Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 2:11-17

11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

You Don't Need A Bible To Know Abortion Is Wrong. Sanctity of Human Life Sunday 2017

In broader culture, opposition to abortion is often spoken of as purely a religious view.  But is this accurate? As Christians, if we oppose abortion are we expecting unbelievers to follow Christian religious rules? Is this like Catholic rules on birth control or Jehovah's Witness beliefs about blood transfusions?  In this message we look at the idea that the Law is written on the heart. From this we can see a number of reasons why it is obvious that abortion is wrong. There are numerous secular reasons for the pro-life position and this message summarizes these and explores some implications.
