****************************
After suffering his second heart attack in 1984 my Dad under went by-pass surgery in an effort to save his life. It was major surgery, very invasive. His chest was cut wide open, so the surgeon could do what was necessary to save his failing heart.
Sometimes major surgery is necessary to save the life of the patient. It was an uncomfortable and difficult procedure for my Dad to undergo but it was the only option available to keep my Dad alive.
In the same way some subjects like abortion are difficult, perhaps even painful and uncomfortable to think about. But like major surgery is sometimes necessary to save the life of a heart attack victim so the truth about abortion, as uncomfortable, even painful as it might be, is necessary to save the lives of unborn children at risk of being aborted and is necessary for those whose lives have been touched by abortion to receive forgiveness, healing and restoration.
Statistics tell me that in most audiences I speak to there will be individuals whose lives have been touched by abortion. I want you to know that I am aware of that. Perhaps you have had an abortion, or in some way were a participant in an abortion. Or you have lost a child, a brother or sister, grandchild, niece or nephew to abortion.
As followers of Jesus Christ we must be willing to address this subject from the authority of Scripture. But, do so in the context of two very important Biblical truths.
Let me illustrate it this way. There are two things a train must have to safely arrive at its destination. Two tracks. Two tracks that run parallel to each other all the way to its destination. A train will go nowhere without riding on both tracks at the same time all the way to the end of the rail line.
In the same way, we must communicate what God says about abortion in the context of God's grace and God's truth. You see, theologically grace and truth always go together. In fact, they are theologically inseparable. They are like the two sides of the same coin. You cannot have one without the other. And here's why this is important.
Pastor Randy Alcorn has written, "Grace without truth deceives people, truth without grace, crushes people."
We will never understand God's grace apart from God's truth. But God's truth will always lead us to God's grace. And as we begin this morning let me impress this upon you. If your life has been touched by abortion, while you cannot escape the truth about abortion nor some of the consequences of your abortion, please know that there is forgiveness, there is healing and restoration in the gospel of Jesus Christ. As with any of our sin, there is a way to resolve the guilt, shame and hurt that abortion will bring to the human experience.
And I want you to know that you are in the right place to hear that Good News. No one is here to condemn or judge you. On the contrary, we are here to extend love and compassion and a message of forgiveness, hope, healing and restoration available to you through the gospel of Jesus Christ. You are in a safe place in this church.
Abortion was legalized forty-six years ago on January 22, 1973. According to the
National Right to Life, on that day,
"...the Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wadeand Doe v. Boltondecisions legalizing abortion in all 50 states during all nine months of pregnancy, for any reason, medical, social, or otherwise.”
In other words, a woman was given the legal right to take the life of her unborn child at any time during the nine months of pregnancy, right up to moment of natural child birth, for virtually any reason.
Notice first of all, the Sanctity of the unborn. What value does God place on human life? To answer that question we begin with creation.
Man was created by God, in His image and likeness. Genesis 1:17,
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them.”
Genesis 2:7 (ESV)"...then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.”
It should be clear from the Biblical creation account that man is not the product of a random, meaningless evolutionary process over billions of years. Man is not the result of a cosmic accident. God intentionally created man with capacities reflective of Himself, In other words, in His image. As God said in Isaiah 43:7, man was “created for my glory.”
Man is made in the image of God. In his book, Man: The Image of God, pediatrician, Dr. John Rendle-Short, M.D. points out the Godlike qualities man Shares with God.
Language – humans can communicate. We had a dog named Maggie. She could bark, whine, and growl, but I never heard her utter a single word, no less speak a sentence.
Intelligence – man can think. Not only is he a rational being, he can think in the abstract. For example, he can compute complex mathematical, chemical and engineering formulas.
Creativity – his intelligence allows him to create sophisticated products. He can send a man to the moon, and speak instantly around the world from a cell phone or the internet.
Love - he can have relationships and live in fellowship and community. Man is a social creature with the ability to love and be loved; with the ability to care for and nurture its young; and to live in committed lifelong relationships, like marriage.
Holiness - man has a moral conscience with the ability to tell right from wrong. I
Immortality – man is eternal. Unlike the rest of the animal world, he will live forever.
Freedom – man can make choices. All of this “because he is human, made in the image of God."
Notice the Personhood of the unborn. This is what God said to Jeremiah, (1:5) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”Before there was any physical manifestation of Jeremiah in the womb of his mother, God knew Him.
Listen to this incredible incident. These words were spoken by Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist, when Mary, just days pregnant with Jesus
Christ, visited her. Luke 1:41-44
"When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, hat the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.’"
