Why is the question of pain perception in the unborn child important?
The concept of pain is a fundamental part of our humanity, and intentionally inflicting pain on another human being is a humanitarian issue. When the unborn child is subjected to the abortion procedures that induce death, some people may be willing to accept the destruction of life if they believe it is done in a “humane” way. When we can connect to the humanity of the unborn, we naturally consider abortion to be unthinkable. This discussion includes a review of human neurological development and the biokinetics of life in the womb.
Sheila Page, D.O., Secretary, LFL Board of Directors – is board certified in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy and treats a wide spectrum of patients from the newborn to the elderly, including patients with irreversible and terminal illness. Dr. Page has a special interest in children with disabilities, particularly those whose burden of care is difficult and who have been given little hope for a better quality of life.
“The care and protection of the most vulnerable among us is a responsibility I take personally. I am especially interested in treating difficult illnesses, offering a chance for healing and comfort to those who have lost hope. I am a strong advocate of fostering the individual doctor-patient relationship and preserving the integrity of medicine.”

We live in a world full of positive and negative challenges that cause stress. High levels of stress or prolonged stress can exhaust our ability to cope and result in physical or mental health problems. Our perception of suffering effects the way we experience and cope with stressors. As Christians, we strive to maintain hope in the Lord and proclaim Christ to our neighbor in all circumstances, for He promised, “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).
This For Life Live presentation will help you:

Understand how the Lord uses suffering for our sanctification
Maintain hope in Christ’s promises through trials and tribulations
Compassionately respond to those who are suffering
Know what to do when someone feels helpless, hopeless, and possibly suicidal
Be a walking testimony to the value of all human life

For Life Live - a Zoom Event: Gender and Sexuality - Part 1
2020-11-17 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago)
Gender and Sexuality – Parts 1 and 2
November 17 and December 1, 2020
Both sessions start at 7:00 p.m. / 8:00 p.m. These are 1st Come/1st Served with limits of 100 attendees per our Zoom account.
Our culture is wrestling with questions about sexuality and gender. Many of our communities, congregations, and families are struggling with these issues as well. How do our bodies reflect and confess the grace of God? For what privileges and responsibilities has He made us male and female? How does He safeguard these gifts? How can we incorporate and care for individuals experiencing suffering and temptation related to sexuality and gender? How may we speak truth and show love in such sensitive situations? We will be motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will examine instruction from Scripture, engage observations of science, and explore opportunities for servanthood.

CANCELLED: LFL Regional Conference - Orlando, Florida
2020-11-14 08:30 - 15:30 (America/New_York)
ORLANDO CONFERENCE CANCELLED: We regret to inform you that we have to cancel our in-person regional conference for this weekend. We had hoped and planned to gather at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, November 14, but several unforeseen circumstances have made it unfeasible. These include pandemic exposure anxieties, the threat of inclement weather, and insufficient registration. We mourn that our Lord has closed this door to us. This cancellation will allow us to redirect some $4,000 with which our supporters have entrusted us. We intend to invest this in our other equipping efforts. We are planning to post on our website and YouTube channel videos of the sessions our presenters would have shared with us in Orlando. Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences this situation has produced. We pray God will grant us to assemble in Orlando or nearby at another time very soon!

Event description: Speaking the Truth in Love About Abortion – “The Bible doesn’t say anything about abortion.” “It’s not a person.” “My body, my right.” “If it’s illegal, women will die.” “Don’t legislate morality.” “You can’t force rape victims to bear their attackers’ children.” “We shouldn’t judge those poor women.” Let’s look into how we can share God’s grace sensitively, eloquently, and winsomely in response to these and other invitations.

Presentation: Going Gracefully – Assisted suicide has become legal in Canada, California, Colorado, and our nation’s capital. Now Hawaii, Maine, and New Jersey have decriminalized it too. How can Christians compassionately affirm God’s gift of life in situations of pain, impairment, or advancing age? We’ll examine assisted suicide’s statistics and solutions, evaluate autonomy, pain, quality of life, and death with dignity, explore the Gospel’s better way, and offer suggestions for upholding life in congregations and communities.
