Rachel, you raise an important question. Here’s what Pastor Jim wrote in his book, Dispatches from the Front Lines (p. 269):
“Am I saying that we should ignore the evil of abortion? No way! I am merely arguing that pouring most of our energy and resources into a political campaign, such as antiabortion legislation, is a very myopic and irrelevant strategy—if it is not combined with an even more aggressive effort in evangelism.
The first business of the Church is to save sinners; it does little good to save babies if we are going to rest on our political success and let them go to Hell.”

Thank you!

So is it OK to fight against abortion or do we just stop at prayer?
