The document discusses the history of abortion in the United States from ancient times to present day. It provides statistics on the number of abortions performed in the US since Roe v. Wade and discusses viewpoints on abortion from the Founding Fathers. While some like Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton supported abortion, most others like George Washington opposed it, believing life begins at conception. Today abortion remains a divisive issue, with roughly equal percentages of Americans identifying as pro-choice or pro-life.

This document is from a church in Killeen, Texas and contains a lesson on having an attitude of faith. It discusses how faith perceives things that cannot be seen with physical senses. It provides examples from the Bible of people who demonstrated faith through their attitudes, including Noah, Job, Daniel, and others. A key part of the lesson examines the story of the 12 spies sent to scout the Promised Land and how Joshua and Caleb had a positive attitude of faith unlike the other spies who were negative and caused the Israelites to lose faith in God's promise.

This document contains the notes from a sermon on John 14:6 and the exclusivity of Christianity. It discusses five reasons why Jesus is the only path to God: 1) God must be approached correctly as he is holy, 2) God's protocols for approaching him must be followed, 3) Jesus is the acceptable mediator between God and man, 4) Jesus's sacrifice is the only sacrifice that satisfies God's demands, 5) One must have the right attitude of assurance and gratitude in coming before God, which is only possible through Jesus. The document argues that while other religions exist, Christianity alone provides what is required for reconciliation with God.
This document is a sermon on the sanctity of human life. It discusses how the Bible teaches that all human life is sacred from conception based on passages like Genesis 1:27 and Psalm 139. It provides statistics on abortion rates in the US and Mississippi and examines pro-life and pro-choice positions. The sermon argues that one's view of the sanctity of life should affect how they treat all people with dignity and respect, as well as their own bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. It addresses related issues like capital punishment and war.

The document provides a summary of topics related to dealing with difficult issues in encouragement letters. It discusses assurance of salvation, the Trinity, the Bible, denominations, TULIP (a Calvinist acronym), and theodicy (the question of why God allows evil). For each topic, it provides biblical support and potential resources for further reading. The overall document is intended to help pastors address complex theological questions that may arise when providing spiritual counsel and encouragement.

It provides a sample prayer to accept Jesus as savior and receive eternal life.
THE REALITY OF GOD'S PRESENCE AND SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTIONhuldahministry
If miracles happened as written in the Bible, we should always be expectant that they could happen now to those who seek God because God is an unchanging God through the ages...
The document discusses confronting people about their spiritual priorities, especially when facing death or surgery. It warns against relying on psychedelic drugs or New Age practices instead of Jesus Christ. While a positive attitude can aid health, only faith in Christ offers eternal life. The Bible condemns sorcery and predicts deception through drugs in the last days. Believers must lovingly warn others from falling for this and help them find salvation through repentance and faith in Christ alone.
This document provides an overview and summary of 1 John 1:5-2:6. It discusses key points from the passage, including that God is light and without darkness; we cannot claim to have fellowship with God if we walk in darkness; but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another and Jesus' blood will purify us from sin. It also notes that if we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves, but if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us; and that Jesus is our advocate before the Father and the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

