And the LORD said to Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them…Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them."
We have paid an enormous price for our loyalty to the god of Choice in social and economic costs. What cures for disease have not been discovered? What works of art have been lost forever? The cost of the lost GDP is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars. Well documented, peer reviewed studies have established the social costs: increased depression, addiction, medical problems and suicide among post-abortative women when compared to women who have carried their child to term. 63,000,000 of our citizens, roughly 1/3 of our nation murdered to serve the god of Choice.
And we expect the LORD, God the Almighty to turn a blind eye to the silence of His Church? Reread and reread and reread Leviticus 20:1-5
