The Silent Scream
By Mike Taylor
“And Jesus called a
little child unto
him, and set him in
the midst of them,
and said, Verily I
say unto you, except
ye be converted, and
become as little
children, ye shall
not enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself
as this little
child, the same is
greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall
receive one such
little child in my
name receiveth me.
But whoso shall
offend one of these
little ones which
believe in me, it
were better for him
that a millstone
were hanged about
his neck, and that
he were drowned in
the depth of the
sea” (Matthew
18:2-6).
One thing that
stands out in the
ministry of our Lord
Jesus Christ, He
loved little
children. He loved
talking to them,
touching them, and
blessing them. There
is something about
the innocence of a
small child that
touched our Lord’s
heart. Why the
special connection
with all the
parables about
little children,
about becoming as
little children, and
why did our Lord
have a tenderness
for a small child,
say under five years
old?
Further down
in the same chapter,
Jesus reveals the
special place a
small child has to
the Father and to
the Son.
“Take heed that ye
despise not one of
these little ones;
for I say unto you,
That in heaven their
angels do always
behold the face of
my Father which is
in heaven” (Matthew
18:10).
These children
belong to God;
tended to by angels
who see the face of
God continually.
They are entrusted,
to their parents as
guardians of their
well-being and their
instruction in
righteousness.
Children are special
in God’s eyes, as
they are innocent.
They have not
learned the
difference between
what is evil and
what is good. If you
receive a child you
are accepting
Christ, because that
child belongs to Him
(Matthew 18:5). If
that child through
whatever distress
would suddenly leave
this earth, he or
she would
immediately go right
back to the Father
who gave him or her
life.
There was an
instance in Mark
chapter 10, where
Jesus rebuked the
disciples as they
were hindering the
children from coming
to Him. This sorely
displeased our Lord,
because of the
special place He had
for them in His
heart:
“But when Jesus saw
it, he was much
displeased, and said
unto them, “Suffer
the little children
to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for
of such is the
kingdom of God”
(Matthew 10:13-14).
When a person
accepts Jesus Christ
as personal Savior,
He becomes as a
little child.
Children do not
question what they
are told. They
perceive that what
is being said is
truth. When the Holy
Spirit pricks your
conscience and your
heart is heavy with
the burden of sin
that covers your
life and weighs you
down, you accept
what is being told
as being truth, even
though you may not
totally understand
it. But as a little
child, you believe
by faith. An adult
becomes as a little
child in heart and
mind in all its
innocence and
believes what the
Holy Spirit is
drawing them to
faith as a little
child:
“For by grace are ye
saved through faith;
and that not of
yourselves: it is
the gift of God: Not
of works, lest any
man should boast”
(Ephesians 2:8-9).
We believe God. He
said it, so what the
bible says and what
I’m feeling in my
spirit is truth. We
don’t question it,
much like a little
child. The
intellectual,
rational thinker
will try to dissect
it, to analyze, or
use the scientific
method on the
concept and defeat
the calling of the
Holy Spirit by their
inability to
reconcile the
infinite with their
finite mind.
So in thinking about
children, being a
child, or becoming
innocent as a child,
why are children so
special in God’s
eyes?
“Lo, children are an
heritage of the
LORD: and the fruit
of the womb is his
reward. As arrows
are in the hand of a
mighty man; so are
children of the
youth. Happy is the
man that hath his
quiver full of them:
they shall not be
ashamed, but they
shall speak with the
enemies in the gate”
(Psalm 127:3-5).
In ancient times,
and not so long in
the recent past,
children were the
heritage of the
parents and given by
God. They stood up
for their parents in
the gate, which was
a synonym for the
town square. When
people try to abuse
an elderly person,
who will stand up
for them? The
children stand up
for their parents,
or they should. Not
too long ago, a man
that had many sons,
he was thought of as
rich—because many
sons meant the
family would prosper
because of so many
strong hands.
“Rid me, and deliver
me from the hand of
strange children,
whose mouth speaketh
vanity, and their
right hand is a
right hand of
falsehood: That our
sons may be as
plants grown up in
their youth; that
our daughters may be
as corner stones,
polished after the
similitude of a
palace:
That our garners may
be full, affording
all manner of store:
that our sheep may
bring forth
thousands and ten
thousands in our
streets: That our
oxen may be strong
to labour; that
there be no breaking
in, nor going out;
that there be no
complaining in our
streets. Happy is
that people, that is
in such a case: yea,
happy is that people
whose God is the
LORD (Psalm
144:11-15).