The questions christians hope no one will askFrank
This document summarizes responses to 10 questions that Christians hope are not asked. It addresses questions about the existence of God, evolution vs religion, trusting the Bible, Jesus' identity, the problem of evil, abortion, homosexuality, hypocritical Christians, judgmental Christians, and the afterlife. The responses emphasize evidence for God from design in the universe and life, the reliability of the Bible supported by eyewitnesses, Jesus' own claims and miracles, God allowing free will and using suffering for good, the humanity in the womb, loving others while upholding moral truths, recognizing human flaws but putting faith in Christ, avoiding arrogance while confident in truth, and Jesus teaching about heaven and hell based on one's choice to accept
A Defense of Christian Theology: Answering the hardest questions. The Problem of Hell, the Problem of Predestination and the Problem of Pain and Suffering. A presentation given by John Oakes first in Manila 1/17/2010.
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Hebrews 12:1-11 about God's discipline of believers. The sermon discusses how believers are to run the race of faith with endurance, looking to Jesus as the example. It explains that God disciplines believers as children, for purposes of correction, prevention of sin, and education. Though discipline is difficult, it produces righteousness and peace. Believers are encouraged to view difficulties as God's training and endure hardship, trusting that God is refining them.
The document discusses the problem of evil and God. It examines arguments that an all-powerful and all-good God would not allow evil to exist. It then explores various perspectives on the nature and origin of evil. Evil is defined as a privation or corruption of something good. Moral and natural evil are described. While God did not create evil, he is sovereign over it and allows it to exist for a higher purpose. The document analyzes whether God could create darkness and calamity without being the author of evil. Ultimately, all evil can be traced back to the misuse of freedom by God's created beings.
When we hear the phrase "Life After Death", we mediately get the idea of a cosmic heaven. What if Jesus was impressing on us the cycle of life and death and the power of an eternal creation?
The document discusses whether God cares about humanity. It addresses the concept of deism, which believes God created the universe but is not active in it. It also discusses challenges to the idea that God cares, like the problem of evil. However, it argues that Christianity provides answers to these challenges by teaching that God reconciled humanity through Jesus, gives life purpose, and promises an eternal destiny to those who believe. The document concludes that Christianity demonstrates God does care through His actions to overcome evil and save humanity.

3) Victory over the world through faith in Jesus, which allows one to conquer sin and live a new, righteous life
1) The document discusses the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ. It explains that Jesus was fully God and fully man, having both a divine and human nature.
2) As a human, Jesus experienced physical needs like hunger and fatigue. He also had emotions and was tempted but did not sin. However, as God, Jesus performed miracles and had divine attributes.
3) The humanity of Jesus was important because it allowed him to reveal God to humans, be our sinless sacrifice, understand our temptations, and fulfill prophecies about the messiah. His resurrection proved that his life and death were accepted by God as the means to save humanity.
This document provides a summary of Matthew 16:13-20. It begins with Jesus asking his disciples who people say he is. The disciples respond that some say he is John the Baptist, Elijah, or another prophet. Jesus then asks who the disciples say he is. Peter responds that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus commends Peter and says this revelation came from God. Jesus declares he will build his church on this rock, with the gates of Hell not prevailing against it. Jesus gives Peter and the disciples the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

This document provides a summary of Matthew 16:13-20. It discusses Jesus asking the disciples who they say he is. Peter correctly answers that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus tells Peter that flesh and blood did not reveal this to him. Jesus says Peter's name means "rock" and that he will build his church on this rock, which is referring to Jesus himself, not Peter. The document also discusses the "keys of the kingdom" being given to the disciples and church, representing the authority to invite people into the kingdom of heaven.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Mark 2:1-12, where Jesus heals a paralyzed man. It notes that Jesus first forgives the man's sins, angering teachers of the law who say only God can forgive sins. To prove he has authority to forgive, Jesus then heals the paralyzed man. The document examines the theological and historical context, including Jewish beliefs about sin and suffering. It emphasizes that Jesus met both the man's physical and spiritual needs, and that forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ is God's plan to redeem mankind.
This document tells the story of a young girl named Ana who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. After many failed treatments, her condition continued to worsen with no hope from doctors. Her parents began studying the Bible and materials from a Christian group, which strengthened their faith that God could heal Ana through prayer. They dedicated Ana fully to God's care and prayed in faith for a miracle.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Hebrews 12:1-11, which discusses the discipline of suffering. Some key points:
1) The passage uses the metaphor of a race to describe the Christian life journey, where believers must endure hardship and discipline to grow in faith.
2) Jesus is presented as the role model who endured the cross and now sits at God's right hand. Believers are called to keep their eyes fixed on him.
3) Suffering and difficulties in life are a form of divine discipline from God to his children, intended to produce holiness and righteousness, not punishment.
4) Discipline should not be taken lightly or cause believers to lose heart
This document makes a biblical, legal, and logical case against abortion. It provides biblical passages that affirm life from conception and condemn the shedding of innocent blood. It notes that over 63 million abortions have occurred in the US since Roe v. Wade. The document argues abortion is a serious sin but that through repentance and faith in Jesus, people can be forgiven. It advocates changing society not through political tactics but by proclaiming God's word and helping people commit their lives to Christ.
Jesus was both fully God and fully man. As a man, he had a real human body and experienced human temptations and suffering. He took on human flesh through the virgin Mary, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit without a human father. This allowed him to live a sinless human life and sacrifice himself as the perfect human substitute for our sins. His virgin birth fulfilled prophecies and showed that God can do miraculous new things.

