The Value of Life
We have been associated with Alternatives Womens Care Center for 8 or 9 years and tonight was the annual Fund Raiser Banquet at the WMU Bernhard Center. It was another excellent night of food, fellowship, testimony and recognition of a couple wonderful, long-time staff people who are dedicated to the cause of Christ and the saving of unborn babies. There was a sense of anticipation tonight to hear keynote speaker, Cal Thomas, but I must admit that his message was far beyond my expectations. I was very thankful for his humility and his recognition of God as the only truth, hope and life and that it is all for Him. our Creator, our Savior and our LORD. I heard Mr. Thomas one other time and I left with a different impression, maybe it was so political that it missed the heart, but not tonight. Amazing wit, wisdom and silly showtune comments all made for a very direct and clear message of our role as missionaries in this culture with a purpose to know who we are in Christ and to share the Gospel everwhere we are, in our homes, in our workplace, in our schools and in the streets with the people we meet. We can make a difference when we help folks come to know who they are when they see that Jesus is the Son of God and He has done the great work and shed His blood and that is why He deserves all the glory.
