I have many emotions on this day, but few compare with the sadness I feel at once again having a president who would and will deny life to the unborn under any circumstances its mother considers important enough. This morning, John Piper shares questions he'd like our new president to answer, the same ones he posed to an earlier president 16 years ago.
Of course, Mr. Obama is accountable to the people of the United States only in a shadow of the sense in which he's accountable to the God who created the baby. But we must be ready to respectfully ask the questions of him and expect to be honored with honest answers. Read Dr. Piper's two other questions here:
Being Pro-Life Christians Under a Pro-Choice President
The text was 1 Peter 2:17, “Honor the king.” I closed with eight ways to honor a pro-choice president. The seventh was this:
We will honor you by expecting from you straightforward answers to straightforward questions. We would not expect this from a con-man, but we do expect it from an honorable man.
For example,
- Are you willing to explain why a baby's right not to be killed is less important than a woman's right not to be pregnant?
- Or are you willing to explain why most cities have laws forbidding cruelty to animals, but you oppose laws forbidding cruelty to human fetuses? Are they not at least living animals?
