Do You Hear The Sound Of Crying?

Summary: So much crying in our world but Jesus has the answer.
Why are children aborted?
The Alan Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of Planned Parenthood) states: * 1% are victims of incest or rape * 1% had fetal abnormalities * 4% had a doctor who said their health would worsen if they continued the pregnancy * 50% said they didn’t want to be a single parent or they had problems in current relationships * 66% stated they could not afford a child *75% said the child would interfere with their lives.
While I am diametrically apposed to the murder of unborn children through abortion, I sometimes think that these babies are really the lucky ones.
Too many of our kids are what used to be called, “Latchkey Kids”. Their parents both work or are never home with them and these kids are left to their own devices for survival. They are left to roam the “hood” and fight for survival of the fittest like some wild animal.
These kids are crying out for someone to notice their condition and to really care about them. Our so called, Child Protection Agency often does more damage to destroy a child than to help. I am glad for the few they help but so much more is needed. Man’s pitiful efforts in solving the problems of sin in the family are futile at best.
Our kids are crying for safe places to play, to go to a safe school, and a safe place to grow up without fear of being hurt, kidnapped or killed.
There are even Cries within the Church!
With so much deception and false teaching, the cry of the church is for Truth and not fantasy.
The church should be crying more than we are, for we have the only answer but we aren’t concerned enough most of the time, to cry out to God on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Our cry is for the real fire of the Holy Ghost and not just voices that come from the lips of burning embers who have very little anointing and power left in them.
Christians cry out for Truth in relationships with other Christians and not for just some superficial, uncaring program that purports to reach out to them.
The church should be crying out for workers who will enter into the harvest fields to reach souls in these last days but we are crying out for personal wealth, personal gain, and have little concern for the lost souls.
Yes, there are many cries that can be heard in the earth, but what cries should we be listening for?
We must cry out to God for all of our problems and not to other people who cannot even help themselves.
Psalms 18:3-6, "I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears."
The church should be calling out to God for boldness and for a new vision of lost souls that we can deliver the message of the gospel of salvation to a lost and dying world.
Man needs to hear the message from Romans 10:13-15, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
