The sermon, titled 'The Inherent Value of Human Life' by Jason Dohm, explores the biblical foundation for the intrinsic value of human life, emphasizing that life is a precious gift from God. Drawing from Acts 17:22-28, the sermon underscores that God gives life, breath, and all things, and human life is inherently valuable because humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-28). It further argues that human life has full value from conception, citing Exodus 21:22-25 and Psalm 139:13-16 to illustrate that life in the womb is precious and deserving of protection. The sermon also highlights the role of Christians in advocating for the vulnerable, particularly the unborn, as seen in Proverbs 24:11-12 and Proverbs 31:8. Dohm addresses the importance of legislative efforts, encouraging advocacy for personhood legislation to ensure legal protection for the unborn. He stresses that while abortion is not the unforgivable sin, it is crucial for Christians to engage in advocacy and partnerships with organizations like LoveLife to support the unborn and their mothers. The sermon concludes with a call to prayer for the nation and a revival of values that prioritize the protection of human life.

Our sermon text is from Acts 17 verses 22 through the first half of verse 28. Acts 17 beginning in verse 22. Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you're very religious. For as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription, to the unknown God. Therefore the one whom you worship without knowing him I proclaim to you.

God who made the world and everything in it since he is Lord of heaven and earth does not dwell in temples made with hands nor is he worshiped with men's hands as though he needed anything, since he gives to all life, breath, and all things. And he has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings so that they should seek the Lord in the hope that they might grope for him and find him though he's not far from each one of us for in him we live and move and have our being let's pray father we ask that you would move mindily in our midst today we ask that you would be glorified that you would by your Spirit help us to understand the words of your scripture, that you would speak to us Lord and convict us of sin and righteousness. God especially on this topic God that you would that you would grow us and make us more like you. God, that you would help us in our Christ-likeness and we ask that you would also save souls in our midst today, that by your word you would open their eyes and bring them out of darkness into your marvelous light.

It's in the powerful name of Christ that we pray these things. Amen. In that text, Paul says that God gives us Life, breath, and all things that in Him we live and move and have our being. I don't know how to make it more simple than that. The title of the sermon this morning is the Inherent value of human life.

What does it mean that human life has inherent value? What does it inherent mean? It means that It's built in as a characteristic. It's not something that was added to or that can be taken away from. It's just part of it.

You can't separate it out because it's simply a characteristic. Human life has value in that way. Value isn't added to human life nor can value be taken away from human life. Value, preciousness, is simply a characteristic of human life. It's not a bolt-on.

Human life simply is valuable among other things. Today I'm going to be speaking of five points related to the value of human life, as you can see on your handout. This is unusual for us. We love our sequential exposition here at Sovereign Redeemer Community Church. What we want to do this week is just the next few verses after what we did last week and we want to continue that on world without end and Jesus will come back and find us doing the next text after the one that came last week.

So we really are committed to that being our steady diet. We think it's the safest thing for the preacher to not always be preaching about his hobby horses. And it's the safest thing for us all to just trust that God knows what we need and we'll just keep going through and there'll be something of value and everything. Chasing felt needs is a fool's errand so we don't we don't want to do that here. But from time to time there is a topic that we feel like, ooh, we need to hit this one.

And we're doing that this week because this is the culmination of our Love Life Week, the week that we did last year and now that we're doing this year in conjunction with an association named Love Life because they love life. Yes, exactly. I like it when people don't get tricky with their names. So they love life. And so they sponsor, they lead churches out in front of this abortion clinic, 40 weeks in a row to mirror the period of human development and pregnancy.

And then at the end, they try to bring everybody who was part of those 40 weeks together and have a big old time on week 40. So we sponsored a week last year and participated in week 40 last year and now We're back this week. And so many of us, as I look around the room, many of us were out in front of the abortion clinic yesterday. Thank you so much for the strong turnout. The organizer said, I can't believe this is a small church based on your turnout.

