Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

‘Tis the Season to be… an Abomination

Who doesn’t love giving and receiving gift cards at Christmas? They stuff nicely into the toe of your stocking and they are always guaranteed to fit. They are like manna from heaven to shopping-challenged people like me. The best shpping idea ever invented is the rack at WalMart that contains gift cards from every place imaginable—that is, every place I thought was imaginable.

Now it seems that a gift card is being sold in Indiana that is unimaginable. The Washington Times reports:

Indiana residents in need of a quick stocking stuffer this holiday season have an unusual option: Planned Parenthood gift certificates.

The group's Hoosier State chapter on Wednesday began selling gift certificates redeemable at any of its 35 facilities for any service provided -- from basic health screenings to birth control to abortions.

Many gift cards are decorated for the holidays and include a quaint seasonal catchphrase. Do you supposes these cards do too? Maybe…

Give the gift that keeps on taking….
Murder is the reason for the season….
The true meaning of X in X-mas….
Honor Herod’s tradition this year….

See Dr. Al Mohler’s excellent commentary on the subject here.

    Hark! The Herod Angels Sing!...and it ain't pretty! It's a death song and so many are lured by it's promise of "freedom of inconvenience". Wonder what God has in store for our nation as a whole...
