Reading: 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 (NLT)

For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.

Peanut Gallery: Since 1973 when the US Supreme Court legalized abortion, over 55 million babies have been killed. The numbers are staggering and continue to grow. Maybe this will help you get a handle on it –

Time: If you counted 1 baby per second, it would take you 1 yr and 9 months to get to 55 million, and by then an additional 2,400,000 babies would have been aborted. In fact, 3 more babies will be aborted in the time it takes for you to read this post.

Population: 55 million abortions is the approxomate equivalent of eliminating everyone living in the States of Califonia and New York… or wiping out everyone who lives in the United Kingdom, or Italy. It would cut Mexico’s population in half… or eliminate every Canadian with 20 million deaths to spare.

Deadly comparisons: The Atomic Bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima…