Because they're used to big churches that have small turnouts. Because they do a hundred different things a week, and it's just hard to ask people to come out one more time, if you've already asked them out four times that week. So anyway, I told her, we don't do all that much, so when we do it, we generally do it all together. And she was thankful for that. Next week we'll be back in Romans chapter 6.

Let's ask God to help us. God we take the most basic things for granted. Is there the baseline for us? We're here today because you've given each of us a life to live. And it is a precious gift and we want it protected.

So I thank you for a week to consider how precious life is, even or maybe especially in the beginning days of it, of our life's beginning. Pray that you would use this time to help us and to help us be so thankful that you have given us a life and that you've entered into each of our lives to help us to understand the truth of our real state and our great need for the Lord Jesus. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen. So there are five things. Let's start.

One, the value of human life is both staggering and inherent. So if you're taking notes on the handout, filling in blanks, Staggering fills in the first blank, inherent fills in the second. The value of human life is tremendous, gigantic. What are the other adjectives we could use to describe? Staggering.

Life is very, very, very precious. And it's inherent. It is just simply a characteristic of life that you can't separate out. It's not added to life. It is life.

Life is precious. And it can't be taken away from it either. You can't make it not precious. Human life is precious. In scripture, let's begin at the very beginning.

Please turn to Genesis chapter 1. Genesis chapter 1, of course, is Creation Week. In Creation Week, there are six days of creation, and then God rests on the seventh day. In these six days, it's creation good, creation good, creation good, creation good, creation good, creation very good, what happens that second day. It's the finalizing of the week of creation.

There's also a very special creation, it's mankind. And the text doesn't leave us guessing why mankind is so special as a creation. So follow along as I read Genesis 1, 26-28. Well-worn territory for us. Genesis 1, 26-28.

And God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image. In the image of God, He created him. Male and female, he created them. Then God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.

You get nothing else from the sermon today. This much should be apparent. Mankind is unique. There is no other creation like us, and the uniqueness centers on being made in the image of God. How many times does it say in our image there?

It's a bunch of times. It's repeated for emphasis. It's repeated so that we don't miss the point, which is that many things in creation are wonderful. Creation is wonderful. Mankind is different.

Because we reflect the image of the God who created us. As a consequence, all tied up in the value of human life is the value of God. Why is human life valuable? Because God is infinitely valuable and he's made one creation, one creature in particular, to bear his image, to be sort of a reflection of what he's like and it is mankind. So Unless you want to devalue God, you had better not devalue human life.

Because the preciousness of human life is built on, is founded on the incalculable value of the God who made us image bearers. Question. What does a human have to be to have value? Human. Why?

Because we bear the image of God. What does a human have to do to have value? Nothing. Humans have value. We don't earn our value.

What do humans have to do to achieve a value? Those questions, if you're really asking those questions, they're betraying, you don't understand. We don't earn our lives being treated as precious. They are precious because God is precious and He has made us in His image. So we don't have to be anything other than just human beings with a life given to us by God.

We don't have to do anything. We don't have to achieve anything. We don't have to measure up to have our lives counted as precious. They are precious. The value of human life is inherent.

It is a built-in characteristic. Human life is valuable. This is made so clear in Genesis chapter 9. Turn to Genesis chapter 9. In Genesis chapter 9, the flood has come and gone.

Mankind has been reduced from how many people we don't know. If you like math and you run some simulations, it's not hard to get to a billion. But the text doesn't say. But a lot of human beings down to just eight because of sin in the world and God's judgment on sin. And this is what we read in Genesis 9 verses 1 through 7.

Follow along as I read it. So God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, and on all that move on the earth and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you.

I have given you all these things, even as the green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is its blood. For surely your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning. From the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed. For in the image of God he made man. And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it." Again, we see this vast distinction between mankind and the other creations of God. What's the sanction for killing an animal? Here in this text.

