Do you know that the majority of the adults in the United States do not have a will or other formal estate documents? Some people think only those who are wealthy need to have a will or trust for their assets, but in reality we all need them.

AFLC Affirms Lutherans For Life
At LFL we seek to serve the Lord of Life by equipping His people to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life through a variety of media and people resources. Like other ministries, we do not seek to serve ourselves. But an occasional, “well done, good and faithful servant,” helps reinforce the Holy Spirit’s work through us.
Help in Applying the Gospel to Abortion
The word “abortion” does not appear in the Bible. Yet, God’s Word has plenty to say that relates directly to abortion. Here’s the reason: God’s Word is about life (John 10:10). In a successful abortion at least one life is always destroyed—and many more lives are affected. These are lives—these are people—created by God for His purposes. Physical life is destroyed by abortion. Spiritual life is also greatly damaged by abortion. While the Church is compelled to speak up for life—and the value of all human life at whatever age or condition—the Church also needs to restore people spiritually, through God’s Word, who are heartbroken and who, in many cases, feel what they have done is “unforgiveable.”
LifeDate Summer 2013
The spring edition of LifeDate focuses on the theme “Arks and Towers — Good and Bad Ways to Use Technology.”
Arks and Towers
Technology comes from God. He gave Noah and his sons the ability to use construction technology to build an ark (Genesis 6:9-22). He gave the people at Shinar the ability to use construction technology to make bricks and mortar and build a tower (Genesis 11:1-9). Building the ark was a good use of construction technology. Building the tower was not. Why was that?
Rachel’s Sons: Comfort of Heart for Post-Abortion People
With these words, the prophet Jeremiah (31:15) wrote to describe his fellow countrymen who had lost many sons and daughters in a military attack: ““A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
In Vitro Fertilization – Ark or Tower?
Is in vitro fertilization (IVF) “Ark Technology,” technology used in accordance with God’s will and to glorify Him as was Noah’s Ark, or is it “Tower Technology,” used according to the will of man to glorify himself as was the Tower of Babel?
How Close Can We Get?
When my husband and I realized that having biological children on our own may not happen, we knew that we had some research to do to find out what we would be open to.
