A Good Weekly Wrap-Up with several stories today; with most being good news!
However, to start, as Christians we are rooted in the word and should always have a hand on the issue of life in America. The Governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, signed a sweeping new abortion law as a that classifies killing your child as a “fundamental right”. He states “In a time when too many states across the nation are taking a step backward, Illinois is taking a giant step forward for women’s health. Today we proudly proclaim that we trust women.” The new abortion bill states that a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights!
Switching gears, in light of the recent Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) sexual abuse cases and scandals, the Southern Baptist Convention, at their annual meeting, voted to name abuse as grounds to expel churches. This means, that the SBC can opt to cut ties with churches that refuse to aid victims of abuse. In other words, the Southern Baptist Convention can kick a church out for covering up abuse in the church and not handling it well.
