Sexual Immorality Kills

I recently read an article by Sarah Fowler of the “Florida Family Policy Council that said “Abortion is the Leading Cause of Death” I back checked the figures from the article with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and I assure you that the data from that article and the data that I will use for this one are correct. To remain consistent I will use data from the CDC.

Here is what the article said about the United States: “Here in the United States, approximately 6,677 people died per day in 2009 (the most recent data available) of all causes (not including abortion). About 4,000 babies die per day by abortion in the US alone. If we add the victims of abortion to the death rate (making the deaths per day 10,677), they account for more than 37% of deaths in the United States. To put that percentage in perspective, 15.3% of that 10,677 die from heart disease (the leading cause of death according to the CDC) 14.5% from cancer, and so on” (Sarah Fowler).

You may ask why add the 4000 babies to the 6,677 people who died in the United States together? The CDC counts both but keeps the data separate, by acknowledging that the 4000 babies who were aborted are deaths they would be acknowledging that they were human life and they are not going to do that.

This caused me to ask two questions based on my assumptions of the total depravity of Man. If man is totally depraved then the abominable act of murdering a child in the womb has to be the result of another sin, namely sexual immorality. The data that I found not only answers my two questions but it also proves my assumption and the truth is far worse than I would have ever imagined.

Let us define sexual immorality, not man’s definition but God’s. Jesus said; “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become on flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6) So God’s definition of marriage and sexual relationship is one man and one woman for life; anything outside of that is sexual immorality, it is sin.

So I had two questions based on my assumption:

1. Of the 4000 babies killed in the womb everyday by abortion what percentage is a result of sexual immorality?

2. Of all babies conceived in sexual immorality what percent are murdered in the womb by abortion?

I received these figures from Patte Smith of “Sanctuary Ministries” on women who get abortions; “64.4% have never been married, 9.4% are divorced, 18.4% are married.” There is 7.8% unaccounted for so at least 75% of all abortions are on unwed mothers meaning that 75% of all babies killed in the womb are a result of fornication. The percentage of babies killed being the result of sexual immorality could be much higher than 75% when you consider the 7.8% unaccounted for and the married women who are having abortions to hide their adultery. So we will go with 75% from unmarried women being the figure for babies killed as a result of sexual immorality since we cannot prove the assumptions.

Question 1) Of the 4000 babies killed in the womb everyday by abortion what percentage is a result of sexual immorality?: About 4,000 babies die per day by abortion in the US alone; 75% would be 3,000 babies die per day by abortion in the US because of sexual immorality. Do you understand what that means? As a result of their mommies and daddies fornicating, these babies are losing their lives at a rate of 3,000 per day.

Question 2) Of all babies conceived in sexual immorality what percent are murdered in the womb by abortion? The second question was a little more difficult to figure out but it just so happens that the CDC has figures on births as well. 1,633,471 per year or 4,475 babies are born to unwed mother per day in the US. Add the 3,000 babies per day that should have been born but were killed by abortion to the 4,475 babies who are born per day, the actual figure of births in the US to unwed mothers should be 7,475 babies born to unwed mothers per day. So that means if you are conceived in sexual immorality you have a 40% chance that your mother is going to have you killed. 40%!!! Put in perspective if any other activity had a death rate of 40% it would be outlawed.

Something else I found out by looking at this data and I wasn’t even looking for it. There are 3,999,386 total births per year or 10,957 births per day in the US. Add in the 4,000 babies killed per day by abortion in the US to the 10,957 births per day, there should be 14,957 babies born per day in the US alone. That means that for every baby conceived in the womb more than 1 in 4, 27% will be killed in the womb. I took this a little further and realized something that I hadn’t assumed and it revealed a country that is sick and rotten at the core. Since I discovered this I mentioned it to a small degree a couple of times on my facebook page and people became immediately offended and got all patriotic and political. This is neither about patriotism or politics this is spiritual and it is warfare. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Now if we take the 14,957 babies who should be born per day in the US and use that as conceptions per day. Actual conceptions would be higher because there are natural deaths that occur in the womb that are not part of this data but the percentages should be exactly the same. So 14,957 babies are conceived in the womb per day in the US, 7,475 of those conceptions are by fornication. Do you see it? In the US per day 50% of all babies conceived in the womb are done so out of wedlock, in fornication, in gross sexual immorality. 50%!!!! That is horrific and that does not even account for those who got married before birth and adultery.

This is the United States you live in; 37% of all deaths are by purposefully killing the most helpless defenseless human beings in the country, 27 % that’s more than 1 in 4 babies conceived are killed and that figure rises to 40% if your parents are fornicators, greater than 50% of all babies conceived in the womb per day in the US are done so in gross sexual immorality. You may not like this data and you may be angry at me for putting it forward but it is the truth.

What about us, what are we to do? “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2:15) “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2) Our society is wicked and we should not take part with it, but that being said, while we shouldn’t be of the world we are to be in the world. “I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world” (1 Corinthians 5:9-10).

So if we are to be in the world but not of the world what do we, who are in Christ, do about this?