Do you realize what took place? The text says that John the Baptist, leaped for joy in his mother's womb when he came into the presence of Jesus Christ, God incarnate, who was but days old in the womb of his mother Mary. This is the first record of worship of the Messiah. And it took place in the womb. I call it intra-uterine worship.
Do you see the personhood of the unborn in these narratives? You see, the Biblical evidence is clear. The unborn are created by God and for God. They are created in His image. They are recognized by God as distinct and unique persons even in the womb from the moment of conception if not before. Life begins at conception.
The scientific evidence leads us to the same conclusion. Douglas Erlandson writes,
“When the fertilized egg (or zygote) is first formed, it already possesses its fullcomplement of DNA or genetic information. That information never changes. A person’s sex, blood type hair and skin color, and future height are all determined in that first cell. From that moment on, unless its life is terminated, it will develop until it becomes an adult human being.”
Professor Micheline Matthews-Roth, M.D. of Harvard University Medical School, concurs writing, “…It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception…”
Who is behind abortion? Who is the driving force behind this holocaust? The Biblical evidence would indicate that abortion is a Satanic enterprise.
The stage was set thousands of years ago as recorded in Genesis 3:15 (NIV). After Satan deceived Adam and Eve and man was plunged into sin, God said to Satan,
...I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." And with that the epoch struggle between good and evil began. And Satan has been involved in an unrelenting attempt to kill the offspring of Eve ever since. Abortion is a satanic enterprise!
Jesus, Himself, said as much. John chapter eight records an encounter between Jesus and the religious leaders. In that exchange Jesus said this about the devil,
"The devil…was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." John 8:44 (NIV)
Here Jesus identifies two roles of Satan: A murderer from the beginning and a liar and the father of lies. Has he been successful?
It is estimated that between 40 and 50 million unborn babies are killed by abortion worldwide each year. Worldwide about one in five pregnancies end in abortion. (AGI “In Brief” October 2007)
A study by Dr. Brian Clowes estimated there have been 1.72 billion abortions worldwide in the forty years between 1973 and 2013. That's an average of 117,800 per day for 40 years!
Each year close to one million preborn babies are killed by abortion in the United States. Since 1973, almost about 60 million unborn babies have been killed by abortion in America.
Abortion is the most frequently performed elective surgery in America. Over 3,000 a day. 21 % of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) are surgically aborted. “About one in three American women will have had an abortion by the time she reaches age 45.” (Compiled by Operation Rescue)
In Florida, almost 68,000 unborn babies lost their lives to abortion in 2018. (Florida Agency for Health Care Administration).
John Powell has written,
“In the United States it is statistically confirmed that the most dangerous place for anyone to be, with regard to the preservation of one’s life, is in the womb of one’s mother.” (Abortion: The Silent Holocaust)
In John 10:10, Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy." The Devil has been very successful in carrying out his agenda.
Satan is also a liar and the father of lies. Deception proliferates in the abortion industry. In fact, one can accurately say that deception characterizes the abortion industry.
Notice that deception involves telling lies. These were the words of an abortion counselor: "Although the test is positive, you shouldn't consider yourself pregnant," she explained. "It's really just cells dividing at this point. We can take care of the problem quickly and easily, and you'll never have to think about it again.”
She made four statements. Each statement was a lie. This is the mantra of the abortion industry.
Deception involves withholding the truth.This study showed that, “Even though the majority felt rushed and uncertain, 67% received no counseling; 79% were not told about alternatives to abortion.” (VM Rue et. al., Medical Science Monitor)
You see, deception leads to moral schizophrenia. As Pastor Randy Alcorn has noted, "In America it is illegal toharmyour pre-born child, but it is perfectly legal to kill him.”
The Devil is “a murderer" "a liar and father of all lies.” These two “attributes” expose himas the architect of abortion.
Look with me at the ancient origin of child killing. We trace it to Molech worship. Molech was a god of the Ammonites the descendants of Lot. Molech was a fertility god whose worship included child sacrifice. Ezekiel 16:20-21 records God's words, "And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols… You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.”
King Solomon built the first high place for the worship of Molech. Subsequent kings continued the practice including King Ahaz and King Manasseh who sacrificed their own children as they led their nation in the worship of the demon god Molech.
Notice the parallels with abortion. In Molech worship a child was sacrificed to gain Molech's favor. In other words, the parents sacrificed something of value, their child, to gain something at a given point in time they considered to be of even greater value. For example, seeking Molech’s favor for a good harvest, victory in battle or financial well-being.
