This Is a Baby

Cindy Dawson

These 2 photos are of the same baby. The only difference between these 2 photos is the baby’s location (in the mother’s womb and after birth).

Did you know that you were created the moment your mother’s egg and your father’s sperm were united? Yes, you were created about 9 months before the day of your birth. At the moment of conception, your exact genetic makeup was determined: your sex, your hair color, skin color, eye color, all of it!

At the instant of fertilization, your baby’s genes and sex are set. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy. If it has an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl.

After conception, you started to grow and continued to develop until about age 25. (Emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don’t reach full maturity until the age 25.)

“For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16 NIV (emphasis mine)

God is present in the smallest parts of our lives. Even before we are born, He is at work.

Abortion rights advocates push the erroneous belief that the baby in his/her mother’s womb is not a human being. They refer to her as the “fetus”, “a clump of cells”, a “zygote”, or even a “parasite”. There is a reason behind this.

Unwanted human beings have always been belittled and dehumanized by language in order to justify killing them.

Rebecca Dyer

During the Holocaust, Jews were not considered human. During slavery in America, blacks were not considered “persons” because of their skin color.

A human is a human, and calling it anything else in order to marginalize its value is wrong.

“It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception … and that this developing human always is a member of our species in all stages of life” 

Harvard University Medical School professor Micheline Matthews-Ross testified before a 1981 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee

Abortion Facts

  • As of 2019 – New York abortion law now allows for abortions all the way to full-term!
  • There are nearly one million abortions per year on average, while there are approximately two million families waiting to adopt a child.

Someone must stand up and say, “THIS IS NOT RIGHT!”

“Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
    and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 NIV

To be Pro-Choice means that you believe it is a mother’s choice whether her baby will live or be killed. Let’s call it what it is. You can call it something else, like women’s rights, autonomy, healthcare, etc., but that does not change the truth. Women who face an unplanned pregnancy should not be fed lies!

You have to ask yourself, “Why is there so much pro-abortion propaganda, misinformation, and lies?

According to a 2019 report, revenue for the abortion industry has continued to grow. It has been growing at a rate of 1.7% over the past five years and is expected to total $4.1 billion in 2023.

Follow the money!

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV

Many young people have been brainwashed by a pro-abortion agenda. Kristin Hawkins makes pro-life speeches at universities around the country. You can find her on YouTube. It will open your eyes to what we are up against and the lies these students believe.

(Jesus rebuked the Pharisees saying,) “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NIV (emphasis mine)

“All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.”

Verse for Meditation, 8/10/23

Cindy Dawson

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV Read full chapter

My Thoughts: The measuring stick for truth claims is God’s Word, the Holy Bible, not human reasoning that is in conflict with the Word of God.

Is Knowing God a Mystical Experience ?

Cindy Dawson

I was once deceived by false teachers. Now I realize that the Word of God is my greatest treasure because knowing God’s Word is our protection against deception. If you know the Bible well you will recognize false teaching when you hear it.

That’s why I warn others to read the Bible before reading books about the Bible. That’s exactly how I was led astray by false teaching: by reading books written by false teachers. Of course, I didn’t know they were false at the time, but in my enthusiasm to learn, I was led astray. And so were many others.

Learning God’s Word takes time and discipline, but it is essential for knowing the only true God. If you want to know God, turn to His Word. Can you imagine how many pages of notes it would take to write down everything the Bible teaches us about God, His attributes, and character?

Countless books have been written about how to intimately know God. Unfortunately, many of these books refer to mystical practices, such as contemplative prayer. But these practices are based on New Age, Hindu, and Buddhist beliefs. I come across these books or quotes by New Age teachers all the time.

If you don’t know the person being quoted, try this. Google: “Is ______ a false teacher?” If a discernment ministry has researched this person it will pop up. This is how I have discovered that several “Christian” writers were in fact steeped in occult beliefs. Of course, you must evaluate what is said and use discernment.

Pagan practices may result in a “feeling” of supernatural power which some mistake for the presence of God. One example is to repeat a mantra, to empty your mind, and to listen for God to speak. However, you will find this nowhere in the Bible. In fact, this is a dangerous practice based on the occult which the Bible warns us against.

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” 1 Timothy 4:1

People want to experience the supernatural. They look for it and are enticed by it.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly].” Philippians 3:10 AMPC

But Paul also said this, “For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” 2 Corinthians 11:4

That tells me that some will come preaching a different Jesus, calling on a different spirit, and proclaiming a different gospel. This is not the Jesus we want to know. We want to know the only true and living God and Jesus His Son.

What is this different Jesus? It is one who doesn’t proclaim the truth of Scripture and is often in conflict with Scripture. It might be enticing and sound exciting but don’t be fooled by your emotions. Our emotions can lead us to believe what we want to be true instead of what IS true.

In these perilous times and in the days ahead, the truth of God’s Word is our most precious treasure and protection against evil. Do not look to mystics or pagan religions, like Buddhism or Hinduism, to learn how to know God. The Bible will teach you everything you need to know.

You can learn more about the dangers of contemplative prayer here.

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4

“Great peace have those who love your law,
    and nothing can make them stumble.” Psalm 119:165
