In this profoundly pro-life video, Charles Colson and R. C. Sproul discuss the challenges and utter blessing their severely disabled grandchildren have brought them and others.  As Colson says, "Max put to the test what I preached.  If I preach that all human beings are made in the image of God, then I've got to live it."  Both men believe in the sovereignty of God, and that contrary to the pro-abortion adovactes, their handicapped grandchildren were ordained by Him, and not mistakes to be disposed of.  God's Word says that children are blessings.