TO OUR MODERN,
“SOPHISTICATED”
WORLD
Let’s fast forward
to our modern day
era. There was a
time that children
were the crowning
glory of the father,
and the delight of
their mother. Large
families were common
and the worth of
their offspring were
worth more than gold
or silver. It was
their heritage,
their life, and
their glory.
I have spoken of the
abuse of children in
past sermons, from
ancient times till
our day, and one
thing is for
certain. That
certain judgment
comes to the society
that destroys their
heritage, the fruit
of their womb, and
the glory that has
faded to an
inconvenience.
Lamentations chapter
4 applies aptly to
our day:
“The tongue of the
sucking child
cleaveth to the roof
of his mouth for
thirst: the young
children ask bread,
and no man breaketh
it unto them.
They that did
feed delicately are
desolate in the
streets: they that
were brought up in
scarlet embrace
dunghills.
For the
punishment of the
iniquity of the
daughter of my
people (mothers) is
greater than the
punishment of the
sin of Sodom, that
was overthrown as in
a moment, and no
hands stayed on her”
(Lamentations
4:4-6).
God will judge the
mother who
sacrifices her
living or unborn
children in the name
of convenience. Woe
be to that mother
who does not repent
of this so great an
evil in sack cloth
and ashes.
Even Muslims
Understand This Much
Although, in my
opinion, Muslims
have many children
for the wrong
reason, they
understand that a
people cannot thrive
without many
children. They
realize that without
children, they will
not conquer the
world. In Europe,
they silently,
methodically have as
many babies as the
mother can produce.
Why has Europe been
overrun with the
Muslim population?
Simple fact is that
they are having many
more children than
their counterparts.
Europe realizes this
and in Germany with
the German
population in
decline, they offer
any female that will
have a child and
born German, $12,000
to have a child.
They understand the
practices that have
limited their
population in favor
the Muslim community
will be to their
demise and the
destruction of their
way of life and
their government.
Why is our “free”
civilization in dire
peril? Because we
have allowed our
enemies who hate us
to procreate to our
being overrun with
their pagan ways
through their
offspring, their
children.
A WHOLE
GENERATION
And what can we say
about the United
States? Since Roe v.
Wade we have
destroyed a whole
generation of
taxpayers. It is
estimated that we
have killed, through
abortion and the
ghastly partial
birth abortion,
roughly 40-50
MILLION babies. We
cry of our economic
woes. We cry of
insolvency of Social
Security and
Medicare. Where
would America be
today if these 50
MILLION babies were
working citizens
paying taxes? Where
would the economy
be, if these
innocent children
had been given a
chance at life? What
would our economic
situation be if we,
as a nation had
honored God’s
commands of this
single commandment:
“Thou shalt not
kill”?
No politician or
leader will even
discuss what we have
done to get
ourselves in such a
mess economically
when we have
championed abortions
of convenience and
financed abortion
clinics with
taxpayer dollars. We
have passed our
children through the
fire, much the way
the ancients
sacrificed their
children to their
pagan gods, except
the god we sacrifice
to is: ourselves.
I’m reminded of a
story, a most grisly
story of a “lady”
who was in her third
trimester of her
pregnancy and
visited an abortion
clinic to end her
little one’s life.
Do you understand
the implications of
this? Have you ever
seen the documentary
“THE SILENT SCREAM?”
On the website
concerning this
documentary, we find
this introduction:
In 1984, the
man who two decades
earlier had
co-founded the
leading pro-abortion
group (NARAL),
released the
startling
documentary, The
Silent Scream.
In this video, Dr.
Bernard
Nathanson, who
once ran the
nation’s largest
abortion clinic and
claims he was
personally
responsible for
75,000 abortions,
provides a clinical
and dispassionate
abortion
presentation.
The reason he
did this was to
show, for the first
time what abortion
looks like through
ultrasound
technology. For it
was through this
technological
development that Dr.
Nathanson came
to understand the
evils of abortion
and to repudiate his
former support for
it.”
If you wish and can
stomach the images
that are shown of a
pre-term abortion,
then visit this
website:

If after seeing this
documentary about a
pre-term baby being
torn apart for the
convenience of the
mother and someone
cannot gasp in
horror and become
determined to
eradicate this
abomination in our
culture, then
nothing will touch
their mind or their
heart. And what of
this woman who
aborted her 7-month
old “fetus” (I use
that term loosely,
as this was a near
term human being
able to live outside
the womb).
