For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling in the nation must be quickened, the conscience of the nation must be roused, the propriety of the nation must be startled, the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed: and its crimes against God and man must be denounced.[1]
Life of the Mother Position Statement
To understand the Georgia Right to Life position, it is necessary to first define what an abortion is. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention an induced abortion is an “intervention performed by a licensed clinician (e.g., a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) that is intended to terminate a suspected or known ongoing intrauterine pregnancy and that does not result in a live birth.”
Legislative Watch: Bringing Newborn Safety Devices to Georgia
We are less than one week from the start of the 2026 Georgia Legislative Session. HB350 is an important piece of legislation that will allow municipalities in Georgia to install newborn safety devices to help decrease the incidence of infant abandonment by giving parents in crisis a safe, legal and anonymous option for surrender of a newborn under current safe haven law.
From Brokenness to Bold Faith: Brian Ottinger
Before coming to Christ, Brian lived an “experiential” life. He spent a decade serving in the United States Navy, working in intelligence, and traveling the world. By his own account, it was a life marked by sin and spiritual emptiness, absent of the truth of the gospel. “The more I pursued my own desires,” he shared, “the more pointless it all became.”
Jerome Lejeune: Where Faith and Science Meet
Dr. Jerome Jean Louis Marie Lejeune was a French pediatrician and geneticist who discovered the cause of Down syndrome. To the secular world, he is known as the father of modern genetics. However, to say just that does not begin to describe this giant of a man among men!
The Disposable Embryo: IVF, Eugenics, and the Loss of Dignity
The dawn of a new era in IVF is here, and with it, human life is being reduced to that of a test subject. The IVF industry is booming, with little regulation and tech start-ups eager to profit. In fact, it is widely known that the minimal regulations in place “are being relaxed to give clinics more autonomy and less regulatory oversight or accountability when performing IVF.”[1]
Stem Cell Research
What are stem cells? Stem cells, put simply, are the building blocks of life. When you were conceived, your body was entirely made up of stem cells. Stem cells can replicate indefinitely, and can become any type of cells, like brain cells, heart cells, muscle cells, and skin cells. Did you ever wonder how your body grew from seemingly nothing?

Euthanasia: What are we really asking for?
At the beginning of February of this year, a couple, both 93, died together. They did not die in a car crash or at the end of a gun. They died quietly, holding hands. This sounds like an appealing “way to go.” If you died with your spouse, you would not experience grief or loneliness. You could live without burdening your family with your needs as you age. All these aspects put this approach to dying in a favorable light.
Is IVF the Way to Go?
For infertile couples struggling to have children, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may seem to provide a beacon of hope. However, there are ethical issues Christians need to consider. According to Genetics and Society.org, “Since August 1991 more than 3.5 million human embryos have been created. Of the embryos created, almost 840,000 were put into storage for future use and more than 2000 were stored for donation. Almost 5,900 were set aside for experimentation.” Embryonic Children Die While GRTL...
