Christian Cancer Patient Write Pro-Life Plea

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

A Christian woman who is dying of cancer is writing a pro-life plea to counter the massive amount of publicity being given to the woman in Oregon who announced the day of her death by suicide.

Brittany Maynard has been gaining attention on major news networks because she plans to kill herself rather than live through the final stages of brain cancer.  Many right-to-die media outlets have been airing her story, calling for assisted suicide to be allowed across the nation.

However Kara Tippetts, a Christian woman who is dying from cancer, is challenging Maynard’s claims and calling on her to realize the value of her life even if she has a terminal disease.

“Brittany, I love you, and I’m sorry you are dying. I am sorry that we are both being asked to walk a road that feels simply impossible to walk,” Tippetts wrote. “[But] in your choosing your own death, you are robbing those that love you with the such tenderness, the opportunity of meeting you in your last moments and extending you love in your last breaths. … That last kiss, that last warm touch, that last breath, matters—but it was never intended for us to decide when that last breath is breathed.”

Tippetts pleads with Maynard not to take an overdose of drugs on November 1st.

“Knowing Jesus, knowing that He understands my hard goodbye, He walks with me in my dying,” she explains. “My heart longs for you to know Him in your dying. Because in His dying, He protected my living. My living beyond this place.”

  1. There is nothing too hard for Jesus Christ; He can heal you. I trusted Him in my cancer and live to tell you about it. For your type of cancer I would start on raw garlic to reduce the growth and SilverSol, 12 ppm to attack the attacker. The Test is to trust; totally. I use these two things today because cancer can come back and when and if it does, it comes with a vengeance; it is THE adversary; it is the enemy. Christ is the Savior; allow Him to save. Leave it to be His will; you may have been called home and there is no way that I could deny it except that I had three little ones and no husband/father to leave them to. To submit to Him is the only safe way. It was the arm of flesh that gave me the death sentence; I refused it. God bless you and yours. We are here to pass the Test. I promised to give this testimony if He helped me survive. I did and I do, in His Holy name.
