Deliver Us From Evil, Part 17<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Last week, we talked about responsibility and consequences\nof choice. One of the things that goes with \"a woman's right to\nchoose\" is the consequence of that choice. The Spirit of Abortion, of\ncourse, always hides the responsibility that goes with choice, and particularly\nthe consequences that follow our choices.\u00a0 The deception for Christians\nwho get contaminated with this same spirit is that they think that because they\nprotest and take a stand against something so obviously hedonistic -- something\nwhich so clearly violates the Word of God -- they can avoid the consequences\nwhen their protests also violate the laws of the land.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

\n
\nDuring the late 1980's and early 1990's, I was Chief Engineer for the Fox\ntelevision station in Anchorage. I also happened to be filling in for the\npraise and worship leader at the Grace Brethren Church there. I was called to\njury duty to serve in a case where one of the defendants was active in that\nchurch.
\n
\nMy recollection is that this took place in 1989. Both radio and television news\naccounts \u2013 not to mention all of the major newspapers in the state \u2013 were\nfocused on a story in which 26 individuals were arrested and charged with\ncriminal trespass for interfering with the operation of an abortion clinic run\nby NOW and (what has since become) NARAL.
\n
\nTo say that the case was a political hot potato would be understating it. Oddly\nenough, I was barely aware of the fact that these protesters had been arrested.\nI knew that I drove past the abortion clinic every morning on my way to the TV\nstation, and that rarely a day went by without protesters walking up and down\nthe sidewalk in front of the place. Frequently, I would roll my window down and\nstick my hand out the window, honk my horn, and give the protesters a thumbs up\nsign.
\n
\nTwo of the protesters were prominent Roman Catholic priests, both of whom I\nconsidered as personal friends. One of the protesters was the\u00a0Postmaster\nfor the Anchorage Main Post Office. Several of them were folks I knew as\ncommitted Christians, and although I was not particularly affiliated with their\nchurches or church activities, we had a deep respect and appreciation for each\nother.
\n
\nOne morning as I passed the clinic, it caught my attention that there were no\nprotesters waving signs out front; and the thought briefly passed my mind as to\nwhy they weren\u2019t there. For whatever reason, I was so focused on resolving some\ntechnical issues at the TV station that the news of the arrest of some abortion\nprotesters barely caught my attention. I never really gave it a whole lot of\nthought.
\n
\nSome weeks later, I received the aforementioned summons for jury duty, and was\npleased to respond. Throughout the past 35 or 40 years, I\u2019ve served many times\non various juries, hearing cases that ranged from murder to rape to homosexual\ncrimes to robbery \u2013 you name it! I\u2019ve always considered it my civic duty to\nserve, and have been pleased that in every case \u2013 with one exception in which\nthe case was settled by a compromise between the defendant and the D.A. \u2013 we\nhad been able as a jury to arrive at a unanimous decision. In two of those\ncases, I was picked to be the jury foreman.
\n
\nYou can imagine my surprise when I realized who the 26 defendants were. It\nwasn\u2019t that I knew them all. As noted, I was acquainted with some of them. I\nwas absolutely certain that I would be dismissed under questioning from the\nD.A. or the Attorneys for the Defense. The questioning was sure to include a\nquestion as to whether I knew any of the defendants personally, and that would\npreclude me from serving \u2013 or so I thought.
\n
\nThere was a fairly large jury pool from which to select prospective jurors, but\nto my surprise, many of those prospective jurors eliminated themselves from\nconsideration by making bold anti-abortion statements or bold pro-abortion\nstatements. The questioning ran on for something like three days until the\nthree or four attorneys began with me.
\n
\nThe first question was, \u201cWhat do you do for a living?\u201d Easy answer. \u201cI\u2019m Chief\nEngineer for the Fox TV station, KTBY.\u201d
\n
\n\u201cOK,\u201d was the response, \u201cSo you\u2019re a member of the media?\u201d Had to think about\nthat for a second. \u201cI\u2019m not a reporter, or news anchor, or anything like that,\nbut, yes, my work certainly supports the media.\u201d
\n
\nNext question. \u201cHow much do you know about this case?\u201d My answer was a whole\nlot easier this time. \u201cNot a lot. You might think that my work in a TV station\nwould make me very aware of current news events, but the fact is because I work\naround it all day long I probably watch a whole lot less TV than you do. I\nalmost become insensitive to what is being aired. I\u2019m barely aware of the fact\nthat these folks were arrested, but I honestly have no idea what the\ncircumstances are.\u201d
\n
\nOK so far. Next question. \u201cDo you think you can listen to the facts and the\nevidence presented and make a clear and fair decision based on the facts\nalone?\u201d
\n
\n\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d I answered.
\n
\nThe Assistant District Attorney \u2013 a woman of some repute as a hard-nosed\nprosecutor \u2013 had been doing the questioning. She nodded her head and turned to\nthe Defense. \u201cI\u2019ll accept this juror,\u201d she said.
