Free Documentary: A Storm Comes Rolling Down the Plain

I saw this documentary on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning

It is a documentary on the Church’s response to abortion.

Here’s the film:

Here are my thoughts:

It was really well done.  It feature different abolitionists who are involved with trying to end the abortion holocaust.  While many are from Oklahoma there are others too like Jeff Durbin, a pastor in Arizona.

There is a distinction between abolition and pro-life.  Over the decades there have been some who are prolife that might be seeing the sins of abortion in unbiblical light: for instance there can be the downplaying of abortion as murder.  Or there’s a mentality of regulating abortion rather than ending it.  I’m reminded of the days before the Civil War how some want to regulate slavery more than ending it.  In the same way we see that today.

One of the angle I like with this documentary is the the theme of redemption.  There’s people who are against abolition but later changed their mind.  One example in the documentary is pastor Jon Speed who a few years ago was famous for the documentary Babies are Murdered Here.  Pastor Speed wasn’t against abolition but against individuals and techniques of some with Abolition.  I think for many Christians there needs to be the working out of the truth that if abortion really was murder we need to see those involved with abortion as committing the sins and crime of murder.  And that needs to be stopped.

I also appreciated that there’s the story of a woman who have committed abortion before and there’s the story of Christ’s redemption.  That is so powerful.  I think this documentary did plainly and powerfully make the case of how sinful the sins of abortion is while also offering the power of the Gospel to forgive all sins, from the sins of compromising, fear of man, shame and even murder.  The woman’s father was the one who introduced me to this documentary.  That makes me appreciate what God is doing through his family and also his ministry outside the abortion mill.  A few weeks ago God used them to stop a woman not to take away their baby’s life and even though there’s a language barrier God is working.  I’m sharing this is to say this is not just a documentary frozen static in time; God’s still working.

I watched this prayerfully and hope that my local church congregation can be involved with ministry and evangelism outside the abortion mill.  2020 has derailed some things and focus; but I feel strongly we need to go back to evangelism and sharing the Gospel in one of the most darkest corners in the city that our church is located at.  Pray for us.
