From Our Pastor

Our nation is falling into the same pattern. Since 1960:
We have become a nation marked, not by what someone will do to us, but what we do to ourselves.
Our nation is falling into the same pattern. Since 1960:
- A 560% increase in illegitimate births
- A quadrupling in divorces
- More than 200% increase in teenage suicides
- A drop of 75 points in the average SAT score
We have become a nation marked, not by what someone will do to us, but what we do to ourselves.
