I can tell you about the women that I looked into their eyes through tears telling me how they just begged just for that moment back.

00:08

They just wanted to go back to that moment and talk to themselves and to say, You don't need to kill your baby.

00:14

Don't kill your baby. It's going to destroy you. Because you see, you can't as a mother take the life of your own child and be unaffected by it.

00:22

You're made in the image of God. You're made in God's image. You can't escape the truth about who you are, about who we are.

00:32

You can't escape the truth about God's character and His standards. Mothers were not created to kill their own children.

00:41

Mothers were created to love their children, to nurture their children, to protect, care for their children.

00:49

And this is a mind -boggling thing we have in front of us today, ladies. You are women leading other women to kill their little women.

01:02

And yet you pretend, you pretend to care about women.

01:09

Again, I ask you, what about the lives of the little women today being destroyed inside? Do they count?

01:18

When they're being assaulted, do I get to use the hashtag? I'm with her.

01:25

I'm with her. Believe women. You see, all of this bluff and bluster of caring about women and women's rights and all these things, we don't believe you.

01:39

We don't believe you because by their fruit you shall know them. I can tell the truthfulness of your statements by what you do.

01:49

And when you tell me that you love women and you value human dignity and yet you stand outside here and you herald the glory of abortion and you guide mothers and fathers in here to destroy their own children,

02:03

I don't believe you. By their fruit you shall know them. You see, what I see is a fruit of death, corruption.

02:11

I see what your movement creates is death, not life. And what you see here today on this sidewalk is the difference between two worlds.

02:23

It's two entirely different worlds, two entirely different cultures. On the one side, the culture of death.

02:30

On the other side, the culture of life. I want you to pay attention to the fruit of what's taking place before here.

02:38

One side is heralding the glories of death. One side is heralding the glory of life.

02:45

One life is saying justice, goodness, dignity, value for human beings.

02:52

And one side says, kill the babies. Kill the children.

02:59

One side is a culture of mothers and fathers, children. I mean, just think about what this testifies right now.

03:07

Look on the sidewalk, look at all the children out here. Look at these little children understanding the most basic, fundamental aspect of the character of God.

03:19

Little children holding up signs that say this, You shall not murder.

03:27

It shouldn't take a seven -year -old to hold up a sign to grown image bearers of God to remind you that you ought to preserve life.

03:38

That you shall not murder. It's fundamental. Now I want you to consider the result of your world view.

03:46

The result of your world view is you stand outside here leading women to kill their own children, protecting them, offering them solace and peace, and you ignore the most fundamental aspects of what it means to be human.

04:03

You're made in the image of God and it's inescapable. I know my words are getting through to you right now.

04:09

It's not that they're not getting through, it's that there's hard hearts. You see, this isn't an issue of just liberal versus Republican and conservative and those sorts of things.

04:23

This is a much deeper issue. It's an issue of rebellion. It's not about evidence and light, like do we know that it's a child, really a human being?

04:32

Do we know that for sure? You know, what's the biology, what's the science behind it?

04:37

You should know that abortionists today, people who celebrate abortion, don't like to have that argument any longer.

04:44

They just say what it is. They say yes, it's a human being, but mothers should have the right to murder their children.

04:50

This isn't an issue of evidence and light and argumentation. Is it really a child? I don't really know.

04:56

Let's try to figure it out. Is it a blob of tissue? Is it just a mass? This isn't that kind of debate any longer.

05:04

All of the biological science testifies to one thing. It's human being from conception.

05:11

So this is really a much deeper question. It's a question about your world view.

05:18

It's a question about your relationship to your creator. And this is the problem fundamentally today.

05:26

Is that there is a suppression of truth going on. God's Word says that the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness, listen, suppress the truth.

05:43

For that which is known about God is evident within them, for God has shown it to them. You know what that's saying?

05:49

It's saying that the problem in humanity is a suppression of truth, holding the truth down.

05:54

The problem in humanity is that people know the true God but they don't want

06:01

Him. They don't want God in their knowledge. They profess to be wise and they become fools.

06:10

You know, it's interesting, if you want to think about how does that Word from God flesh itself out?

06:17

What would it look like for people to profess to be wise and then actually become fools? And what

06:23

I would say is there really truly is no better indication of the truthfulness of that passage than what takes place right here in this moment.

06:30

You profess to be wise. You profess to know, to understand, to have wisdom.

06:38

But you become a fool. A fool. You have an indefensible position.

06:46

And yet you spend your Saturday morning outside of a location that is killing little boys and girls.

06:52

And you're protecting it. You're standing for the murder of children.

06:59

God's Word says that a result of the fall is that we exchange the truth of God for a lie.

07:06

We don't want God. We don't want His truth. We don't want His justice, His standards. So we switch it for a lie.

07:13

And we switch God for idols. And God's Word says that a result of the fall is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

07:24

So here is the thing that needs to be heard. Please, I beg of you to hear this. When we're standing out here today proclaiming to you the foolishness of your position, and we're condemning what you're doing because you are destroying little children, we want you to hear from us that we're in this with you in terms of we're all fallen short of the glory of God outside of Christ.

07:47

We're all guilty. We're coming to you as people who have been redeemed. Our eyes have been opened.

07:53

Our hearts have been changed. Jesus died for sinners. He's changed us and saved us.

07:59

We're coming to you as transformed people who have received God's love and His grace, and we're pleading that grace out to you and that love out to you.

08:08

But you still have to hear it. You have to hear about your need.

08:13

The Bible says that there's none who does good, none righteous, none who seeks for God.

08:20

Man, is that incredible. Here I am reading from a text written about 2 ,000 years ago that absolutely testifies to what's going on right now, right in front of us.

08:35

None who does good, none who seeks for God. Their throats are open graves.

08:42

There is no fear of God before their eyes. Their feet are swift to shed blood.

08:48

Their feet are swift to shed blood. You may reject God in this moment, ladies, but you have to hear that.

08:58

You have to hear the words from God that absolutely testify to what's happening in front of you right now.

09:07

You're standing outside of a location that is killing little boys and little girls.
