Peter Roselle: My Primary Identity Will Always Be: Child of God (Galatians 4:6)
This service was held on 1/17/2021 in Basking Ridge, NJ, in the tenth month of COVID-19 lockdowns and at the end of a contentious presidential election. In general, people were having a very tough time coping with high unemployment, job insecurity, children trying to learn from home on a computer and a long list of other stressful issues. This part of the sermon focused on the power of God’s Holy Spirit to overrule our sinful desires and empower us to serve God more effectively.

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

This is the picture that he gave me for Sanctity of Life Sunday. The picture of a person who's made in God's image is being released - fearfully and wonderfully made. This amazing creation in the image of God is being released into the earth. What happens to that child is partly due to how well we receive that child - corporately, how we receive that child.

One of the reasons this country was founded was to ensure that all people could have a fair shot. We hold this truth to be self-evident that every person is created equal - no caste system, like there was in India - everybody here is going to get a fair shot. Everybody here is going to be presumed innocent until you can prove them guilty. That's a great thing that had never been done before. We have an amazing heritage - some bad stuff of course, of course - nobody had ever even tried this experiment before. 

Here's this little baby that, I'm guessing the one on the top there was born at 30 weeks, might have died 50 years ago, but today they can keep these children alive so much longer. Abortion should just be so important in your mind, especially on the Sanctity of Life Sunday. We have allowed it to become such a common thing in the American culture that we don't even talk about it anymore. 

It's not okay. Not in this church anyway, there might be other churches that say they're pro-choice. I just don't know how you could ever match this Word with that opinion. They're defending late-term abortions or even post-birth – just let the baby die. We can't say we didn't try to do something about it - that's the bottom line. Whether we change it or not, that's one thing. 

William Wilberforce is famous for what he did in England to stop the slave trade. On paper, it was impossible for one guy to make that much of a difference. Eric Metaxas wrote the book about Wilberforce called, “Amazing Grace,” – very powerful example of what one person can do. 

You might think, "Well, what can I do against abortion?" You can pray. Wherever two are gathered in my name, Jesus said, "I'm there with you." And if one puts 1,000 to flight and two put 10,000 you are gaining strength in numbers.  There are 400,000 people going on to the Give Him 15 broadcast from Dutch Sheets everyday. 

If you think we should have been praying for America before the election, we need to be praying even more now. You could just stick with abortion, but you could also change that conversation to the curriculum for our children in school. They are telling us there's no difference between a boy and a girl and the child should pick whatever they want. If you don't agree as parents, they can come and take your child. That's why we have guns. You're just going to let somebody take your child? Six-year old kid that is confused about being a boy or a girl? The school planted the seed in his brain to confuse him about it in the first place. No, that is not okay. Not on our watch church. Not on our watch. 

Romans 8 (AMP) Expressence of God’s Nature
7-8 The mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] 
is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot, and those who are in the flesh [living a life that caters to sinful appetites and impulses] cannot please God.
9 However, you are not [living] in the flesh 
[controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit - if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you…
 [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone 
does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God]. 
10 If Christ lives in you, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides].
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, 
He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 
through His Spirit, who lives in you.
