The acid test

Hunter Baker has posted the text of "a simple sermon on abortion." Here's the opening:

The sanctity of life is an acid test for the Christian church. What is an acid test? One way the acid test was used was to distinguish real precious metals from fake ones. Take something that looks like gold and drip nitric acid on it. If it holds up and is not degraded by the acid, the gold is real. Our approach to the sanctity of life determines how we hold up to the acid test. We will find out whether our faith is real as we deal with a culture that denigrates unborn life, especially imperfect life.

Amen.
