Quote of the Week

Here is the quote of the week for July 28.

“The characteristic response we are to make to God as he comes to us clothed in his promises, clothed with the gospel, is faith.  In the context of the New Testament’s vision of what church is to be, this faith most appropriately takes the form of confession.  To each other we confess and testiffy to the greatness of God.  We do this by the very activity of making God’s Word the centre of our activities – by reading it, preaching it, making it the basis of exhortation, and even setting it to music in hymns and praise.  The Spirit uses all this, we are assured, to build us up in Christ.”

Obama on Abortion: “I will never back down.”

“I will never back down from making sure that women have their reproductive rights here in this country. That’s what’s at stake in this election.”

 

 

“Sen. Obama voted against, as a member of the Illinois state legislature, a ban on partial-birth abortion,” McCain said, calling the procedure “one of the most odious things I’ve ever heard of.”

Not valuing the sanctity of human life is a huge dividing issue in this year’s election.  This is one reason of many that my vote will go to John McCain.
