Governor, you can say "abortion is health care" all day and it won't alter the fact from which you wish to distract us, namely, that abortion is deliberately killing a living member of the human species--a human being and as such a bearer of profound, inherent, and equal dignity.
From Ephesians 1 & 2, plus some seasoning with Romans 1:16:
Diversity is never the cause; it's always the result.

Well, the men's LifeGroup I lead -- but from which I was absent last night! -- went into over-achievers mode.

You can't fight something with nothing. De-Christianized Europe has nothing. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot on the eve of World War II, for Europe's current moment: "If you will not have God, and he is a jealous God, then you should prepare to pay your respects to Allah and Lenin."
Come Alive Daily for Ephesians 2:11-21 with your periodic reminder that congregational diversity is never the cause; it's always the result: mailchi.mp/e0f03bd55ec4/come… @jonell_shelby @jhaskinscabrera