1. Meditate on God’s word continually: “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.” (Joshua 1:8)

2. Be angry about it, anger causes action: “BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN” (Ephesians 4:26).

3. Pray: “Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

4. Preach the gospel: “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)

“Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.” (Matthew 22:9) Go preach the gospel of Jesus Christ; at abortion mills, at the town square, at courthouses, at city hall, at malls, at feast, at festivals, at sporting events, and on the street corners, “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” (2 Timothy 4:2)

The pastor of my church (Sylvania Church) gave a good definition of love this morning that fits well here. He said, “Love is not doing what people want you to do all the time. Love is doing what is best for the other person, not necessarily doing what they want.” (Phillip Dancey) Take a pregnant mother who is worried about finances and the embarrassment of having a child in fornication. Here killing her baby by abortion first ends the life of her baby, second makes her a murderer. She doesn’t want you to say it, but telling her that aborting her baby is murder, and that Jesus Christ has paid for her sins of fornication in full if she will repent of her sins and put her faith in Him alone is the most loving thing that you can do. Telling people in our society about sin, righteousness, and judgment is not popular, people will not want you to do it but it is the most loving thing that you can do. “Our do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) Martin Luther said, “Good works do not make a man good, but a good man does good works.” If you have been washed, sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ through faith then you are righteous before God in Christ. Our politicians can’t fix this they are as corrupt as the society itself. There is now a 39 year history of abortion in America and it has become big business. But God can! Through the preaching of God’s word, by the working of the Holy Spirit God can bring people to repentance and faith in Christ. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).

Christ or Judgment

On 9/21/2012 I took part in a group called project Ezra, reading scripture publicly. I went to the town square in Tyler Texas and read aloud Hebrews chapter 10 then preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in Open-Air. On Good Friday April 6th 2012 I preached my first Open-Air, this is about my 7th Open-Air since then. I'm posting this for three reasons; 1) for the glory of God, 2) that an unbeliever or someone who thinks he is saved may hear it an repent and believe, 3) to encourage all believers to go out and preach the gospel to show that anyone God has saved can do this. This is an audio only, with some pics that have meaning for me. I hope God blesses you and this edifies you.

A Dead Man Needs a Miracle

Recently I saw this picture on one of my friend’s facebook page, I told him that I was going to use it and he said that he had gotten it from someone else. I recently found out that the picture originated from Sye TenBruggencate. I really liked this picture and the quote on it by Brian Murray, “Salvation is not for a sick man who needs a doctor, but a dead man who needs a miracle.” I decided to use the picture as the wall paper on my facebook page because the picture and the statement fit me for three main reasons and I would like to discuss those here. I am going to begin with the number 3 reason and end with the number 1 reason this picture fits me.

3. The number 3 reason this picture is such a fit for me is that I am by profession a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Registered Nurse and have been so for fifteen years now. It would be safe to say that I have done actual physical C.P.R. on a lot of people, so many that I have no idea how many. When a person goes into Cardio/Pulmonary arrest there is nothing that they can do to revive themselves, if left to them they are dead. C.P.R. done correctly delivers oxygenated blood to the brain & heart. The goal in C.P.R. is to inject into the vascular system a Vaso-active drug like Epinephrine or Vasopressin, the C.P.R. acts as a pump to get the blood containing the drug to circulate through the body and back to the heart, the drug once circulated to the heart excites the cardiac tissue and the heart begins to beat. The heart then takes over as the pump and C.P.R. is stopped, most times a continues infusion of a vaso-active drug is required to keep the heart beating and the blood pressure up and circulating until such time as the cause of the Cardio/Pulmonary arrest is reversed. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not.

2. The number 2 reason this picture is such a fit for me is that I am an Evangelist. I spend much time preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. I pass out gospel tracts to almost everyone I meet and talk with people about the gospel. I currently go out in my community at least once a week, sometimes on a street corner with a cross that says “Are You Ready”, sometimes reading scripture in public out loud and preaching the gospel in open-air. I’ve also got an evangelism partner named Seth Capps, we go out to festivals and events; publically reading scripture, preaching the gospel in open-air, passing out tracts, and talking with people. Preaching the gospel is a lot like doing C.P.R. on a dead man, unless the Holy Spirit gives Him life the Word of God is rejected or even reviled. The goal in preaching the gospel is that the Holy Spirit will bring to life a dead man in hearing the gospel preached. Like in the above C.P.R. scenario the preaching of the gospel is somewhat like doing C.P.R. but what actually brings someone to life is the Holy Spirit reaching the heart, causing a dead heart (spirit) to come to life. Every time I preach the gospel my hope is he or she that God has elected for Eternal life will hear the gospel and by the grace of God the Spirit of God will give life, causing them to repent of their sins and by faith alone receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

