The Baby Leaped

-

A great post by David Mathis at Desiring God: The Baby in My Womb Leaped for Joy:

Luke uses the word "baby" to denote not only the post-born Jesus in the manger (2:16) but also the preborn John in the womb (Luke 1:41, 44). Luke also notes that the preborn John was "filled with the Holy Spirit," a reality which the Bible only ascribes to persons.

The assumption is that the baby in the womb is a person. And the implication is that human life in the womb should be protected.

    Pastor Mark,

    Thankful to live in North Carolina, as one of the top 10; I am from Maine...one of the bottom 10. Its cold up there, in more ways than one. I pray for more workers to reclaim a region once filled with powerful ministry.

    Have heard some great reports of God's movement in New England. We might need to have a FLAME class in New England.

    Jesus gets the last word. Amen!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
