[Written by Dr. Chris Peters]
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
-Matthew 5:13-16
For those interested in why our church and denomination have historically been, and presently remain, thoroughly pro-life, here are just a few blog posts from The Gospel Coalition. These posts cover the issue from numerous perspectives for thoughtful consideration. For a more extended written treatment, Randy Alcorn’s book, Why Pro-Life? is also helpful. As always, our pastor and church elders would be more than happy to talk about the spiritual importance of these matters.