Notice the similarity with abortion. In abortion the mother sacrifices the life of her child for something, which at that time is of greater value to her than the child. Her education, avoid personal shame, finances, personal convenience, her career, birth control.
Sacrifice for what? Pastor John Piper, “Abortion in America is not done consciously with any desire to get blessing from a deity. But it is done to gain something 'better' than the baby—the life of a child is being sacrificed for something. What that “something” is defines the barbarity of our culture.”
Do you see the deception? The Scriptures identify the demonic nature of this child sacrifice in Psalm 106:37-38.
"They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood."
There are distinct parallels between Molech worship and modern abortion.
Abortion is the sacrifice of the unborn. “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters.”
The unborn are family – our sons & daughters. “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters.”
Abortion sheds innocent blood. “They shed innocent blood.”
The innocent blood of the aborted is sacrificed to demons. “They sacrificed…to demons.”
Eric Holmberg and Jay Rogers, in their work, Massacre of Innocence, summarize,
“The spiritual heritage of the Moabites and the Ammonites is passed down to our own day through abortion. Today the church is fighting against those same spiritual forces for the very survival of our nation.”
Lest you think that abortion and the demonic is just ancient history, let me bring you up to date.
Modern feminism, witchcraft & abortion.
In December of 1985, an article, entitled, "Feminist Spiritualism and Abortion" appeared in the feminist Ms. Magazine, written, and I emphasize, by feminists about themselves.
"The feminist spirituality movement began to emerge in the mid-1970s and has become one of the largest sub-movements within feminism...to the women in feminist spirituality, witchcraft had even a more fundamental meaning. It is a woman's religion, vilified by patriarchal Christianity, and now, finally, reclaimed.”
Eric Holmberg and Jay Rogers have this to say about what was in the article, “Much space was given to goddess worship or adulation of the various demons associated with child sacrifice (including Isis and Aphrodite).” (Massacreof Innocence)
Let me give you just a sampling of the thinking of modern day feminists. Patricia Baird-Windle owned three abortion clinics responsible for 65,000 abortions. In an interview after retirement she said, "Abortion is a major blessing and a sacrament in the hands of women..." (The 'Sacrament' of Abortion: An Interview With a Retired Abortionist.")
Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, President of the Episcopal Divinity School in New England said the following in a sermon given in Birmingham Alabama in 2007.
When a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to safe, affordable abortion– there is not a tragedy in sight – only blessing.”
Episcopal Priestess, Dr. Carter Hayward, told the National Abortion Federation in 1985, "Abortion would be a sacrament if women were in charge. Abortion should be a sacrament even today."
Listen to these astounding words. “It’s rare for a woman to choose abortion because in some way she dislikes the fetus. She sacrifices it for the sake of something she judges at this moment to be more important, whether it be her existing children… or her own physical, economic, or psychological survival or the fate of the planet."
Do you remember what I just shared, comparing abortion to child sacrifice? Psychologist Dr. Ginnette Paris wrote those words in her book, The Sacrament of Abortion. She continues,
“When abortion is necessary, not only should there be no shame but there should be a new consensus that to have a child who cannot adequately be cared for is shameful…It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one.”
Frank Pavone, commenting on her book writes,
“The fact that some defend abortion as a sacred act should alert us to the depth of the spiritual warfare that is going on. Abortion has never been merely or even primarily apolitical issue. It is a false religion."
He writes of a former abortion clinic security guard who "...after being converted, admitted why he was angry at pro-life sidewalk counselors 'You were coming to protest in front of our church. That clinic was where we conducted our worship.’”
Unmasking a "woman's right to choose" and "reproductive rights."
If you dialogue about abortion around the water cooler at work or at home over the back yard fence, these are the words that always come into play. These are the two terms the proponents of abortion use to frame the debate. To hide, as it were, what abortion really is. "A woman's right to choose" and "reproductive rights" are code words for a woman's right to take the life of her unborn child. The key Scripture that addresses this issue is Genesis 3:1-5.
"Now, the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden?” The woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, “You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.” ‘You will not surely die,’ the serpent said to the woman. 'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'”
Note the significance of the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Here are the temptations. To live independent of God. Self-idolatry – self love rules. Man becomes his own god “you will be like God.” Man determines right and wrong (moral relativism). This is the underlying premise of the proponents of “a woman's right to choose" and "reproductive rights.”
As Dr. Carl Ellis has said, "Eve became, in essence, the first secular humanist."
