About Me
- Mark Pickup
- I am disabled (triplegic)with advanced multiple sclerosis. As my disability increases I have become interested in discovering Christian meaning in suffering. My priorities are faith family and sanctity of human life. I will dedicate whatever energies I have left to these things. I am now convinced that if a society does not embrace the sanctity dignity and equality of all human life (and North American society does not) then any barbarity is possible. A truly civilized society includes in its tender embrace every human life. This includes every child developing in the womb, those people with mental or physical disabilities, those with terminal conditions, derelicts, the old and people who are not wanted or even loved by anyone. Love is what defines enlightened and civilized society. But love needs the divine. The brotherhood of man needs the Fatherhood of God. Love without God becomes selective coersive and arbitrary -- turning lives of the weakest into hell on earth. Yes, enlightenment is impossible without God. Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest imperative of the 21st Century.
