What is abortion at the bottom? What is it? God says it's murder.

00:09

Because he is the creator of all life. Where we derive our dignity, our value, our worth from is from him, his character, and him alone.

00:19

You see, that's not something that any other worldview can support. Like atheism, for example. There is no value or dignity in a world where all of us are just cosmic accidents.

00:28

That doesn't exist. You must leap into the Christian worldview, stand on the shoulders of Christians, steal their terminology like justice, like love, like protecting the oppressed and the innocent.

00:49

And you must prostitute those words, infuse them with new meaning, and then use them to accomplish your politically minded agenda in which you seek to enforce your rule by the power of men and consensus in the state, rather than the rule and law word of the living and true

01:12

God. Unfortunately, that's the nation that we live in now.

01:20

And that's what's been fed to us in our universities, in the media, in culture, in movies, in art, music, all of these things.

01:31

It's just been fed to us. That this is the way things are. That human beings are not so valuable.

01:37

Their bodies actually don't mean so much. You see, it's actually the immaterial. It's the consciousness that's actually valuable.

01:44

That's why you have women today that can say things like this, silly things like this. Yes, it's a human being in the womb, but it's not a person.

01:54

You see, when you do that, you end up driving a wedge and creating hostility between what it means to be a human being and being made in the image of God is that you're not just the sum of your consciousness.

02:08

You are, in fact, a body as well. God made our bodies.

02:14

He calls them good. They're intrinsic to what it means to be a human being.

02:20

And so when Planned Parenthood takes money from you to tear a little body apart in your womb and suck them out with a vacuum aspirator, they are engaging in murder.

02:32

And if you are supporting them, you are guilty of that as well. That same sentence falls upon you.

02:40

And that is my heart for you. My heart for you is because of that truth. Please, friends, don't go into this place today.

02:51

Please don't. They murder children at this location every week. They poison them chemically.

02:58

They tear them apart in the womb. I will help you out on the sidewalk. There are people out here right now that are calling on you to be men today.

03:10

God says in his word, act like men, be strong, be courageous. That's his call to you today, men, not to be cowards, not to sit by idly, passing the time.

03:23

Meanwhile, there's someone in there carrying a child. Maybe it's your child. Maybe it's your little baby boy or baby girl.

03:32

And they're about to pay an assassin to destroy them. You have no idea what that will do to this woman and to you.

03:45

I don't want to believe that you could be so callous or careless. But unfortunately, the reality outside of a place like this is many a cowardly young boy has gotten a girl pregnant.

03:59

And then they think what it means to be a man is paying the bill for the abortion.

04:05

That's what they think it means, being a man, taking care of my responsibility. No, your responsibility would be protecting this child, raising this child, caring for this child, providing for him and his mother.

04:19

You can't get out from under the vantage point of God. You can't hide from his eye. He sees you, men.

04:26

Nothing you do is hidden from him. Everything is laid bare and naked before him whom we must all give an account to.

04:33

That's what the word of God says. And so, friends, I want you to hear this today.

04:40

I want you to hear the word of the Lord and understand that where we find ourselves in this nation is not unique. It's not a unique situation.

04:47

It has happened many times before in history. Man in his sinfulness, man in his wanting to play

04:55

God and decide who lives and who dies has practiced this very thing.

05:00

It has come in many forms and it has always come at the hands of a centralized state that wants to claim the role of divinity for itself.

05:16

So here is what I want to share with you today. The book of Exodus chapter one.

05:23

Hear the word of the Lord. Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know

05:30

Joseph. And he said to his people, Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us.

05:37

Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply. And if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.

05:47

Therefore, they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities,

05:54

Pithom and Ramses. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad.

06:00

And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick and in all kinds of work in the fields.

06:15

In all their work, they ruthlessly made them work as slaves. You know, it's interesting to me that abortion supporters will use the argument, my body, my choice, because that kind of argumentation was also used at the hands of those who own slaves.

06:35

They said my property, my choice. I know it looks like a human being, but it's on my property.

06:44

Therefore, I get to do what I want with its body. That is the abortion position.

