Foundations - Sanctity of Life

"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." -Matthew 5:9 (NIV)

"Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." -1 Peter 2:11-12 (NIV)

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." -1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)

As the 2020 election approaches, we believe that as a voter, you should understand and research the issues. Some will have a greater impact on our culture and future of our country than others. We have an allegiance to God and His ways. We have an allegiance as Americans to maintain our freedom. Finally, we have an allegiance to our political party by sharing our voice of the people. Our cues come from Christ, not culture.

Our culture has accepted 2 huge lies:
1.) If you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them.
2.) If you love someone you must agree with everything they believe or do.

Your compassion should come from your conviction. There are some issues at stake that those who identify with Christ and maintain scripture as their source for life and godliness must stand. What are these non-negotiables?

1.) Sanctity of life
2.) Sanctity of marriage— the union of one man and one woman
"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." -Genesis 2:24 (NIV)
3.) The preservation of religious liberty.

When we don't respect the life of the unborn, we won't respect the life of the born. The greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion. We as believers need to vote in such a way that protects these non-negotiable values.
