Unconditional, Sacrificial, Saving Love

This month, with the anniversary of the now defunct Roe v Wade, the topic of abortion will take center stage in conversations throughout the nation.

As a parent, you may recognize the different ways the culture is grooming your child to accept precepts of abortion —i.e., that truth is subjective, love is conditional, and life has value when "wanted" or "useful." These precepts are painful distortions of love that bear tragic fruit in our culture—abortion, euthanasia, pornography, gender confusion, and the list goes on and on.

How do we counter such lies? Love. There is one truth that cuts through the ignorance of abortion—love—the unconditional, sacrificial, saving love of God.

With this week’s Pray, Grow, and Serve Devotional, have an intentional conversation with your child about the truth of God's love. Teach them the word agape. Explain that sacrificial love isn't a feeling—but a choice! Look at a crucifix together and discuss Christ's willingness to give His life in ransom for ours. Does your child know that God created them to love?! Tell them! Allow the Holy Spirit to lead the conversation.

We never have to be fearful of our culture's lies when we fortify our homes and hearts with the saving love of God!
