Why is it important to stand for life in our city, our community, and our nation?
1. Because every human being is created by God and created in His image!

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

For You created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
2. Because every child, born and unborn has plans and purposes and destiny from God.
Psalm 139:16 NLT
You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

3. Because every child, born or unborn is a gift from God.

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
4. Because we are called to be the Voice of the Voiceless

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved.)
WE LOVE LIFE!

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
