The Blueprint to Ending Abortion in the Church

A crucial resource for crucial times.
Abortion in the church?  Research reveals it is. Fifty-four percent of women who have had an abortion identify as Catholic or Protestant. Forty percent attended church regularly at the time of their first abortion. Seventy-six percent felt that their church didn't have a ministry they could turn to. There is a significant and troubling issue in the church.
Abortion is the most divisive issue of our time, presenting profound ethical, moral, and societal implications that demand pastoral leadership. Until now, there hasn't been a resource to assist pastors in addressing an issue that has touched virtually every pew in some way.  This groundbreaking resource enables pastors and church leaders to navigate its unique challenges and confidently engage their congregations with the biblical integrity and practical insights they have longed for. Our decades-long silence has given our Adversary free rein to evangelize virtually the entire Body of Christ with false doctrine.  

This is not merely a theological exercise. Rather, it is a deep dive into its multifaceted dimensions with uncommon insights to understand the gravitational effects abortion has on women, men, families, and the church. Although it’s viewed as a deeply divisive and sensitive issue, it doesn’t have to be.  Here, I sidestep the volatile debate of Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice and shift the focus to building a consensus around the one thing we all should be able to agree on: the fewer lives lost to abortion and the resulting psychological effect on women and men thereafter, the better.
This “Blueprint” is modeled after the one God the Father used to address the world's most well-known unplanned pregnancy (from a human perspective) to keep it from becoming a crisis pregnancy: the birth of Christ. He’s left us the blueprint, and it’s not the one being promoted by abortion rights advocates.    

 As God-honoring as our Pro-Life mission has been, we've been unable to move the needle in breaking the intergenerational cycle of unplanned pregnancies that leads to the risk of abortion. In John 10:10, we see Christ making it clear he’s not just Pro-Life but Pro-Abundant Life. It means we are to enlarge our mission and become Pro-Abundant Life. We’re still saving for heartbeats, but now it’s heaven-bound heartbeats.  This Pro-Abundant Life approach that I introduce shows how we could have prevented the needless deaths of millions of infants and the psychological scarring of millions more that came with it. The good news is we still can.
