CompassCare is concerned about marriage. The Bible begins and ends with it. That is sermon enough. Historically, marriage is the first of all human institutions and of foremost importance to any thriving society. If CompassCare’s mission is to ‘erase the need for abortion,’ why does marriage matter? Because healthy societies, like electric lights, are only
The undercover videos about Planned Parenthood (PP) are generating a lot of angst for the average American. Many are unsettled and some are downright outraged. And why shouldn’t they be? It is unnerving to think that women’s ‘reproductive freedom’ has grown to the scale of industrialized trafficking in baby body parts. It is disturbing to
The Supreme Court reflected back America’s cultural malaise in law on June 26, in the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, wherein they decreed a new right to “same-sex marriage.” The court held that the purpose of marriage was the emotional well-being of individuals.

“Dad, are dragons real?” My 6 year old son asked me this question in our back yard one evening by a campfire. I looked my son square in the eye and said, “Yes they are.” But before I could explain what I meant tears of fear welled up in his eyes as he ran inside
Rochester, NY—New York Vital Statistics for 2013, published late last week, revealed yet another drop in abortion numbers statewide. Across New York the number of abortions have hit an all-time low since abortion was first legalized in 1970. In the last six years alone (between 2008 and 2013), the number of abortions dropped by 20.3%, including 3.3%
The real issue in our country is not simply one million abortions every single year. Nor is it the unethical abortionist’s mercenary exploitation of a woman’s unfortunate circumstances. The problem is not human trafficking, terrorism, the degradation of the family, or corruptible politicians. Focusing on any one of these burgeoning inequities alone will not create
We are each confronted with facts every day…the same facts, in fact. Facts like the falling price of gas, cold temperatures, and bad television. Those facts often impact decisions like filling up the family hauler for the first time in six years, or deciding to wear an Alaskan parka instead of that measly wool winter
Do you have a New Year’s resolution? Most New Year’s resolutions revolve around health or habits. But how do we arrive at those goals? What is it about our life now that causes us to want to change it…for the better? How do we define ‘better?’ Somehow, we all have an idea of what a