1. The number 1 reason this picture fits me is that I was dead in my sins and by the grace of God alone He gave me life. I was dead in my sins and there was nothing I could do to revive myself. Often times I was aware that I was sinning, the law of God is written on the heart of every man, but I would try by my own effort to stop sinning and be right back committing the same sins that I loved over and over again. If you asked me I would even have told you that I believed in Jesus Christ and thought myself to be a Christian, but the problem was that I did not trust in Him as Lord and as Savior nor did I even know what that really meant. If someone were to have used those words I probably would have affirmed them and thought that I knew what they meant, but I could not because I was dead. “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” (1 Corinthians 2:14) By the grace of God I heard the law and the gospel preached, I was crushed I was broken I knew that I had sinned against a Holy, Righteous, and Just God and what I deserved for my sins was eternal separation from God in Hell, I knew that all of my good deeds were rout and that there was nothing I could do to save myself and then I looked unto Jesus my Lord and my Savior and I knew that He had paid the price for my sins in full. I had repented of my sins and trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, he took out my heart of stone and gave me a heart of flesh; I was born again. It was at that moment when I gave up all hope of saving myself that God gave me His Spirit of faith in the Holy One of God, His Son Jesus Christ. I was the dead man’s bones lying on his back in the picture; a servant of God did C.P.R on me, he preached the law and the gospel, the Spirit of Faith came upon me and gave me life so that I could hear for the first time. I then repented and believed (trusted) in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Do you understand what I am saying? It wasn’t me who did this, it was God, He saved me.

It Only Makes Sense

Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only thing in this world that makes sense. If the gospel is truth does anything else matter? Man is sinful and radically depraved and worthy of all condemnation; that means that man is evil. Now contrast that with the fact that God is good, He is Holy, He is righteous, and because He is good the just thing for Him to do is punish man, to separate Himself from man forever. But God made a Way to be just and justifier at the same time, He Himself became a Man in the person of Jesus Christ His only Begotten Son and lived a good, perfect, and righteous life in Him. He Himself bore in His body the full righteous punishment for the sins of man and gave man His righteousness before God. We deserve death, we deserve to be separated from God in Hell for all eternity but God has given us a Way out by the blood of Jesus Christ through faith in Him. When we repent from our sins and by faith and by faith alone receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, God counts His sacrifice as payment in full for our sins and looks at us as if we had lived the righteous life that Jesus lived. That is substitutionary atonement; He took our place receiving the just penalty for sin, which is death and separation from God and gave us His righteousness.(See Romans 3:23-28). He was raised from the dead on the third day defeating sin and death forever, appearing to His apostles, then ascending to the right hand of the Father in Heaven making intercession for us(Romans 8:34).

Now that being truth does anything else matter, does spending day after day gratifying yourself make any sense at all? Sure you need rest we all need rest and we all need a break at times but America is the most entertainment driven culture in the world. All of our free time is taken up by entertainment; even most church services have become nothing more than entertainment for the masses.

I call this blog “A Slave of Jesus Christ”, that is not a cliché or simply a catchy title it is the reality of being a Christian. I was recently reading brother Paul’s 1st letter to the church at Corinth and it brought this back to reality. In the 7th Chapter he said; “You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men” (1 Cor 7:23). He also said; “Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called” (1 Cor 7:24). To help us understand what he meant by that he started this paragraph saying; “Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that” (1 Cor 7:21). As an example before coming to the Lord I had a wife and children, I am bond to provide for the needs of my wife and children both physically and now that I belong to the Lord spiritually. This means that I must work, providing them with enough money to buy food, clothing, and housing. And I am to remain in the condition I was in before God called me. That means you don’t leave your wife and children to go preach the gospel in a foreign land or to take up an itinerant ministry traveling across the country leaving your family to fend for themselves. You know what the word of God says about a man that does that; “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever” (1 Timothy 5:8). Now in the letter to Corinth Paul goes on to say; “For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord’s freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ’s slave” (1Cor 7:22). In every aspect of your life were you are bond, like in my example you are the Lord’s freedman. But in every aspect of life were you are free you are the Lord’s slave and be honest with yourself you have some free time. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior has given us a command not an option but a command “and His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). He has commanded us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15).

In summary, people don’t like the word slave but we are all slaves of something. Having a wife or children does not keep you from preaching the gospel. “You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men” (1 Cor 7:23). Most people become slaves of a life-style, we are to provide for the needs of our families we are not to keep up with the Joneses (for my non-American readers keeping up with the Joneses is an American fraise about pretence). Your family’s needs are more than food, clothing, and housing it is also our presence in the household. If we can go to a foreign land and preach the gospel while providing for our families needs, then we are to do so, taking them with us. I am not in full time ministry but that does not keep me from preaching the gospel in my community, country, and even in foreign lands for short periods of time. Now marriage and family I used as an example, but there are others. We are to remain in the condition we were in before being called, were we are bond we are the Lord’s freedman but where we are free we are the Lord’s slave. Nothing makes sense in this world outside of preaching the gospel. So take the time the Lord has given you and preach the gospel, nothing else makes sense.

Here is a very short video that touched my heart, three men preaching the gospel in Nepal. If you read my blog “Sick if Church” back in February of this year you would know that I had read a story about a missionary preaching the gospel in Nepal, getting stoned then after praying for boldness went out to preach again the next day. The Lord used that story to convict me and send me out the door to preach and witness purposefully. In this video the second man preaching with the brown shirt and khaki pants is Jesse Boyd, it was Jesse's story that the Lord used to get me out the door to preach the gospel. Enjoy the video, it is beautiful.
