THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE
Exodus 20:1-3
"And God spoke all these words:
'I am the Lord your God,

will say, "I feel like we need traditional family values," no
one really defines them.
William Bennett once said that it is politically correct to

Though we say we believe them, can you name them? If you were
