This is from a follower of the page, they have asked to stay anonymous and I will honor that. However I think it is worth reading and it is worth pondering over.
Nine years ago, we looking for a new church home. Before visiting one church, I called to ask what they were about. After a few promising answers, I took a deep breath and asked the question that mattered deeply to me: “Are you a gay-affirming church?” Finesse and tact are not my spiritual gifts. The pastor asked what I meant, said no, however, that anyone is welcome to attend the church, then tenderly followed up in a sincere way that made me trust him immediately: “Why do you ask the question?”
Today, I think another question now belongs beside it: “Are you an abortion-affirming church?” Because the issue isn’t only what a church preaches—it’s what it publicly partners with, think Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. If a church welcomes, funds, or platforms a mainstream prolife organization that opposes equal protection for preborn children while supporting legal immunity for females who murder their child, then the church needs to seriously ask whether that partnership matches its stated commitment to the sanctity of life and still holds to God’s word as its authority of truth. Anyone is welcome to come to my church, but we wouldn’t hand the pulpit to a gay-affirming organization just because it uses some biblically true language. We learned that lesson with Black Lives Matter: a true statement can still come from an organization with unbiblical roots and wicked fruit. An organization that says its job is to protect a baby’s right to life but opposes laws to do that such thing doesn’t mean what they say. Bride of Christ; dive deep into the living, active, equipping Word of God, pray, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into His Truth as you biblically discern if you agree with mainstream church-endorsed groups that murdering children in the womb should be consequence-free for females (Hb1220) and children in the womb denied the dignity of legal protections (HB1212). Be on your guard and stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong; do everything in love and suit up with the Armor of God for the spiritual battle unfolding soon at a church near you.
