Today's Links 14/5/2010

1. "…whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life." John Piper.

2. "I think again of the lovely prayer of Phillips Brooks, given me by Grandpa years ago, ‘Lord, by all Thy dealings with us, whether of joy or pain (and this is both), of light or darkness, let us be brought to Thee.’”

Elisabeth Elliot, in a letter to her parents, shortly after her husband Jim was murdered, with four other missionaries, in 1956.

3. The reports of a baby who was aborted for a disability, and then survived for two days, can be found here and here.

One of the reports contains this nugget of information: "In 2005 a baby boy in Manchester was born alive at 24 weeks after surviving three attempts to abort him. He is now a five-year-old schoolboy."

Also,
"Italian police are investigating the case for "homicide" because infanticide is illegal in Italy.

The law means that doctors have had an obligation to try to preserve the life of the child once he had survived the abortion."

So, try and kill the baby one minute, and try and save him the next minute!

And the baby's deformity for which he was aborted.....

Cleft lip and palate!

How impossible it is to be a Christian all alone by oneself!
