Is Your Congregation Prepared to Vote?
Our state flaunts evil.
Gone are the days of being silent. We are reaping the consequences of silence. Radical proponents of evil have fewer numbers, but they are louder. And they are in power.
If abortion clinics close and castration of children stops, it will be because church leaders speak up!
It's up to you. You are the leader in your community! For good, or by your silence, for evil.
We are to be salt and light in all our lives - government, media, education, ...
Where can the church step in to save children?
Everywhere.
Jesus had a lot to say about evil and how to respond to it. No, he didn't overturn the Roman empire. That wasn't His mission. He was establishing a Kingdom beyond the Roman government and beyond the Jewish people.
God created government. The Romans and religious leaders were in charge in Jesus' day; did you know you are in charge in ours? Our government is run by those who vote.
What will you say?
Do you love your neighbor like you love yourself? Do you love your preborn neighbor as much as you love your own life? They don't get another life! The Bible doesn't teach reincarnation.
How many preachers, teachers, statesmen, missionaries, plumbers, and disease cures are we missing because we have aborted an entire generation? And the generations after them?
Can we stop it?
Here's the challenge, if you're willing to accept it.
Will you teach the whole counsel of God? Including the part about sexual immorality (any kind of sexual immorality) and "thou shall not murder"? This includes the little babies jumping in the womb receiving oxygen through an umbilical cord who already have little personalities, faces, fingers, and souls with their whole lives ahead of them, who like Jesus, came at conception, are already living, and may continue to live if just left alone.
Evil is rampant in our state because "my people perish for lack of knowledge/vision". We are not talking about blobs of tissue or a woman's period, we are talking about people made in the image of God – sons and daughters. Abortion kills children, harms women, silences men, and tells the church you are irrelevant to do anything about it!
What does God say?
What does God say about child sacrifice? About idolatry? About justice and injustice? About orphans? About gender? About sex?
Every abortion is an act of idolatry to self, wealth, or health. Education, career, income, relationship, reputation, convenience, ... something or someone is more important than obeying God. It is giving one’s body over to the demonic to invade a woman's body instead of entrusting oneself to God. Nine out of ten abortions are performed on single women. More than 85% percent of abortions are preventable by lifestyle.
These children’s blood cry from the ground for justice. We have polluted the land with the blood of innocents. Ten times the number of children have been murdered in America than in Nazi Germany.
What does your congregation know about it?
What is your congregation doing about it?
First, women and men need to hear the gospel – that Jesus’ blood is more powerful than the blood on their own hands. And the blood on ours for allowing a holocaust.
If we are going to overturn the current evil law of abortion through birth in Colorado, and if we are going to end the castration and mutilation of children after they are born, we need to call our state to repentance.
Second, elect people from your community who don't just say they are prolife, but who actually put forward laws and vote to end child sacrifice in the state. They commit to do it and you hold them accountable to do it.
Third, tell congress to pass laws consistent with the right to life enumerated in the U.S. Constitution. Tell the executive branch to enforce the U.S. Constitution. Pressure congress to pass the Save America Act. We need to end computer generated elections for same-day, in-person voting with voter ID hand counted by precinct to remain a sovereign nation. "Vote Day" can become a national holiday so everyone can vote!
Fourth, change the Colorado Constitution. It takes 2% signatures of registered voters in every Senate District during a limited signature gathering time and then 50% plus one vote to remove child sacrifice from our state Constitution.
It’s going to take people serious about protecting our youngest and most vulnerable children in every senate district to get this done.
Are you up for the challenge?
Can you talk to your congregation? Can you talk to your pastor?
Part of a revival, part of an awakening, is that our faith informs our action. We don’t just say we love others. We don’t just say we are prolife. Our actions show our repentance.
When we love people, we care about the policies governing their lives.
Right now, we have a Sodom and Gomorrah in our state. And it’s not just Denver and Boulder. It’s your community. And it’s mine. We are responsible for the laws in our state and the legislators who represent us.
We are responsible for our school boards and city councils. We are responsible for the policies in our schools and the ordinances in our cities. We are responsible for the children dying while we are silent.
Have we had enough yet?
Enough where we will do something about it?
Will you be the tip of the spear? Will you lead in your congregation? Change starts with each of us!

Did you know?
We have a shortage of babies to adopt in the US. Children saved from abortion do not need to go through foster care - they can go from the arms of bio mom into the arms of parents she chooses to parent her child through modern adoption. Bio mom may also choose how involved she'd like to be in her child's life and if she'd like an adoption ceremony.
