Sermon Tone Analysis

Righteousness is NOT INHERITED (2 Chronicles 33:3)

As Followers of Jesus Christ, we must NEVER give to our Children the PRIVILEGE of Being Called Christian, Holy or Righteous until they have Personally Placed their OWN TRUST in Jesus Christ...

The Shedding of Innocent Blood is NEVER LEFT UNANSWERED BY GOD (2 Kings 21:10-16)

Notice - There were those who Spoke the Truth (2 Chron 33:10 & 33:18) Even in the Face of the Imminent Death - They SPOKE OUTLOUD AGAINST the WICKEDNESS of the KING and his PEOPLE...

In a parallels to the times of Wicked Slaughter of Manassah, King Herod and all who followed similar purges on humanity - our nation is once again under siege by those who advocate the Slaughter of the Innocent - our own Children.

From New York, to Vermont, to Illinois and to Virginia this march of the Wicked who want to shed innocent blood begins afresh every political term.

I am personally unconcerned about whether you view abortion as political or call it a personal choice, I am here to go on record to say that it is not about politics or personal choice, but GOOD vs. EVIL, The Upholding of the Sanctity of Life or the Pursuit of the Destruction of the Living...

Deitrick Bonhoeffer, who died a martyr in 1945 was a German Theologian, pastor and authoer… He said:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless.

Not to speak is to speak.

Not to act, is to act.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945, Theologian, pastor, author, martyr) Houston Chronicle, 11/5/10, p.F6

If you are uncertain about abortion because the Bible is “silent” consider An interesting statement against abortion surrounds the Advent of Christ.

In Luke 1:44, the gospel-writing-physician used the Greek word, brephus, to describe the baby (John the Baptist) who leaped for joy in Elizabeth's womb when Mary shared the news that she was pregnant.

Just one chapter later in Luke 2:12,16, the good doctor uses the same word, brephus, to describe the newborn Savior lying in a manger.

Through the inspiration of Scripture, God has provided another reminder that life in the womb is nothing less than life outside of the womb.

A Sinner in the Hand of THE ANGRY GOD (2 Chronicles 33:9-11)

REPENTANCE Leads to Personal RESTORATION - The Blood of Jesus Covers ALL Sin (2 Chronicles 33:13-19)

What Happens When God Saves the Wicked?

Norma Leah Nelson McCorvey

In 1969, at the age of 21, McCorvey became pregnant a third time and returned to Dallas.

According to McCorvey, friends advised her that she should assert falsely that she had been raped and that she could thereby obtain a legal abortion under Texas's law which prohibited abortion; sources differ over whether the Texas law had such a rape exception.[13][14][15]

Due to lack of police evidence or documentation, the scheme was not successful and McCorvey would later admit the situation was a fabrication.[16][17]

She attempted to obtain an illegal abortion, but the respective clinics had been closed down by authorities.[9]

Eventually, McCorvey was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington,[18][19] who were looking for pregnant women who were seeking abortions.

The case took three years of trials to reach the Supreme Court of the United States, and Norma never attended a single trial.

In the meantime, she had given birth to the baby in question, who was eventually adopted.[2]

Abortion advocates suffered a setback when Norma McCorvey accepted Christ and recanted her beliefs about abortion.

Ms.

McCorvey was "Jane Roe" in the 1973 landmark decision of Roe vs. Wade that legalized abortion.

"I think abortion is wrong.

I think what I did with Roe vs. Wade was wrong and I just have to take a pro-life choice."

She was baptized on August 8, 1995 in the Dallas, Texas suburb of Garland.

Reverend Flip Benham baptized McCorvey not long after leading her to Christ.

Reaching out to those with whom we disagree can transform a life and quite possibly change a culture.

McHenry’s Stories for the Soul, 2001, p.4

McCorvey's second book, Won by Love, was published in 1998.

She explained her change on the stance of abortion with the following comments:

I was sitting in O.R.'s offices when I noticed a fetal development poster.

The progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet.

It hurt my heart, just looking at them.

I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me.

'Norma', I said to myself, 'They're right'.

I had worked with pregnant women for years.

I had been through three pregnancies and deliveries myself.

I should have known.

Yet something in that poster made me lose my breath.

I kept seeing the picture of that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to myself, that's a baby!

It's as if blinders just fell off my eyes and I suddenly understood the truth—that's a baby!

I felt crushed under the truth of this realization.

I had to face up to the awful reality.

Abortion wasn't about 'products of conception'.

It wasn't about 'missed periods'.

It was about children being killed in their mother's wombs.

All those years I was wrong.

Signing that affidavit, I was wrong.

Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong.

No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester stuff.

Abortion—at any point—was wrong.

It was so clear.

Painfully clear
