For the last 49 years, the Christian community has stood in harm’s way, stock still in the intersection of cultural traffic after government eliminated the stoplight of human equality by legalizing abortion. What is it about the Church’s belief that causes so many Christians to be willing to test the patience of their fellow citizens,
Abortion is a mountain that needs to be removed and cast into the sea. Every year, 40 million abortions occur around the globe, 800,000 and growing in the U.S. If abortion were a nation, New York State would be her capital.

She says to herself, “I need to have an abortion.” She is lost on the storm-tossed sea of a world that calls her ‘free.’ The little rowboat that is her life is battered by the bitter
Remember the time when someone, a stranger maybe, spoke that uncanny word of encouragement? Or the time when you knew God was speaking to you… right to you?

On the other hand, how would a blind man describe the infinite details of that same nightfall, his heightened senses sketching the moment for his soul with details more profound than a seeing person could ever know? Christians, perceived to be blind by
