will of our convenience?
More
than ever there is a need for that silence to be broken. No longer
should the chains of uniformity and fear hold us captive. As
Christians we already know what is right but is time to act on our
convictions. The churches of this nation are already full of people
sitting on comfortable pews enjoying the show. What the world needs
is soldiers ready to fight. Christianity is not a spectator sport.
The world needs the message of Christ’s salvation. The blatant
evils of our land must be decried before the world can see their
need. But who will go? Who will stand? Who will be that voice of
dissidence?
The
answer is up to you Christian!
