What does it mean to live in the salvation of Christ?
Living in the salvation of Christ is to have been called by God to faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. To have been justified freely by God’s grace. To now be living in the daily struggle to mortify sin and grow in the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. To endure until the end of life, holding firm to that original confidence. Indeed, to have come to share in Christ and one day to be received into glory. This is a site to find those truths.

Is abortion safer than live birth? Not for everyone
So, I see this chart on an article about abortion. It portrays that the death rate for the mother in an abortion procedure is less than during a live birth. “Safer.” Problem is, they’re leaving someone out of the equation. So I fixed the chart. There are alternatives to abortion. There have to be.
