God is calling the Church to raise up pro-life advocates who are able to influence our culture for Christ, defend the unborn, and provide support to children, mothers and fathers.

As we seek to do good works, including the work to stop abortion, we must lay aside every hindrance, and run with endurance the race set before us, keeping our focus on Jesus.

Let’s be a Josiah generation, who, repenting for decades of tolerating abortion, finally make baby-killing candidates unelectable.

God is calling Christ's Church to rise up with one heart and mind in prayer and action, to overcome the flood of legalised abortion, and to have proper medical care given to those born alive after a failed abortion.

Our nation will only choose life when it can follow a Church that has already wholeheartedly affirmed to live out that commitment.

When we keep our eyes on Jesus’ example of love and on God’s ultimate victory, we can engage in pro-life advocacy with faith-filled hope rather than anger or despair.

Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knew us before we were formed in the womb. This reminds us that each life — whether inside or outside the womb — is precious to him.

God calls us to be faithful, not successful. When we focus all our attention on Jesus — as Peter needed to do — we can rest in him and entrust the results of our prayers and advocacy for the unborn to the one who loves us.

Human worth does not depend on whether we are wanted, healthy, or independent. It comes from our Creator God.

For a long time, I thought selfishness was the root of abortion. But I’ve come to believe that behind selfishness often lies fear. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you and I are not ruled by fear. We are ruled by love.

Jesus’ words are not a suggestion, but a call to action for every believer. When we represent Jesus, when His life is formed in us and expressed through us, we become light in a world that still walks in darkness.

When Moses asked to see God's glory, God offered something better — not an overwhelming spectacle, but a name, a character, and a person to trust.

God is doing a new thing, so we must roll up our sleeves, put our hands to the plough and get involved.

Today is the National Day of Prayer. The theme from Joshua 3:5 is to consecrate ourselves. And contained within the verse is a remarkable promise: “for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.”

The environment you grow up in shapes who you become. I grew up in Canada, playing ice hockey — it's what you did. Similarly, be shaped by knowing our Father’s ways.

Greater clarity and conviction about Jesus will lead to greater courage to share him — and for others to know him. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

In our day, people want to make Jesus smaller. But today let us celebrate Jesus who is supreme. He is the greatest above all others. He has no rival or equal. He is the king of creation and reconciliation.

Hearing and receiving the word generate action. Together, by the grace of Christ, they open the way for his presence to break through — and for his word to touch others and produce lasting fruit. Only the received word becomes fruitful.

The responsibility for nurturing new believers does not rest with one or two designated church leaders or in any particular church structure. It rests with all of us.

What if the Church celebrated Pentecost with the same fervour as Christmas and Easter — gathering, praying, expectant for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit?
