India Is Far From Solving Their Problems

Dr. Mohler comments on a very important abortion story reported in the Associated Press. In the Nation of India, it has now been recognized that abortion is killing millions of women in the womb while male babies being given life. This has caused a crisis in the population. So the Indian Government has sought to solve the situation.

"Dubbed the "cradle scheme," the plan is an attempt to slow the practice that international groups say has killed more than 10 million female fetuses in the last two decades, leading to an alarming imbalance in the ratio between males and females in India, Renuka Chowdhury, the minister of state for women and child development, told the Press Trust of India news agency in an interview published Sunday."

Mohler comments:

"Well, this is a crisis situation by any estimation -- and it is a good thing that the Indian government is finally admitting the problem. Why did it take the deaths of 10 million girl fetuses motivate the government to do something?"

I have to disagree with Dr. Mohler here (I know, I know, it is always tough to disagree with a man of his ability and character.) The Indian government is not admitting the problem by any means. Am I to believe they now know that abortion is murder? Are they now actively bringing charges against those who would murder the weakest of society, in this case that being baby girls?

No Dr. Mohler, they have not acknowledged their problem. Even the use of the term "deaths" instead of "murder" betrays their motives. They have only decided to deal with a situation that is not in their nation's best interest. That being "an alarming imbalance in the ratio between males and females". This is still "might makes right" philosophy. They are only doing what is expedient for their nation, not because of any inherent evil they are committing.

Until they acknowledge the fact they have suppressed the knowledge of the true God in order to maintain power over the weak, the problems in that nation will only take on new forms, even if they manage to solve this one temporarily.

In the past, the Scott City Christian School and the First Baptist Church of Scott City have supported an Indian missionary couple in the nation of India. They are in the battlefields for the minds and hearts of the people. There are many others as well. We should all pray for these missionaries. They are in a struggle for literally the lives of women and souls of men and women and their nation at large.

This couple must not reduce their proclamation to a mere moralistic campaign. They must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvation for every one who believes. (Romans 1:16) It is this Gospel that will truly save and bring true repentance to a lost people.
