Why is there such a thing as love?  Why does the Bible talk about love so much?  Why does the Bible say that “God is love?”  Why should any of this matter to me?
Listen in to this week’s podcast to find out.

How does God view the unborn?  Does God care about us before we are born or does He only take notice of us after we are born?  What are the implications of what the Bible reveals about this?  What does this say about the choices we face?  You are invited to enter into the discussion about this.  Listen to this week’s podcast and then add a comment to our site.
