The Baby Conference
Our family had the privilege of attending the Vision Forum Baby Conference this past weekend. It was such a tremendous blessing and encouragement to hear the truth of the Word of God boldly and clearly exposited to defend life created in the image of God. It was difficult to face the culture of death in which we live with so few being willing to boldly stand up and speak light and truth to such a dark time in which death is revered and fought for and where life is relative to a subjective “quality.”
This conference was for just a time as this.
In a day when the president and legislature of our country have thrust a “health” care plan down the throats of the people and the states, a “health” care plan that deems some lives to be unworthy of the essentials of water, food and oxygen, a “health” care plan that has a point system to evaluate the worthiness of someone’s life to be treated for an illness or accident OR NOT, we MUST understand what the Scriptures say about life, death, and our responsibilities to uphold the sanctity of life. Whether it is the life of the unborn, the newborn, the injured, the ill or the elderly, life is sacred as man is created in the image of God and must be protected and upheld according to God’s precepts and principles.
Every single one of us either have or will be faced with life and death decisions sometime or many times in our lives. These life and death facets of life include infertility, fertility, organ transplant – either donor or recipient, euthanasia, special needs children, elderly parents and more. Do you understand, from Scripture, God’s precepts and principles regarding these topics?
These are emotional topics for which we must have God’s precepts and principals in our hearts and minds before we are in the midst of an emotionally charged heartache when we may make unchangeable decisions based on emotion instead of God’s Word. We must be truthfully armed for this battle which we will all face sometime in our lives.
The width and depth of the topics covered at the Baby Conference is so vast that anything I could post on them would just scratch the surface and not do them justice. I highly recommend that you pick up the cd’s or mp3s from this conference. They are already available for purchase.

How I wish I could have been there, or could afford the recordings. The current state of our nation is sad indeed. I’m curious about your reference to the “health care” point system that will be used to determine treatment. I haven’t heard anything about a point system. Can you provide some more information on where I can research that? I’d like to share it with others, but would like to get the source. Thanks!!

Tanya,
I highly recommend that if you at all can, to save up for the recordings of the Baby Conference. This topics of this conference need to be brought into the light, examined in the light of Scripture and then need to become conviction in the hearts of God’s people today.
The source for the point system was from the Baby Conference. One of the men on a panel in a biomedical ethics seminar brought this to light. Very, very, sad……….
