because they" contravene a basic
way of Jife that governs invisibly all
humanity. Humans have chosen to
defy this higher Jaw. They have
been allowed to do so for nearly
6,000 years. Without fully realizing
it, human beings have taken it upon
themselves to decide r ight and
wrong. That is the sole preserve of
a much h igher authority who has
established a great law to govern
mankind.
What a tragedy most reject,
know little of, or ignore the source
of this great law. That ancien t
source is known as the Holy
Bible.
This authoritative Word twice
states: "There is a way which
seems
right toa man, but its end is
the way of
death"
(Prov. 14: 12;
16:25, Revised Autborized Ver–
sion).
Few real ize God gives us two
choices- two basic ways of life.
"l
have set before you
life and death,
blessing and cursing ..." (Deut.
30: 19). Then God commands us to
choose (verse 19). To our hurt we
humans have chosen wrongly. So it
shouldn't be surprising that as an
example of the fruits of such wrong
choosing, many women go through
much trauma, depression, anxiety,
and sorne become steri1e after hav–
ing an abortion.
Highly educated but misin–
formed professional peop1e are
unaware of God's higher law when
they say women have the right to
abort the unborn . Their advice is
in violation of basic biblical law.
The End of Abortion
Soon abor tion will be a thing of
the past. J esus Christ will return
in power and glory to estab1ish
God's righteous government upon
the earth (Dan. 2:44-45). At that
time all man-made laws contrary
to God's perfect laws wil l be
superseded (Zech.
8:3;
Zeph.
3: 15).
J esus Christ will teach people to
have a different attitude toward the
un born.
1
ndeed the society of
tomorrow's world will foster posi–
tive altitudes toward succeeding
generations. Children will again be
a blessing. "Lo, children are an
heritage of the Lord: and the fruit
of the womb is his reward" (Ps.
127:3).

now by bitter experience, by suffer–
ing, by circumstance and by God's
Word,

was brought low and hum–
bled. 1 began to experience the
unmatched joy of Jearning truth
new to me, as God little by little,
yet more and more, revealed truths
so wonderful they produced real
spi ritual joy. For the first time in
my life
1
found what happiness
really is!
God launched me in his work in
1934, and after my first evangelis–
tic effort in a church in Harrisburg,
Oregon,
1
experienced the greatest
thrill of my life so far, upon realiz–
ing lives had been brought to
repentance, to surrender to God, to
faith in Jesus Christ--converted–
changed! Truly it is more blessed to
give than to receive!
That process of being corrected,
of growing in grace and the knowl–
edge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, has continued, now, lo these
many years- more than a full half
century! And it is still continuing.
God grant it shall forever!

These words of Christ, which he

words and gospel of Christ that
