During my college years I had a friend who got caught up in the hook-up culture. Once she told me that if she ever got pregnant, she would have an abortion. I told her she couldn't, that it was murder. She stated that she couldn't face a pregnancy and would have an abortion.

Lord, If This How You Treat Your Friends . . .
Lord, If This How You Treat Your Friends . . .
By Melanie Jean Juneau

As we've studied in the first three articles of this series ( I, II, III), God’s creation communicates that dissimilarities are profound because differences illustrate love in that one uses his opposing nature to serve the other to complete what the other is lacking while the other does the same in reverse.
