Stand

Ashley Fuller, a board member from True Care Women’s Center showed a short film and gave a presentation before my message this past Sunday and it was really eye opening. I had struggled preparing my sermon all week long ….because honestly…I didn’t wanna preach about abortion. I just didn’t. And I knew Mr. Fuller was gonna be here….and that God was leading me to talk about it…but I just dreaded the thought of it…so my guts were in knots all week. I'm not sure why speaking about abortion unnerved me so much...maybe it's because I spent my whole life in the newspaper industry where absolute objectivity is supposed be the goal...or at least was...when I was a young man. And so on subjects like capital punishment or euthanasia or gay marriage or...abortion...I always sat right in the middle of the fence...and tried to see both sides of the issue without committing myself one way or the other. It's safer that way I guess. But God has shown me as a Christian...I can't do that anymore. I can't stay neutral. There is God's side and the world's side...and there's no middle ground. You're either for God...or against God. And so today...my message on abortion is not written through the eyes of a newspaper man...but through the eyes of God.
