Abortion in Jesus’ name

They never saw it coming

John, After taking office in January, the most pro-abortion government in U.S. history wasted no time rolling back protections for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies. The abortion industry had waited decades for this moment--the opportunity to …

Sin

John, Abortion is many things, but at its worst, it is a sin. My sins, your sins, and the sins of the entire world are what crucified Jesus Christ... ...and are the reason for this week -- the week that changed the world. Sin is not a popular…
