Sanctity of Life Sunday

Jesus and John the Baptist were distinct persons while still in their mothers' wombs - John jumped for joy when he heard Mary's voice (Luke 1)

Science has confirmed that life begins at conception. Modern medical practice can do surgeries and treat the unborn. Criminal justice precedents favor the unborn that if you murder a pregnant woman you are guilty of two homicides. Sociologically people are aware abortions are terribly disproportionate against non-whites. All this confirms our theology and informs our conscience of the sanctity of human life beginning at conception.

Nevertheless we still see our tax dollars funding a culture of death. Planned Parenthood - the largest abortion business in America - aborted nearly 330,000 babies last year - more than the year before - an average of one abortion every 90 seconds. It took over half a billion tax dollars from you, the taxpayer, and it wants even more. It wants more abortions and more tax dollars. The abortion industry had a banner year at your expense - the abortion giant received more than $528 million of your tax dollars. Planned Parenthood is profiting from death, bragging about ObamaCare, and touting how many pro-life laws it has defeated. Not only did its abortions increase last year, so did its bottom line. It has more than $1.372 billion in assets.

We pray for the unborn and their mothers and that fathers will protect their unborn and take responsibility.

We pray against the culture of sexual promiscuity that prostitutes God's gift of sexuality without regard for the consequence. We pray the fear of God come on us as a nation. We pray mercy and healing for those who have had abortions. We pray against the demonic evils of murder and selfishness that motivates the abortion industry and planned parenthood. We pray deliverance for the abused and victims of trafficking. We pray blessing on families and on all children, in the name of the Father fr whom all family derives it's name, and the Son and Holy Spirit.

Next Sunday we will offer blessing prayers on all children and families who are brought forward.