There's no sanction. In fact, they're given to us as food. So the taking of the life of the other creations, not only is it not unlawful, we are given these other creations as a source of food for us. Up until this point it had been the herbs, but now as the herbs have been given for food, so are these other creatures. We are meat eaters and it's not wrong to be meat eaters.

We are taking the life of these other creations as sources of food and we have sanction from the Word of God to do that. What's the sanction for killing another human being? It's the highest sanction that there could be. You forfeit your own life when you take the life of another human being according to the Word of God, according to Genesis chapter 9. No sanction for taking the life of any of these other creatures that God made.

The highest sanction, the death penalty, for taking the life of a human being. Why is that? Because human life is so precious. Why is that? Because we bear the image of God.

It says it explicitly in verse 6. Look again at verse 6. Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God he made man. God doesn't leave us guessing why. There's no sanction for taking the life of all these other kinds of creatures, but that there's the death penalty, he tells us.

It's rooted in the fact that human beings are my image bearers. God wants more image bearers, not less image bearers. He tells them, go fill the earth with people who bear my image. We should be protecting human life, not sacrificing babies because of any hardships or life goals. Because human life is inherently precious, inherently valuable, We should be protecting human lives and not sacrificing babies because of any hardships.

Are the hardships real? The answer is yes, but it doesn't matter. We don't sacrifice babies because of hardships, because human life is inherently precious. Life goals have to serve human life, not human life serve life goals. Two, so that was number one, The value of human life is both staggering and inherent.

Two. Human life is at full value in the womb. If you're filling in blanks on the handout, womb. In other words, it doesn't grow in value over time. Life in the womb is at full value.

Turn to Exodus 21. Exodus 21 is such a remarkable and helpful passage on this because it goes right to life within the womb. In other words, if there's any debate about whether the Bible speaks to life in the womb versus life outside the womb, this settles that forever. Yes, God knew all about it even in the time of writing the Bible. He hasn't been growing in knowledge.

And He gave us this to settle this matter. We'll be in Exodus 21. Notice the proximity to the giving of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are given in Exodus chapter 20. Moses is still on Mount Sinai with God and God is giving Moses beyond the Ten Commandments, other statutes and judgments.

In fact, look at Exodus 21 verse 1. Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them." Who's speaking? God. Who's he speaking to? Moses.

Moses, here are statutes and judgments and you are going to give them to my people. So that's what this is. Now follow along as I read Exodus 21, 22 through 25. Exodus 21, 22 through 25. If men fight and hurt a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows.

He shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him. And he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. You get the picture? That's a long list.

Long list to make sure we get the picture. So this is a miscarriage or a live birth That is happening prematurely before This birth would normally happen because two men have been fighting and a pregnant woman gets caught up in their violence towards one another and the trauma causes either a miscarriage, the ending of that pregnancy, the ending of that life, or a life birth. Now notice, even if there's no harm, there's still punishment. What does that tell you? That tells you we don't take risks with human life.

This happens, there's no harm, there's still punishment. It tells us you protect Life. You don't fight around pregnant women. Why? Because the risk is too high.

You're playing with life and we don't play with life. If there is harm, then it's life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. This matches, almost word for word, the language of Leviticus 24, 19 and 20. Why does that matter? Because in Leviticus 24, verses 19 and 20, which has almost the identical life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth language, it's your neighbor.

Why do they have the same language? Because the unborn child is your neighbor. Unborn children are our neighbors, as the Bible defines it. And we are required to love our neighbors as ourselves. Which means that we are required to count the life of our unborn neighbor as precious, because that life bears the image of God, and We must afford our unborn neighbors the same protections as we deserve as image bearers.

This is so key. We must afford our unborn neighbors the same protections as we deserve as image bearers. Do you want others to count your life as precious? Does it matter to you? It matters to me.

Do you want protections for your life so that it doesn't get treated as cheap. You want laws that count your life as precious? I do. If the unborn are my neighbors and I want it for myself, those unborn neighbors must have the same protections, all of the same protections that I rightly want for my own life, because I count it as precious. And it is precious.