1) Paul uses 6 arguments in Galatians 3-4 to prove that salvation is by grace alone, not works. The personal argument references their experience receiving the Holy Spirit when first believing.
2) Paul questions why they would abandon the Spirit if they began in the Spirit. He references scripture like Genesis 15:6 to show Abraham was justified by faith, not works.
3) Paul argues salvation is for Gentiles too, based on God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3. He cites Habakkuk 2:4 to prove salvation is by faith, not works as outlined in the Law.

This document provides an overview of the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ based on a sermon given on Easter Sunday. It discusses how Jesus was fully God and fully man, explaining the theological concept of the incarnation. It explores Jesus' dual nature as revealed through his physical attributes and emotions as a man, as well as his divine works and relationship with God the Father. The sermon emphasizes why Jesus' humanity was essential for him to serve as the perfect sacrifice and mediator between God and humanity.
This document discusses the problem of evil from both atheistic and Christian perspectives. It explores how atheism cannot provide an objective basis for morality if the universe is impersonal. It also examines how the Christian worldview can account for both human desires for goodness and laments over evil. The biblical view is that God allows suffering for reasons like glorifying himself, making people rely on him, and preparing them for tasks in heaven. While some events cannot be explained, God's purposes will eventually be known and he can be trusted.
The document discusses the origins of atheism and critiques fundamental Christian views of God. It argues that the fundamental view of God as an angry, vengeful deity who kills sinners is not supported by the Bible and is responsible for the rise of atheism. The document asserts that God, as revealed through Jesus, is a god of love rather than wrath and violence. It concludes that the fundamental Christian conception of God should be rejected in favor of understanding God based on how he is portrayed through Christ and in scripture.
This document is a summary of a sermon given on John 14:6 at the First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. The sermon focuses on why Christians believe Jesus is the only way to God. It provides five reasons: 1) Jesus is the only acceptable way to approach a holy God. 2) He followed God's protocol for coming before God. 3) Jesus is the only acceptable mediator between God and man. 4) He was the final, perfect sacrifice for sins. 5) Jesus provides the only way to come before God with full assurance, having been cleansed of sin and guilt. The sermon argues that other religions' approaches to God are flawed because they do not recognize Jesus as the sole means of reconc
The article discusses the importance of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

John Chapter 8:29-59, Did Jesus Have A Sin Nature? (impeccability/peccability?); “Truly, truly”; This Is Satan's World; “the Jews” means the enemies of Jesus Christ, the Jewish leadership; The Eternality Of Jesus
Here are concise responses to the key objections:
1. "Firstborn" and "beginning" refer to Jesus' preeminence as the eternal Son of God, not that He was created.
2. Jesus affirmed His submission to the Father's will while on earth, not denying His deity.
3. Jesus was questioning the young ruler's motivation, not denying His own sinlessness or deity.

The main article discusses the concept of truth and argues that Jesus is the embodiment of truth based on his resurrection from the dead and the truthfulness of God's word according to the Bible. It encourages embracing Jesus and truth. Other articles discuss a truth crisis in society, standing up for truth, and how learning the gospel message as a child is a blessing.
The document compares Christian and Muslim viewpoints on abortion. It provides information on the sanctity of life in most religions and then discusses specific Christian and Muslim perspectives. For Christianity, it outlines that the Bible suggests life begins at conception and notes stances of the Roman Catholic Church, which strongly opposes abortion, and the Church of England, which allows for abortion in some situations. For Islam, it mentions the Quran is against killing born and unborn children and most Muslim scholars believe the fetus becomes human at 120 days, allowing abortion before then for valid reasons. The document aims to help students understand and compare different religious attitudes toward abortion.

