Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice

There was a twelve year old girl who became pregnant. She did not know what was happening to her, but she did know she had to tell her mother soon. So, she went to her mother and told her she was pregnant. As you might have guessed, her mother became furious. She scolded her daughter and did not permit her daughter to get an abortion. Her reasoning was that she would not kill an innocent life, because of her carelessness. Then the real question came: Who is the father? Her daughter hesitated, then told her mother the father was her 22 year old half-brother. Knowing that her daughter had been raped for years by her own brother changed the mother's tune about abortion. Not only was her daughter raped, she would be having the baby of her rapist, which was her own brother. I wonder how many people would call a twelve year old rape victim a murder.
As Christians we are very judgemental when it comes to morals. We believe in pro-life but we will give someone the death penalty when we were not there to see the crime being committed to be able to 100% judge whether or not he even did it. We love to look at people and tell them what they should do under certain circumstances, not being to sure as to what we would do if we were in those same circumstances. I would never say abortion is "the way to go". But in the same breathe I can not tell someone what they are doing is wrong, if I am not in their situation.
God gives us a free will as to what we can do in are lives. If we are making the wrong decisions, God does not come down to earth and physically stop us. Instead he informs us of the consequences of our actions. We as a people should focus on ourselves and what we can do to make our lives better, and make our lives and example for others to follow. We can not call ourselves Christians when we are more judgemental, hypocritical, and adulteress then non-believers. Its ashamed when people say "church folk, are the worst folk" but is there some truth is that? You decide.

How much money do we need to give, Pastor?

I was listening to a certain pastor preaching about "Prosperity". I listened at first, because it sounded like something I would be interested in. But his preaching turned from giving whole-hearted to giving "to receive". He started to talk about putting seeds into the ministry so that god would bless you. I began to wonder, "Since when did you HAVE to give money in order for god to bless you?"
He went on to say that we shouldn't be so concerned about paying a phone bill, because god will provide for you if you are willing to "sacrifice". Then I thought, "Isn't god already providing for me by giving me a job in order to pay my bills?"
Then I thought of the woman in the bible who had inherited her husband's debt. She went to a (pastor) and he told her to borrow some vessels from as many people as she could and bring them home. She was to take the little oil she had (that only filled up barely half of her own jar) and fill up all the rest of the jars. Miraculously, she was able to do so. She was to sell the oil, pay off her debt, and live on the rest.
Now, to my understanding, the lord blessed her without her having to give any "seeds", neither was she required to even give anything to the church. God used what she already had and made it more than enough. Then she was able to pay off the debt and live on the rest.
Our religious figures should focus more on teaching about how we should live a holy life and teach about faith, grace and salvation. Because in the end, we cannot buy our way into heaven. We would give all our money to walk into the pearly gates, but the one thing that's free we refuse to give: Our Soul.