\n
\nWOW! That was it? No questions on \u201cwhere do you stand on the abortion issue?\u201d\nNo questions on \u201cdo you know any of the defendants\u00a0personally?\u201d
\n
\nThe Defense attorneys simply nodded their heads and said, \u201cWe concur. We will\naccept this juror.\u201d
\n
\nFor whatever reason, I could only assume that the Lord wanted me on this jury.\nI didn\u2019t volunteer any information they didn\u2019t ask for, and sure enough, I was\naccepted for the jury, and subsequently chosen as the jury foreman.
\n
\nThe case, as presented to the jury, was simple enough. Whereas the defendants\nhad previously limited their protests to walking the sidewalk in front of the\nabortion clinic with signs, and speaking to young women who obviously were\ncoming to the clinic for the purpose of getting an abortion, and encouraging them\nto choose to either carry the child to full term and keep him or her, or \u2013 in\nthe alternative \u2013 putting the child up for adoption, they now chose to block\naccess to the doors and refuse entrance to women seeking abortions.
\n
\nNOW\u2019s and NARAL\u2019s involvement with the clinic brought the wrath of the liberals\nand leftists down on the heads of the protesters with a public campaign waged\nin the news media painting the protesters as hate-mongers and anti-women\u2019s\nrights. What a sack of manure!
\n
\nAs I noted when I ran for Congress in 2004, I absolutely supported (and\ncontinue to support) a woman\u2019s right to choose. The problem isn\u2019t her having a\nchoice in the matter. The problem is making the choice and then trying to\nignore the consequences of that choice and not shoulder her responsibility for\nmaking the choice. When a woman makes the choice to go to bed with a guy and\nthen flippantly decides to murder an unborn child conceived in her womb because\nshe doesn\u2019t want to live with the consequences of her choice, that is nothing\nless than cold, calculated, heartless irresponsibility. It cheapens her, it\ncheapens the whole sexual act, and it ignores the purpose behind the way God\ncreated us.
\n
\nOur society has become contaminated by an effort to destroy the moral fiber and\nspiritual backbone our founding fathers had when they agreed to this nation\u2019s\ncreation and its constitution. There is no inherent constitutional right for\nany person, man or woman, to cavalierly ignore their responsibilities as beings\ncreated in God\u2019s image or escape the consequences of actions they knowingly\ntake with malice aforethought.
\n
\nThat underpinning of responsibility also comes with Christians who knowingly\nbreak the law \u2013 even if it is a bad and unjust law with horrific spiritual\nconsequences. Hebrews 13:17 tells us, <\/span>\u201cObey them that have\nthe rule over you, and submit yourselves.\u201d<\/span>
\n
\nAdd to that Paul\u2019s admonition to the Romans (13:1-2) <\/span>\u201cLet\nevery soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:\nthe powers that be are ordained of God. \u00a0Whosoever therefore resisteth the\npower, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to\nthemselves damnation.\u201d<\/span>
\n
\nWe DO have the right, both as Christians and as Americans, to protest against\nunjust laws and unjust circumstances. That said, there may well be legal\nconsequences for our protests; and if we choose to protest or take action in\nthe face of laws forbidding such protest or action, we must do so KNOWING full\nwell that we MUST bear the consequences for our actions.\u00a0 The series I've done\nin previous years on the American Covenant clearly spells out the fact that our\nfounding fathers knew the potential consequences for their actions, and many of\nthem died for what they believed and did in the forming of this nation.
\n
\nResponsibility and consequences are not just for \u201cthe other guy.\u201d History is\nawash with the stories of Christians who have protested against ungodly\ngovernments and ungodly laws passed in the face of opposition from the\nrighteous. Many, many of those Christians have suffered personal consequences\nfor their protests, often winding up in prison or even worse.
\n
\nA book that has impacted me throughout much of my ministry was written by\nDietrich Bonhoeffer; a Lutheran pastor and university professor imprisoned and\neventually put to death in a concentration camp by Hitler. That book was\ntitled, THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP<\/i>, and it spells out in personal and\nspiritual detail the consequences for our stands as Christians in an evil\nsociety. Bonhoeffer personally took a stand against Hitler\u2019s laws outlawing\nchurch training colleges and directed the creation and operation of two such\ncolleges. He defied the edict of Hitler knowing it could cost him his life.
\n
\nAmerican and British friends spirited him out of Germany after the outbreak of\nWWII, but he insisted on returning to be a part of the Christian community in\nGermany with the statement, \u201cI shall have no right to participate in the\nreconstruction of Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the\ntrials of this time with my people\u2026.\u201d Dietrich Bonhoeffer refused to be a part\nof a mindset that rejected the consequences of actions taken in defiance of\nungodly and unrighteous laws.
\n
\nWhen the trial of the abortion protesters began, the look on their faces when\nthey saw me seated in the jury box clearly indicated that they expected me to\nbe a force on that jury for their acquittal. We had no communications between\nourselves, and I sought to carry out my responsibility to the court with\nintegrity.
\n
\nAfter several days of testimony, culminating in the showing of a video shot by\nsomeone on behalf of the abortion rights folks clearly showing some 20 of the\n26 protesters refusing to peacefully disband and leave at the request of the\nAnchorage Police Department officers called to the scene, the case was turned\nover to the jury with some careful instructions by the presiding judge.
