In Florida, if the deadly abortion Amendment 4 is to fail, Christians cannot remain quiet or complacent as they have in years past. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly, it is estimated that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfaithvotes.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Christians who are registered to vote don\u2019t, and one in three American Christians do not vote consistently. If the Church voted biblical values, specifically on the life issue, how might our society and culture be different? This week, we hosted a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lcaction.org\/pastorsbriefing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pastors\u2019 Briefing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in six cities across Florida to educate pastors and encourage them to train and mobilize their congregations and defeat the deadly abortion amendment in Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consequences of an apathetic church are far from hypothetical \u2014 look no further than Ohio, a moderately conservative state, where a radical abortion amendment narrowly passed in 2023, to see how Christians can be the difference between evil being restrained or voted into law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In\u00a0Ohio, a significant percentage of Christians didn\u2019t vote in the 2023 election, but among the those who did vote, roughly 24% of white evangelicals <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/11\/07\/ohio-issue-1-exit-poll-results\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voted<\/span><\/a> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the deceptively worded abortion amendment (Issue 1) that enshrined abortion into the state constitution. How tragic! If the Church had stepped up to the plate and educated, mobilized, and encouraged churchgoing Christians to vote biblically, imagine how different the result would have been. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amendment 4 in Florida, the so-called \u201cAmendment to Limit Government Interference in Abortion,\u201d states in the first nine words that \u201cno law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion.\u201d NO limits. NO doctors. NO health and safety standards. NO parental consent. And taxpayer funding to boot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rightfully <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realJennaEllis\/status\/1824213949291827432\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">noted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Amendment 4\u00a0is the first constitutional amendment in Florida history that actually takes rights <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">away <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from people. An entire class of people \u2014 the preborn \u2014 will be completely stripped of their God-given right to life if this gruesome amendment is enshrined into the Florida constitution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few years ago, Florida allowed abortion up until 24 weeks\u2019 gestation, but now that the radical 1989 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T.W.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decision handed down 35 years ago by activist justices on the Florida Supreme Court has been overturned, a heartbeat bill prevents abortion after six weeks, transforming Florida from an abortion \u201cdestination state\u201d to one of the most pro-life in the nation. If Amendment 4 enshrines abortion into the state\u2019s Constitution, there will be no restrictions and no protections. Decades of pro-life protections will be erased. The Sunshine State will become an abortion \u201ctourism\u201d state and a graveyard for the preborn \u2014\u00a0and the broken lives of mothers, fathers, and all of society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Spiritual Battle of Life or Death<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To win the fight for life in Florida and defeat the radical abortion amendment, the Church must stand in the gap, and pastors must be bold enough to speak out \u2014 from the pulpit \u2014 against the murder of innocents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a dereliction of duty for a pastor to not speak for life and against the deadly abortion cult. There is no greater cause than defending these little ones. Pastors and faith leaders must also dispel myths that abortion is \u201chealth care\u201d and good for women. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The preborn are made in the image of God and have the right to life. Satan is the father of lies, so naturally, he is going to use the well-funded propaganda machine of Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion cult to destroy God\u2019s creation and deceive individuals into believing evil is \u201cgood.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can pastors defeat this evil agenda and stand for life? Urge\u00a0congregants to register to vote and invite a local voter registrar to your church to register people on the spot. Educate them on the gruesome reality of abortion, pray for abortion measures to fail,\u00a0preach the truth that all humans are made in God\u2019s image, and teach that standing for life is a way to love your neighbor and the least of these.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>A Modern-Day Black Robe Regiment for Life <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ecclesiastes 3 says, \u201cTo everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven,\u201d including \u201ca time for war.\u201d In January 1776, Pastor Peter Muhlenberg used this passage and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heritageofthefoundingfathers.com\/article11.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preached<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cIn the language of the holy writ, there was a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cThere is a time to fight, and that time has now come,\u201d and then revealed his colonel\u2019s uniform for the Continental Army under his black clerical robe. He implored his congregation: \u201cWho among you is with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, 300 men from his church joined and so the 8th Virginia Regiment was formed. Pastors like Muhlenberg across the 13 colonies who rallied their congregations to fight for liberty earned the name \u201cBlack Robe Regiment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly 250 years later, we need another \u201cBlack Robe Regiment\u201d in pulpits across America to condemn the genocide of the preborn happening outside of church doors, imploring their congregations to,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the very least<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, vote \u2014 and vote for life!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Have pastors become numb to the fact that roughly a million children are killed every year in what is the greatest human rights abuse of our time? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If so, it\u2019s time to find a different church or parish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life is the right of all rights, and the sanctity of preborn life is close to the heart of God. A Church asleep and apathetic leads to abuse and death, and in this case, to countless preborn lives lost. This is a life-or-death spiritual issue, and silence is deadly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we want to see lives saved from the barbarism of abortion, then the Church must be on the front lines in\u00a0the fight for life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_317670\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-317670\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-317670 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot-467x700.jpg 467w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mat-Staver-Headshot.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-317670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Author Bio: Mat Staver is founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, and chairman of Liberty Counsel Action, Faith and Liberty, Covenant Journey and Covenant Journey Academy.
