Choose Life Australia

• Does it matter that governments legislate for evil?
• Does it matter if governments compel evil?
• Are these matters “defining issues” as to how I should vote for politicians or parties that have supported these matters? (And, if not, then what is a defining issue?)
• Is there a role for this church and for the body of Christ as a whole?
• Will these matters make a difference in my ordinary way of life? Will they make any difference as to how I spend my spare time?
• Will they make a difference as to my future directions, even occupation?

Is this disturbing? It should be. This issue is a watershed in Australian political history. If the truth about marriage is crucified at the highest level of Australian government there will be no getting it back. You may argue there is no point in fighting it, that this is part of the inevitable decline preparatory to God’s judgment but should we not preach and teach truth to our children? Should we not attempt to speak truth to our MPs before the February deadline?

A Christmas present recommendation The other day I saw and immediately bought the newly published Bonhoeffer – Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxos who also wrote Amazing Grace the story of William Wilberforce. In my eagerness to have a 5 minute squiz I thumbed over to the chapter on “The Church and the Jewish […]

The issue of battle fatigue is real. Our politicians and we, the Australian public, will be facing this again with euthanasia and physician assisted suicide – and also the re-definition of and abandonment of marriage and family as the bedrock of society.

how dare we repeat history by excluding any rights of the unborn child at risk of abortion. To thumb our noses at the intelligent dedication of the people and nations that formulated the Universal Declaration is an astonishing action of ignorance and irresponsibility and – yes – selfish arrogance.

We are entering a new dark age. Can we remain silent? What is it that we don’t get? If those of us who understand such things remain silent before this election in Victoria what charge will be laid against us because we have failed to be watchmen?

Each Victorian has a choice between good and evil this election. Will you vote for a candidate who will do nothing to reverse this compulsion or will you vote for a candidate who will support the removal of Section 8? Surely, a clear choice – unless you choose, exercising your conscientious objection, not to vote at all

So how do you define a “defining issue”?

Defining issues are wrongs actually brought into being by government introduced legislation as opposed to matters occurring or happening in our world. With respect to things that are happening we may argue about contributory negligence and about what might be required in legislation to rectify that and also to prevent it. But what we cannot argue about is when governments actually legislate to permit wrong. What we cannot argue about is when governments legislate to permit evil. And especially what we cannot argue about is when governments legislate to compel evil.

Statement: In Victoria we have unrestricted late-term abortion, unrestricted eugenic selection of anything regarded as imperfect through to birth, and legal compulsion of doctors to act against their conscience and their
professional judgment – all this significantly due to the influence of Emily’s List of which our PM Julia Gillard is a founder.

Question: If it is absolutely clear that a political party leader is deliberately leading the country in an un-ethical and anti-God direction, can we trust that leader or that party in other non-God areas?
