The Priceless Value of One Special Child -- This Surrogate Mother Gets It

                             (image from http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/04/health/surrogacy-kelley-legal-battle/index.html)

There are lots of sad and terrible stories out there.  This is one that just warms my heart.  A surrogate mother is asked to abort the child when the baby's parents find out about her medical problems in utero.   The surrogate refuses and has the baby and then finds someone to adopt her.  Wow, I see a pro-life tour in her future. She probably doesn't see what she did as heroic but I do. Thank God for such everyday, normal heroes like her who choose life and thank God for willing couples who adopt children with special needs.

Rob Bell's Love Wins: Chapter Four: Does God Get What He Wants?

Before I start, I want to make clear something from an earlier blogpost. I wrote of future events from a premillennial, dispensational perspective. By no means am I implying that is the only orthodox position. I will leave it to others who comment to give other orthodox perspectives, if they wish. My issue with Bell is not orthodoxy but what I view as error and obviously many godly, conservative Christian scholars agree with that assessment. Our differences over orthodox doctrine are within the family. We believe that Bell’s is outside of orthodoxy. The title of chapter four reveals the depth of Rob Bell’s misunderstanding. God would love for everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth and be saved by faith in Jesus. However, even as Bell acknowledges, a loving God will not force anyone.
