This past Sunday we dealt with a very heavy issue. We looked together at how God values human life and considered how our culture has moved further and further away from God's heart in this matter. Specifically, we spoke of the implications of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling known as Roe v. Wade, which functionally made abortion legal on demand. (The Roe decision was released on the same day as the decision from the Doe v. Bolton case in Georgia, in which a preexisting law prohibiting abortion except in the case of rape, severe fetal abnormality, or the possibility of severe or fatal harm to the mother was struck down. This decision did on the state level what Roe v. Wade accomplished on the national level.)
The topic could have been approached from several different angles, all of which would have been appropriate. I appreciate Matt Chandler, pastor of the Village Church, and his way of speaking so passionately about the real issues at play.
Take a look at this 6 minute video and continue to think biblically about the issues that touch our world so deeply. Does the Bible speak to the culture of our day? Absolutely.
