An Unborn Life
June 4, 2017
Let me tell you something: an unborn baby is human life. "Oh," they say, "it's not human life." Well, if it's not human life, what kind of life is it? You say, "Well, we're not sure."
All right, suppose I have a machine gun, and I know that somebody is standing behind a door, and I fire that machine gun. That's murder, right? Now suppose I have a machine gun, and I know that nobody is standing behind that door, and I fire the machine gun. That's not murder, right? But suppose I'm not sure whether or not somebody is standing behind that door. Thinking there may or may not be, I fire that machine gun. Am I, then, guilty if somebody dies? Yes.
You see, before I can take that life, I need to be sure of something: not whether or not that it is life, but that it is not human life. If everyone says, “We can't be sure,” then I say—if you're going to err, err on the side of life.
Jeremiah 1:5a says, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee."

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
