What is a more sobering concern is our casting away of life, which is given by God alone, and the casualness we tend to take toward it. Instead we ought to recognize it as a true gift from God for special purposes sometimes He alone knows. Undoubtedly current policies in place now for decades in America, and the same kind of modernistic spirit world wide that it's all right to take life in the womb and just discard it -- abortion, of course -- have created this unwholesome attitude that is overtaking human sentiment worldwide. We have this concept of 'dying grace' but there will be fewer who truly experience it because we wish to avoid the pain of what the Bible calls the 'sting' of death. It is true that America has become a symbol of freedom, and individuals should be free to make choices like this, we can understand. But underlying it all is the dreadful feeling, 'what if we might be going at this wrong in a regretful way, just like the frog sitting in a pan of heating water about to be destroyed. Matthew 10.28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather ﻿fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ﻿hell. John 14.16 And I will pray the Father, and ﻿He will give you another ﻿Helper, that He may abide with you forever— Now that is scary, indeed! Because no one can describe in an appreciable way FOREVER!
