To the Church

Some Christian women walk silently into their abortions, having confessed to no one the decision they've made to end the lives of their babies. 

At the same time, others, wearing crosses and Christian teeshirts, are "shouting" their abortions and defying pleas from concerned advocates stationed just outside the abortion facilities, who are offering help & seeking to defend the lives of these little ones in the womb. (This may sound hard to believe, but, sadly, we've yielded control of the culture to common secular morals rather than the righteous statutes of God; therefore, these situations are very common today.)

We, as the body of Christ, are failing to reach moms & dads before their hands are stained with the blood of their own offspring. As our Lord Jesus commanded His followers, "...go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

To obey is better than sacrifice. And yes, when we are obedient to Jesus, we will interfere with child sacrifice. 

As the messengers of God go out today to make disciples, we stop too soon after a profession of faith & maybe even a church membership. Believers are to be taught by word and by example what it is to obey His commands. "Love one another" and "do not murder" go hand in hand. We are responsible for this message.

As the body of Christ, we are accountable to Him who is always with us regarding the administration of truth, justice, righteousness & mercy in our culture. He is glorified in this effort. 

The Church must be about the Father's business. God hates the shedding of innocent blood. God's people must lead in repentance, truth, and action. 

What Can the Church Do?

This is not an exhaustive list...

PRAY AND REPENT:

• From the pulpit, tell His flock what the Bible says about the shedding of innocent blood, murder & sexual sins. Do this regularly - not just once a year.
• Let the fact that people are created in God's image be impressed upon your own mind, as well as evident in your teaching.
• Regularly lead your congregation in prayers of repentance for this national sin, and ask God for power to intervene on behalf of these lives He created for His own purpose & glory.

LEARN:

• About abortion methods & fetal development.
• Become familiar with the reasons women give for abortion and in countering these excuses with biblical refutations.
• Understand the contrary effects of incremental measures to supposedly limit abortion, and educate others on the need for complete eradication of abortion based on the Word of God.

START:

• A church group to go to local abortion facilities & intervene on behalf of the preborn image-bearers of God. Hold these little humans back from being slaughtered. Prayer & singing on premises, signs & literature, even offers of help can be used of the Lord to save lives and intervene on behalf of the Gospel for the lost.
• Share your church's position on abortion on your website.
• Use Social Media to raise awareness on the horrors of abortion and the need for it to stop now. (Many young adults and teens don’t even know what the discussion is about!)

SPEAK UP:

• Call for the repentance of abortion & sexual sins from the pulpit.
• Educate church members in small groups, men's & women's groups, even teen groups - there is an abundance of material available regarding the Christian viewpoint on abortion & sexual purity.
• Encourage members to let their local, state and federal representatives know they are liable before God to take a stand against the murder of innocents who are being deprived of their rights & due process as human beings. 
• Do the same yourself, as a private citizen.
• There is information on this site that can help get you started.
• Let us march on, then....
