A closer look at the results of fewer babies.

How should government encourage larger families?

And: What is Reproductive Violence?

It’s not an abortion procedure. It’s speaking out in any way against abortions.

Are these two words, Reproductive Violence, being used by the UN to condemn abortion restrictions?

During the Biblical-Literacy Lesson this week, Mark Lanier discusses: Christians pray in the name of Jesus. Can unbelievers do the same? What does belief require? What does hearing require?

From the Pulpit of Champion Forest this week, Pastor Stephens shares how fire reveals the presence, power, and holiness of God.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Mighty Father, Creator of All,

Look upon your humble servant and pour your grace and mercy into my life.

Father, I take refuge from the storms of life in your sheltering arms.

Make known to me the right path to take as I seek your instruction in my prayer closet.

Father, grant me discernment so I will not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners.

Teach me to know your ways, Lord. Teach me your paths. Search me and know my heart.

Plant my feet on the highway of Holiness, for your Word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path.

And if you grant me tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Jesus Christ, in whose name I pray

Amen
