Thank you for speaking up and educating us with your well-written and well-structured article, Pastor Hinton. The same concerns may also be surfaced for American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Susan Komen Foundation, and the lion's share of national secular charities. Nonetheless, despite the efforts of those who voice the unpopular truth of what these organizations are doing with our well-meant dollars, our own congregations continue to support such anti-life organizations via Relay for Life, Jump Rope for Heart (an annual event in many of our own grade schools), Hoops for Heart, Volley for a Cure, etc. Amazingly, many church leaders simply can't bring themselves to admit that they have been misled, so they repeat the crafty propaganda fed to them by the charities' representatives to convince themselves that all is well, then keep asking us and our kids to participate in funding the destruction of babies. As for those who lament how difficult it is to keep track of the many deceptions afoot, I would agree and point out that discipleship requires discipline, tenacity, and prayerful discernment. Let's not shirk our calling but rather stand firm to protect God's crowning achievement... HUMAN LIFE! P.S. - - Anyone who believes that "designating" your donation is a valid approach to avoid funding embryonic stem cell research is naïve to the practices of charitable accounting. General discretionary budgets are easily amended to offset any such "designations". The impact of your "designation" in reducing the murder of babies? = NONE.
