In 2019, in an effort to communicate why Christians should care about politics, I came up with this mantra: “Politics matters because policy matters because people matter. Politics affects policy, policy affects people, and people matter.” Abortion is perhaps the most obvious example of that truth. The legalized slaughter of babies should be enough to animate every Christian to do everything possible, both personally and politically, to join the fight. I have no tolerance for the Christians - and especially the pastors - who see abortion as “too divisive” and therefore a subject to be avoided or caveated to death. We are literally talking about helpless babies being poisoned and dismembered. It is the child sacrifice of old, just euphemized and sterilized. If you can’t speak up now, you wouldn’t have spoken up then. For all of the black square posting, social justice posturing of Mushy Middle Christians, when it comes to something as tangible and as clear as abortion, suddenly they’re full of nuance and trepidation. Let me break it you: abortion isn’t nuanced. They’re just cowards. And it’s not because they “don’t want to be political,” it’s because they don’t want to be Biblical. You can’t even get through Genesis 1 without seeing the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, and the reality of male and female. For the Christian, these aren’t just “culture war” issues. They’re Biblical ones. And if you won’t engage in them, it’s not because you don’t want to be divisive, it’s because you don’t want to be a Christian. Christians have stood against the slaughter and objectification of children for millennia. When we stop, darkness prevails and thousands of babies endure slow and torturous murders at the hands of bloodthirsty merchants of death. Wake up
