The Elijah Challenge to America – 2006

What was Elijah's challenge to a very wealthy nation saturated in religious pluralism? Simply this ,"How long will you waiver between two opinions? If the Lord is God follow Him; but if Baal is god, follow him." 1 Kings 18:21. The prophet of God made it clear that it is impossible to serve both Baal and Almighty God. It was true then, and it is true now.

It is our privilege and duty to bring this biblical principle to life once again in Jackson, Mississippi this summer. Our cry will be the same as our Founding Fathers who, after placing their signatures upon the Declaration of Independence, with one mind, one heart, and one voice declared, "No King, but King Jesus!"  

The Elijah Challenge to America – 2006
by Cal Zastrow

We don't need to overturn Roe v. Wade to re-criminalize the murdering of preborn children. It could be done in one week if the leadership of either major political party in Congress would become pro-life and act accordingly. For starters, here is what a pro-life Congressman could do right now:  

1. Sponsor H.R. 552, the Life at Conception Act, move it through committee and bring it up for a vote, now!  

2. Vote NO on all spending bills that include funding for Planned Parenthood or any other organization that provides abortions.

3. Introduce articles of impeachment against all anti-life federal judges.  

4. Repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.  

5. Refuse to endorse, campaign for, support, or vote for any candidate who does not commit to the first four points in writing and on their websites.

Here is what some federal politicians will say after you challenge them on how pro-life they are, along with some suggested responses:

Candidate: I won't get re-elected if I bring up bills that the leadership is opposed to. Do you know how mad my political party leadership would get at me if I tried to impeach a bad federal judge?

Christian: You are clearly demonstrating that your posh government job is more important to you than your soul or the lives of children. Stand on principle and trust God.

Candidate: If you don't vote for me, then my pro-choice opponent will win.

Christian: I won't vote for the lesser of two evils. If there is not a 100% pro-life candidate on the ballot for Congress, then I won't sin by voting for any more compromisers for that office. Many German churches supported the election of Hitler because he appeared to be a lesser evil than Communism.

Candidate: But if you don't vote for me that other wicked party will get control!  

Christian: Your political party hasn't impeached bad judges, defunded Planned Parenthood, or stopped the killing. I will vote in faith and not in fear anymore. ……….

Candidate: Your 'no-exceptions' candidate doesn't stand a chance of winning. He isn't viable!"  

Christian: Not viable! That's what they say about preborn children before they get murdered. Winning is honoring God and standing for Truth. That is more important than being elected and violating principle to do it."

Candidate: You're not being realistic.  

Christian: Reality is that over 4,000 American children are murdered daily by 'choice.' Reality is that God will destroy America unless we repent and stop the shedding of innocent blood!

Candidate: We have to go slow and work incrementally.  

Christian: You don't regulate Auschwitz . You shut it down! These are people being murdered and I will not support any candidate that does not get serious, by impeachments, no-exceptions legislation, and endorsements. ……….

Candidate: But if I start impeaching and bringing up the bills you want I'll lose my endorsement and p.a.c. money from this other 'pro-life' group.  

Christian: Wouldn't you rather be endorsed by God for obeying Truth than be judged by Him for compromising the lives of children to gain money or favor from men?

After your Congressman ignores your correspondence or walks away from you, go recruit a real pro-life candidate to run against him!