It is precious. Exodus 21 teaches nothing at all If it doesn't teach that life in the life is at full value in the womb. Human life is the direct result of God's creative action. If you're filling in blanks, creative and action fill in the blanks. Human life is the direct result of God's creative action.

Turn to Psalm 139. Psalm 139 is a Psalm of David. So this is King David. Psalm 139. I'm going to be reading verses 13-16.

This is what David writes under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 139, 13-16, David says, For you, capital Y, God, for you God, formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed, and in your book they were all written the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. Human life doesn't come into being because boy meets girl. That is secondary. Sperm meets egg is secondary.

The chemical processes are secondary. God is primary. God gives life. People are alive because God gives them life. He is the primary cause who ordains the secondary causes to create image bearers.

So there's no doubt that these other things are in play. God is the primary cause. These are all just secondary causes when God makes an image bearer. You are alive because God formed your inward parts. Period.

Amen. You are fearfully and wonderfully made as a marvelous work of God. This is verse 14. Meaning, we should stand back in awe of human life. That's what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made.

It's not that we should be afraid of the process. Fearfully there means stand in awe of what God does when He makes an image Bearer. Human life, study it. It is worthy of our awe. You were made by God and skillfully wrought.

That's verse 15. God saw it all before you were ever formed, and all of your days were fashioned and laid out in his book before day one ever was. That's verse 16. The problem is when you think there is life because boy met girl, we are responsible for this so we have a right to end this. It's where that thinking leads.

No, you were secondary. God was and always is primary. This little baby boy or little baby girl bears his image, and so this little baby boy or this little baby girl is his, belongs to him, not to you, to disposition and determine what's going to happen with this human being. This is not your human being. This is God's image bearer.

He is the primary cause of this person having life. As the people of God, we can accept no other view. As the people of God, we will accept no other view. It is the view of Scripture. Scripture has no other story to tell on this topic.

Four. One function of the people of God in the world is to advocate for the vulnerable. So if you're taking notes on the handout, filling in blanks, advocate fills in the blank. Okay, Christians, what are we doing here? Why are we here?

One function of the people of God in the world is to advocate for the vulnerable. Turn to Proverbs 24. Proverbs 24. We're gonna be reading Proverbs 24 verses 11 and 12. Follow along.

Deliver those who are drawn toward death and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, surely we did not know this, does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does he not know it? And will he not render to each man according to his deeds? There are two very, very clear points here.

One, the people of God are supposed to do this, to deliver those who are drawn toward death and stumbling to the slaughter. And two, We can't plead ignorance. We cannot just throw up our hands and say, we didn't know. We do know. We do know exactly what's happening behind those walls.

We know the numbers. We know the demographics. We do know. We are not at liberty to engage or not engage. We are not at liberty to engage or not engage.

We are not at liberty to take action or not take action. Listen to Proverbs 31 verse 8. This is just a single verse, I'll just read it to you. Proverbs 31 verse 8. Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die.

We have a sign for those of you who go out to the clinic. We hold signs at the entrance. Those are typically geared towards the mothers offering practical help. We have a sign that says, I'm here to offer help and hope. We have a sign that is usually at the entrance that says, Your baby at 10 weeks.

And then there's a depiction of, an accurate depiction of human development at 10 weeks and it's beautiful and you would know you would never mistake it for anything else other than a small human. There are other signs that others of us will hold out at the street so that people who are going by in cars can see the sign. And One has on it this depiction of human development, beautifully developed, with the caption, Open your mouth for the speechless. We don't even complete the verse because people who are riding by, you might have a second that they can actually see what's on there. So we actually only want a very few words so that they can say, okay, open your mouth for the speechless and there's your picture of a baby as they ride by.

