his own image, in the
image of God created he
him; male and female
created he them.
EXODUS 20:13
Thou shalt
not kill!
EXODUS 21:22,23
If men strive, and hurt a woman with
child, so that her fruit depart from her,
and yet no mischief follow: he shall be
surely punished, according as the
woman’s husband will lay upon him;
and he shall pay as the judges
determine. And if any mischief follow,
then thou shalt give life for life.
PSALM 139:13-16
For thou hast possessed my reins
(formed my inward parts, NASB;
created my inmost being, NIV): thou
hast covered me (knit me together, NIV;
didst weave me, NASB) in my mother’s
womb. I will praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvelous are thy works; and that my
soul knoweth right
PSALM 139:13-16
well. My substance was not hid from
thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of
the earth. Thine eyes did see my
substance, yet being unperfect; and in
thy book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned,
when as yet there was none of them.
PROVERBS 24:11,12
If thou forebear to deliver them that are
drawn unto death, and those that are
ready to be slain; If thou sayest,
Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that
pondereth the heart consider it? and he
that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know
it? and shall not he render to every man
according to his works?
JEREMIAH 1:4,5
Then the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Before I formed
thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee, and I
ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.

cause of all such as are appointed to
destruction. Open thy mouth, judge
righteously, and plead the cause of the
poor and needy. (KJV)

all the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge
righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted
and needy. (NAS)
ISAIAH 44:24,25
Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he
that formed thee from the womb, I am the
Lord that maketh all things; that
stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that
spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
That frustrateth the tokens of liars, and
maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise
men backward, and maketh their
knowledge foolish.

hath given me life.

1 THESSALONIANS 2:11,12
As ye know how we exhorted
and comforted and charged
every one of you, as a father
doth his children, that ye would
walk worthy of God, who hath
called you unto his kingdom
and glory.
MORAL RELATIVISM
The idea that “I have my truth and you have
your truth” reigns in western culture.
Abortion advocates claim that “a woman has a
right to control her own body and abort
‘unwanted tissue’.” This is one aspect of
MORAL RELATIVISM.
Another aspect of MORAL RELATIVISM is
homosexuality. But what does the Bible say.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:3
Giving no offense in any thing, that the
ministry be not blamed (discredited,
NASB): But in all things approving
ourselves as the ministers of God, in
much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labours,
in watchings, in fastings;...
PHILIPPIANS 1:27
Only let your conversation be as it
becometh the gospel of Christ: that
whether I come and see you or else
be absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel.
PHILIPPIANS 2:15,16a
That ye may be blameless and
harmless, the sons of God, without
rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom ye shine
as lights in the world; holding forth the
word of life; that I may rejoice in the
day of Christ….

Lord.

And let us not be weary in well
doing; for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not, as we have
therefore opportunity, let us do
good unto all men, especially to
them who are of the household of
faith.
II CORINTHIANS 4:1,2
Therefore seeing we have this ministry,
as we have received mercy, we faint
not; but have renounced the hidden
things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of
God deceitfully; but by manifestation of
the truth commending ourselves to
every man’s conscience in the sight of
God.
JOHN 7:6,7
Then Jesus said unto them, My
time is not yet come: but your
time is always ready. The world
cannot hate you; but me it
hateth, because I testify of it,
that the works thereof are evil.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18
For which cause we faint not; but though
our outward man perish, yet the inward
man is renewed day by day. For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory; While we look not at
the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen; for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are
not seen are eternal.
THE CASE OF ESTHER
THE SITUATION:
King Ahasuarus (Xerxes) is hosting a
banquet as a prelude to his invasion of
Greece in about 483 B.C.
The king and his generals have had too
much OH to drink. The king orders his
beautiful wife, Vashti, to parade in front
of his party. She refuses and is
deposed.
THE CASE OF ESTHER
The king needs a new queen.
Babylon is searched for a new queen.
Esther, in the providence of the Lord, is
chosen to be the new queen.
THE ARCH- VILLAIN, Haman, appears
Haman gets the king to sign a decree
that all the Jewish people will be killed.
THE CASE OF ESTHER
Esther does not know that the Jewish
people are under the decree of death.
Mordecai, the cousin who raised
Esther, sends word to Esther that her
people are to be annihilated.
Mordecai begs Esther to go in to the
king and plead for the lives of her
people.
Esther 4:8
ESTHER’S FIRST RESPONSE
“All the King’s servants, and the people of the
king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever,
whether man or woman, shall come unto the
king into the inner court, who is not called,
there is one law of his to put him to death,
except such to whom the king shall hold out the
golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not
been called to come in unto the king these
thirty days.
Esther 4:11
ESTHER’S FIRST RESPONSE
I LIKE MY LIFE STYLE AND MY
PALACE LIVING; THEREFORE I WILL
NOT GO IN TO THE KING!
I AM LIVING FOR THE BENEFIT OF
MYSELF REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENS TO MY PEOPLE!
MORDECAI, I WON’T GO IN TO THE
KING TO SAVE MY PEOPLE!
MORDECAI’S REPLY:
“Do not imagine that you in the king’s
palace can escape any more than all
the Jews. For if you remain silent at
this time, relief and deliverance will
arise for the Jews from another place
and you and your father’s house will
perish. And who knows whether you
have not attained royalty for such a
time as this? 4:13,14 NAS
“Oh Esther, please, please, you’ve
got to do this to save our people!”
This is not what Mordecai said!
He said, “Esther, let’s get something
straight. God is going to get his work
done. Now He will either go through
you or He will go around you, but He
will get His work done. Esther, do you
want to make God go around you or
will you let Him work through you?”
ESTHER’S 2nd RESPONSE
“I have decided to obey the call of my
Lord on my life and to live for the
benefit of others regardless of what
happens to me!”
“I am willing to sacrifice my palace
lifestyle, indeed even my very life if
need be, to live for the benefit of my
people!”
ESTHER’S 2nd RESPONSE
“Go, assemble all the Jew’s who are
found in Susa, and fast for me; do not
eat or drink for three days, night or day:
I and my maidens also will fast in the
same way. And thus I will go in to the
king, which is not according to the law;
and if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16
WHAT WILL YOUR RESPONSE BE?
WILL YOUR RESPONSE BE:
Whether I live or die, I exist for the
glory of the Lord Jesus Christ!
To obey God is more important than to
save my own life!
I obey God’s Word no matter what the
cost, the circumstance or the
consequence!
WILL YOU JOIN THE LORD
JESUS AND PRAY:
Oh, Heavenly
Father, not my will,
but thy will be
done!”
