Loving Babies, Killing Babies, Killing God’s Messengers contrasts God’s love for children with what Jerry Finch describes as a growing culture of death in the modern world. Beginning with the birth of a colleague’s grandson, the article reflects on how God often begins His work through the birth of a child and emphasizes the biblical responsibility of parents to raise children in faith, love, and obedience to Christ.
Drawing on numerous Scripture passages, the article highlights the innocence, faith, and spiritual potential of children, encouraging Christian parents to see them as a vital mission field. It stresses that shaping the next generation is one of the Church’s greatest responsibilities.
The second half examines biblical and contemporary examples of violence against children. Jerry Finch recounts the slaughter of infants under Pharaoh and Herod, child sacrifices to Molech, and modern abortion, arguing that these reflect Satan’s continuing opposition to God’s purposes. The article also discusses child trafficking, war, and the deaths of children in conflict zones as further evidence of humanity’s rejection of God’s gift of life.
Finally, the article contends that those who defend biblical values increasingly face hostility and attempts to silence them. Jerry Finch urges believers to reject society’s acceptance of abortion and other forms of violence against children, remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and courageously defend the sanctity of life as evidence that the world is approaching the last days.
