Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 786 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
I am Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Pro-Choice vs Pro-Life - Wisdom Wednesday


Thank you for joining us for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. Today is Day 786 of our Trek, and it is Wisdom Wednesday.  We continue this Wednesday to explore our trek of interpreting life through a Biblical Worldview.  As a Christ follower, it is important to view all situations and events in life through the lens of the Bible. That is a view of the world that is aligned with what the Bible teaches us. We are exploring current issues that impact our world and society and comparing them through the lens of the Bible, instead of the lens of our society, culture, modern media, or social media. I do not desire to tell you what to think, but teach you how to think, so that you may be able to filter current issues and events through your Biblical Worldview.  I may explore opposing views and challenge you to think.  You may not always agree with my view, and that is ok, and I am open to any comments that you may have on the subjects that we explore.

We are broadcasting from our studio at ‘The Big House’ in Marietta, OH. As mentioned in Monday’s podcast, we had anticipated being in Ft. Myers FL with Paula’s Aunt Pauline due to her failing health, but at the last moment, we changed plans as she was able to temporarily go into a nursing home for rehab after a few days in the hospital.  We are on-call to travel there once we know when she will be released from rehab.  We will need to assist on her moving to an assisted living center.   Assisting family in this manner is incorporated into our Biblical Worldview that all of life is precious from conception until death.  God is the author of life, and he knows every moment of our lives.  As King David wrote in Psalms 139:13-16

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.A Biblical Worldview, at its core, is grounded in the fact that the Bible is God’s Word and contains all truth that God chose to reveal to us. Even with that understanding, I realize that there are many interpretations of parts of the Bible, and even the most learned Bible scholars and theologians will disagree.  The last Wisdom Wednesday episode where we explored a Biblical Worldview we looked at additional aspects of Creation vs. Evolution. Which is true? Is it a blend of both?

At the very core of the Creation vs. Evolution, the debate is centered on the argument between whether we are created by an all-loving God who made heaven and earth or are we here by random chance and circumstance. In the first scenario, every person is specifically created for a purpose that is unique to that person.   In the second scenario, it is survival of the fittest where the strong survive, and the weaker ones die off so that the human race can evolve and become better.  In the case of Aunt Pauline who is 90, frail, and in poor health is her life any less important than a healthy young adult?  What about a baby that is not yet born?  Is that child less valuable than a healthy productive contributor to society?

This week marks the 45th anniversary the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in all 50 states.  Let us take time to pause and consider how we should view this decision. So our topic today is:
Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life
