Is it Worth it to have an Abortion?

Is it Worth it to have an Abortion?

I sat for a few moments just staring at the question. Mostly because this is the question, in some form, that most millennials, 15- 26 (or maybe even more generations than we’d like to admit) are asking.

What is abortion?

First let’s unpack, again, what abortion is. Abortion is the ending of human life in its most innocent and defenseless stage.

To get to the precise word that is at the heart of…

Abortion

Abortion is the termination of life inside the womb. We believe that the Bible stands against abortion and the murder of children. As Christians we should approach this topic with care and love and never talk about it as if someone hasn’t had an abortion and we should be sensitive to hold fast to our beliefs.

Depression and Anxiety

http://www.sunlightyouth.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Depression.mp3

by Cory Sullivan

Depression is not always what we make it out to be.

It’s not just about a choice.

Not a character defect.

Not just a spiritual disorder.

Depression is a disorder that your mind, spirit, and even your body.

Telling somebody to stop being depressed is like telling a gunshot victim to stop bleeding. It isn’t…

3.6.2012 - Apologetics 2 Mitchell McGarr 

http://chirb.it/3yy3kG

1: Would you guys admit that life is just silly sometimes? It's the same old thing every day. (Work, school, gym, friends, eating, sleeping.)

2: Do you guys honestly feel like after these two weeks you can defend your faith more effectively? What's something that you learned that you didn't know before?

2.28.2012 - Apologetics  Mitchell McGarr 

http://chirb.it/Fshxke

1: Has God ever personally shown himself to you? God speaks to you daily; you just may not know it. God speaks through His Word, people, your moral conscience. 

2: Don't you guys feel discouraged a lot? You guys can just admit it. Friendships, money, hobbies, food, music, etc are all good things in the right context, but when you aren't trusting in God, life just plain out sucks.

3: Since this Great God is authentic and worthy of trust, shouldn't we give Him our all through prayer, song, loving and obeying Him, and loving and caring for others? 

**I'm grateful for you, guys. God's love never fails and never gives up on us. Even when we're faithless, He is faithful. That's encouraging to my soul and hopefully that encourages your soul. I love you guys, but not as much as Jesus does.

1. What is one of the worst days you have ever had?

2. Why do you think the Proserperity Gospel is so easy for some people to cling too?

3. Why do we think that god owes these things to us sometimes? or why do we feel that god or anyone owes us something?

4. Have you ever suffered in some way (been made fun of. etc...) for being a christian?

5. How does suffering in the name of Christ inspire spiritual growth in our lives?
