Is it Worth it to have an Abortion?

I sat for a few moments just staring at the question. Mostly because this is the question, in some form, that most millennials, 15- 26 (or maybe even more generations than we’d like to admit) are asking.

What is abortion?

First let’s unpack, again, what abortion is. Abortion is the ending of human life in its most innocent and defenseless stage.

To get to the precise word that is at the heart of…

Abortion is the termination of life inside the womb. We believe that the Bible stands against abortion and the murder of children. As Christians we should approach this topic with care and love and never talk about it as if someone hasn’t had an abortion and we should be sensitive to hold fast to our beliefs.

A sermon by our very own Lubee on the Demonic influence that is pervading our culture! He takes this lesson from the lesson Jesus taught on the Demons and the pigs.

by Cory Sullivan

Depression is not always what we make it out to be.

It’s not just about a choice.

Not a character defect.

Not just a spiritual disorder.

Depression is a disorder that your mind, spirit, and even your body.

Telling somebody to stop being depressed is like telling a gunshot victim to stop bleeding. It isn’t…

3.6.2012 - Apologetics 2 Mitchell McGarr 

http://chirb.it/3yy3kG

1: Would you guys admit that life is just silly sometimes? It's the same old thing every day. (Work, school, gym, friends, eating, sleeping.)

2.28.2012 - Apologetics  Mitchell McGarr 

http://chirb.it/Fshxke

1: Has God ever personally shown himself to you? God speaks to you daily; you just may not know it. God speaks through His Word, people, your moral conscience. 

2: Don't you guys feel discouraged a lot? You guys can just admit it. Friendships, money, hobbies, food, music, etc are all good things in the right context, but when you aren't trusting in God, life just plain out sucks.

3: Since this Great God is authentic and worthy of trust, shouldn't we give Him our all through prayer, song, loving and obeying Him, and loving and caring for others?
