A baby's hands at seven weeks from conception (about the age of Sondra's baby).

Gary encouraged the couple to come across the street to the LifeHouse pregnancy help center for counseling. At the LifeHouse, Terri* showed Sondra and Curt a video about abortion. Curt was amazed to see how fully formed a baby is even just a few weeks after conception, and he was shocked to see how babies are ripped apart during abortions. "That's exactly what we needed to see," he told Terri.

Sondra revealed that when she gave birth to her daughter almost three years ago, Curt claimed that he was not the baby's father. Curt's accusation hurt Sondra deeply.

Terri asked "is there a chance that it wasn't his baby?"

With tears streaming down her face, Sondra cried, "no, I've never been with anyone else. He has cheated on me, but I've never cheated on him."

As Sondra cried, Curt said "oh, babe, I didn't know you felt that way. I'm sorry. I won't say that anymore. I know that it's my baby."

Terri gave Sondra a gift for her new baby, and then she prayed with the couple. They expressed interest in being helped by an "Elizabeth League" church group, explaining that they attend a local Catholic church, and have been talking about getting married.

Sondra and Curt hugged Terri, expressing appreciation for her help.

A group of people who appeared to be from a middle-eastern country arrived in several different cars, accompanying a young woman into the abortion chamber. When Terri tried to offer help to the woman and asked her to protect her baby, the man who was with her responded by repeatedly exclaiming a profanity and mocking Terri.

An older man who was a part of this group came in a car which had a bumper sticker proclaiming "Jesus is Lord." Terri asked the man, "is Jesus really your Lord or is this not your car?" He acknowledged that Jesus is his Lord. "Then why are you supporting abortion," Terri inquired, "if Jesus is Lord?" The man did not respond.

The group remained outside the abortion chamber for hours. Several times, the pregnant woman came out of the abortion chamber to talk to the group. Terri took these opportunities to offer help and tell her about the development of the baby inside (displaying pictures of fetal development and abortion on a portable DVD player).

Finally, the pregnant woman and her companion approached Terri to tell her that they decided to keep the baby. "I'm sorry," the man said, "I know I was wrong. Thank you for your help."

Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Confess Christ as your Lord (owner) as you ask Him how He can use you today to spur others toward righteousness and faith.