\n
\n\u201cYou are not here to decide on the constitutionality of the law that permits\nabortions,\u201d he said. \u201cYou are not here to render judgment on the doctors and\nmedical practitioners who perform these abortions. You are here ONLY to rule on\nwhether the protesters committed criminal trespass.\u201d He proceeded to read the\nlaws dealing with criminal trespass; and then directed us to retire to the jury\ndeliberation room.
\n
\nOnce the jury was seated in the deliberation room, the cacophony that erupted\namong the jurors was almost deafening. After getting them to quiet down, I\nbegan to ask them one by one how they felt about the case and if they had\narrived at a decision after hearing and seeing the evidence presented.
\n
\nNot one single juror wanted to convict the defendants. Even those jurors who\nclearly were not Christians said to me, \u201cWe\u2019re wasting our time, and we\u2019re\nwasting the time of this court to even hear this case. This case ought never to\nhave been brought to trial.\u201d
\n
\nI said to them, \u201cI absolutely agree with you. In many ways, this is a sham\ncase, and these protesters were baited and set up for prosecution.\u00a0 Nevertheless,\nevery single one of them had a choice to make \u2013 just like the women whose\nchoices we have decried because they are now trying to avoid the consequences\nfor their choices.\u201d
\n
\n\u201cWere I in the position these defendants now face,\u201d I continued, \u201cI would\ngladly accept the consequences \u2013 just or unjust \u2013 simply because had I chosen\nto protest or block entrance to that clinic in the face of standing criminal\ntrespass laws as a public statement of who I am as a Christian. I would gladly\naccept a fine or jail time because it is a small price to pay for saying a loud\n\u2018NO!\u2019 to a society that legalizes or attempts to legalize this kind of crime.\u201d
\n
\nI concluded my commentary by saying, \u201cIf, instead of 26 protesters, we had 260,\nor even 2600 protesters willing to take that stand at the same time, do you\nthink our courts and our society would get the message? I suspect they would!\nThese 26 protesters deserve our thanks. They deserve our commendation for their\nbravery. But they also \u2013 according to the Law \u2013 deserve a guilty verdict from\nus because they DID violate the laws of criminal trespass. Those are unjust\nlaws specifically set up to prevent this kind of protest, but \u2013 until such time\nas those laws are repealed \u2013 we do the protesters a disservice, and we do\nsociety a disservice if we ignore the law.\u201d
\n
\nIn the end, after a lot of debate and review of the video tapes, we agreed as a\njury to free six of the protesters because there was no clear evidence against\nthem as having been a part of the groups that blocked entrance to the clinic.\nThe remaining 20 were all given guilty verdicts.
\n
\nWhen the judge asked me, and I read the verdicts rendered by the jury, there\nwas a gasp from the defendants. They obviously expected to get off.\u00a0The\njudge fined each of them $1,000 and sentenced them to 30 days in jail, but\nsuspended the jail time on condition they stay away from that clinic.\u00a0The\nguilty verdict cost the Postmaster his job. I met with him and one of the two\npriests who were also found guilty after the trial. We went to a nearby\nrestaurant for lunch together. They were obviously baffled at the outcome\nknowing my very strong stance on this issue, and began peppering me with one\nquestion after another.
\n
\nI explained things to them exactly as I had spoken in that jury room. \u201cWe have\na responsibility as Christians,\u201d I said. \u201cThat responsibility is to stand up\nand speak out against the injustice of laws that permit wholesale murder. That\nresponsibility can also include taking actions that may cause us to be arrested\nand jailed in order to make enough noise in our society to bring an end. With\nour actions, however, come consequences.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

If we are brave enough to\ntake those actions, and loud enough as Christians to speak out against the\ninjustices and unrighteousness of officials who pass laws permitting these\ninjustices, we\u2019d best be ready to shoulder the consequences that go with our\nactions. When we try and escape from the consequences of those actions, we\ncheapen the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we cheapen our testimony as Christians, and\nwe lower ourselves to the level of the cowardly women who also try to escape\nthe consequences of their choices. That cannot and must not be!\u201d
\n
\nThe Roman Catholic priest who sat across the table from me stood, reached\ntowards me to shake my hand, and said, \u201cThank you for that. You\u2019ve helped me to\nreevaluate my position as a Christian and certified the integrity of my choices\nand actions.\u201d
\n
\nMy friend, the Postmaster, stood also with tears in his eyes and said, \u201cI know\nthis is going to cost me, but you\u2019ve made me appreciate that cost, and I\u2019ll\nnever forget it.\u201d
\n
\nWhen our testimony and our stance as Christians costs us nothing, we\u2019re worth\nnothing! Over the years, I\u2019ve been threatened, shot at, sued in courts of law,\nkicked out of churches and called every name in the book \u2013 all for the sake of\nmy stand as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Should the day come that\nI am compelled to violate some civil law in order to stand for truth, may I\nnever run from the consequences of my choice and actions.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n