You hope they can get that much. As we stand out there for two hours on a Saturday, somewhere between 2, 000 and 2, 500 cars go by. I've done time studies. I'll count for 10 minutes and extrapolate it out. So it's somewhere between 2, 000 and 2, 500 cars are going to go by in the two hours that we're out there.

It's actually not that much. It's 17 cars a minute, which is 8 or 9 cars in each direction in a minute. So it's actually not that much. You easily get to that number. Why do we have a sign with human development saying, open your mouth for the speechless?

Because we want Christians to know a couple of things. Because there are a lot, out of those 2, 000 to 2, 500 cars that are going by, there are Christians in a lot of them. Christians that have cultivated Christian lives to which we say, praise the Lord. Aren't we supposed to be cultivating Christian lives? I think we are.

But the more we cultivate them, sometimes the more disconnected we can be from the things that are happening in our own neighborhoods. So that we can cultivate lives where we don't think about the slaughter of the unborn from one month into the next it'll never come into our minds. So we hold signs out there yes for the mothers who are coming in the entrance but also holding signs for the Christians that go by to say two things. This is an abortion clinic. A lot of those people drive by that place every day, and if there weren't people with signs They don't advertise it as an abortion clinic.

They advertise it as a health clinic. It is a preferred women's health clinic by signage. We want to say, Christian, it's our job to do something. We have to open our mouths for the speechless. One of the reasons Christians are on planet Earth is to advocate for the vulnerable who have no way to advocate for themselves.

If it's not true of the unborn, who is it true of? Is there a more vulnerable population less able to advocate on their own behalf than the unborn in the womb. You can never think of a population that was more vulnerable and less able to advocate on their own behalf than the unborn. We must, we must, We must. We cannot keep our mouths closed.

We must open up our mouths to advocate for those who are appointed to die. It is so literally true at the abortion clinic. There's a literal appointment on the books for that baby boy or that baby girl to die. Our only other option is disobedience. It's pretty black and white.

We either advocate for the speechless, we either open our mouths for the speechless, or we disobey God. Those are our options. Five. Some closing thoughts on abortion in North Carolina and in the US. Abortion fills in the blank if you're taking notes that way.

Some closing thoughts on abortion in North Carolina and in the US. I'll give you four closing thoughts. Number one, abortion is not the unforgivable sin. There are lots of views on what the unforgivable sin is. I've never heard one person make the argument that it's abortion.

Of all the thoughts that there are, nobody thinks that. In a congregation this size with the very backgrounds that we have, it is almost a certainty that there are women, plural, here who have had an abortion. There was a testimony read yesterday of a woman who caved into the pressures of life. She knew she shouldn't have an abortion, but she had the abortion anyway. Because of the pressures that were mounting.

And she ran from God. And she ran from God until God wouldn't let her run anymore. And then God made her His own. He forgave her sins. All of them.

Abortion and the rest of them. If you're here and you've had an abortion, in the testimony yesterday this person described it as the secret. You might be here and it's the secret. Don't run from God, run to God through His Son Jesus. Abortion can put you on the run.

You feel like there's no way back. That's not true. Abortion isn't the unforgivable sin. Don't run from God, run to God through His Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1-9.

1 John 1-9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. All unrighteousness. What have we been studying in Romans? Christ died for the ungodly.

Why did he do that? Because there's nobody else to die for. Are you saying that sexual sin and murder are not horrific sins? No. I'm simply saying those horrific sins are no match for the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you don't want a scandalous gospel, you've gospel, you've come to the wrong place. The New Testament's the wrong book for you. Number two. Personhood legislation is the necessity and we need to be prepared to advocate for it. What am I talking about and why am I talking about it?

Personhood. The baby in the womb is a person as surely as I am and as surely as you are and until our laws acknowledge that they'll never have the protections that I have and that you have. We need to be prepared to shed blood, sweat, and tears and money to see personhood legislation enacted in the state of North Carolina. It seems to be a political impossibility in the state of North Carolina at this time, as our legislators are currently constituted. When has this ever stopped the people of God?

