I am a day behind this week. However, your writing today was insightful and applicable to today’s problems. I find it interesting that many that are against abortion are not against war or even death penalty. Isn’t being against killing a life important no matter the stage? Also, many are against refugees and their awful plights because of the “laws” of the land. How hypocritical Christians can be. I believe Jesus would be disappointed. I hope I have the courage that Esther had to confront even Christians . Thanks for always writing with heart. God bless you.

You conveniently didn’t include her full prayer, Dan.

Jesus advises us NOT to pray like Esther. He advises us to pray for our enemies and thosr who persecute us. And that prayer does not include requests for their demise. If it did, then it would be easy. Not being familiar with the topic, is this how the Church has historically advocated for (Crusades), or turned a blind eye (Nazis) to war?

– in our culture the youth and society in general greatly revere the leaders and industry who advocate pro-choice and have singled out the pre-born.