She had this
innocent life
extinguished because
she didn’t want to
miss the opportunity
to go skiing that
winter! Instead of
aborting our
children, we should
be, loving them. On
the flip side of
this ghastly
reality, I have to
share this YouTube
presentation titled,
Don’t Kill Me,
Hug Me. God has
given each of us,
who have children, a
gift. Cherish them
and fight for others
to live. Go here now
and share this with
others.

The scientific
community likes to
call this human
being a fetus, so
that it won’t seem
like it is such a
big deal and the
horror that it
really is. Folks,
this is a living
human being that
qualifies for a
place in humanity
with only the need
for oxygen to
inflate it’s lungs
and breath air. But
that does not
diminish the baby
whose heart is
beating at a few
weeks of conception.
Or the “fetus” that
tries to escape the
pain of an
abortionist butcher
knife. If they could
make a sound, all of
them would most
certainly...SCREAM!
JUDGEMENT DESERVED
ON THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
How long will God
allow this
abomination to
continue? Read your
Bible when it comes
to sin committed
against children.
Read about passing
the children through
the fires of Molech
when they had sexual
acts with children
before burning them
in their pagan god’s
fire on its altar.
(See past articles
on my website.) Read
what the end result
was to any
civilization that
mistreats its
heritage—the
children. As God
warned Israel that
displaced the
Canaanites before
them for the same
practices, God’s
patience for sin and
especially abuse and
murder to the
innocent amongst
them will be sorely
judged.
“And they have built
the high places of
Tophet, which is in
the valley of the
son of Hinnom, to
burn their sons and
their daughters in
the fire; which I
commanded them not,
neither came it into
my heart. Therefore,
behold, the days
come, saith the
LORD, that it shall
no more be called
Tophet, nor the
valley of the son of
Hinnom, but the
valley of slaughter:
for they shall bury
in Tophet, till
there be no place.
And the carcases of
this people shall be
meat for the fowls
of the heaven, and
for the beasts of
the earth; and none
shall fray them
away. Then will I
cause to cease from
the cities of Judah,
and from the streets
of Jerusalem, the
voice of mirth, and
the voice of
gladness, the voice
of the bridegroom,
and the voice of the
bride: for the land
shall be desolate”
(Jeremiah 7:31-34).
God is saying that
He will destroy that
nation. He will
enact judgment on a
people who directly
or indirectly causes
these sins to
continue. He will
destroy their
posterity and bring
them to ruin. Have
we not done as these
ancient people did?
Has not this nation
enacted laws against
the direct command
of a Holy God?
Do you see what the
penalty was for not
obeying God? Do you
see that God hates
sin, but He despises
the act of killing
the innocent, the
unborn? He hates
idolatry connected
to this act of
abortion. We have
ended the lives of
these potential
members of God’s
family and the human
race in the name of
free choice and
self-concern. The
law of the land
permits this
atrocity! If that is
not idolatry, what
is? What kind of
morality, what
religion, permits
men to enact such
heinous laws? People
have become blinded.
They focus on their
own pleasure failing
to see murder is
involved (let alone
the idolatry of
worshiping at our
own altar, the
self.) Is the above
Scripture a
depiction of the USA
in the near future?
Reader, if there is
still time and God
has not already
judged us then we
need to stand up for
righteousness. We
must stand up for
the unborn. We must
protect the
children. Jesus
emphasized this as
being the same as
receiving Him,
receiving innocent
children in His
Name. I encourage
everyone who loves
God, who loves
children, to take a
stand for the unborn
NOW. Promote any
leader, councilmen,
or government figure
promising and
actually delivers a
pro-life platform.
Let us turn away
from sin, as a
nation, before God
rains down judgment
about this nation’s
head!
Statistically, in
the United States
the most dangerous
place for anyone to
be is in the
mother’s womb! The
unborn baby is a
living human being
who dies a painful
death when aborted.
By the seventh week
of gestation, the
fetus has measurable
brain waves (see a
legal criterion to
determine whether a
person is alive or
dead) and a beating
heart pumping blood
to all parts of its
little body. God—not
the state, not the
individual, not the
parent—is the Lord
of life. Hear the
cry of the children
and stand up for
their life or face
the judgment of
Almighty God.
