TAKEAWAYSIf someone in the household is engaged in sinful behavior, it can leave vulnerable members of the home open to spiritual attackWe tend to ignore our kids when they tell us about their scary visions and nightmares, but we should pay close attention to every wordWhen you give dark spiritual entities access to your home, they are free to cross over that thresholdJust because we don't understand covenants today doesn't mean they are not important or aren't relevant

TAKEAWAYSRealOptions is not here to judge women - it's here to help themWe need a message that is woman-focused and not baby-focused for frightened women who need facts to make an informed decisionThe abortion pill can be reversed in many cases if it is addressed early enoughWe are not meant to live our lives in denial
