Quotes:"Violence is a big problem. Too many children are

dying -- too many children. We must do

something. It will be hard. But the time is now.

You must act. Be bold. Be courageous.

Americans are counting on you."

Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in a statement at a

Senate hearing on gun control.

Testimony:“Then, one ordinary day, I came to Jesus,

openhanded and naked. In this war of worldviews, (my friends were there). The church that had been

praying for me for years was there. Jesus triumphed. And I was a broken mess. Conversion was a train

wreck. I did not want to lose everything that I loved. But the voice of God sang a sanguine love song in the rubble of my world. I weakly believed that if

Jesus could conquer death, he could make right my world.”

- Rosaria Champagne Butterfield,author of The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert

At some point in the past year, the

United States experienced its 55

millionth legal abortion – a number

far more than the combined U.S.

death toll of every American war

since the nation's founding.

Quotes:“When you sin, you can deny it,

blame somebody else, excuse it,

diminish it, hide it, punish yourself…

or you can be forgiven in Christ.”
