I am a witness. I was there.
I was a college student in 1970 – 1974, when the professors, politicians, and protestors told me that our planet was running out of water and other natural resources, that the planet couldn’t sustain so many humans, and that within thirty years we would face a global hard freeze that would end life on earth.
I remember.
I was a college student in 1973, when Roe vs. Wade was passed, making abortion legal. The reasoning fit with the dire prediction of our imminent end. Since there were already too many inhabitants of earth, since humans were depleting all of earth’s resources, then reducing the population by getting rid of unwanted children via abortion made sense, and practicing artificial birth control to prevent pregnancy made even more sense, according to the professors, politicians and protestors.
Today, thirty-nine years later, I am a witness to the same dire prediction of our imminent end, but now we are told that we will burn instead of freeze. We haven’t run out of natural resources, but we have a huge hole in the population because we think we are doing somebody a favor by preventing or aborting the next generation. Pity the tens of millions of women who live with the consequence of their choice.
The professors, politicians and protestors have spoken with false authority. Their message has proven to be untrue, unreliable, unwise, and catastrophic for our planet and her family.
It’s my turn to predict.
I speak with authority. My message is true, reliable and wise. You do not know what will happen today, much less what will happen thirty years from now. You are alive today, and one day your earthly life will end. At that moment you will face the One who begins and ends life, and you will give account for every Today that you have lived. Don’t allow professors, politicians and protestors to derail you from the truth that you know in your core.
Do the right thing today,
Be wise in everything you think, do and say,
Every visible and invisible thing will pass away,
Only Truth will remain.
