Lecrae and two of my favorite old white guys

With the Roe v. Wade anniversary one week away, I’m about to ask you to do something that I rarely do: Watch a 37-minute video. (That’s about 30 minutes longer than those I might click on.)

The video (embedded below) is of a terrific three-way discussion: hip-hop artist Lecrae, pastor John Piper, and pro-life pioneer John Ensor. In it Lecrae describes his tragic abortion experience and the two great old white guys speak of abortion as an issue young pastors like to dodge, since talk about race and justice is fashionable and talk about abortion is not. (Ironically, some pro-aborts consider abortion a justice issue in a different way—they say it’s unfair that women are stuck with a pregnancy and men walk away.)

Along the way, Ensor presents useful stats about how the pro-life cause is slowly winning: fewer abortions in America, fewer surgical abortion venues, more pro-life pregnancy resource centers. He also points out how pro-aborts target African-American and Hispanic unborn babies. And Lecrae expresses confidence that the convicting but cleansing and transforming grace of God is available to all through Jesus Christ.
