Culture of Death

Yesterday, infamous late-term abortionist George Tiller of Kansas was murdered while he was attending church. All people everywhere should condemn this horrific act. I do. No one who believes in the sanctity of life can support murder in any form. They caught the killer and I, for one, hope that justice is swift and decisive. The message has to be that you cannot correct a sin by committing a sin.

George Tiller was a killer. He killed viable babies in the last trimester of pregnancies for $5000. His life was marked with death and death, a violent death, is how his life ended. The tragedy is Mr. Tiller (I refuse to address him as doctor) will not have any other opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's pray that his family will not meet the same fate.

When you sin, you live your life on the edge. God does not bless the sinful life, so anything can happen at any time. Mr. Tiller made the decision to ignore God's teaching and continue killing babies. Though not warranted, his demise is not all that surprising.

Exodus 20:13 states simply, "Thou shalt not murder."

Murder for any cause, however noble, is wrong and should be condemned, especially by the Christian community.

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.
