Who Wears the Millstone?

Thoughts for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday...

Written By Esthermay Bentley-Goossen on 23 January 2010

If you were born after 1972, consider yourself a Survivor of the Abortion Holocaust. ONE-THIRD of your generation has been killed by abortion in the United States of America.

"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."

~Psalm 139:13-14

"Then said He unto the disciples, 'It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than than he should offend one of these little ones.'"
~Luke 17:1-2

"If they [my daughters] make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
~ The President of the United States

"The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do."
~A Politician running for President of the United States

"Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds: sound leadership has a moral foundation."

Who wears the millstone?

The abortionist?
The mother who chooses it?
The citizens who support it?
The politicians who fight for it?
The electorate who vote for them?
The citizens who look the other way?. . .

Who wears the millstone?

Born After 1972? Consider Yourself a Survivor!

Written By Esthermay Bentley-Goossen on 23 January 2009


If you were born after 1972, consider yourself a Survivor of the Abortion Holocaust. ONE-THIRD of your generation has been killed by abortion in the United States of America.



To believe it is above your "pay scale" to know whether or not this precious child is a life . . . is LUDICROUS! God's Word says:


". . . 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."
~Psalm 139:13-14



"The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing I’d do."
~ President Barack Obama

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) . . .
would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide!
It would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support.



Who do you know -- whether related by blood or friendship -- that has suffered the loss of a young child through either miscarriage or death?

And who hasn’t seen the throbbing heartache and life-long pain that these losses bring?

Someone please help me understand -- where’s the disconnect?

Why is a life lost to miscarriage or death so much more valuable that she/he is worthy of grief and bereavement and sorrow and remembrance?

Why does the life that has not yet tasted the air and experienced the brilliant light of day by the hand of the abortionist not receive the same expression of grief and bereavement and sorrow and remembrance?

And if these precious lives are grieved – how are we expressing it?

Oh, sure we talk about how appalling and horrific abortion is.

We can sign petitions.

We can put our names on lists that indicate we lift our President and legislators to the Throne of God in prayer.

But what are we doing to STOP abortion?

The majority of Americans wanted to stop a war in Iraq
and we elected the man who promised to do it.

The majority of Americans wanted to see the American economy reflect a more socialistic ideology and we elected the man who promised to do it.


If it’s true that the majority of Americans oppose abortion, what are we going to do about it?

Where is the CHURCH?

Where was the Church in 1973? Asleep? Apathetic? More engaged in the gospel of acceptance and tolerance than the Gospel of Christ and Laws of God?

Where is God’s Church in 2009? Will we remain engrossed and preoccupied with spreading love and acceptance that we allow the CULTURE of DEATH to permeate our country?

YES, we are called to walk in love . . . and thereby love those who agree that abortion is fine . . . but we are also called to further the cause of Christ, NOT the cause of evil.

God’s Word is absolutely and unmistakably clear on the issue of abortion. It’s EVIL.

What are we – as Christians -- going to do about it? What will we do to keep human interference from infringing upon God's Supreme right to create human life in His own image?

WFW. . . Who Wears the Millstone?

Written By Esthermay Bentley-Goossen on 22 October 2008

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
~ Luke 17:1-2


~~ * Please Stop! * ~~


The picture below could make you sick.

And, in my humble opinion, those Americans who support a Presidential Candidate who condones this are just as much to blame. . .

God will hold each of us individually accountable! . . . And YES! This is a repeated theme from last week's WordFilled Wednesday - Because God's Word is FILLED with Words about this abomination.

This is not a broken doll. This little boy was one of several third trimester children found in medical waste bags outside a legal abortion center in Houston, Texas in 1986. This little one was 14" long, weighed 2 lbs. - 2 oz., and was 30 weeks gestation (7 months old!) when he was killed. Today he would be 22 years old. I wonder who he would have voted for on this coming November 4th.

If you were born after 1972, consider yourself a Survivor of the Abortion Holocaust. ONE-THIRD of your generation has been killed by abortion in the United States of America.

Life vs. Punishment. . .
