Itâs scary. How do you put food on the table? What are you going to do? What happens if the family is not supportive? Where are you going to go? See, all of a sudden abortion starts to sound somewhat attractive, because how are you supposed to handle this? Youâre not ready for this.
See, this is where the church, if we say, âThis is murder,â and yet we donât say, âWeâre here for you. Weâll walk alongside of you. Weâll provide for you. Come into my house. Come eat dinner with our family. How can I serve you? How can I come alongside of you? Weâll help you get diapers. Weâll get you bottles. Weâll show you kind of what to do. Weâll support you. Weâll help you get into school. Weâll watch the baby while you go to work. Weâll come alongsideâŠâ
If the church doesnât do that, then we probably donât understand the gospel and should shut our mouths on this being murder. You canât do both. Itâs deplorable. Itâs pharisaic to do that. To say, âItâs murder, but good luckâ is sinful and disgusting for the church of Jesus Christ. No, we roll up our sleeves, we foster, we adopt, we babysit, we come alongside, and we free up capital to support. We send off to junior college, and we watch. Itâs difficult, and itâs messy. It feels like it will never end. God honors it, and lives are saved.
