PLAN WITH THE PASTOR Sunday January 19 was Sanctity of Human Life Day. Feb- ruary 14 in our society has become a special day to express our joy and delight in others. Many special occasions such as birthdays, anniverâ€" saries, etc., give us opportunities to let people know their value. The "world view" that each person embraces will eventually be reflected in his or her relationships and decisions concerning the value of others. In our society there are two great value systems in constant conflict. The one identified as "Secular Humanism" basicalâ€" ly adheres to a belief in evolution, the supremacy of humans, the inevitabiliâ€" ty of progress, and the irrelevancy of God. The other identified as "Judeoâ€"Christian", acknow- ledges the supremacy and relevance of God who created the world and each species unique. The devaluation of human life and dignity has its roots in the world view that we are merely a proâ€" duct of evolution. In recent' years we have witâ€" nessed the outcome of this world view with the value of human life being tied to economics. Another result of a secular human- ist value system is that the value of human life is related to one's ability to make a viable contribuâ€" tion. 'Others with this root View talk of "Quality of Lifestyle" and some promote the priority of personal freedom. The Judeoâ€"Christian view of life has its roots in the revealed teachings of the Bible. Dignity and distinctiveness of every human being comes from believing we are created by a God who reâ€" mains relevant and conâ€" cerned about_ us. This View values human life from the moment of conâ€" ception until death. The- celebration of human life needs to be a part of what we fight for as we evaluate the freedoms we want as regards abor- tion, infanticide, euthanâ€" asia, etc. There are a host of activists today that appear to be promoting values that we like, but when we take them to their logical conclusion, they are destructive. For example, no lady should be given the right to destroy her unborn baby simply for her own freedom. Belief in the Biblical revelation of God gives a person a world View out of which flows meaning and hope. As individuals all across our land deal .with their root world view and align it again with the Bible, laws and relationships will become dependable and positive once again. The cure for our economic woes is not in the devaluating views of the humanists but in extending ourselves, paying the price of being responsible and in standing with conviction about the sanctity of human life. Francis Schaeffer summarizes it this way, "An emotional uneasiness about abortion, infantiâ€" cide, euthanasia, and the abuse of genetic know- ledge, is not enough. To stand against the preâ€" sent devalutation of human Cancer can be beaten. Please support our ApriLcarnpaign N soc!!! soonv mama tit? Join Canada’s Fastest Growing Hobby!

The world view we choose to live by will affect not only the social issues of our day, but also the very unity of our country. It is essential that there be the kind of grass roots declaration of unity desâ€" cribed in the Januaryâ€"Febâ€" ruary issue of The Lantern, where citizens declare their allegiance to Canada. The world view that pro- motes intrinsic values that will produce a stable future for all, has its roots in Judeo-Christian ethics. A deliberate committed return to the perception of life based on the sanctity of human life, although intolerant of other sys- tems, will provide the quality of life we all desire. The opportunity to change and save our country does not depend upon the politicians but the value system that the majority of individuals choose. Rev.
