I'm often offered the opportunity to explain Lutherans For Life with questions like these: "What kind of organization are you?" "What do you do?" "Do you operate pregnancy centers and maternity homes?" Do you arrange adoptions?" Do you endorse and oppose politicians?" Do you lobby legislation?" Do You conduct funding campaigns?" "Do you publish research?" "Do you picket and protest?"
We certainly support all of the above. We hope our labors lead to each of them happening. However, our mission is more of a message. Our business is best defined as delivering a message: Lutherans For Life equips Lutherans to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life. We connect the Christian Scriptures and Lutheran doctrine to our society's life issues —in this culture which uses death as a solution or views it as a salvation. We explore and educate how the Gospel of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection brings unconditional grace, absolute forgiveness, immortality, and purpose to human beings at every stage and in every state, especially under life and death circumstances. We serve as squires and attendants who support the communion of saints by outfitting them to be the operatives that engage these situations in the field and on the front lines.
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth" I Corinthians 3:6-7)
Dear Funeral Committee,
Thank you so much for your kindness and delicious goodies. Your love and “sweetness” certainly made a difficult day much more pleasant.
