ABORTION


I. INTRODUCTION

A. Subject of today message is  
   ABORTION.

C. Simply the most debated topic of our 
   time.

D. Subject of importance to Christians!



II. BODY

A. ABORTION: THE REALITY OF IT!

1. This is a difficult 
   problem..questions of life,death,   
   morality!

2. This is happening on a routine basis
   in this country!

3. This is a problem for Christians   
   too!


B. ABORTION: THE CONCEPT OF IT!

1. Worldly answer: It's my body and
   I'll do what I want!

2. World of Christianity is our 
   immediate concern 1 cor. 5:9-13; 
   6:19-20

3. What is the nature of life

   a. Man is made in the image of God  
      Gen 1:20-28

   b. Man is known to God before birth  
      and is therefore alive before  
      birth Psalm 139:1-24 (esp 13-17)

4. What does this mean?

   a. God is involved in conception (to 
      deny his control in this matter
      is wrong)
      2 Cor. 6:18; Exo 4:22; Isa 64:8;     
      Jn 1:14; Jn 8:41; Job 33:4; Rom 
      5:17-21 Dt 28:1-4; 28:15-18; Eccl   
      11:5; Isa 44:2,24, Jer 1:5

   b. If God sets something in motion, 
      who are we to fight against God?
      Acts 5:11-42

   c. If what God creates is good, and 
      what God destroys is bad, why  
      would we call bad what he has   
      called good?(definition of 
      Satanism, as per HBO special)

C. ABORTION: THE REASON FOR IT!

1. Convience: to allow sinful behavior.

2. Consequence: to avoid the penalty 
   for fornication,adultery.

3. Concern for the unborn's perfectness  
   really means "playing God"

4. Casual respect for others - the "I"  
   syndrome.

5. Confusion of right and wrong: "what 
   ever happened to sin"?

D. ABORTION: THE ACT OF IT!

1. Cruel and unusal punishment: salene, 
   suction, d & c.

2. Consider the fate of the "fetus" who 
   lives through an abortion.

3. Conscience of the woman over the 
   years.... HURTS!

4. Consider the Christian who has an 
   abortion.


E. ABORTION: THE POWER OF IT!

1. Replaces God with self

2. Removes life from the earth, and the 
   possibilities of the least likely to  
   succeed.

3. Relegates God's creation to  
   nothingness.

4. Really is man playing God.


F. ABORTION: THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT!

1. Murder on a vast scale exo 20:13

2. Monumental judgement against the 
   nation

3. Morality declines rapidly.

4. Monitions for us... we must fight 
   against it!!!


III. CONCLUSION

A. GOD WANTS US TO USE WHATEVER HE  
   GIVES US TO GLORIFY HIM.

B. GLORIFY GOD WITH YOUR BODY:  
   REPRODUCE, DO NOT ABORT.

C. GIVE EVERY FAUCET OF YOUR LIFE TO 
   GOD, INCLUDING REPRODUCTION!
