The Lord told Jeremiah the prophet, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you" (Jer 1:5). Do you believe God? Meet Tony Miano. He believes God. He loves the Lord, the Gospel, lost sinners, and unborn children. We need a Tony Miano for every abortion clinic in America. Tony keeps the main thing the main thing in saying, “Our primary goal is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone associated with the abortion industry, from the women having abortions to the people working inside the clinics.” Salvation is the mission of the church. I am thankful that Tony’s prolife passion in no way exceeds or confuses his Gospel passion and clarity. Instead, Tony preaches the Law (Thou shalt not worship idols) and the Gospel for the salvation of prolife Catholics outside the abortion clinic, and he preaches the Law (Thou shalt not murder) and the Gospel for abortion minded mothers and the murdering abortion doctors/nurses inside the abortion clinic. All too often the Gospel is compromised in an attempt to save lives. Thank you Mr. Miano for declaring and exemplifying that it is the power of the Law and the Gospel (grace and truth) that saves souls and lives.
Tony is right on in his declaration that "we must stop showing deference to the feelings of women who are murdering their children. Yes, we must speak the truth in love, but it must be the whole truth." How loving is it to the baby to be silent altogether or to avoid the horrific and obvious truth that abortion is a mother premeditating the murder of her own son or daughter? How loving is it to the mother to afford her emotional peace while she murders her son or daughter? Would we see that as loving to the mother or child if the child was a 13 year old boy with a gun pointing at him in the shaking hands of his irate, unstable, murderous, crack addicted mother? Convincing or attempting to convince a mother NOT to murder her child IS LOVE in action and truth for both the mother and the child at 13 minutes, 13 days, 13 weeks, or 13 years old. May God richly bless Tony and his Gospel, prolife labors! May the Lord raise up 100,000 more like him. May souls and lives be saved in the name of Jesus Christ!