06:53

And as you see, in the history of the world, slavery is nothing new. It is used by corrupt and tyrannical governments to oppress those who are multiplying, specifically the people of God.

07:10

Many times, it is how those who are hostile to Christianity seek to destroy the faith.

07:19

But there's more. Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named

07:26

Shifron, the other Puah. When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him.

07:39

But if it is a daughter, she shall live. But the midwives feared

07:44

God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.

07:51

You see, what Pharaoh was doing was infanticide, trying to destroy the firstborn children of the

08:05

Israelites. And so you see the parallel. But my call to you today is although you sit outside of a place right now, or moms, you sit inside this place waiting to destroy your own baby boy or baby girl,

08:20

I pray that you would have the courage of these Israelite midwives who defied the king of the land, who defied what the norm was, what the surrounding culture at the time said should happen, ought to happen, the death of these children lest they grow too numerous and outnumber us.

08:44

God calls on you today. This is the word of the living God to emulate their example, to preserve their lives, to say no to those who would seek to tear them apart and destroy them and destroy your life, destroy your family.

09:06

It is up to you today to protect this child. I am only a voice out here on this wall pleading with you, pleading with you not to kill your baby, but you have a commandment of God.

09:21

And furthermore, God explicating on how he feels about this, just so you know, just in case you have deceived yourselves and have bought this party line about healthcare or women's rights, this lie.

09:35

God says he hates the hands that shed innocent blood. That's how he feels about it.

09:41

He's not down with it. He won't just turn a blind eye to your sin.

09:47

He won't look the other way while you go this way and say, he didn't see me. Now I'm going to go on about my life.

09:53

He'll just forgive me. The Bible says that if we go on sinning willfully after receiving a knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice that will cover our sins, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and a fire that will consume the adversaries.

10:17

That is what is in store for all those that disregard the word of the Lord, who don't know the

10:24

King. And so my hope today is this. You've heard the word of the

10:29

Lord. You've heard what God commands of you today to protect your child, to not give a bribe to those that shed innocent blood.

10:38

This organization murders a thousand children a day. 40 children in Arizona die every day at the hands of places just like this one.

10:50

And no one bats an eye. It is a holocaust happening right under our noses.

11:00

And friends, here is your only hope today. Here's your only hope.

11:07

You have to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. You have to hear that God does forgive, but he forgives when sinners are brought to repentance.

11:21

What would repentance look like for you today? It would look like getting up right now and leaving that place, turning away and coming out and letting us help you today.

11:32

Coming to God in flesh, who lived righteously, died for sinners and rose again from the dead.

11:39

The one who is King, the one who is God in the flesh, the one who brought his kingdom on time and as planned, the one who is not thwarted by the purposes of man, the one who is not surprised at the circumstances in which you face right now.

11:54

He is the one that you have sinned against. He is the one that I have sinned against. And here is his call.

12:00

He lived righteously, the life that you and I have failed to live. He died on that cross and he rose again from the grave, forever defeating sin and death.

12:09

That's the good news, is that he reverses the curse that is put on us in sin.

12:15

He removes that wrath and that destructive nature of sin in our lives, causes us to be born again, adopts us into his family, brings us into the people of God, sets us apart for his glory, causes us to be made holy by the power of his

12:35

Spirit that he gives us. He teaches us what it means to be truly men and women.

12:42

He shows us how to be mothers and fathers, because he's the standard of all of this.

12:49

He's the one I proclaim to you today, but the call is this. You have to turn from your sin.

12:55

You have to repent. You have to have a change of mind, the Bible says. You have to leave where you are and come to where Jesus is.

13:09

And you will have the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins, salvation, peace with God, reconciliation with your maker.

13:19

That's my hope for you today. That's my message for you today, is that you hear this word and that you believe and that you turn from this place of death that seeks to destroy your baby.

13:35

That you come to God in flesh where there is life, where there is peace, where there is forgiveness. Please don't deceive yourself today.

13:45

Do not deceive yourself into claiming that you know God and support a place like this.
