Children of God - Christian resources, researched topics, and life-application

1 John 3:1-3
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called Children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are Children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

Abortion
An attempt to prove that abortion isn't something that a Christian could ever consider. The reality of abortion must be realized by the church. It cannot stand around simply debating whether or not it is right or wrong. The issue exists and the church must get at the root of what causes abortion to enter the minds of God's people.
Homosexuality
Homosexuality is an issue that plagues the church and will for a very long time. Many denominations today are dealing with the issues of Homosexuals in the pulpit. The church must face this issue and take a stand that is in a loving manner!
