Relentless: The Abortion Industry Exploits People's Fears.

Relentless.

This is the word that is plastered all over Planned Parenthood's 2022 annual report. Talk about having an agenda much...

Relentless.

The abortion industry is relentless when it comes to the murder of innocent babies.

Satan is relentless when it comes to destroying what God created.

The Bible tells us that "The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Christ) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

The Church needs to be relentless.

The Church needs to be relentless as it pertains to the murder of innocent babies.

The Church can no longer stay quiet for the sake of numbers, for political reasons, for fear of upsetting people, for fear of losing money, for whatever fears.

It angers me as much as it makes me sad to see the Church crumble under the fear of standing up for what is right.

We stay silent, hoping that this will pass. Let me tell you, if the Church remains silent, it will not pass.

Satan has an agenda and he is relentless.

The abortion industry exploits and preys on the fears of so many men and women who walk through their doors.

I was one of them.

And rather than sit down with me and listen to my concerns and provide me with alternative options besides murdering my child, they did none of that. They walked me back into their rooms and handed me the pills that would kill my child. They assisted me in murdering my child rather than truly providing healthcare.

The whole purpose of healthcare is to give life not take it away.

It's painful to admit that woke culture can often provide more comfort and understanding than the Church can. I know this may stir some people up. I know some people may disagree and think that I am wrong. And that's okay. I've stopped worrying about offending people. I call it as I see it, and the Church is failing its people, big time.

The Bible tells us numerous times the importance of defending life, defending the poor, of providing.

Psalm 82:3-4; "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

Deuteronomy 15:7-11; "If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or tight-fisted toward them. Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need... Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this, the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land."

Isaiah 1:17; "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

James 1:27; "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

The Church can so easily and quickly jump on the train of providing for the poor, which is great, however, when it comes to abortion, the Church is silent. Just last week, the church I attend did a one day to feed the world event with Convoy of Hope and it was moving and convicting to hear about what Convoy of Hope is doing, however, I've approached my Church numerous times with my story in hopes that I could speak out on abortion and I've got nothing from them. It's been discouraging, to say the least. I've gotten more opportunities from pro-life ministries than from the Church. While I am thankful for the opportunities that are presented to me, I am sad to know my Church isn't one of them, many Churches, while they believe in the protection of life, they don't take action.

That's what our world needs. Relentless action.

The Church needs to be relentless in its stand for life.

The Church needs to be the first place people go when they find themselves in situations they never thought possible, rather than being the last place after the worst imaginable has happened.

Planned Parenthood was prepared for the "worst" that would happen when Roe v. Wade was overturned.

"This was the year the worst happened. We knew it was coming. We were prepared. We had to be. Losing the constitutional right to abortion was still heartbreaking — for patients, for providers, for the communities we serve. But we’ve faced challenges before, and we’ve never given up. We won’t start now. WE’RE RELENTLESS. In a world without Roe v. Wade, our mission is more important than ever. Planned Parenthood is more essential than ever. We are still here, providing care at health centers across the country, getting education and unbiased information to millions, and building a movement to rebuild our rights, stronger and more equitable than before."

My question is, why isn't the Church prepared?

Why isn't the Church relentless in its purpose to help people? To be the light. To lead them to Christ. To show them a better way of life.

Church, we need to become relentless against Satan's attacks on our lives.

We need to stand up and say no one. This ends with me.

The Church is more essential than ever, so why does it remain silent?

I understand that this topic of abortion is heavy. It's extremely heavy and there are many times when even I wish to stay silent. To hide under my covers and let someone else do it. But, that's not what the Lord has called us to do. He's called us to be bold in our faith. To fight the good fight. To stand up against injustice and protect life.

I think of Esther in those moments I want to stay silent, "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 14:14

I don't want to be the one who remains silent, do you??

We will one day have to answer for all that we did and didn't do.

Are you prepared for that? To face Christ and give an account for all that you did and didn't do?

I know I have A Lot to give an account for and I do not want to stand in front of my Lord one day saying I, again, allowed fear to keep me silent.

Fear was what led me to my abortion but fear will no longer be what controls my life!

Be Relentless!
