I can hardly wait to return to Oklahoma to hear you preach. This appears a very powerful sermon. I was just thinking, how much further one could take this, past abortion, murder, etc. If we actually value human lives, why do we not act like it when we treat brothers and sisters so poorly in our denomination? Oh, don’t get me started, but I don’t think many of our resurgence leaders really regard others.

I have discovered…The Holy Spirit really has no great preference for last-minute panic. Amazing how He works even through our advance planning when we allow it.

Thank you for standing up for the integrity of human life. I remember SBC pastors of “yesterday” that voted in St. Louis to bless abortion on demand. That was a bad day. Later Roe-v-Wade brought the whole nation to the same place of blessing abortion on demand. That was another bad day.

In the 1981 SBC, a young pastor from Texas came to the mic. in New Orleans and called all Southern Baptist to a sobering reality that abortion is muder. His name was Morris Chapman. That was a good day. From 1987-1990 a battle was fought in Nashville for Sunday School literature to have a “Sanctity of Human Life” lesson every January untill Roe-v-Wade was overturned. That was a good thing.

Roe-v-Wade is still law. That is a bad thing.

Today a young SBC pastor in Oklahoma preached to the people of his church that all human life is to be respected because all people are created in the image of God. That is a good thing.

Today many young and old preachers alike and many Sunday School teachers all over the nation preached and taught that all human life is sacred before God and should be respect and cared for by all of us who name the name of Jesus. That is a good thing.

One day Roe-v-Wade will be overturned. That will be a good thing.

Thank you, young pastors for standing in the gap for the innocent, the afflicted, the weak, the old and the unborn. You are doing a good thing.

God will not forget you on the day of “crowns.”
