"Forty-four United States senators voted to not make infanticide illegal, and every single one of them was a Democrat. I am speaking politically because a political party has sold out, and when forty-four senators would not vote to say that infanticide is wrong and illegal and immoral, they’ve left me, and they have, in my opinion, left Almighty God." -Dr. Ed Young
Last Sunday, Dr. H. Edwin Young, pastor of Second Baptist Church in Houston, preached a compelling Pro-Life sermon. In addition to exposing Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion business, as taxpayer-funded killers, Dr. Young noted that a mother’s womb is the most dangerous place on the planet, dispelling all notions of a middle ground on abortion. Dr. Young celebrated Pro-Life efforts while upbraiding the Democrat party, making no apology for his political speech.
Friend, churches MUST speak out about abortion.
In a recent interview with Church Militant, Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Trey Trainor confirmed that churches and their clergy are not barred from speaking on politics, and more importantly, Chairman Trainor explained that doing so would not jeopardize the tax-exempt status of churches or religious organizations. Trainor spoke with Michael Voris of Church Militant about the way church leaders and clergy have been misguided, perhaps willfully, about mixing religion and politics. Trainor explained that the little-publicized 2017 executive order signed by President Trump effectively blocked the 1954 Johnson Amendment that banned faith communities from certain political activity; the order also prevents the IRS from pursuing churches engaged in political speech.
In a God-rejecting and God-denying culture, proponents of death, relativism, and socialism will fill that deafening silence left by silent Christian clergy.
Yet, even when brave disciples speak out, apathetic faith leaders try to silence them.
Just take Michaella Maniscalo for example, a college scholar in our Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship. Her Pro-Life group, Celts for Life, at the University of St. Thomas chalked life-affirming messages on campus sidewalks last year. Soon after, a furious campus administrator at the Catholic school called the group to his office.
Folks like Michaella, Dr. Ed Young, and more are all standing in the gap. They speak up when church leaders refuse. Will you?
Please join our exclusive Pro-Life Report online tonight to hear the rest of Michaella’s story and what you can do to reprove assaults on truth and Life.
