Without a doubt, one issue every Christian should be concerned with is abortion. The best theology, science, and philosphy shows that conception marks the beginning of human personhood, and that to move “personhood” to some point later in the development is arbitrary at best, and politically motivated at worst. In other words, properly defined, abortion is the unwarranted killing of another human being, which in other contexts we simply call murder.
For Christians to sit in our sanctuaries and sing our hymns while turning a blind eye to the plight of the unborn is atrocious. We simply cannot do it. We must stand up, and, in this case, walk for those without a voice.
For many years, Sav-A-Life Bessemer has helped the unborn, and their mothers, look away from abortion and to other alternatives. I can’t think of a better way to be personally involved in helping children live, then to walk with Sav-A-Life for the glory of God. Director Becky McDonough will be at RMLBC Jan. 17 to help motivate our congregation to make a difference.
The Walk for Life is scheduled for Feb. 6 at 10AM, at Pleasant Ridge Family Life Center.
