This past Sunday we launched a new series entitled “People of the Second Chance.”   We showed a video on Sunday about the power of secrets, which is a subject I’ve written about before. I was so proud of Elisa and her willingness to step up and share her story. I don’t know too many people who are brave enough to share this…

I was shocked the other day to read at the current rate, one in three American women will have at least one abortion by the time they reach age 45. Interestingly, 78% of these women report having a religious affiliation.

Anyway you spin the stats here’s the reality, our churches are full of women who are carrying a tremendous amount of guilt regarding an abortion they’ve had. For the most part, the church is silent on the issue primarily because it’s become such a political hot button. However, our silence on the issue (usually because we’re wisely trying to be sensitive), has left thousands upon thousands of women wondering if they could ever be forgiven, which is simply compounding the emotional hell they’re going through.

I don’t know about you but, I’m so happy I worship a God of second chances.
