Why would God need to adopt us? Are we not God's Child already? Is there something that separates us from God? Why doesn't God just snap his fingers and make everything right? Is everyone going to be adopted by God? All these questions hit to the heart of how God is the God of Life and does what even most people are unwilling to do; adopt rebellious orphaned children. This article addresses all these questions with what God himself reveals.

When Christians Support Abortion
Christians can support abortion in different ways. They may support it indirectly but knowingly through an organization, politician, or political party who advocate for abortion. Or they may outright support it directly. Either way, a Christian is supporting something that contradicts their faith, offends God, oppresses life, perpetuates dehumanization, inequality, and hinders the gospel. This article exposes the Christian hypocrisy and false worship of supporting abortion.
The Women's Rights to Her Body
A fundamental argument for abortion is the Woman's Bodily Rights, or "reproductive rights" justification. The ultimate and most common argument for being Pro-"Choice"
(pro-abortion) is the argument for the mother to decide for herself,
leaving the option for abortion wide open and often suggested and
hinted. But is the Fetus her body? Do rights justify immorality? Is her body really her own? There is a fundamental flaw in this logical when it comes to
divine, objective, universal truth.
LIFE, The Nature of God
One of the most important Natures of God himself is his nature of LIFE. He created life, sustains life, and gives eternal life. Even those whom hate him, he keeps them alive, wakes them up everyday, and will give them a separate eternal life as well. Understanding this Nature of God also helps us correctly see the His desires and Will regarding the issue of abortion.
The Value of A Fetus
As addressed in our article Is a Fetus a Person?, we know that a Fetus is a person. But to dive deeper, we want to understand HOW valuable this small developing growing person is in reality. Is a Fetus of a different value than a grown adult? Are they equal? How can we know? Does the situation of conception justify abortion, such as rape or incest, thus reducing their value?
Is A Fetus, A Living Person?
This is the absolute key issue that impacts all areas of the debate surrounding abortion. Knowing the answer to this makes addressing the issue clear as day. If a fetus is not a child or a living person, what's the harm? It would not be much different than removing cancer or a parasitic growth. BUT If a fetus is a living, growing, person and a small defenseless child... that
would be a moral, ethical, eternal, game changer. But how do we determine this? Do we use Human law? Scientific theories? Do we depend on subjective human definitions?
Jesus' Political Activism
Jesus was very engaged in the local communities; constantly traveling from city to city, town to town, healing and preaching. People asked him all kinds of questions about social issues and expected him to do be this political force and king to lead them into a revolution against Rome and win them their freedoms and rights! But, what happened? What was Jesus political activism really like? What were his focuses of advocacy?
The Choking Thorns
Jesus' metaphor for the seed sown among the thorns (Matthew 13:22; Luke 8:14) is extremely relevant to today's issues of the Western church and the current social issue of systemic injustice. This is a much heated debate that needs to be addressed. How it is addressed and how solutions are sought are key.
The World Changes, The Worldly Hearts Do Not
When reading through the Bible and take note of social norms in the early cultures all the way through the early church writings about social norms of those times; a pattern becomes apparent. A social norms pattern that conflict with God's moral standard. Then, when looking at our modern times and its escalating social norms, we see the pattern continuing. The pattern of child sacrifice and freedom for sexual immorality. But what is at the source of it and what is wrong with it?
Social Justice and The Church
The most recent political upheaval and social climate has revealed issues within society and in the church. Some are condemning the church for not taking a visible stand against perceived social injustices and others are condemning the church for not being more clear on incompatible social norms to Christian living. Abortion, Gay Rights, Racism, and Sexism are the four primary social injustices declared in society of which the church is either being condemned for lack of compassion or being too worldly; but both can not be true at the same time. So what is it? Where SHOULD the invisible true body of Christ stand and declare in regards to these four social issues?
God's Judgement on America
Is America (and other parts of modern society) changing; is it a good change? This takes some spiritual discernment to correctly understand. Those who are less knowledgeable of scripture and less spiritually discerning of sin may say they see good changes world wide, and in America. Taking a step back and looking through the lens of History and Scripture we see that his is not the case, especially for America. And if America and modern society is not changing for the better (moving closer to God), what is going to happen?
