What Makes Us Human?
It has been said that we are the sum total of all that we’ve experienced. But, if we have no memory, are we less human?
Wanted: A Model Father
People often learn best by example. Recognizing this aspect of human nature, the Scriptures exhort us to be imitators—of Christ (Ephesians 2:5), of St. Paul (1 Corinthians 4:16), of other apostles (2 Thessalonians 3:9), or of the saints who have gone on before us (Hebrew 6:12). The Bible also warns us against imitating evildoers (Deuteronomy 18:9; 3 John 1:11). We need good models, but good models sometimes are difficult to find.
Cohabitating Seniors?
What is marriage? When do we stop mentoring the truth about marriage?
Being Connected For Life
Nothing is quite so inevitable or constant as change. Nothing is quite so important or treasured as tradition.
The Very First Y4Life Servant Event!
When I started working for Lutherans For Life last summer, one of the first things I wanted to do was to lead servant events for youth. There is something special about taking youth out of their comfort zones and introducing them to service opportunities. It creates bonds of friendship between the participants and has a lasting impact on their future decisions and attitudes about serving others.
Be Trustworthy with ALL of God’s Gifts
Jesus shared this parable: “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come’” (Luke 19:12-13).
The Embryo Adoption Option
One life-affirming option is to rescue those children already frozen (something parents should never do) through embryo (“snowflake”) donation and adoption. To those looking to adopt, embryo adoption offers an alternative to traditional adoption, which many hopeful parents find very expensive and frustrating.
Human Cloning — Watch the Language
An international team of scientists appears to have cloned human embryos for the purpose of embryonic stem cell research. Lutherans For Life (LFL) reiterates its opposition to human cloning. Cloning is not the creation of life by the hands of God, but the production of human life by the hands of man. God creates life so that we might serve Him. Cloning produces life with the intent of destroying it to serve man.
Y4Life and more
“Before this weekend, my perspective was ‘I am not here to judge, I can’t tell them “you’re wrong …”’ When I saw the look on the face of a girl leaving Planned Parenthood, it hit me, ‘this is happening. This is wrong …’ Now I realize that this is crazy, babies don’t deserve this.”
Gosnell Response: Guilty as Charged is Not Enough
Somehow it seems insufficient just to make a statement that Lutherans For Life is “pleased with the guilty verdict in the Gosnell trial” as if it is now over and we can move on.