This document discusses the motivations and importance of Christian service. It outlines five main motivations for serving: obedience to God, gratitude for God's blessings, forgiveness of sins, humility like Jesus, and love for God. True service is characterized by indifference to rewards or tasks, willingness to serve hiddenly or unappreciated, and making service a lifestyle rather than temporary acts. The document also addresses reasons people may avoid serving like lack of adventure or pride, and consequences if the church lacks servants. It provides tips for developing a servant's heart like recognizing one's own weakness and surrendering to God's will.

3. Christians are for
the well-being
and prosperity of
ALL people
throughout their
journey of life
(from womb to
tomb)
4. •Abortion is a serious sin, but that is why Jesus died on
the Cross – so that we could be forgiven of our sins and
brought into a relationship with the living God through
faith and repentance.
7. Church History
•The 2nd century Epistle of Barnabas
speaks of “killers of the child, who
abort the mold of God.”
•Also, “You shall love your neighbor
more than your own life.You shall not
slay a child by abortion.You shall not
kill that which has already been
generated.”
8. Church History
• The Didache (2nd Century) states, “Do not murder a
child by abortion or kill a newborn infant.”
• Defending Christians before Marcus Aurelius in AD
177, Athenagoras argued, “What reason would we
have to commit murder when we say that women
who induce abortions murderers, and will have to
give account of it to God? …The fetus in the womb is
a living being and therefore the object of God’s care.”
9. Church History
•Tertullian (155-240) said, “It does not matter whether
you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is
coming to birth. In both instances, destruction is
murder.”
•Basil the Great (330-379) affirmed, “Those who give
abortifacients (drug to induce abortion) for the
destruction of a child conceived in the womb are
murderers themselves, along with those receiving the
poisons.”
10. Church History
•Jerome (347-420) called abortion,
“the murder of an unborn child.”
•Augustine (354-430) warned
against the terrible crime of “the
murder of an unborn child.”
(Jerome)
11. Church History
•The early church’s opposition to the practice
was so universal and so staunch that many
believe it was responsible for purging
abortion from the Roman Empire.
12. Scriptural Support that Life Begins
at Conception
•Jeremiah 1:5 = before we were born we were
known by God
•Isaiah 44:2 = God formed us in the womb
•Psalm 139:13-16 = God saw our unformed body,
knit us together in our mother’s womb
•Luke 1:41 = John the Baptist leaped in his
mother’s womb for Jesus.
15. Biblical Reasoning
•A pro-life position can be argued
in various ways: biological, legal,
logical, etc.
•But never automatically give up
the high ground of God’sWord
•Don’t be afraid to quote Bible
verses, or speak about humans
being “made in the image of
God,” or that abortion is “SIN”
16. Pro-Life BibleVerses
•Genesis 1:27 = all people are created in the image of God…
and are of infinite worth because of that
•Genesis 9:6 =Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall
his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.
•Exodus 20:13 = “You shall not murder” (Sixth
Commandment)
•Exodus 21:22-25 = the Bible considers life in the womb as
real as life outside the womb
17. Pro-Life BibleVerses
•Deuteronomy 27:25 = “Cursed is the man who
accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person”
•Proverbs 6:16-17 = “There are six things that
the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to
him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, AND HANDS
THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD…”
•Proverbs 24:11 = Rescue those who are being taken
away to death; hold back those who are stumbling
to the slaughter.
18. Pro-Life Bible
Verses
•Proverbs 31:8 = “Speak up for those who cannot speak
for themselves”
•Jeremiah 7:6 = “shed not innocent blood”
•Ezekiel 33:11 = “Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares
the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of
the wicked.”
• If God finds no pleasure in the death of the wicked, then what
do you think He finds in the death of the pre-born?
19. Pro-Life Bible Stories
•Exodus 1:8-22 =The Hebrew Midwives saving the lives
of the baby boys
•Matthew 2:16 = Herod calling for the death of all baby
boys
•Leviticus 18:21, Jeremiah 7:31, Ezekiel 16:21 = God
condemns the practice of child sacrifice
•“They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in
the fire as offerings to Baal--something I did not command or
mention, nor did it enter my mind!”
20. God is Active in the
Creation of
Human Beings
•Births to Sarah = Genesis 17:15-22
•Births to Leah and Rachel = Genesis 30:1-24
•Birth to Ruth = Ruth 4:13-17
•Birth to Hannah = 1 Samuel 1:19-20
•Birth to Elizabeth = Luke 1:24-25, 39-44
21. Jesus
•John 1:14 – “And theWord became
flesh and dwelt among us.”
•When did theWord (Jesus) become
human?
•It is basic Christian doctrine that
Christ became flesh at the moment
the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary,
at the moment of fertilization.
22. Jesus
•Jesus became human at the
same point as all other humans
– at conception.
•Scripture says that Mary “was
found to be with child through
the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18)
