God's View On Abortion

God teaches us about His love for unborn children.

God's view on the abortion issue can be found in the Bible, in the book of Jeremiah, Chapter 1, verse 5:

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."  

In this verse of scripture, we find a reference to an unborn baby being known to God. It should be quite clear that God loved and respected children from the very beginning of their lives, which seems to direct us to the time of conception.

Should Churches With Small Congregations Be Banned?

"Where two or three are gathered together in my name . . . "

It is very confusing and somewhat alarming to hear that some would desire to "disband" churches in these United States with what they term "small" congregations.  It is a fact that most Christians in the United States attend small churches. The problem lies in the fact that it is the "mega churches" who get all of the attention.

Here are the qualifications of different sized church congregations according to USAChurches.org:

• Mega Church: Average weekend attendance is more than 2,000 people.

• Large Church: Average weekend attendance is between 301 and 2,000 people.

• Medium Church: Average weekend attendance is between 51 and 300 people.

• Small Church: Average weekend attendance is less than 50 people.
