By Contributing Writer, Kimberly of Raising Olives As I hear snatches of political discussions on the web, with guests around our dining room table or related to me by my husband, I wonder… When did voting for a man who says he supports killing innocent babies in certain circumstances become necessary, even good, for Christians? […]
By Contributing Writer, Kimberly at Raising Olives I think we all agree that Christians should acknowledge that God is our Lord and Master and that we should desire to live in accordance to His will.
