Sermon: Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)

This past weekend I preached on the issue of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying). While it wasn’t so long ago that I posted on this topic, I was encouraged to post my sermon here.

One of the things I emphasized is that Christians should not determine right and wrong based on what they or society “feels” is right nor on what seems to produce the best results for them or others. Notably, neither of these approaches to ethics require God. Instead, Christians should recognize that God determines what is right and wrong and, therefore, we should always be asking ourselves what God wants with respect to morality.

My sermon begins at the 58:55 mark at this link (or click on the picture below).

If you’re only looking for a laugh today, I may have knocked my notes of the pulpit at the 1:22:30 mark 🙂 . Oops.
