If you don't do what you know is right, it is sin!

I know, there are so many reasons not to do what is right! You know, we have to think of the repercussions on our families and our way of living! And what will my boss say if I do what is right? I can lose my job. People may laugh at me!

There are so many occasions, almost on a daily basis where we could be doing what is right. You can stand up for the weak, the homeless, the widows, the aged, and more. But, do you?

You know that it is right to stand against racism, don't you? You know that it is right to feed the hungry, don't you? The question is, Why don't you?

You can sit there and think about all the right things to do, but then you also have to ponder why you don't!

Abortion and injustice in South Africa

... and the church has thus far failed the unborn!

Abortion is a growing industry in South Africa.
 
Since the inception of the new abortion laws in 1997, South Africa has legally murdered almost 1,000,000 babies. A law, by the way, that was not given to the people to decide upon, as the ANC ignored what the people had to say!
 
South African Christians must be the most laid-back Christians in the world. Even in America, where affluence is the in thing, Christians stand up against the government more than they do in South Africa.
 
Sunday, 30 January 2011, was Sanctity of Life Sunday or Life Chain Sunday, and I am sad to say that I have not heard a sermon from the pulpit in more than 10 years. Our churches seem to be more interested in feeling good than doing good. Some ministries held Life Chains on 29 January, and others on 1 February.
 
It is time that churches start speaking against the injustices of the land. How can the church remain silent while babies are being murdered. This is only type of injustice being committed in this land under the sanction of the government. The church is silent because it has no backbone! It is more interested in having the right kind of music, or the right kind of preaching that is not offensive or the proper presence in government than standing up against injustices! The church is weak while it claims to have such a big impact on the nation; however, if that were the case, why do we see more and more perversion in the nation, on our television channels, magazines and newspapers? If that were the case, why are the number of babies aborted growing every year? The church is weak because it no longer stands up for the truth and for justice! It is soft-peddling the gospel instead of raising the banner of truth. It can no longer rise up against injustice, because it no longer has a sound Biblical theological base upon which to stand!

I will be on The Late Debate TV programme, again! This time on abortion.

As many of you already know, I was on The Late Debate on 8 December 2010 as a panellist, on the topic of a Biblical Worldview, especially in relation to all the students that were to attend university for the first time in 2011.

This time the topic will be abortion. The title of the programme will be “The Cry of the Unborn Child.” The recording for this episode will be on 10 February 2011 at 12:00.

It falls directly within the scope of Biblical Christian Network, the ministry that I work with. In fact, just last Saturday, 29 January 2011, we had a Lifechain (a peaceful prolife/anti-abortion protest) on the corner of Rondebult and North Rand Rd in Boksburg, South Africa. I will have the pictures and video online soon.

I have been involved in these Lifechains for 5 years now, and have missed only one in that time. The one I missed was in November 2010, due to the fact that I was at the recording of the previous The Late Debate programme that I was a panellist on.

I have blogged many times before on the topic of abortion, and this is indeed a topic that needs to be put out in the open. Even though The Late Debate is a Christian discussion programme on the issues of the day, please pray that I will be able to speak clearly and convincingly on the topic, and that those Christians that are still ambivalent on this issue will be convinced to stand for life.
