Pro-life advocates use this Bible passage to show how God values the life of the unborn, while pro-choice advocates use this same Scripture in an attempt to justify abortion. This message looks at both sides of the debate.

Today, January 23, 2022, is recognized as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in the Southern Baptist calendar; and so, I’m going to be discussing the value of the unborn child and have us look at the abortion debate.

It was taboo to speak of them openly. The two subjects are, sex and death. The paradox of this is, there are no two more ...read more
