Paul "Skip" Stam, North Carolina’s foremost champion for the pro-life cause, spent 42 years leading efforts to protect the unborn and their mothers. His leadership brought about monumental changes, including ending tax-funded and sex-selection abortions, implementing health regulations for clinics, and reducing abortion rates by 25% through the Woman’s Right to Know Act. Post the case Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned Roe v. Wade, abortions past 12 weeks have now been banned in North Carolina.

Today, Skip is bringing his deep conviction and biblical insight to a 30-minute Bible study on the sanctity of human life. This no-frills presentation takes you through both the Old and New Testaments to reveal God’s truth about life before birth. From less familiar passages in 2 Kings to Jesus’ clear demonstration of life’s value, this study is both eye-opening and heart-stirring.

Skip has used these teachings with 4th-grade students, who found them fascinating, and they are equally suitable for high schoolers, adults, and church leaders. With Scripture drawn from the NASB and ESV translations, this is a resource you can trust. (Scripture references are located at the bottom of this email.)

Here’s how you can use this Bible study:

As Skip reminds us, “It is insufficient to avoid the sin of abortion yourself while your society engages in widespread sanctioned abortion.” Now is the time to educate others with a biblical worldview on the sanctity of life.

Let’s seize this opportunity to make a difference for life in this season and beyond. There is still much to do to end the culture of death in America. One of the most important things we can do is to educate the masses about the sanctity of human life from a strong Christian worldview.

God Bless,

   15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully formed in the depths of the earth.

   16 Your eyes have seen my formless substance; and in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.

   20 by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding close to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, so that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.

4. Job 31:13-15, 21-23

   13 If I have rejected the claim of my male or female slaves when they filed a complaint against me,

   14 What then could I do when God arises? And when He calls me to account, how am I to answer Him?

   15 Did He who made me in the womb not make him, and the same one create us in the womb?

   21 If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, because I saw I had support in the gate,

   6 He made his son pass through the fire, practiced divination, and used mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger.

   14 Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones.

   21 The king commanded the people, “Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