•“The baby (Jesus) leaped for
joy inside me.” (Luke 2:44)
23. Biblical Evidence for theValue of Every Person
(Jesus Died for ALL People)
• Isaiah 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has
laid on him the iniquity of us ALL.
• John 3:16 - For God so loved the WORLD, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• Romans 5:6 - For while we were still helpless, at the right
time, CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY.
24. Biblical Evidence for theValue of Every Person
(Jesus Died for ALL People)
• 1 Timothy 2:6 (a) – who gave Himself as a ransom for
ALL
• Hebrews 2:9 - But we do see Jesus, who was made
lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with
glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the
grace of God he might TASTE DEATH FOR EVERYONE.
• 1John 2:2 - He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for
ours only but also FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD
25. What the Bible Says
•Each individual has been personally created by God
(Malachi 2:10).
•All people, male and female, are created in the image
of God (Genesis 1:27; James 3:9).
•Personhood is never measured by external categories
(Exodus 4:11).
26. Biblical Reasoning
•Being biblical means relying on God’s words
rather than worldly tactics and strategies.
•Rather than playing a game of political football,
we proclaim God’s Word to the people and to
the political leaders.
27. Biblical Reasoning
•That means we don’t do things like “test the winds”
to see whether the people support moving from a
ban of abortion at 28 weeks to a ban at 24 weeks
at this particular moment in time.
•We simply proclaim the truth that abortion is
murder and that justice demands it be abolished
immediately!
• The duty to make such proclamations is ours, and
the results belong to God.
28. Biblical Reasoning
• This duty, as all moral obligations, is grounded in God’s revealed
Word.
• Proverbs 24 tells us to rescue those being led to slaughter.
• In Isaiah 10, God warns the Hebrew leaders, “Woe to those who
decree iniquitous decrees.”
• As for how to rescue those lead to slaughter, pro-life incrementalists
are content to compromise in an attempt to save some babies, but
these compromises are the definition of iniquitous decrees.
• They all allow for abortion as long as the baby is young enough.
29. Biblical Reasoning
• Romans 3:8 rebukes those who would
do evil that good may come, which is
literally the strategy of the pro-life
establishment.
• Abolitionists take God’s Word seriously
and never write laws which make the
fatherless prey and there’s no one
more fatherless than the child
conceived in rape.
30. Biblical Reasoning
•WHERE THEY CONFLICT, OBEY GOD RATHER
THAN MAN
•Among many other verses, Acts 5:29 teaches us
that when presented with the choice between
obeying God or obeying man, we obey God.
•So when the Supreme Court orders our state to
allow the mass murder of preborn children, we
boldly bring the Gospel into conflict with the court’s
rebellion against God.
31. God Hates the Shedding of
Innocent Blood
•Genesis 4:10
•Leviticus 20:1-5
•Deuteronomy 19:10
•2 Kings 24:2-4
•Psalm 72:12-14
•Proverbs 6:16-19
32. God Has a Special
Love for Children
• Matthew 18:10 = “See to it that you don’t despise one
of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven
their angels continually view the face of my Father in
heaven.”
• Luke 18:16 = “Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the
little children come to me, and don’t stop them,
because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
• Psalm 127:3 = “Children are indeed a heritage from
the LORD, offspring, a reward.”
• Matthew 18:14 = “In the same way, it is not the will of
your Father in heaven that one of these little ones
perish.”
33.
34. Do Humans HaveValue?
•Our value does not come from the government.
•Our value does not come in what we can do, or in
where we live.
•Our value comes from who we are!
•Every person is:
•Made in the image of God
•A soul that Jesus died for
•Has a life worth living
35.
36. SaveYourself For Marriage
•The vast majority of abortions
come from unmarried women
•There is a direct correlation
between sexual promiscuity
and abortion
•The culture that pushes for
people to have unmarried sex
also pushes for abortion
37. Abortion – Child Sacrifice
•Pagan cultures used to offer
a child sacrifice to receive a
blessing
•That is essentially the same
reason that most people
have abortions today – have
more money, ease of living,
more free time, etc.
38. Abortion –
Child Sacrifice
•“Say to the Israelites: Any
Israelite or alien residing in
Israel who gives any of his
children to Molech must be
put to death.” – Leviticus 20:2
•“Abortion is nothing less
than a blood sacrifice to
Satan.” – Adrian Rogers
39. Abortion – Child Sacrifice
•Psalm 106:37-38 =They sacrificed their sons
and daughters to demons.They shed
innocent blood — the blood of their sons and
daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols
of Canaan; so the land became polluted with
blood.
40.
41. “You should stop focusing on abortion…
aren’t there more important things for
Christians to be concerned with?”
•Christians are concerned with all sin – not least of which is the
murder of babies
•The reason Christians “focus” on abortion (and homosexuality)
is not because we randomly decided those would become
important topics, but because the culture around us embraces
