Sanctity of Life
What our pastors have said about Sanctity of Life, drawn from messages preached across our campuses.
In their own words
“Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday, and I'm so grateful to be a part of a church that continues to prioritize and fight for the lives of the unborn. At Warren, we believe in declaring and defending the sanctity of life, and I want to echo and affirm the words from our senior pastor, Dr. David McKinley. He says this, and it's so very important as the foundation of this belief.”
Corey Baxter · Mighty are the Meek“Sanctity of Life Sunday was established when 11 years after that Supreme Court action, President Ronald Reagan in January of 1984 spoke of the need to have a day to commemorate and to remember and to call our nation to become protectors and defenders of life.”
David H. McKinley · Life is Precious“They stand on the truth of the sanctity of life, guarding life, fighting for life, and fighting for those who are not able to fight for themselves, those who are in the womb. But in that standing on truth, they are extending mercy. They're extending mercy to whoever is in the womb. But also, they also extend mercy. It doesn't stop there.”
Lorenzo Rodgers · The Ministry of Mercy“And it is sanctity of life Sunday. I don't know if you knew that or not. And we're celebrating life today and choices for life, but not only that, we put we have put hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into a Hope Women's Center to not just talk about fighting for life once every 52 weeks, but to dayby day have a center that's ministering to women and helping them not choose death, but choose life.”
· How to Avoid Meltdown“So we affirm creation. Secondly, we affirm the sanctity of life. Human life is not like animal life. Because the Bible clearly says in the book of Genesis that when God made man and when God made woman, that he breathed to them the breath of life, and they became living souls, living souls who need living water to satisfy the emptiness of that soul.”
David H. McKinley · Sufficiency of God“It is the divine creation of God, the Imago Dei, given the very image of God. We believe in gender. We do. We believe in God's definition of gender.”
David H. McKinley · When Light Goes Dark“That's the reason we also right now are in the process of mobilizing to be a part of Night to Shine, a wonderful celebration for God's differently abled to recognize the sanctity of life, the dignity of life, the respect for life. And so from the womb to the tomb, we want to honor life and support life.”
David H. McKinley · How to Avoid a Meltdown“So God created man in his own image. Imago Dei, you have an image that is not like any other animal.”
