Abiding in Christ // Dobbs Is Pro-Life // Declining Church-going

John Piper shows what it means to abide in Christ.  Clear, and spiritually bracing, as Piper always is.


Long, but excellent article here on how Dobbs is not neutral on abortion, but has lots of pro-life implications.  
"Permissive abortion laws, because they inherently treat the fetus as less than a person, lack a rational basis."


Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal: "Why Gen Xers Aren't Going Back to Church."
Highlights:
"The percentage of people ages 39 to 57 who attended a worship service during the week, either in person or online, fell to 28% in 2023, down from 41% in 2020."

"I got into the habit of not going."

"They continue making donations until their credit card expires.... They still believe in a God and live life with purpose but are done with the institutional church."

"Church was an anchor, where it's not anymore."