it – not even as a neutral act – but a GOOD thing – an act of
female empowerment
•Isaiah 5:20 = “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.”
42. They Say, “KeepYour Beliefs in the Church.”
• Pro-Choicer: “By stating your Christian
worldview you are imposing your beliefs on
others.”
• Pro-Life Response: “By stating your
humanistic worldview aren’t you imposing
your beliefs on others?”
• Everybody has a worldview.
• Every law comes from a worldview.
• The question we should be asking is not,
whether we should have a worldview, but
rather –WHOSE WORLDVIEW WILL WE
HAVE?
45. Become an Abolitionist
•DO NOT COMPROMISE the truth of God for
political societal acceptance of being
accommodating to the other side.
•Every pre-born child deserves all of the rights as
an already born child.
•It is up to the followers of Jesus Christ to take a
stand for the truth.
46. Equal Justice
•Mother, father, abortionist, and all consenting parties should be
held guilty of murder of an innocent human being (not just the
woman and or abortionist)
•Lack of consistent consequences does prove that the unborn are
not human and that intentionally killing them is justified.
•God said to apply equal justice (Exodus 23:16)
•God said that partiality is injustice in judgment (Deuteronomy 1:17)
•God said that false balances are an abomination to Him (Proverbs
11:1)
47. Saying “I hate abortion”
fulfills your duty to the
preborn the same way
saying “be warmed and
filled”(James 2:16) fulfills your
duty to the cold and
hungry.
48.
49.
50. Adoption
•If a person is not willing or desirous to raise the
child then adoption is a great alternative
•Many families are wanting to adopt
•This unplanned child would be a great blessing to
his/her adoptive parents
51. What can you do?
•PRAY! (Lamentations 2:19)
•Financially support abolitionist causes
•Spiritually and materially aid the pregnant single
mothers in your neighborhood or church.
•Schedule a meeting with your state senators, state
representatives, state executives, city councils, and
any other magistrates to explain to them their duty
before God and Constitution to immediately abolish
abortion.
52. What CanYou Do?
•Share abolitionist ideas with your friends and family.
Share abolitionist articles, memes, and videos on social
media.
•And encourage your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ
to join you in all of that.
•That doesn’t mean there aren’t worthy abolitionist
projects that need financial support from Christians.
There are. But the Christian duty doesn’t end there.
53. What CanYou Do?
•The most loving thing we can do for a person
considering an abortion is offer them:
•A biblical and moral perspective
•The scientific facts
•Helpful alternative (adoption, resources such as those found
at pregnancy resource centers)
•LOVE and KINDNESS
54. What can you do?
•Share the Gospel!
•The Gospel not only brings about salvation, but also a
transformed life and mind!
•The Culture changes as the Gospel is embraced
55. Be A Difference Maker!
•Abraham Lincoln
•Dietrich Bonhoeffer
•WilliamWilberforce
•Rosa Parks
•Don’t just follow the
crowd. Lead the way!
56.
57. Be Bold For theTruth!
•Christians have a responsibility to take a stand against
abortion
•Proverbs 31:8 = “Speak up for those who cannot speak
for themselves”
•Genesis 1:27 = all people are created in the image of
God… and are of infinite worth because of that
58. •“Every abortion clinic
should have a sign in
front of it saying, “Open
by the permission of the
church.”
- Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984)
59. Why Get Involved at All if Many People
Will HateYou forYour Stance?
• Because God can use you to make a difference!
• Because Babies are being murdered in our county, state, and nation
every day.
• Because the right thing doesn’t mean people will always love you – in
fact oftentimes it is just the opposite (see nearly ever biblical character…
2Timothy 3:12)
• “If you displease Jesus it doesn’t really matter who you please. And if you
please Jesus it doesn’t really matter who you displease.” – Adrian Rogers
60. Translating theTruth
•Do you believe we should all be treated equally under
the law?
•We are all so different, but it seems there should be
something that is the same about us that demands we
should be treated equally.
•What is the same about all of us?
•It is currently legal to kill babies before they are born.
Doesn’t that violate their equal rights?
61. Psalm 82:3-4
“Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and
oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
63. InteractingWith
Pro-Choice People
•Arguing with a person accomplishes little to
nothing.
•Understand their questions / pain… sympathize with
them
•Ask Questions
•Do not compromise what the Bible says
•Show them the love of Christ
64. Which Side AreYou On?
•When it comes to the murder of
unborn children there are no
“neutral” positions!
•“Anyone who is not with Me is
against Me.” - Jesus
65. Get Out andVote
•NEVER Vote for any candidate who is for the
murder of unborn children.
•God judges our thoughts, words, and actions
(including who / what we vote for).
•Vote for the person who will stand up for unborn
children!
66. Democrat Party
•The following is a quote from the 2020
Democratic National Party Platform:
•"Democrats believe every woman should be
able to access high-quality reproductive health
care services, including safe and legal
ABORTIONS.”

