One of the greatest tragedies facing our world today is the horror of abortion. This topic alone divides people not only politically, but it is a topic that divides the church as well. As a church, we must look to the Word of God to determine what the Lord has to say about this blight on our society.
Sadly, many of us have been discipled by the world instead of the Word of God. The result is that, many churches during the Holocaust who sang louder to drown out the cries of the Jews carried by their churches on their way to the Nazi death camps, so the church today has grown complacent when it comes to the topic of abortion.
Some of the lies we will consider in today's lesson are:
- The church should not speak on political issues.
- It is not the job of the government to interfere in the choice a woman makes regarding her body
- We can't legislate morality
- The church should not be involved in anything political.
Finally, we begin to look at three big lies regarding abortion, covering the first two today.
- That which is conceived in the mother's womb is not a baby
- The rights extended to a child outside the womb do not extend to a child in the womb
We thank you for listening to today's teaching. We know this is a difficult topic for the church in today's world. We therefore pray, that as a body of believers, we will all turn to the Word of God to determine the proper perspective on this topic.
