Anchored NorthDo Aborted Babies Go to Heaven? - By Pastor John MacArthur
"I just don't understand the road God is taking me down. I'm struggling with the loss of my child. I'm struggling with God."
These are the thoughts of someone wresting with the realization of a lost child. Perhaps these are thoughts you've had. In all reality, there are few things more heartbreaking than the death of the unborn, the stillborn, or the young child. When grief beyond understanding strikes, where do we place our trust? We need to trust in the Word of God.
In 3 minutes, this video tract with Dr. John MacArthur walks through the Scriptures to give an answer that is Biblical, comforting, and hopeful.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Even if you have done terrible things, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.
You don't know which day will be your last. Today is the day to repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ.

Why won't our family heal those in our lives who are sick? Why does God need our money to heal?
This began a journey that brought Costi out of Benny Hinn crusades into biblical Christianity.
In a majestic and mournful moment, Costi finally understood the true gospel and the tragedy of his uncle's teachings.
The promise of prosperity theology is that Jesus gave His life so that we can be healthy, wealthy, and happy. This is a message that not only deceives; it damns.
Now Costi is committed to proclaiming Jesus as He is revealed in Scripture. Only the biblical gospel saves. His story serves as a powerful catalyst to lead people out of prosperity theology and into a living relationship with Jesus.

Although he loved his nation, he saw no hope for himself. He decided to end his life.
When he was about to commit suicide, he became convinced to give the world one last chance. That week, his friend’s family ended their dinner prayer: "B'shem Yeshua (In the name of Jesus)."
He was shocked.
Why pray in the name of Jesus? Jews believe in the God of Israel. Is God not enough?
Over two thousand years ago, the people of Israel were worshipping the God of Israel in the Jerusalem temple. Amid tragic circumstances, all of their writings and prophets pointed to one thing: the hopeful, anticipated arrival of Israel’s Messiah.
It is written: • He will come through the seed of the woman (Gen 3:15). • He will come through the line of David (2 Sam 7:10-13; Ps 132:11b). • He will come from the town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). • He will be born of a virgin (Is 7:14). • He will be called “Immanuel” (Is 7:14). • He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Is 9:6c). • He will bring good news to the afflicted (Is 61:1-3). • He will serve as a channel of divine blessing to the world (Gen 12:1-3). • He will die as a substitutionary sacrifice for guilty sinners to provide forgiveness and salvation (Is 53:1-12; Zech 3:9). • He will be resurrected from the dead (Ps 16:10). • He will come again in judgment upon the nations (Is 63:1-6). • He will build the Temple of the Lord and rule on His throne as Priest (Zech 6:12-15). • He will reign in perfect peace, justice, and righteousness as King over the entire earth (Gen 49:10; Num 24:17-19; Ps 2:6-12, 110:1-7; Is 9:6b-7, 11:1-16, 42:1-4; Jer 23:5, 33:14-2; Zech 9:10). • He will unify and restore the nation of Israel (Ezek 36:16-38, 37:15-28). • He will feed and protect Israel as her divine Shepherd (Ezek 34:23-31, 37:15-28). • He will bring salvation to Israel and reign over her as King (Is 49:5-6a; Micah 5:2; Jer 23:5-6, 30:21, 33:16; Ezek 37:15-28). • He will be given glory and everlasting dominion over all the nations of the earth, and His kingdom will be established forever (Dan 7:13-14; 2 Sam 7:10-13; Ps 132:11b).
Jesus Christ is this Messiah, and He is all over the Jewish Scriptures.
If you are struggling with seeing Jesus as the Messiah, our hearts go out to you. We lovingly want you to know that Christ has not come to abolish everything you know but rather to fulfill it.
The house of Israel must know for certain that this Jesus whom the Jews crucified, God has made Him both Lord and Christ. Run to the Messiah and be saved in this life and the life to come. Today is the day of salvation.

After rising to the top and winning everything there was to win, his attention soon turned to alcohol, ecstasy, and whatever else could satisfy him.
One early morning, he realized something was seriously wrong with his heart. He knew immediately that his addiction had taken him too far…
Narcotics have become a "savior" to our generation, promising temporary joy, pleasure, intimacy, and relationships with others. Individuals, families, and communities throughout the world are struggling to fill empty voids. In hopeless desperation, millions turn to drugs and alcohol to escape life's pain and suffering. These silent killers are affecting every one of us. Chances are, you know someone who has been directly impacted by alcohol or drug addiction.
Despite what AA, rehabs, and modern psychology teach, addiction is not a disease that needs to be cured. It is a sin that needs to be repented of.
If you are struggling with addiction, our hearts go out to you. We lovingly want you to know that it’s time to stop focusing on RECOVERY and start focusing on REDEMPTION. Turning from drugs will change your behavior, but it will not change your heart or make you right before God.
The only way to truly experience forgiveness and a change of heart is to turn to Jesus Christ. He took the excruciating penalty for man’s sin on a cross, bearing the wrath of God on our behalf. However, it didn’t end there. He resurrected from the dead, and now He continues to resurrect people everywhere from spiritual death to spiritual life. This is called being “born again,” and it results in a new desire and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to turn from evil and walk in the ways of the Lord.
Run to Jesus and be saved from harming yourself in this life and the life to come. Today is the day of salvation.

