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!
