A parable...
To those Reformed men ever vigilant to protect our form of government from being harmed by the passage of code banning abortion across our nation, a parable... (TB)
Here we have the Hutu father sitting on his porch holding forth on the boundaries of his property and the limits of his legal powers and obligations as a group of neighbors use machetes to hack to shreds his own Hutu son and Tutsi daughter-in-law and their eight children (his grandchildren).
But of course, the bloodshed is out in the street just beyond his property line...
He's the pastor of the local Presbyterian church and he is regularly featured as a conference headliner across East Africa. He's always talking about the importance of the church not meddling in the civil magistrate's turf. Says Machen agrees with him.
His best-known work (that's only sold in the tens of thousands because this is Rwanda, you have to understand) is titled, Let the Church Be the Church: Gospel Centrality from My Front Porch.
Recently when he took his African Reformed preacher victory lap across America, he reminded his fellow Gospel coalitionists that they had no right to talk. After all, he and his people had only killed their hundreds of thousands while Americans continue to kill their tens of millions. "There's simply no comparison in the amount of bloodshed," he said. "Who are you to talk?"

How many times have we heard stories of "Black Robe Regiment" pastors who supported the Revolutionary War primarily to oppose the Stamp Act (1765)?
Where are these same brave pastors, men and boys to oppose our Great Innocents Genocide (1973-Present)?

Well, some of them can be found at (or tracked down from) this blog.

Anoter reminder of how incredibly long suffering God has been in not bringing His holy wrath down on America for the blood of the little ones we have spilled.

No no no. Brother David and I have done little to stop the bloodshed. We preach and teach and (rarely, today) picket and preach and teach and write. But what's needed are a hundred thousand men of God who teach and preach and picket and preach and teach.
And then civil magistrates who are men called by God to lead the reform with courage and zeal.
We have almost none of either. And some men make a principle of being neither, if you can believe it!
Love,
