An Open Letter to My Charisma Readers: Does Abortion Matter to You?

Dear Charisma Readers,

I write this letter to you in the spirit of honest inquiry, without any accusation or condemnation and without any presuppositions. I’m simply wondering if abortion is an issue of real concern to you.

Over the years, I have watched with interested as different articles on a wide range of subjects have gone viral here while those on abortion receive little attention. Why is this?

It’s clear you’re passionate about other social issues, often sharing these articles tens of thousands of times.

And it’s clear you’re passionate about many other subjects, ranging from spiritual trends to biblical interpretation to the state of the church to leadership issues.

So, lack of passion and lack of interest is obviously not the problem. You are a wonderful group of readers and often your comments are filled with great insights and valuable information.

But when it comes to the subject of abortion, whether it’s one of my articles that gets a lot of circulation on other conservative sites or whether it’s someone else’s article, there doesn’t seem to be as much interest here.

I know you care about the justice.

I believe you care about the unborn.

Yet somehow articles on abortion do not seem to get your interest. Why is that?

Is it because we’ve been fighting this battle for decades and it seems old?

Is it because it doesn’t relate to you as much on a daily basis?

Is it because the church as a whole remains insensitive to this life and death issue?

Or is it something else that I’m missing?

Again, I write this without the least judgment or accusation in my heart. It’s simply a puzzle to me, and so I thought I’d ask the people who would know best: you, the readers!

Please share this article as you see fit and, better still, share your thoughts in the comments section. And feel free to differ with my overall assessment based on your own experience here. I’m eager to hear what you have to say.

Above all, thanks for being a great community of readers. Together we are making a difference in many lives.
