A congregation has no business preaching about tax credits or campaign finance reform and advising its members where they should stand on these kinds of issues. When a candidate for a government office promotes the sin of abortion, God's people must take action to oppose this sin and defend those affected by it. The Church is compelled not just to expose the deeds of darkness but also to be a light to those trapped by the deeds of darkness. The Church's Gospel message of forgiveness is the only source of true hope and healing needed by those struggling with an abortion decision. Abortion is an atrocity that takes the lives of over 3,000 children every day.
Abortion is an atrocity that wounds women and destroys relationships.
To be in favor of such an atrocity is symptomatic of a certain moral view of life that has broader implications as well. The redeemed people of God are compelled to take action in favor of a morality that reflects God's love for life as exemplified on the cross of His Son, Jesus Christ. Abortion is a spiritual issue. Abortion is a sin. The Christian cannot vote for sin.
