Albert N. Martin

Following are a few excerpts from the series of messages on “God’s Word to Our Nation” preached in the 1980s by Albert N. Martin.

Bloodguiltiness

Contrary to all the sentimental mouthings of current lawyers, judges, sociologists, and even evangelical theologians, it is a slap at the dignity and uniqueness of man to let murdered people’s blood be unrequited. It says man is cheap. He can be snuffed out, and all you’ll pay for it is a few years of easy existence at the expense of hardworking taxpayers…

This land is polluted with blood. Not just a few clots from the blood of one innocent Abel slain at the hand of Cain…It is nothing less than a pool of blood from the children and adults who are wantonly murdered and whose murderers are not put to death—the murders that go on in this country by the dozens every single day—self-confessed, duly convicted murderers who yet live.

Abortion

If there is a pool of blood from the children and adults wantonly murdered…there is an ocean of blood from the murder of unborn children in their mothers’ wombs…With cold and calculating statistical analysis we are told that last year 1.5 million registered state-condoned murders in mothers’ wombs [were committed] in our nation. Oh, the blood that cries from the trash bins of our sterile operating rooms! Oh, the blood that cries from the soap-sterile labs and the Dipsy Dumpsters at the back of our hospitals!…
I say to this nation, Almighty God calls it murder and the shedding of innocent blood. And, dear Christian, if it hasn’t gripped you, it better, because if anything will move God to move some man in a silo somewhere in Russia to push the button and blow this nation into a cloud, I say it is the blood of millions of unprotected helpless lives in the life-support system of mothers’ wombs.