•Choice42 – Facebook andYoutube,
www.choice42.com/
•Free the States – Facebook,Youtube,

•Abolish Human Abortion – Facebook,Youtube,
abolishhumanabortion.com/
68. Change that will last
•There are many useful arguments for bringing a pro-life
viewpoint to society: biological, legal, logical, and
“religious”
•But the most sure way of seeing people reject the killing of
unborn children (and any other sin) is by beginning a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
•When we are born-again God’s will becomes ours and we
become a new creation in Christ Jesus.
69. Change that will last
•We will still sin, but our knowledge of the truth
will be confirmed by the Holy Spirit’s work in our
heart.
•Because of that don’t make the end goal only to
be that people will reject abortion (although that
is very good), but that people would be changed
in their belief because of a relationship with King
Jesus
70. Abortion, the unforgiveable sin? NO!
•ALL people have sinned = Romans 3:23
•ALL sin, including abortion, finds forgiveness at the foot of
the Cross
• 1 John 1:9
• Psalm 103:12
•God does not want us to die in our sin, but to experience
eternal life, which only He can give = Romans 6:23
71. Repentance and Faith
•Abortion is a serious sin
•But Christ offers forgiveness for all our sins (including
abortion).
•What we must do is repent of our sin and put our faith in
Christ alone.
•The heartbeat ofGod is for every person to find a new
life in Jesus – having our sins forgiven and a new heart
put within us!
