Abortion is an important topic for many Christians. The problem for too many is that’s where it stays: as a topic. But this is a matter of life and death. The Bible doesn’t give a third option when it comes to things like this.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
Deuteronomy 30:19
An innocent baby doesn’t have the ability to choose life. We as Christians have to choose it for them. We’ve got to speak up for those who don’t have a voice. If we don’t, who will? This is probably the biggest issue we’re facing in America, and that’s why I’ve put so much effort into standing for righteousness on this issue.
This year marks the forty-seventh anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which resulted in the legalisation of abortion in America. Since then, it’s estimated that in the US alone, over sixty million babies have been aborted. That’s not including New York and California not having to report all their abortions. This is absolutely horrible. If it’s ever going to change, it isn’t going to be because of progressives and the ungodly. No, they’re pushing for more and more ungodliness. They’re inventing ways to kill even newborns. That just goes to show that it never was about women’s rights, or whether an unborn child is a human. Scripture settled the issue of when human life begins long ago.
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jeremiah 1:5
Right here it says that before Jeremiah was ever birthed, God had called and ordained him. The idea that a child, as long as he or she is in the womb, is just a hunk of flesh and not a real person is a lie. God - the creator of all life - put in His Word that human life starts long before a person is even born. The Apostle Paul said that he was separated unto the grace of God from his mother’s womb (Gal. 1:15). You can also see that Elizabeth, when she was pregnant with John the Baptist, said, “The babe leaped in my womb for joy” (Luke 1:44). The angel Gabriel told John’s father that his son would be filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother’s womb (Luke 1:15). God doesn’t fill a hunk of tissue; only a person can be filled with the Holy Spirit! I tell you, we have had a lie go forth about what constitutes human life. Because of it, millions - possibly billions of children - have been murdered in the womb, which should be the safest and most sacred place on this planet. We must take a stand. I’m speaking the truth out of love (Eph. 4:15).
I know people who have been affected by every aspect of abortion. It’s another lie when you’re told there’s nothing to it, that it’s just a simple procedure. Besides the baby's death, I hear reports of even maternal death linked to abortions. Nobody wins with this “procedure.” Well, the devil does.
You see, the world will tell you that abortion is a personal affair, divorced from spiritual things. But that’s not true. The devil hates all life, and he’s propagating his agenda through the world’s system, trying to disguise it as something else. This is more than just an important topic. This is a battle for life! We must wake up and choose life.
I was convicted about this years ago and decided I was going to start a pregnancy centre. When I was in the process of getting a 501(c)3, I found out that there already was a centre in Colorado Springs - it just hadn’t been publicised. I went and found the woman who ran this pregnancy centre to see if I could help get the word out. I rented a spot at the mall where I played The Silent Scream film for two weeks. I also passed out cards promoting the pregnancy centre, and in a year’s time, it went from having three contacts to well over a hundred a month! We even had a front page ad in The Gazette Telegraph in Colorado Springs announcing that because of the pregnancy center, the abortion rate in El Paso County was cut in half, and in the state of Colorado, it went down by one-third! This is what can happen when we get involved!
You might say, “What can I do?” First, you can pray about it. God will show you something to do. He’ll probably have you start with your circle of influence, people you can touch. You have the truth. When you hear people talking about things that are counter to the Word, tell them the truth. It’s the truth that’s going to set them free (John 8:32).
During my Gospel Truth television program in January, I will devote five programs to Roe v. Wade 20/01/20 - 24/01/20. I’ll be conducting interviews with women whose lives have been profoundly affected by abortion. Their testimonies will be packaged on a USB with other interviews I have previously done with women who have been similarly impacted and are now some of
our greatest advocates for the lives of the unborn. The USB, Choose Life: Interviews & Testimonies, will come with my booklet Observing All Things. The booklet is a discipleship tool covering important social and civil issues in society (creation, abortion, and homosexuality). Please get these materials today. They’re bound to help you take a stand for truth in our culture!
