Congressman: I Was Almost an Abortion Victim, Adoption Saved Me
A Congressman’s testimony of almost being aborted and thankful he was not
People often ask me why I am pro-life. I tell them my story and about the wonderful love I experienced from not only my adopted mother, but my birth mother as well. If anyone has a compelling reason to support life, it would be me. Ronald Reagan made a great observation when he said, ‘Abortion... Continue Reading

Why Did God Use Spurgeon?
Gospel transformation is what our nation and the world need most
There is one thing on which many Christians today agree–we need genuine revival. Faced with rising violence, economic recession, and a growing sense of despair, we recognize that our fundamental challenge is not political or social; it is spiritual.
