This sermon emphasizes the sanctity of human life, highlighting the
unique creation of man in the image of God and the eternal nature of
human existence. It addresses the cultural challenges and moral
implications surrounding issues like abortion, calling out the deception
and disregard for the unborn. The speaker challenges the notion of
protecting women's health and reproductive freedom while advocating for
the protection of innocent lives being lost through abortion,
emphasizing the responsibility to speak up against the injustice and
pray for those in authority.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a magnificent thing. The only newly originating life in the
universe that comes in the image of God is man. The only newly
originating life in the universe that lasts forever is man.

This is an awesome thing. And as everyone knows, that reverence is not
shared by our new president, over whom we have rejoiced. He is trapped
and blind in a culture of deceit.

And on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, last Thursday, he released
this statement. We are reminded that this decision not only protects
women's health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader
principle that government should not intrude on our most private family
matters. This, to which I say, no, Mr. President, you are not protecting
women.

You are authorizing the destruction of 500,000 little women every year.
No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom. You are
authorizing the destruction of freedom for one million little human
beings every year.

No, Mr. President, killing our children is killing our children, no
matter how many times you say it is a private family matter. You may say
it is a private family matter over and over and over, and still they are
dead. And we killed them, and you would have it remain legal.

Mr. President, some of us wept for joy at your inauguration. And we
pledge that we will pray for you. We have hope in our sovereign God.
