“I love pizza!”
Have you ever said that?
Maybe you’re recommending a favorite pizza place to a friend and confidently say, “You’re going to love their pizza!”

Last week, Indiana University completed an improbable journey by winning the national football championship.
When coach Curt Cignetti was hired, IU had the ignoble distinction of losing more games in its 140-year history than any other university. In the past two years, Cignetti and IU are 27–2: Big Ten Champions, Rose Bowl and Peach Bowl winners, and National Champions—culminating in a perfect 16–0 season this year. Continue reading

We are back at the Northside church in Pompano Beach for a weekend meeting. We’re been here many times in the past, but it’s always a pleasure to return and fellowship with these fine brethren. They may be small in number, but they are strong in spirit. Continue reading

“I was 29, I was living in Seattle, I was in graduate school, I was dating someone… It was never a question. I got pregnant, and I was like, ‘Well, alright, I guess I’m having an abortion,’” relates Amelia Bonow in a matter-of-fact fashion.
Today marks the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and abortion activists are working harder than ever to push back against the pro-life movement and to make abortion seem like a simple, normal, rational decision that any woman would make. Continue reading
