No, we don't want to beat children!

However, over the years, we've been posed with the question, "At what point do children become accountable for their own salvation?"

That is a very good question and one we tackle on today's podcast.

Some people who believe that life begins at conception actually support abortion because those victims go right to heaven. The children, at that point, have no moral or doctrinal accountability (which we deal with in the discussion) and therefore are welcomed into heaven. However, like we pointed out in last week's podcast discussing how life is sacred, their purpose is cut short and all too often just for convenience sake.

For those of us who are allowed to live, there comes a point when we must learn moral accountability - learning of right from wrong. But there also comes a time when we must learn doctrinal accountability - the spiritual recognition that we are separated from God and walking in darkness.

What about "good people?"

What about grade school age children?

What about those who have never heard of Jesus?

We discuss how we are children of wrath, of disobedience, of the devil, or of God and this revelation will answer many of the above questions.

Be ready to expand your understanding of John 3:16 but also the following verses some people choose to ignore.

If you're a video game player where life and death are on the line, you know that you have a limited number of regenerations in case of death. Even if you run out of lives, a simple "restart" will get you back in.

Life, in the real world, is a one time deal. The tombstones have two dates and a dash in between: Birth Date - Death Date. That little dash between them is very important.

Scientists have shown us the "zinc spark" that happens as the human egg is fertilized. They've now shown us the "fertilization ripple" that occurs immediately afterward.

From that point on, life begins. And something else as well: Purpose.

The Bible tells us that even before we were conceived, God established a purpose for us. It's not just for us to exist during the "dash." He has created each one of us for a purpose to be fulfilled. That's why we speak out for the sanctity of life.

Poly can mean "many." Ticks are blood sucking parasites. Put those two words together and it sure sounds like "politics." We think you can figure out where we see the parallel.

It's been since 1835 that our nation, the Good Ol' U.S. of A, has not carried national debt. President Andrew Jackson was in the White House when we, as a nation, was debt free. Since then, the income to outgo as been staggeringly "in the red."

No company or individual can survive operating this way but our nation has continued the downward spiral into massive debt: To the tune of 38.5 trillion dollars. Do we really realize how much debt that is?

In this podcast, not only do we vividly illustrate this but we also put the blame where it belongs. And when it comes to having to "pay the piper," well, it's not going to be a pretty picture.

What's the answer? Let's talk about it.
