God Answered Prayer

Prayer is vital as we share information about life because God answers prayer. I love to pray and often teach about prayer. I was privileged to lead the Lutherans For Life Prayer Breakfast at the most recent LFL national conference in Chicago. I designed a prayer breakfast PowerPoint presentation that I would love to share with LFL state presidents, Renewal For Life® pastors and volunteers, and LFL chapter leaders. Hopefully you can use it to lead a similar prayer breakfast with your LFL chapter, Life Team, small group, or congregation. To obtain a copy, contact me at kmeyer@lutheransforlife.org.

Frightening Statistics

One in three women in our country will experience an abortion before they reach the age of 45. In the church, it’s one in four. Sixty-five percent of women who have abortions claim a Christian affiliation. For every abortion, as many as 10 people may be affected (partner, family, etc.). Considering the over 55 million abortions since 1973, the number of people suffering from the grief and loss that abortion brings is astronomical.

Unknown to Me, but Not to God!

It has been a year since Cal and I began his last six-month journey on this earth. On June 8, 2011, Cal had a fatty tumor, (lipoma), removed from his hip. Additional tumors were found in his groin area. Exactly a week later, we got the call that the fatty tumor and the tumors in the groin were found to be melanoma—skin cancer. From there the cancer progressed.

Acting Our Age: Priceless!

Every younger generation deserves the wisdom and experience that is most naturally mentored by an older generation. But, in this present culture, we parents and grandparents seem to resist acting our age. Isn’t this rather selfish? If we’re absent from the role of mentor, to whom are we abdicating? What is the price paid by children? Grandchildren? Children in our neighborhoods?

Laying a For Life Foundation

It was a typical Saturday morning in Bryan, Texas. The streets of Bryan, and the neighboring town of College Station (home to Texas A&M University), were full of students and out-of-town visitors, getting ready for another football game and all the festivities that went along with it. But, on one busy street in Bryan, a dedicated group of students from Texas A&M were preparing for a different kind of battle: a battle For Life. In front of the Planned Parenthood clinic on East 29th Street, dozens of children, college students, young adults, and families stood in a prayerful vigil—the last voice of hope to the women about to make the toughest decision of their life. The silence was only punctuated by the sound of traffic, the occasional car horn, and the heartfelt appeals of the sidewalk counselors to the women entering the clinic, urging them to rethink their decision.

Tired of the Heat?

Tired of the heat? Tired of talking about the heat? Then don’t read any further because I am going to talk about the heat. I’m compelled to as it follows me wherever I go. I just returned from fifteen days of traveling and speaking. It started in Lubbock, Texas, and the Texas District (LCMS) convention. Okay, you should expect some heat in Texas. Lubbock did not disappoint—104. But relief would surely come as I headed to Northwest Iowa for the Iowa District West (LCMS) convention. The relief measured only four degrees—100.
