A Postcard From the Front Lines of the Abortion War

Spotted at mysanantonio.com:

Shortly after graduating from seminary 15 years ago, I accepted the call to be the pastor of a Baptist church in Wichita, Kan. One afternoon, shortly after our arrival in Wichita, a postcard came to the church office inviting me to participate in a series of protests in front of the newly constructed home of a local doctor who performed abortions.

So, as a Bible-believing follower of Jesus I did what any Christian should do in a situation like that — I called the clinic of the doctor whose name was featured prominently on the invitation and told his head of security to warn the abortion doctor about the pending protests.

It's hard to extract a pull quote from this story that does it justice.

Suffice it to say, it is IMHO a must-read.

...it's a call for all of us who are pro-life to reflect on the damage that the inflamed rhetoric and the constant tactic of demonizing the other over the past 35 years has done to our culture. I can see Jesus working at Agape Pregnancy Center, but I don't see him with a bullhorn in one hand and a picket sign in the other.

They didn't have bullhorns when He walked the earth ... maybe with a bullwhip, overturning tables, calling people vipers?

And by the way, the model for the goofy hick preacher telling annoyed worldly people to repent as they walk by going about their sinful business is Jesus ...

Actually, the model for that dude is probably John the Baptist.

i get your point, but isn't possible in the case of Jesus that he managed to transcend his roots? not that there's anything inherently wrong with goofy hick preachers, of course...

i imagine Jesus , along with his many unique attributes, as being a Cool Guy.
