what this debate is really about

Hi RICHARD,   A few days ago, I sent you a powerful video showing why the common, "my body, my choice" argument in favor of abortion is false.   Abortion stops a baby's beating heart. Abortion is not about not ending the rights of his or her mother.    But what about when the baby is already born? Surely our society can agree that killing a baby once it's outside of the mother's womb is clearly infanticide, right?    Unfortunately, abortion advocates do not agree. I know, because our team went undercover and asked Planned Parenthood what they would do if an unwanted baby survived a late-term abortion.    Despite their sworn testimony to legislators saying that they do not engage in infanticide, we were told that they would do nothing to help a baby survive if he or she was born alive after a botched abortion.   This baby is a person and is entitled to receive medical care and support. Infanticide is illegal in the United States. However, all too often, abortion doctors defy federal law and proceed to kill these precious babies born alive either directly or through neglect.    RICHARD, abortion is never easy to talk about and our undercover video is hard to watch. Not because anything graphic is shown, but because of the callousness of the abortion doctor describing how far they will go to stop a baby's beating heart once and for all.    I understand if you do not want to see this undercover video. I know that you recognize these evil practices for what they are – but many don't. Many continue to look to Planned Parenthood as a trusted organization and attempt to justify abortion based on Planned Parenthood's "good intentions". Planned Parenthood has done all they can to bury videos like this and keep them from getting out.    If you want to hear and share what abortion practitioners are telling women right now, then here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtpdYlcbVRQ   We only defeat darkness by dragging it into the light. We have to expose it so the world can see what abortion truly means.    This isn't a debate over terms, this is the continued killing of babies in the womb and outside.    The last people we can afford to trust to tell us the truth are those who daily profit from the destruction of the innocent.    Thank you for speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves.

Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament

New in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament Daniel: God's Kingdom Will Endure Daniel is a book of exile and expectation. In a foreign land, God's people face confusion, uncertainty, and even death. Where is God? What is his plan? What is the future for us? The book's familiar stories and unsettling visions answer these questions with a simple but stunning truth: the God of Israel is sovereign king of a world-encompassing eternal kingdom. He is king of all kings, and although his rule may not always be obvious, he alone rules a kingdom that will endure. One day, his king will reign with his people over an indestructible kingdom forever. Until that day, God's people live and often suffer in exile among the kingdoms of the world but they can endure with courage and confidence as they await the coming fullness of God's eternal kingdom. LEARN MORE › Praise for Daniel "A broadly inclusive, evangelical commentary on Daniel that at the same time engages respectfully and thoroughly the critical issues without partisanship, argument, or accusation. This is one of a kind!" —RONALD W. PIERCE, professor of Old Testament, Talbot School of Theology "A new day for Daniel studies. If persons were trapped until they preached through Daniel—which describes the way many approach such a series—and only one commentary was allowed, it's an easy choice. Widder's commentary combines her expertise in Hebrew and Aramaic and builds on her series of important studies on Daniel over the past decade. She never minimizes interpretive difficulties. But Wendy leads us past the long-line of interpretive cul-de- sacs created by earlier commentators on Daniel. Anyone who wants to understand and teach Daniel and trust the Most High God needs to start here." —GARY EDWARD SCHNITTJER, distinguished professor of Old Testament, Cairn University "Widder provides a close reading of the text of Daniel, highlighting the essential features of the book's clauses in its original languages. By auditing how the book creates its discourse, she builds a solid platform for moving from grammar and syntax towards meaning and theological interpretation. Students will appreciate the attention to detail, as well as the wider connections Widder makes between different parts of the book of Daniel. Widder does not shy away from the difficult critical issues, of which there are many. She presents multiple perspectives, which she evaluates with generosity, while also being up front with the conservative Christian framework within which she is working. Christian exegetes and preachers will find both food for thought and good guidance for their analysis and preaching endeavors." —GEORGE ATHAS, director of research, Moore Theological College "Widder provides well-reasoned evangelical positions on critical matters and her comments are thorough, clear, and accessible. Her translations are carefully crafted to convey the nuances of the Hebrew and Aramaic, and it is clear she has a deep familiarity with the book. Her facility in discourse-linguistic analysis is evident throughout, making it a wonderful contribution to the series." —JOHN COOK, professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages and director of Hebrew language Instruction, Asbury Theological Seminary   © 2023 HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
