Hey guys, I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin, this is Pastor Luke, and Zachary Conover, Director of Communications for EndAbortionNow .com.

00:08

We are outside today of Planned Parenthood in Tempe, and if you were behind us right now, you could see the death squirts, people in pink vests who are here to support mothers and fathers to come inside Planned Parenthood to kill their children.

00:22

And behind us you could see, how many people? 40, 50.

00:28

Maybe about 50 members of Apologia Church who are out here to be light in the community, to testify as to what's going on out here, to preach the gospel.

00:37

I love the fact that you have all these adults and babies and children. We can't get our kids to stop harassing us about wanting to get on the microphone to call out into Planned Parenthood, so it's an awesome, awesome moment for us.

00:50

But I wanted to point everybody to the fact that God commands us to stand for those who are being led to the slaughter, to hold them back, to protect them.

00:59

It's actually a command in scripture for the people of God to protect people who are threatened with death. So this kind of ministry isn't, in reality, an optional ministry for believers.

01:10

It's commanded of us. It doesn't mean, of course, all of us are called necessarily to stand here to preach on the microphone, but all of us are called to participate in this ministry to preserve the lives of our pre -born neighbors.

01:22

That's a command from God. That's an issue of justice. It's an issue of loving our neighbor. So that's what we're doing out here today.

01:27

This is the annual day where all of Apologia Church comes out to be light, to preach the gospel, to stand for the lives of these children.

01:36

However, Apologia Church is out on a regular basis standing outside the local mills trying to save lives, trying to offer help to mothers and fathers, and trying to preach the gospel.

01:46

We also have EndAbortionNow .com where we have created a site with free training and free resources for local churches to get involved in the same work that we are right now.

01:57

Right now we have almost 300 churches across the country are participating with us who've received the training and the resources and have been saving lives.

02:06

So I hand it over to you, Zach, what do you want to say about EndAbortionNow? No, I'm just grateful to God for the traction and churches all over the country and internationally are now rising up to engage this evil.

02:18

So it's encouraging to see Christians genuinely care about their unborn neighbor and finally the church,

02:25

I believe, is catching wind of this in a meaningful and significant way as to put boots on the ground, to take action, to be going to these places, being a witness out here.

02:35

And that's really what this is all about today. Aside from the normal work that we're doing out here on a regular basis, this specific day is dedicated to awareness of the surrounding community.

02:46

And if you're in Arizona right now and you're a Christian, this is going on in your state at the tune of almost 40 children a day.

02:54

It's happening in our own backyards, at the same place we shop, at the same place we eat.

03:00

Babies are being murdered here. So I would really encourage the Arizona residents. Arizona has a law, currently it's never been changed, it's against the law to murder children in Arizona by abortion.

03:12

So I want to encourage you, you are not engaging in lawlessness as a Christian by engaging in this kind of witness, by doing this kind of thing, you're being the lawful one.

03:23

If you think about the history of how our nation was founded, you have men that were declaring injustice and oppression against those who were over them and they considered it their duty given to them by God to resist and to obey.

03:39

So there is an avenue for righteous resistance and righteous disobedience, because it's not disobedience at all, it's obedience to the law of God, to the standards, to the commandments of scripture.

03:52

That's why Apologia Church is committed to this ministry locally and why so many other churches are doing it internationally now and nationally and it's just humbling to be a part of, to be encouraging them, sending them resources, talking with them on the phone, corresponding with them, so I'm grateful to God for it.

04:11

And I think the key thing to focus in upon when we talk about this broad vision of the church going out into the culture to preach the gospel and to save lives, it's important for you to take note of the fact that there are children alive today, alive, thousands alive today because of this ministry and so just consider that.

04:33

This is real, important, meaningful ministry that has lasting impact.

04:39

We're talking about children alive today, thousands, because believers just like you got connected with End Abortion Now, got the free training, got the free resources and are now out saving lives.

04:52

So I'm going to encourage you to go to endabortionnow .com and get connected. Pastor Luke? Yeah, I just wanted to point out something we were just talking about that we observed this morning and that's part of the cultural

05:04

Marxist game plan, if you will, is to attack the family. They want to destroy the family.

05:10

They want to destroy fatherhood and diminish the role of fathers.

05:16

And we were just observing that, I don't know if you can see in the camera or not, but the only men that come out to support

05:24

Planned Parenthood are malachoic. They're effeminate. They're homosexual. They're not fathers.

05:29

They're not, they don't have a family. And the fathers that you see that are loving and caring and have children and are wise are out here with us, with their children, trying to save children.

05:42

And so it's just an interesting, just an interesting conversation. Yeah. Good picture. Yeah. They clearly don't like children.

05:49

They're there to murder them, right? And so it's just an observation we were making this morning,

05:54

I just wanted to point that out. Oh, this Malachi guy, Malachoy guy here with his pink mohawk. There you go.

06:00

There's an example. We love him for Jesus' sake, but certainly Malachoy. And that's a fantastic point,

06:05

I think, is just paying attention to the two perspectives. On the one side over here is people wearing pink vests, calling women to come in to kill their children, death to children, death to the innocent.

06:16

And on this side over here, it's compelling. You've got mothers and fathers and babies and small children and teenagers all on this side.

06:24

It's two opposing perspectives, death on this side, the family and children on this side.

06:31

That should testify to something. And I wanted to say the obvious, which culture will last?

06:36

That's my question. Logically speaking, is it the Malachoy men, the men who are not fathers, the women who are not being mothers, they're turning away from their responsibilities as mothers?

06:48

Which culture will survive and thrive? Well, it's obvious logically, but I'll just say this one thing.

06:54

I know it's a tangent, but it needs to be said. We recognize that obviously this culture can't stand. They're killing themselves.

06:59

They're not having children. This culture will stand, mothers and fathers, babies and children. But how come we find ourselves in the predicament we are?

07:08

I would say Christian families, Christian mothers and fathers are giving their children over to the unbelievers to educate disciples.

07:16

So let's stop doing that. Good. All right. So endabortionnow .com.
