What do Haiti, Baby Isaiah and the United States Government All have in Common?

Indeed, what do Haiti, having experienced a catastrophic earthquake and unbelievable devastation, and Baby Isaiah, who lies in a Canadian hospital on life support, and the United States Government, which has just experienced a focusing realignment lesson in democracy, all have in common? A need for restoration. Each needs restoration – for families, for life and for direction that affirms life.

Haitian families who survived the natural disaster have turned to God’s restoration, and children who have lost their parents have turned to those who can help them. God’s littlest angels [www.glahaiti.org], a Christ-centered orphanage connected with Bethany Christian Services [see www.Bethany.org] is an excellent place to channel energies and resources to assist Haitian children in this restoration process.

Meanwhile, Baby Isaiah James May and his parents in Canada await a ruling from a medical expert and a judge who will determine whether the Canadian national health care system ought to continue Isaiah’s life support. Professor Kohm spoke about this case with Heather Sells at CBN News this morning. You can see that interview below . This child has parents who love him , will care for him, and are now fighting for his life, yet the Canadian government is making a decision about the merits of his life. Baby Isaiah needs life affirming restoration.



And the United States needs representatives who can restore our focus on liberty, as Massachusetts voters sent a powerful message of democracy in action that is echoed from coast to coast, which in turn has culled the national health care debate for now. Taking a lesson from the case of Baby Isaiah may mean a whole lot more to us in understanding what nationalized health care will affirm – or not affirm. America needs a restoration of its direction toward liberty and freedom for American families to be free of government intervention.

Jesus Christ is the expert on restoring life, and families, and societies – for Haiti, for Baby Isaiah, and for Americans.
