In light of the new legislation passed in New York concerning abortion last week, we take time to look at the topic of abortion, specifically, how we who are pro-life respond to a culture that is ever-increasing in its promotion and allowance of shedding the blood of innocent lives. How does the every day Christian - a stay-at-home mom, a 9-5 employee, a high school student - those who may not know much about politics or consider themselves to be "activists," but who are both concerned yet also feel helpless, actually make a difference and be a part of the long term solution to save the lives of voiceless, defenseless babies? How do we also not act in arrogant judgement and engage in productive discussions and relationships with those we differ with? And, maybe most importantly, how do we care for the young women and couples who are facing difficult and life-changing decisions?
Pastor Jobey also invites congregation member Leslie Salazar-Carillo, CEO of Pathway Health Clinic in Vista, CA, to share insights and great encouragement to the church as we learn to respond to a growing crisis.
