Digger's Doings

Anonymously Yours

     I am going to take a wild guess that the second Anonymous poster and the first  one are not one and the same. In my first post, I mentioned that, while Randall Terry "founded" Operation Rescue, it was the sacrifices of many men and women that made it the movement it was - people who paid a price for their involvement as Randall did (although not as likely to the financial degree that he did). Had they not, would Operation Rescue have even gotten off the ground much less garnered the reputation that it did?

     I am reminded of the apostle Paul when he recited a long list of abuses he had suffered for the cause of Christ. Although he certainly might have had the "right" to ask not only people b ut also his Heavenly Father to restore "what the locusts had eaten" he took a different approach; one that many who rescued in the late 1980s and early 1990s have also taken. He considered his sufferings a small price to pay in light of Who he was serving.

     Paul also tried to discourage those who claimed to be "of Paul" or "of Apollos" or "of" anyone other than Christ. I would ask those who would like to draw lines in the sand to look beyond legacies and  money and anything else that might be gained by whoever ends up with the name Operation Rescue and consider the far more important Name that should be embraced by all of us.
