When my oldest was born, they refused to let me hold her because her oxygen levels were low. But I was persistent, and they eventually relented, allowing her to lay on my chest until the NICU nurse came to roll her away. When the nurse arrived, I asked that they check her oxygen levels one more time before taking her. They did. Oxygen: 100%. Perfect. The nurse shrugged and left. Our baby girl was healthy. She just needed me. My heartbeat, my warmth, my touch. She needed her mom.

Stories like this aren’t rare. Newborns need their moms to regulate their oxygen and heart rate. That’s why, when at all possible, most doctors and hospitals give baby to mom right away.

We know this when it comes to normal births, but when it comes to surrogacy - especially the kind when two men are purchasing a baby from a woman - the baby is immediately and intentionally taken away from his or her mom and given to two strangers. It is not surprising that these babies often undergo complications post-birth. Beyond that, we don’t fully know the physiological and psychological effect of robbing babies of their mothers at birth.

It’s worse treatment than we give puppies and kittens, but when it’s for “inclusion,” it’s celebrated.

Adoption is one thing - it redeems a broken situation. But surrogacy is another - it intentionally creates the broken situation.

Babies’ needs will always matter more than adults’ wants.

When Jesus saves you today, He has already factored in your stupidity of tomorrow. His grace is truly amazing!

Sitting in the presence of God, reading Scriptures, listening to worship music, letting God speak to us personally … these are the things that truly prepare us to be the best for one another relationally.

The lands in the Bible are real. The people in the Bible are real. At this point it takes more faith not to believe in God than to believe in God.

sometimes we have to let go of what we want, so that the Lord can bless us with what we need.

3/25 Government leaders have certainly noted the almost unanimous willingness of people to acquiesce to morally-charged governmental requests, strictures, and control in the context of a global crisis. Very few have resisted. Again, this has been noted. We can be certain of that.

I don’t understand the questions from reporters on Hydroxychloroquine. If a doctor thinks it will help and prescribes it to a patient, what is wrong with that? Would you not want the opportunity to try something that might work? It’s crazy to me.
