Concerning the matter of lives, to disrespect any human life in any phase, is to disrespect all human life and the Creator of humanity. It saddens me to hear of any human life being taken, whether by police, gang members, stand your ground advocates, or Planned Parenthood doctors.

The living Jesus tells me that your life matters more than you can imagine. Insignificance is a dangerous and self-destructive concept.

After centuries of the idea that “black lives are insignificant,” it’s good to state the simple truth that “black lives matter.” It’s also good to be reminded that prenatal lives matter, because modern society says that “prenatal lives don’t matter.” That myth needs to be replaced with “all lives matter.”
