My Take

To each of the Mason Council Members & Leadership, I wanted to thank you, applaud you for the decision that was made last October to make the City of Mason a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. I know that it was a controversial ordinance in some people's eyes - but it was a right one. I am thankful for you and all those that are willing to make right decisions though facing criticism from a “loud” but “small” crowd that looks to make it a “human right” to abort a human child.  The Bible teaches that the “powers that be are ordained of God” ( Romans 13:1 ) which you are for the City of Mason. God has allowed you to have that important position, USE IT WELL! You have within your power to wield for the defenseless or yield to the selfish. It is your responsibility to do what is right - and you should do it no matter the criticism or the cost because that is the oath you took. Right is always right, truth is always truth, and there is nothing more precious...

Yet that very small town of old is one of the most famous cities of all time, known by the world, musical scores written and sung with it as the subject, and prophesied in God's Word as the Messiah's birthplace, and indeed, the place that our Savior, Jesus Christ, was born. Outside of Rachel, Jacob's wife being buried there; Ibzan, one of the Judges of Israel being from there, the story of Boaz and Ruth, and Herod’s atrocities in slaying the infants there, it has n...
