Fight for Life Event 9-18-21

Oh, come behold the works of God, the nations at his feet.

Father, our aim here is to end abortion. That's why we stand out here.

And Father, we don't trust in the arm of the flesh, but our trust is in the power of the gospel.

Our trust is in a sovereign God who rules and reigns over all things and can do all things.

You are a God that takes ground for Christ's sake. And we ask that our efforts here will be of that very means.

We love you and we thank you in Christ's name. Amen. He has called us to do this, to rescue those that are being led to the slaughter.

Rescue those that are being led to the slaughter. When we think of abortion, abortion is not merely a political problem.

Abortion is not even just ideological differences between one person and another.

Abortion is a matter of life and death. The reason why we know

Planned Parenthood and abortion will be no more is because the Bible says Jesus wins. Amen. Lives were changed because the church showed up and did what

God told them to do. Father God, anything that's contributing towards this, wicked practice,

Lord. We pray against those things. Our prayer, our desire with Love Life is to normalize the presence of the church outside of the darkest places in our city.

And the only places we know exactly where and when babies are scheduled to be killed.

So that's where we are right now. And this is what we want to see normalized throughout the nation.

Paul goes on as he's writing to Titus and he says this. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great

God and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christian stands in a place recognizing something. This is not our home.

This is not where we're going to rest. We are looking forward to that blessed hope when

Jesus Christ comes back. And as Pastor Chris and Pastor Mike had already mentioned, we want his kingdom to come here.

His kingdom to come will be done as we look forward to the Lord Jesus Christ.

It means as we're being hated, we ought to approach men with gentleness and respect.

As we are doing about our good deeds, we need to be careful. We need to be careful that we don't deny the very truth that we're talking about.

We need to be careful that we are not showing forth a spirit of hatred, but of brokenness and compassion and a motivation that's driven by the love of God and the love of our neighbor.

That we, our hearts break recognizing that there are human beings being slaughtered in this building and all around this country.

And so what are we doing? We're moved with compassion. Level of development, environment, and the degree of dependency do not disqualify the fetus from being a person.