When has our measuring stick ever been political realities? In every other category we say, just trust and obey God, and he will come and fight for us. I think we should say that here. In the end, we're not settling for anything less than personhood legislation in the state of North Carolina. Currently there are competing legislations being considered to limit abortions to only before 13 weeks or only before six weeks.

The six week one is called the heartbeat bill. Both of those are better than what we currently have. Both of those are woefully short of what we must have. If I had the opportunity to vote for one of them and it was either vote for one of them or the status quo Where it's 20 I would vote for one of them But I wouldn't celebrate for a second if it was passed and signed into law. I'd want to spend that second trying to get in position to get personhood legislation so that our unborn neighbors enjoy all of the protections that we have.

They're not a luxury, they're a right, because we bear the image of God. Number three, The Supreme Court overturning Roe versus Wade is the starting line for us, not the finish line. You've heard me say that before, you've heard other people say that before. Question. Are there more abortions in North Carolina or less abortions in North Carolina since Roe vs.

Wade? It's more Because we're a sanctuary state for abortion, because the states around us have been able to act more swiftly than we've been able to act, and so their people are coming to have abortions here. There are more out of state plates. Our clinics are busier. Before the overturning of Roe v.

Wade, I didn't feel like there was anything on the legislative side that was particularly fruitful. I didn't feel like I should be spending any of my time and energy there. Because even if you could get it in place, there would be an injunction against it that would keep it from going into effect. It would go up maybe to the Supreme Court, and they would strike it down because everything was seen through the lens of Roe versus Wade. Now that's not true.

Now there are actually things that can be done legislatively that would be effective, and I don't think those are fruitless efforts at all anymore. Before I thought the best we can do is to go out on the curb and appeal to women as they go in. Don't do it! Let us help you! Now, I think this opens up the field for us a lot.

Number four. I'll end here. I thank God for our partnerships. Some of them are informal. We have an informal, very informal, partnership with Hand of Hope.

It's the people who bought the house next to the abortion clinic on Jones Franklin Road. They fought for seven years. They fought a zoning war for seven years to get it so they could finally do ultrasounds in the house right next to the abortion clinic. So now we can say, don't go in there, go in there. They won't take your money in there.

They're not here for your money in there. They want to help you. They want to walk with you. It's so powerful to have some place one door over. They don't even have to repark.

Our partnership with LoveLife is more formal. We're doing things with them a couple of times a year, and we did send them some money last year. These partners are not like us in some ways that matter to us. But we continue to meet people who have shed and are shedding a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for the unborn and who are close enough to work with. Close enough to work with.

You wait around for the perfect partner, and somebody who thinks you're the perfect partner, you'll wait around forever. You'll never work with anyone. We've walked away from some partnerships in the past, because we just thought, It's not close enough for us to work together with enthusiasm. We want to be able to work together with enthusiasm. We actually have some partnerships now that I think we can thank God for those partnerships and work with them with enthusiasm with whatever are the things that we might not completely line up on.

Be praying for Hand of Hope. Those people next door, they're out there all the time. We're out there two hours every other week. They're out there all the time appealing to women. Pray for them.

Pray for love life. They're working for churches, prayer walking with churches out to that clinic that we were at yesterday. 40 weeks in a row they're doing this. Let's pray. God, I thank you that on the legislative front things have shifted some within the last year and makes our involvement in legislative efforts so much more critical.

I pray that you would help us to know how to shed blood, sweat, and tears in an effective way. How to spend money in an effective way, who to work with. Do thank you for these other Christians that we know by name, we stand on the curb with every the curb with every other Saturday. The Jans and the Johns and the Pauls. Thank you for I Love Life.

The Beths and the Takeshias that we know now by name and by face. I pray that you would bless these people as they're working to advocate for the unborn. Help us God. Have mercy on our nation. Thank you for not treating us as we deserve.

Thank you for your patience. Please revive our land so that we don't want to do this anymore. Pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
