TEXTS: Psalm 139:13-16, Exodus 21:22-25, Proverbs 24:11-12
In Week 3 of our series, we consider the plight of the unborn. Thousands of unborn children are aborted each day in our nation. The politicized language surrounding abortion has tempted Christians to remain silent or passive on what scripture makes clear: God is the Author of life. He knits us together in the womb (Psalm 139:13). So how do we think biblically, speak clearly, and act justly for the sake of the unborn?
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
HEAD: QUESTIONS AIMED AT OUR MINDS TO HELP US UNDERSTAND GOD’S WORD.
Read the following passages of scripture. What do each of these teach us about the character of God and the value of unborn life?
Psalm 139:13-16
Proverbs 24:11-12
Exodus 21:22-25
HEART: QUESTIONS AIMED AT OUR AFFECTIONS TO HELP US LOVE GOD
The conversation about the unborn is often emotionally charged. Why do you think this is the case?
Our emotions reveal the desires and motivations of our hearts. As you consider God’s word on the value of unborn life, how does your heart respond? Does your response reflect a heart shaped more by God and his word or by the culture around you?
