I have read enough Facebook posts over the past several days complaining about the new videos of Planned Parenthood Executives explaining how they sell fetal tissue, otherwise the body parts of aborted babies. I am growing weary of Christians of who complain, lament, and otherwise post ignorant rav...

What if there was only one rule you had to keep, in order for everyone to be happy and life to be great. Think about it kids, your parents only have one rule. Students just one rule – no dating until your 20! On your job – just one rule. In your home, just one […]...