Emily spent 7 years living out her same-sex attractions while being outspoken about God’s acceptance of her lifestyle. After her engagement with her female partner ended, she was invited to a Bible study. This weekly examination of the holiness of God challenged her day after day until her life completely changed. It is a powerful testimony that calls the homosexual community not to heterosexuality but to holiness.
Emily’s story lovingly addresses the heart of the matter: that homosexuality is only one sin among many that manifests itself within a sinful heart. Only by the grace and mercy of God can we be transformed.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like Emily, even if you have sinful desires and affections, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate. God is rich in mercy and full of great love, and He provided a way out. The narrow road to salvation requires that you call sin what it is, repent of it, and trust that Christ’s death and resurrection is sufficient to atone for the punishment you deserve.
If any man is in Christ, he is a NEW creation. Unless this happens for you, your sinful desires will always drive your actions and shape your interpretation of Scripture. As culture influences the church, even Christians are deceived on this topic. However, for the person who claims to be gay and a Christian, understand that it is not possible for Christians to remain in willful, unrepentant sin. 1 John 3:9 says, “No one who is born of God makes a practice of sin, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.” God's message has always and will always involve crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires and living for Christ.
This video tells the story about EZ's search for status and acceptance. From joining the Crips gang at fifteen years old to signing highly coveted contracts with the rap industry's top producers, there was nothing he wouldn't do to "be cool."
As you watch this testimony about God's transforming grace, be reminded of the 1 million plus juvenile gang members in the U.S. Many of these juvenile gang members are said to have the highest involvement at 14. These are children who join gangs in search for protection from bullies, for family bonds they aren't experiencing at home, and for purpose in life.
These children must come to know their worth as humans made in the image of God. They must understand God's moral standards. They must grasp His grace through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ – before it's too late.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like EZ, even if you have done things you regret, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.
Becket spent over 25 years pursuing the desires we all desperately want as human beings: relationships, love, intimacy, support, and affirmation. Undeniably, these desires had a unique grip on his heart that was incomparable to any other desire. They carried with them emotions that vastly impacted his will, intentions, and actions and became a unique part of his identity.The problem with this is that he was not created to have an identity rooted in sexual orientation or human relationships. No one is. We were created to have an identity rooted in God. If that's off, all of our desires are off and we find ourselves chasing things that we were never supposed to pursue. Homosexual relationships are one of those things. It stands contrary to God's moral will for mankind. But we don't have to stand as enemies of God. Through Jesus Christ, there is hope for new life. There is hope for salvation.
Becket's story portrays this truth with such kindness and from an intimate understanding of your life experiences, thoughts, and desires. May you see his love for you, God's love for you, as you watch it.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like Becket, even if you have found your identity in worthless things, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.
After watching his father radically transform from drunkard to born-again Christian, Jimmy was lead to the Lord. His life in India, a nation where only 3% of the population are Christian, would never be the same. Through putting His trust in the one true God, Jesus Christ, Jimmy began to notice a love for God and for the people of India unlike ever before.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like Jimmy, even if you have done terrible things, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.
You don't know which day will be your last. Today is the day to repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ.
After being raped and impregnated in her own home, Elise gave birth to a beautiful daughter that changed her life forever. Despite the rape pregnancy, Elise experienced the grace of God through the gift of children and it enabled her to extended forgiveness towards her rapist. This is the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.
Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like this rapist, even if you have done terrible things, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.
You don't know which day will be your last. Today is the day to repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ.
Do you ever think about the bad things you've done in your life? After organizing a heist to steal hundreds of jeans, Mark's plans were abruptly impeded and changed. Once he reflected upon and understood the evil intentions of his heart, Mark called out to the Savior, Jesus Christ. God graciously transformed him and gave him the free gift of everlasting life.
Christ's intervention in Mark's life made him a new creation and saved him from a terrible fate. If you are broken over your sin, you can get right with God by confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.
You don't know which day will be your last. Today is the day to repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ.