Notice the link between abortion and the Garden of Eden. "I do not what a child at this time." Pastor John Piper,
"...that is one of the most powerful sentences a person can speak...the 'want' of a mother has become the will of a god....Our modern, secular, God-dethroning culture has endowed the will [the 'want'] of a mother not just with sovereignty over her child, but with something vastly greater...the right and the power to create personhood."
The legal right "to choose" gives women the legal right to define personhood or play god. Again Pastor Piper,
“…the awesome thing is that we endow her will not just with sovereignty over her unborn baby, but with the authority to define it. If she wants it, it is a baby, a person. If she does not want it, it is not a baby, not a person.” (John Piper, “Abortion & the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil.”)
Pastor Randy Alcorn,
“The prochoice position always overlooks the victim’s right to choose....The blacks didn’t choose slavery. The Jews didn’t choose the ovens. And the babies don’t choose abortion.”
How should the Church respond?
I hope you have seen that abortion is first and foremost a spiritual issue and thus a gospel issue. Prayer is therefore the first work in ending abortion. Copies of "Praying to End Abortion Prayer Guide" are available in the foyer. I put this together in 2012 when serving as the Prayer Coordinator for Fort Lauderdale's first 40 Days for Life Prayer and Fasting Vigil. It is virtually all Scripture. I use it every time I'm at the clinic praying.
We must live in sexual purity. There is a direct link between sexual immorality and abortion. Over 80% of women who have an abortion are unmarried. "…among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity.” Ephesians 5:3 (NIV)
We must repent of abortion in the church, "There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: hands that shed innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:16a,17b)
Why repent of abortion in the church? 37% of women having abortions identify themselves as Protestant. (AGI, “In Brief” July, 2008) A number of years ago Focus on the Family reported that 250,000 evangelical women choose abortion each year. (www.heartlink.org) A more recent study found that "23% of Christian women who have had an abortion consider themselves to be an evangelical Christian." (Lifeway/Carenet 2016)
As the church responds to abortion we must be careful not to overlook the complex circumstances of many facing unplanned pregnancies. This demands a practical and compassionate response by the church. Over 50% of all women who have an abortion feel they have no choice. Notice some of the reasons women have abortions. They are forced by their mother; father opposed her having the child; persuaded by husband or boyfriend; never given an option; loss of family support; would be kicked out of their home; persuaded by the clinic. (Frederica Mathewes-Green, Real Choices)
As you might know, one of the ways the Church is responding in a practical and compassionate way here in Broward County is through the ministry of Hope Women's Centers, with centers in North Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale and Davie. I congratulate this church for being one of the avid supporters of this ministry as is your pastor.
As you can see Hope provides many free and confidential services including pregnancy tests, limited obstetric ultrasound, STI testing and treatment, options counseling, community referrals and of course the gospel. I believe the church should take ownership of these pregnancy resource centers. There are Hope Center flyers in the foyer that will tell you more about how you can help, support and pray for them. They have a volunteer training on February 2. See the bulletin insert.
In these centers the truth about abortion and the gospel of Jesus Christ are confronting the lies of hell itself. It is where church members, the Body of Christ, are intervening in the lives of men and women often at a critical time of decision when they need love, compassion, truth and the gospel of life.
The church must also reach out and minister to the post-abortive. Does abortion hurt men and women? This study showed that, “65% report symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder they attribute to their abortions.” (VM Rue et, all)
This is, I emphasize, a short list of emotional and behavioral problems experienced by the post-abortive: emotions such as anxiety/panic, grief/loss, fear of losing your child, guilt, self-hatred, depression, and anger/rage. Behaviors such as drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, sexual promiscuity, overprotecting parenting, eating disorders, and inability to bond with children.
On Wednesday morning I watched the video of the Hope Restored Stories, a panel discussion you hosted here at New Life with two post-abortive women, Chaina and Michelle. Powerful testimonies. They experienced these types of problems but they gave witness to how the ministry of Hope Women's Centers and the gospel prevailed in their lives. It brought me to tears a number of times as I watched it. It was powerful.
It is important to realize that the root cause of any of these problems could be past involvement in abortion. "Could it be that your life has been touched by an abortion?" That question could unlock the door to wonderful healing and restoration.
I want you to know this morning that there is forgiveness, healing and restoration for the post-abortive in Jesus Christ. And that is a priority here at New Life Baptist Church.
If your life has been touched by an abortion speak with Pastor Coleman.
Hope Women's Centers also provides help to those suffering from post abortion stress through an abortion recovery ministry. For more information or for an appointment call the number on the screen or email at hoperestored@thereishope.org.
