Abolitionist Calling - A Call to "Awake My Soul" - PRC Banquet - November 14


What would you do during a period of great injustice? In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that black people, both the slave and the free, were not protected by the Constitution and were not U.S. citizens, denying them personhood. In 1973, forty years ago this year, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, like Dred-Scott, essentially declared that a child in the womb is not a person and, therefore, not “endowed with the inalienable right to life” promised by our founding documents; they are not protected by the Constitution.


Defenders of slavery justified it by asserting that blacks were not fully persons, particularly in comparison to whites. Defenders of abortion justify it by asserting that the unborn baby is not fully a person, particularly in comparison to those living outside of the womb.


A mission field has been created by abortion. It is a mission field noticeably devoid of God’s people. The excuses are numerous and most center around the idea that abortion is a political, legislative or judicial issue. God is the creator, sustainer and redeemer of life. This places abortion squarely in the category of sin and Biblical injustice and, therefore, is preeminently a Gospel matter.


We are living in the most critical hour of injustice in history. We are not allowed to stand by and do nothing. Proverbs 24:11-12 says, “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die; save them as they stagger to their death. Don’t excuse yourself by saying, ‘Look, we didn’t know.’ For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.”


Abolitionist Calling is a stirring call to action that is bound to “awaken your soul” and cause Christians to rise up and act against the greatest injustice in the history of the world. Do we wish to be viewed by God and historians as a generation of Christians whose silence was deadly to the unborn image-bearers of our God? 

Will you stand with us as modern-day abolitionists against the greatest injustice of our time – abortion?


Join us on Thursday, November 14th at Heinz Field’s East Club for our Celebration Banquet. Bring your friends, family members or co-workers to hear this stirring message by Michael Homula, former Director of ICU Mobile.  Bring those who would be willing to stand with us to “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die.” 

Today is the day to rise up.


His for Life,
