JOSH BRAHM SERMON: "Addressing Christian Silence on Abortion" + Q&A

This is the recording of a sermon Josh preached on January 20, 2013 at Free Grace Church in Clovis. Josh addresses two common reasons why Christians don't take a stand to make a difference on the issue of abortion: the concern of offending people, and the argument that pro-life advocates should be focused solely on Christian evangelism. Josh argues pragmatically that pro-life work has actually given him more opportunities for evangelism and than makes a principled argument that Christians should be doing both evangelism AND speaking up for the unborn. Josh closes with some easy things that Christians can do to dip their toe in the waters of pro-life advocacy, and then takes a few questions that were texted in anonymously from the congregation. Q&A Session: "I have a friend that believe that abortion is actually evil, but he doesn't care. He blatantly admits that he is selfish and apathetic but he chooses not to do anything about that. How do you think I could help him to care and deal with his apathy?" "Could you recommend one foundational pro-life and pro-choice text for a better understanding of both sides of the abortion issue?" "I know a young girl who recently had an abortion. What can I do or say to help her that she had other choices?" "What do you say to people who say that the embryo evolved because it has gills and a tail?"
