How evil do you consider abortion to be? Learn more about this in Rev.M.McGeown's "All Around Us" article: "Abortion: the Culture of Death."

Do you have teenagers that date or court? Then as parents and as teens you should take the time to read Rev.G.Eriks' article on "Dating for God's Glory" (the first of more to come!).