Several years ago I was on Facebook one Sunday afternoon. A pro-life advocate was having an online discussion about abortion. A woman came into the discussion, telling us she had three abortions in her past. Listen what she went on to say,
“The consequences to women who have had abortions (and men as well) cut deep into the soul…The post-abortive women sitting in church on a Sunday morning need to hear about forgiveness for ALL SIN through Jesus Christ….abortion is not the unforgivable sin so many think it is... women need to know there is healing and hope in Christ that they may also forgive themselves.”
The host asked her about how she was dealing with the loss of her three children. This was the powerful testimony she then shared,
“…the fact of the matter is that I don’t grieve any more. Christ has delivered me from all of the pain through his healing power! I know that one day I'll stand in heaven finally meeting my three precious children: David, Rebekah, and Grace Hope!... when they've asked the Father why they couldn't be with me on earth or why they never knew me here, He’ll look at them with love and say, “I don't remember” (VA, Facebook 09-27-09)
There is a way to resolve the guilt, shame and hurt that abortion will bring to the human experience. The blood of Jesus Christ shed over 2000 years ago is sufficient to cover our sin, my sin and your sin, any sin and all sin. If you today are not reconciled to God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ, today can be your day of salvation. The healing can begin.
The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 7:10, "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret."
Remember the words of Jesus in John 10:10, "The thief comes only to stead and kill and destroy." Listen to the second half of that verse. "I came that they might have life and have it abundantly."
Here's Jesus invitation, Matthew 11:28,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (literaly - I will rest you - knowing Jesus is the rest) Take my yoe upon you and learn from me, for I am gently and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Abortion is first and foremost a gospel issue! There are two conclusions I have been sharing with the Church for over a decade.
The Body of Christ, the church, is the onlyorganism (institution) spiritually equipped to engage the Satanic forces behind abortion. Therefore the Church must take the leadin the effort to end abortion.
When the church sees abortion as a Gospel issue we will win the battle for life! Christ has already won the victory!
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.” (Colossians 2:9-10)
Paul goes on to say, verse 15,
“...having disarmed the powers and authorities, [God] he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."
This is how we respond to 46 years of legalized abortion. Unashamedly proclaim the gospel of life, while responding with compassionate and practical help like that offered through Hope Women's Centers and other ministries in Broward, by prayer and sidewalk counseling and other ways of assisting and helping.
I close with this illustration, John Ensor wrote, "The commands of Scripture exist that we might be compelled to do what does not come naturally." (John Ensor, Innocent Blood - Challenging the Powers of Death With the Gospel of Life)
In Luke chapter ten Jesus tells the story of a man on his way to Jericho from Jerusalem who was robbed and beaten and left half dead alongside the road. Three different individuals had the opportunity to come to his rescue, in all likelihood to save his life. Two of the three did not respond to the needs of the man bleeding by the side of the road. Those two were the church leaders of that day, a priest and a Levite, responsible for the spiritual care of their nation.
And Jesus points out that not only did they fail to respond, but they "passed by on the other side." In other words they consciously and deliberately distanced themselves from the needs of the man dying by the side of the road.
Jesus then pointed out that the one who proved to be the neighbor to the dying man was the one who showed mercy to the badly beaten traveller. He then said, "Go and do likewise."
John Ensor, in his book Innocent Blood, defines "Samaritan compassion" this way,
"Doing right in the sight of the Lord means acting to stop the shedding of innocent blood. The only person in Jesus’ parable who is pro-life according to the demands of love is the Samaritan. Only he was willing to make the nearly dead man’s problem his own. Only he was willing to see the victim’s suffering as his own. Only he was willing to act according to what he would cry out for if their positions had been reversed."
May I suggest to you that according to Jesus' parable, our salvation has a moral imperative built into it with regards to the needs of those around us, our neighbors.
Last year almost 9,000 unborn children lost their lives to abortion in Broward County, an average of over 26 per day. They were our neighbors.
Children will die unless someone intervenes on their behalf. In other words, we have an opportunity to "go and do likewise."
Again, Pastor John Ensor, "Loving my neighbor will occasionally arrest me and maybe even require me to help prevent someone from being murdered."
The writer of Proverbs said something very similar, "Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; Don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it." (Proverbs 24:10-12)
Eight years ago, Flip Benahm, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, (January 22, 2011) issued the following statement in a press release,
"...the time is now, for the Church to rise up and not wait for political parties, or the president, or Congress, or the Supreme Court to take care of the issue. It is our responsibility. The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ. Abortion will come to an end when the church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end - not a second sooner. The responsibility for ending abortion rests squarely upon the shoulders of the Church of Jesus Christ."
I think he's right.
