Hillsong United Attendee Condones Abortion

Here is a quick example of one of the reasons we abolitionize Christian events. It’s certainly not to hate on Christians for not fighting abortion the exact same way as we do. Rather, it is to fulfill the Great Commission, meaning preach the Gospel and teach them the things Jesus commanded. This woman, who attends a Christian church, justified murdering humans because “God is the only judge and we have to just let him take the wheel.” She quoted Ecclesiastes 11:9 to prove along with that we are allowed to live anyway we want to. When I explained to her using Scripture that God sees the baby in the womb as a living human being and he has commanded us not to murder. She replied “that is your interpretation, I interpret the Bible differently.” I read 1 Corinthians 6:9-12 in a final attempt to get her to see that God has standards, her friend asked me to leave. I wish I could say that this sort of conversation is rare. But the truth is there are people most likely sitting in

Thoughts on 'Preaching the Gospel' vs. 'Fighting Abortion'

Opposing and exposing evil and consistently speaking on behalf of those who are dehumanized and destroyed in our culture is not contrary to the preaching of the Gospel. The Great Commission does not cancel out a Christian's responsibility to rescue those being led to the slaughter and God's command to love our neighbor. In fact the Great Commission includes teaching others God's commands, "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you." God has commanded us to love and re scue the orphan, weak and oppressed, to stand against evil, love mercy, establish justice, correct oppression, and bring justice to the fatherless. Preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and rescuing my pre-born neighbor from death are not contrary but harmonious.
