I have been traveling this week with the South Dakota Family Policy Council and Steve Wagner of the Christian apologetics ministry Stand to Reason. Steve has trained 330 people in how to think and talk to others about abortion. We have covered Huron, Aberdeen, Brookings, Watertown, Yankton, Sioux Falls and Rapid City.

Highlights:

If the unborn baby is growing, it is alive. If it has human parents, it is human. If it is human it is precious. 

If the unborn child is not a human life, no justification for abortion is necessary. If the unborn child is a human life, no justification for abortion is possible.

Common ground means coming to agreement with someone whenever possible. It means standing shoulder by shoulder instead of toe to toe. It means finding legitimate points of agreement while holding on to the truth. Common ground means being an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20).  

Friends, talk to people who disagree with you, whether on abortion or anything else- especially in the matter of Jesus Christ and what will happen to them when they die.

Love demands that we find common ground and live as ambassadors for Christ.

Rest in Him, friends!

See you on Sunday, and go serve your King,
