I am twenty-one now, but I can still envision my dad waving to me as he was hauled away in a police bus for "rescuing" at a local abortion clinic. The emotional display still lingers transparently in my mind. I was eight years old and proud of my dad. I may have been young, but I had a pretty decent grasp of the principles in which he was leading our family. It was simple for me; after all, we were Christians. The Bible says to "love your neighbor as yourself," and to "rescue those unjustly sentenced to death." So why wouldn't we practice the ethics that we proclaimed ourselves to be in submission to? The affliction that my father undertook for Jesus in those early years of my life released such a catapult of inspiration, that my life was forever dedicated to Jesus, and loyal to the cross. And why wouldn't it be? Jesus says of Himself, "I can do nothing, but what I see the Father do." As my father did what was right, not giving pre-eminence to the consequences, even so was it instilled in me to do the same. This is a foundational principal of God's deeper wisdom. It is also one that is terribly ignored in today's mainstream Christendom. Many Christian kids today (teens especially) seem to be all hyped up with no place to go. The only problem is that Christ went someplace - He went to the cross. Children won't know where to go unless they are led. May God grant His Church vision.
