- 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 / If you’re a Christian, following Jesus faithfully, the question of his validity is well behind you. You’re convinced Jesus was who said he was because of what he's done in your life. To become a Christian doesn’t mean one commits intellectual suicide. Christians know why they believe. The facts are there. The proof is there.

- The Bible is clear about the topic of abortion. God values human life, period. To avoid this fact reveals a weakness in one's view of God. But there's a warning to those who center on one element of this topic. God's value of human life far exceeds those who are within the womb.
