About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!

What do they do with aborted babies?

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Steve Simms

Baby bones bleaching In the bright sunlight, Would make the hardest heart, Offended at the sight. But when prenatal bodies Are tossed out of sight; Because we do not see, We’re told it’s alright.
