More Americans “Pro-Life” Than “Pro-Choice” for First Time

... Also, fewer think abortion should be legal “under any circumstances”

This article is an amazing demonstration of the paradigm shift that is taking place in society regarding the sanctity of human life.  Could it be that the more a topic is discussed and debated, the more truths about the topic will surface, thereby allowing citizens to draw more informed conclusions?  I truly believe that is the case.  Many of us were disheartened at the dawning of the new U.S. administration, however, it is becoming crystal clear that, as always, the Lord's plan is perfect.  He knows what we as a society need to go through in order for the truth to prevail.

The encouraging news of more Americans being pro-life goes hand in hand with what Act of Life is witnessing on the ground.  As one of many pro-life ministries based in the greater Houston area, we are humbled and blessed to be part of a greater whole.  The Christian Agencies for Pregnancy and Adoption (CAPA) are working together to support life-affirming parenting choices.  It is amazing how life ministries are coming together to collaborate on outreach projects, touching more and more lives.  While strength in numbers is not necessarily a biblical concept (correct me if I'm wrong!), a wall of truth is a force to be reckoned with.

As more and more people accept the truth about God's heart for the sanctity of human life being from conception to natural death, we are also witnessing repentance and turning to Him for healing and forgiveness.  

Sagemont Church has just released the second part in a series for their Real Life TV program about the sanctity of human life.  Topics in this episode include abortion, adoption as a life saving parenting choice, and abortion recovery.  After the panel discussion is a closer look at Room 104; the abortion recovery class that is facilitated by Sagemont Church member, Khristey Walker, Executive Director of Pasadena Community Pregnancy Center, TX.  We are quick to tout God's heart for life, but must remember there are hurting hearts and souls of women who have had an abortion, who may feel there is no hope of healing.  Some may have been hurting for many years.  The good news is... there is hope, in Jesus Christ alone. 

Working together, in His service,
Lynda
