Evangelicals Warn Costa Rica Bill Could Open Door to Euthanasia
Evangelical leaders in Costa Rica are standing firm against a proposed “dignified death” bill that threatens to undermine the sanctity of life. The Evangelical Alliance Federation of Costa Rica warns that this legislation possesses legal gaps that could lead to state-sanctioned euthanasia.
The federation argues that the bill allows third parties to influence end-of-life decisions, placing vulnerable patients at extreme risk. By masking assisted suicide under the guise of compassion, lawmakers risk devaluing the inherent worth of every human being.
“Who defines when a life is no longer worth living?”
This question highlights the dangerous shift toward subjective “quality of life” criteria that contradicts the biblical truth of God’s sovereignty. Our lives are a gift from the Creator, and moral care must focus on alleviating pain rather than intentionally hastening death.
Faith Facts
- The Evangelical Alliance represents churches nationwide in defending life from conception to natural death.
- The proposed bill includes a clause exempting physicians from liability if they act out of subjective “compassion.”
- Christian leaders are calling for expanded palliative care and spiritual support instead of life-ending measures.
As believers, we must advocate for laws that respect the divine spark in every individual and protect the conscience rights of medical professionals. Let us pray that Costa Rica chooses to honor life through increased support for the suffering rather than the shortcut of death.
Sarah Mullally’s entry as the Archbishop of Canterbury signals a shift toward a ministry defined by compassion and a nurturing spirit.
Drawing from her background as a nurse, she seeks to lead the Church through a focus on kindness and the healing love of God.
Faith Facts
- Mullally views her vocational background in nursing as the foundational training for her current role in Christian leadership.
- Her theology centers on the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing that love for God must overflow into active care for neighbors.
- She believes local churches must serve as primary models of compassion, treating kindness as a demanding and costly virtue rather than a weak one.
Mullally often reflects on the biblical requirement to be moved by the suffering of others just as Christ was stirred to action.
Faith Facts
- Christ Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus, showing that sorrow is a holy and expected response to death.
- The promise of God wiping away all tears in Revelation 21:4 refers to the eternal kingdom, not necessarily our current life.
- Believers are called to grieve with hope, yet this hope does not negate the need for time to mourn.
True Christian fellowship requires standing with the brokenhearted rather than rushing them toward a forced sense of victory. While believers hold a blessed hope in Christ, the Bible never suggests that our earthly journey will be free from deep sorrow and lamentation.
We must reject a sanitized version of faith that views grief as a lack of spiritual maturity or an embarrassment to the Gospel. Scriptural victory involves the presence of God in our pain, not the absence of the pain itself.
The Church should be the primary sanctuary where the hurting feel safe to express their loss without judgment or pressure to move on. By listening and crying with those in need, we reflect the heart of a Savior who is near to the brokenhearted.
May we cultivate a biblical worldview that honors the sanctity of life and the reality of loss until we reach our eternal home.
A powerful move of the Holy Spirit is sweeping through college campuses as students embrace repentance and the Gospel.
Author Jennie Allen recently witnessed an undeniable outpouring at Southeastern University in Florida, where hours of worship and public confession transformed the student body.
Faith Facts
- More than two-thirds of the room at Southeastern University committed to vocational ministry or mission work after the call to repentance.
- Students confessed struggles including suicidal ideation, addiction, and anxiety as they sought healing in Christ.
- Jennie Allen said she has baptized hundreds of students over the last two years as Gen Z turns to biblical truth.
During a time of deep confession, one student cried out about a past struggle with abortion, sparking a chain reaction of vulnerability and healing.
This moment of truth led hundreds of students to surrender their lives to vocational ministry and mission work for the Kingdom.
“They want God. This is not complicated for them. They feel hopeless and helpless, and when they hear that the God of the universe loves them and knows their name, they’re in.”
Many young people are finding that the empty promises of the secular world lead only to desperation and a crisis of identity.
By naming their sins and the lies of the enemy out loud, these students are finding the freedom and grace only possible through Jesus Christ.
This generation is proving that when the Church stands firm on the Truth, the Holy Spirit moves to restore the brokenhearted and reclaim the culture.
Let us pray that this fire of revival continues to spread until every campus in America is touched by the glory of God.
