Pastor Joseph encourages the church to be active in today's abortion crisis. God's law is clear about how we should value life. Many have been taught that abortion is safe and a form of healthcare, but if we look at God's word, we find out what abortion truly is. Let's instead turn to God. Let's ask our Heavenly Father to help us turn to Him and stand boldly for life.
