147: A Time For Boldness
Emotions are high with the recent historic decision of the Supreme Court. Not only is the nation split on where they stand on the issue of abortion, but Christians are too.
In this episode, we discuss the enormous opportunity Christians have to speak in love and support of those affected by past decisions and those who struggle with where they stand on the issue.
It is more important than ever that those who support the life of unborn children speak out with kindness and acceptance. This episode will help inspire and equip them to do so.
Listen and be encouraged to boldly step out in faith and share what is in your heart.
Verses in the show:
- In Acts 4, Peter and John spoke boldly and challenged us to do the same. They said, “And now, Lord, hear their threats, and give us, Your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.” (Verse 29 NLT)
- Job talks about God guiding his conception and forming him in the womb in Job 10:10-11.
- In Psalm 139:15-16, David talks about how God wove him in the womb. He says, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”
- There is also a verse in Isaiah, Chapter 49 that says, “The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name.”
- God gave Jeremiah the message that he knew him before he formed him in his mother’s womb, set him apart, and appointed him a prophet to the nations.
It can be scary to speak up for what is right because people who believe in abortion are angry and afraid. And we all say things that are hurtful when we feel threatened. But like Peter and John, we can pray for great boldness. We can ask the Holy Spirit to give us the strength and courage to speak against evil. And if you aren’t sure what to believe, get into God’s Word. Pray and ask for clarity and guidance. Ask God what He thinks, then listen for His response.
