There is no such thing as a heartbeat in six weeks. It is a manufactured sample designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body.

00:12

Hearing that heartbeat, how many of you, when that came on, thought about Stacey Abrams, right?

00:19

Running for governor of Georgia, who's arguing that that's manufactured in order to deceive women?

00:30

She's running for governor of Georgia, and she argued that what we heard just now is something that's been manufactured in order to deceive women.

00:44

I mean, that's how far people will go. That's how deeply ingrained this is.

00:52

And so, what happened with Roe is that we had federally sanctioned child murder everywhere in this country.

01:06

And now, we only have state -sanctioned child murder in fewer and fewer places in this country.

01:15

And our desire is to have that in fewer and fewer places still until there are no places where we have state -sanctioned child murder.

01:27

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, who's basically put his flag in the ground and said,

01:34

Listen, California's going to be an abortion destination state. We'll help you get here.

01:43

We'll help you get here. Rolling blackouts because we, you know, can't manage our electric grid, but we'll help you get here if you want to terminate your pregnancy.

01:56

Here's what's interesting. We've heard for a generation now, separation of church and state, separation of church and state.

02:06

And what Christians have done for a generation now is we've tried to make political arguments that don't rely on the

02:14

Bible. I know this because I get this all the time, right? On the abortion issue, it was, you know, how do we make an argument that doesn't rely on the

02:28

Bible? Because we've got to run away from the scriptures. On the same -sex marriage issue, how do we make an argument against same -sex marriage that doesn't rely on the

02:38

Bible? You see, because they don't believe in the Bible, and so when we come, we have to come without our

02:44

Bible because they don't believe in our Bible. And so for a generation now, we've been trying to do battle in the public square in the name of Christ, the

02:56

Word of God, without the Word of God. We've become ashamed of the

03:03

Word of God. We've become ashamed to say this would be good law and this would be good policy because this is what

03:09

God says. We're ashamed of that. Gavin Newsom's not.

03:19

He proudly put a Bible verse on an ad campaign saying if they won't let you kill your babies there, come kill your babies here.

03:40

He'll say that in the name of the Lord. But we're ashamed to say marriage is between a man and a woman in the name of the

03:50

Lord. Or we're ashamed to say, no, actually, a woman is an adult female human.

04:06

Amen? Two sexes, two genders, just two. Just two, that's all.

04:13

No more than that, just two. We won't say that.

04:22

And then this last piece. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

04:38

What, what, boy, what a fitting description. What a fitting description of what this ministry is all about.

04:50

I broke the fangs of the unrighteousness and made him drop his prey from his teeth. The great devourer of the unborn.

05:06

This is who Job was. And by the way, this is who

05:13

Job still is. Amen? He hasn't stopped being this.

05:19

He's being tested. He's being tried. But he hasn't stopped being this. Mainly because this is not about him.

05:31

But it's about his relationship with his God. Because ultimately at the end of the day, that's who we've heard a description of.

05:45

Who does this sound like if not our God? Who does this sound like if not

05:51

Christ? It's interesting. I'll just give you, you know, one example.

06:02

A lot of people right now are having a really hard time with this whole overturn of Roe v.

06:11

Wade thing. And part of the reason they're having a hard time is because, again, not you, not me.

06:19

I hope not you. I hope not me. I hope we have like no difficulty whatsoever rejoicing in what

06:26

God has done. Amen? But there are people who have a hard time rejoicing in what God has done. And what they're having to do is they're having to temper that rejoicing, you know.

06:36

Now, this was good, but let's be careful. Let's not be too happy. So Chelsea, so many

06:42

Christians look to a passage of Scripture which says you were knit in your mother's womb.

06:48

And they stand on that and say abortion is wrong. How can a

06:54

Christian or somebody who identifies and lives their life by Biblical text simultaneously read that passage, but still empathize with women that are hurting or that have hurt?

07:08

I have so much empathy and understanding for followers of Jesus who would say, I believe that life begins at conception.

07:15

And I believe that stopping an abortion is saving a life. That's a very, saving a life is a very valid cause.

07:27

But that's not the only life that we're called to save if you're pro -life. Wow. There's a lot of life.

07:34

What? What? And there are a number of reasons for that.

07:42

But for some people, for some people, they don't want to rejoice right now because they don't want to give the orange man credit.

07:54

Come on now. Tell the truth and shame the devil, right? They don't want to give the orange man credit.

08:00

So what they're doing is they're backing up and they're saying, you know, everybody who voted for, you know,

08:07

Donald Trump is a racist, white supremacist. And I can't believe that, you know, you did that.

08:14

And you would have, you know, evangelicals would have voted for that man. And in spite of, you know, how horrible and terrible he was, because, you know,

08:22

Hillary was. Yeah. Anyway, but. And they've been saying that they've been saying that since 2016.

08:33

And what did most people say? Most evangelicals didn't say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

08:40

He's wonderful. He's perfect. He's. But no, most people said, you know what?

08:46

There's some appointments coming up that are incredibly important. And they were.

08:56

There were three seats. Three seats.

09:07

And praise God for his providence. But not even that. You got to back up even further.

09:15

Because there's this guy by the name of Ted Cruz, this senator from Texas. This senator from Texas that, you know, he was the guy.

09:29

He was the other guy. And at the end, you know, at the end of the primaries, it was Cruz and Trump and Trump and Cruz.

09:35

And, you know, media flips and Trump gets all the media coverage.

09:41

There's no way that Cruz can keep up with free media coverage. Right. And Cruz eventually drops out of the race.

09:52

Here's a lot people don't know, though. Cruz wasn't going to endorse Donald Trump.

09:59

And the powers that be in the Republican Party come to Ted Cruz. Because, again, when we get to the convention, we need to unite everybody.

10:09

And Senator Cruz, you need to endorse Trump. Cruz says with a condition.

10:19

I get to give him a list. And he agrees to only pick

10:24

Supreme Court justices from the list that I give him. Trump agreed.

10:34

Cruz endorsed. And those three justices came from Cruz's list.

10:49

Again, God didn't use just one single thing to bring this about.

10:54

And I say all this to say, oftentimes, you know, in the pro -life movement, we can have a tendency to have this attitude that says whatever it is that I feel like I'm called to do in this movement is the thing that everybody needs to do in this movement.

11:15

No. No, it's not. You need to wear the righteousness of Christ.

11:28

And you need to wear it as you. And you need to apply it as you.

11:35

And play whatever part or whatever role God in his providence and by his grace allows you to play.

11:45

And be faithful. And if you're a finger, don't look at the toe and judge the toe for not being a finger.

11:59

Just thank the toe for helping you get to where you need to go so you can point. Amen. And then we all rejoice together.

12:14

We all rejoice together. Because of God's goodness. And then upon our rejoicing.

12:24

We turn and we fight the next fight. Because guess what? We break the fangs of the unrighteousness and we make him drop his prey from his teeth.

12:37

And just when we get our hands up to shake our fist in victory, we realize that there's more teeth, more fangs, and more jaw -breaking to do.
