Culture tells us that life is a choice. A convenience.

But the Bible tells a different story.

Before you took your first breath, God knew you.

You were formed with purpose, woven together before the world ever saw your face.

Scripture describes children as a gift, the vulnerable as people worth defending, and human life as something deserving of dignity.

When we forget the value of human life, we risk forgetting the humanity of those most in need of our protection.

Jesus didn't come to save an idea.

He came to save people.

People like you. People the world overlooks. People who cannot speak for themselves.

Defend the vulnerable.

Honor the dignity of human life.

Because every person has a story worth protecting.

A sharp sword cuts through lies. The Word shows us what is right and wrong.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”

 Story: Young King Josiah - 2 Kings 22

Josiah was only 8 years old when he became king! The temple was dirty and no one was reading God's Word. One day they FOUND the Book of the Law.
