They are speechless to plead their own cause and helpless to protect their own lives. So it is our responsibility to do for them what they cannot do for themselves. John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org January 8 How many young people are hurt, angry, and resentful that their parents robbed them of their siblingsbrothers and sisters they would have grown to love and who would have supported them throughout their lives? May God give them the grace to forgive one more painful fruit of the abortion culture and give us the courage to stand against this practice in whatever way possible. Rev. Don Richman, LFL International Representative A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org January 15 Unless we recognize that each individual is irrepeatable and valuable by virtue of simply being conceived human, we cannot begin to talk about human rights. This includes the right to be born True justice should be for each human being, visible and invisible, young and old, disabled and able, to enjoy fully their right to life color, sex, intelligence, economic circumstances, physical or mental disability should not be used as an excuse to deprive a person of life. Dr. Margaret Ogola, award winning author, medical doctor, human rights advocate, Kenyan pro-life humanitarian A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org January 22 It is settled law, [columnist Paul] Greenberg said, quoting defenders of legal abortion. Another generation, though, he reminded us, was toldDred Scott v. Sandfordwas settled law. But, Greenberg protested, no good cause is forever lost. Because, he added, no cause is forever won in this world. Its the nature of politics. Its the nature of life. From a column by Kathryn Jean Lopez, editor-at-large, National Review Online A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org January 29 Men, women, and children all have the same stake in the sanctity of life, because all have the same lifeknitted together by the Father and embraced by the outstretched arms of the Man, Jesus Christ. Carl C. Fickenschner II, associate professor of pastoral ministry and missions and dean of certification and pastoral education, Concordia Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org February 5 We need to provide much more support for overburdened motherspersonal, financial, social, and medical supportboth before and after their child is born. We need to ensure that children who may be unwanted and unloved by their parents will be welcomed and loved by others in society and especially by the Church. John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org February 12 Humanity is very gifted at comparing the values of various objects, but we must not carry over that pride into the judgment of life. We dont get to be life connoisseurs, claiming to know what life is worth tryingand what life is not. Children with disabilities will know life differently than you and I, but their lives are not worth less than our own. Lucy Lefever, Capitol Resource Institute A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org February 19 Every child is a wanted child, so no mother needs to feel like abortion is her only option. You might think thats an obvious truth. Its not. Less than two percent of single women facing unplanned pregnancies chose adoption. Far too many chose abortion adoption is always a better choice than abortion. Please share this important message, so more babies can grow up knowing they, too, are wanted. Bradley Mattes, executive director, Life Issues Institute A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org February 26 I pray that as you move through Lent toward that empty tomb, that you will contemplate the awful price Jesus paid for you. I pray that you will rejoice and live in the victory Christ has purchased and freely gives. I pray that you will share the message of the value this gives to every human being. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org March 4 From the time of conception to the hour we leave our mortal bodies, God is intimately involved in planning out who and what we are to be, assembling us together, growing us, guiding us, correcting us, forgiving and restoring us as needed, until we become all that He has in mind for us. Gaylan Mathiesen, Ph.D., professor of mission and evangelism, Lutheran Brethren Seminary, Fergus Falls, Minnesota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org March 11 What does it say to our neighbor when in our own families we care for our elderly, become foster parents, adopt children, care for the handicapped, or carry through with an unplanned pregnancy? What does it say to our community when in our churches we care and pray for each other, offering families respite care, visit nursing homes, or provide for the needs of pregnant women? It says that we are truly For Life because we are living it. Diane E. Schroeder, president of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org March 18 A woman who faces the reality of her abortion is in need of someone else whom God has named. That person is you. It is me. We are friends. Comforters. Encouragers. We are imitators of the Good Shepherd who walks beside the heavy-hearted through a dark valley toward goodness and mercy. A mother who mourns the loss of her child needs a Good Shepherd (John 10:1-18). Linda D. Bartlett, www.titus2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org March 25 God entered the darkness of a sinful world in the darkness of a womb. Jesus body was knit together therea body necessary to live a holy life on our behalf, a body necessary to bear the yoke and burden of the punishment for sin upon a cross, a body necessary to be placed in a tomb and rise again in victory over sin and death. Baptized into this death and resurrection, God declares us holy and joyful victors! Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org April 1 How very important for Christian mothers and fathers to raise their children in the Lord, not only that they might gain saving faith, but also that they might use their gifts and talents for service in Gods kingdom and for the glory of His holy name. Rev. Mark Gullerud, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Bowdle, South Dakota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org April 8 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. What gives meaning to these words? It is the Easter story of Christs resurrection. He lives and walks with me. We know this is no sentimental thought, but an objective truth that God is God, and He uses this verse to comfort His children. Because He lives, we can face tomorrow with confidence. Rev. Homer Larson, speaker on the Christian Crusaders radio program A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org April 15 [U]ntil we pass onto the next life in which we will be perfectly united with Jesus, we will need to continue to rely on our Good Shepherd to help us when the going gets tough. The 23rd Psalm assures us that we can trust Him to provide us with the strength to endure the toughest of circumstances. He comforts us and gives us hope as we experience Gods generous provision. Rev. Richard Mau, Face to Face radio program (Australia) A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org April 22 This exemplary devotion to Gods kingdom [by Hannah in 1 Samuel 1] draws our attention to a very special purpose of Christian parentsraising children in the Lord. If each succeeding generation of lost and condemned sinners is to learn of their Savior, it is paramount that there be Christian witnesses who testify to others of the saving truths of God. Rev. Mark Gullerud, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Bowdle, South Dakota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org April 29 A mother need never fear children that seem inconvenient or strip her of her freedom. Like Jesus, she can welcome a little child (Mark 10:14). And, when a mother grieves because she aborted her child in a moment of fear, she can look to Jesus the Savior who hears her cry of repentance and welcomes her into His waiting and forgiving arms. In Jesus, she is free to love and defend the blessing of life. Linda D. Bartlett, www.titu2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org May 6 We often address the life issues based on the Fifth Commandments prohibition of murder or on the First Article and Gods creation of life. But the Second Article raises the value of my life and the reasons I should value other lives to an incomprehensible level. Mistreat human life and you mistreat something very special to Jesus Christ. He paid for it. Mistreat life and you mistreat Jesus. He owns it. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org May 13 Thank God for His gift of Christian motherhood, because those who have been blessed through it enjoy priceless spiritual treasures and are given the privilege of serving the Lord in His kingdom. Rev. Mark Gullerud, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Bowdle, South Dakota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org May 20 It is lack of imagination, not pity, which causes doctors to dismiss the lives of disabled babies as not worth living disabled children, like every other child, has the right to life. Alison Davis, No Less Human, Society for the Protection of Unborn Children A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org May 27 Lord, guard and guide the men who fly, And those who on the ocean ply; Be with our troops upon the land, And all who for their country stand: Be with these guardians day and night, And may their trust be in Thy might. Author Unknown, 1955 A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org June 3 The life issues present us with opportunities to point people in the right way, the way of Jesus and the truth of His Word. The life issues present us with opportunities to bring Jesus and His compassion to people who are hurting and struggling. The life issues present us with opportunities to bring people to Jesus and the healing and restoring message of His salvation. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org June 10 [W]hen a man remembers Gods call to headship, he is able to make a positive difference. A man makes a difference when he guards the virtue of his girlfriend, remains true to his wife, or engages faithfully as a father. Linda D. Bartlett, www.titus2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org June 17 Just as our children are part of us, and we are part of them, so our heavenly Father is part of us, and we are part of Him. As we celebrate Fathers Day this year, we can spare a thought for our Heavenly Father. Better still, spare Him a prayer. Say thank you for all the blessings we have, and ask Him for whatever you need. He will only give you the very best. Rev. John Henderson, Face to Face radio program (Australia) A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org June 24 No matter what we have done (or failed to do); no matter if weve chosen, performed, or defended an abortion, we need to acknowledge our sin. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise (Psalm 51:17). With His forgiveness, Christ sets us free to move outward into the lives of otherswith hope. Linda D. Bartlett, www.titus2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org July 1 When we call things like abortion or embryonic stem cell research or assisted suicide political issues and avoid talking about them in church, our silence speaks loudly. Our silence allows the destruction of human beings who belong to God. He paid a price for them and won a victory for them. Thus, our silence insults Him. We need to speak for them. We need to speak for Him. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org July 8 One of the major signs of decadence in the Roman Empire was that its unwanted babies were exposed, that is, abandoned to die. Can we claim that Western society is any less decadent because it consigns its unwanted babies to the hospital incinerator instead of the local rubbish dump? Reverence for human life is an indispensable characteristic of a humane and civilized society. John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org July 15 Children need to see father and mother not competing with one another, but complimentary of each other. Two are better than one though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand hima threefold cord is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). God, a man, and a woman. This threefold cord is for the benefit of allincluding children and grandchildren! Linda D. Bartlett, www.titus2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org July 22 God has blessed us with the gift of ministry and the gift of purpose. He has called us to defend His precious children, the unborn, disabled, and the elderly. Let us not shrink from that calling, but be more forward working now while we can, praying, planning and working to carry the torch of life into the future until the victory is finally won! Diane E. Schroeder, president of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org July 29 There are many perspectives from which to view adoption. Perhaps we Christians will find needed strength and encouragement and hope when we view it through our adoption by God in Christ. Apart from Christ, all His children are adopted. He must know something about it! Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org August 5 What would happen if each of us prayerfully purposed to tell at least one soul each day that Jesus is the One who has made us, who cares for us, who died and rose again for us, who blesses us with both physical and spiritual blessings, and who longs to live in a personal relationship with us? The Word calls us so to go and tell. Pastor Jerry Moan, New Testament professor, Association Free Lutheran Theological Seminary, Plymouth, Minnesota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org August 12 Rocks beg to be thrown. And the Gospel begs to be shared. And just as a rock thrown into a calm lake causes ripples that keep going and going, when the Gospel is shared, it causes ripples, which spread from person to person, generation to generation. Rev. Peter Meier, assistant to the president: missions, Minnesota South District (LCMS) A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org August 19 You can be a voice of prayer praying for our Church, our country, hurting people. You can be a voice of service reaching out to those who need an encouraging word, a helping hand, a comforting presence. You can be a voice of education helping others understand how Gods Word of truth and grace connects to the life issues. You can be a voice of witness pointing people to the true source of rescue. You can be an activist voice participating in Life Chains, Marches for Life, and prayer vigils. You can be a political voice practicing Christian citizenship and bringing your influence to bear through the political process. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org August 26 Abortion drops a name placed upon a unique and treasured person. It is a name known by God before all eternity for all eternity. It is a name of a boy or girl who would have impacted this world in ways well never know. Abortion drops a name from a teachers grade book; from 4-H or Boy Scouts or Junior Olympics; from schools of music, agriculture, or medicine; from the consumer index and first-time home ownership; from the tax rolls; from marriage, parenthood, and genealogies. Abortion drops a name from baptism, confirmation, and the mission field. Linda D. Bartlett, www.titus2-4life.org A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org September 2 When we care for orphans, through adoption and foster care, and through other kinds of ministries to orphans, when we advocate for children whose lives are in jeopardy through abortion and through other ways, what we are recognizing is that we are doing so as ex-orphans ourselves who have been rescued through the Gospel. And we are also recognizing that when a child is adopted into a family there is a real family formed there. Dr. Russell D. Moore, author of Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org September 9 Respect for those who are older, respect for those who are younger, and a determination by all concerned to love and care for each other as God loves and cares for usand all of this generated out of reverence for God. Its then that grey hair is a crown of splendor, and as one translation of the Bible puts it, the award for a God-loyal life (The Message). Rev. Trevor Keller, Face to Face radio program (Australia) A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org September 16 It can never be in societys best interests that anyone should be killed because they are ill, or that the health service should be turned into a death service [W]hatever public opinion may say, doctors have an overriding duty to an ethical code that says first do no harm. Melanie Phillips, British columnist A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org September 23 All your sinsoriginal sin that condemns even the seemingly innocent baby, sins of sex outside of marriage, the sin of having an abortion, the sin of leaving women in the helplessness and despair that leads to abortion (thats the sin of all of us who havent done everything we could to help!)all our sins were forgiven when Jesus reached out His arms for you on the cross. You are forgiven! Carl C. Fickenschner II, associate professor of pastoral ministry and missions and dean of certification and pastoral education, Concordia Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org September 30 [W]hen a child is adopted into a family there is a real family formed there. Our entire Gospel is at stake in that recognition because there is no such thing as an adopted child, only children who were adopted. Adopted in the New Testament is a past-tense verb, not an adjective. Dr. Russell D. Moore, author of Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org October 7 How can we speak of the termination of a pregnancy when what we really mean is the destruction of a human life? How can we talk of therapeutic abortion when pregnancy is not a disease needing therapy and what abortion effects is not a cure but a killing? How can we talk of abortion as a kind of retroactive contraception when what it does is not prevent conception but destroy the conceptus? We need to have the courage to use accurate language. Abortion is feticide: the destruction of an unborn child. It is the shedding of innocent blood, and any society that can tolerate this, let alone legislate for it, has ceased to be civilized. John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org October 14 My trust for real change is in the LORD. He changes hearts, and we need a lot more changed hearts before we will ever get changed laws. We need a lot more changed hearts so we can get a lot more pro-life champions. We need a lot more changed hearts so we can get our priorities in their proper place. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org October 21 God created human life. He, therefore, gets to set the rules. And no matter how many times man redefines human life, Gods truth doesnt change. The Bible should be the foundation for our thinking in every area. Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell, Answers in Genesis A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org October 28 Many view abortion as a purely political issue that we shouldnt be talking about. The devil loves that kind of thinking. For if we never talk about the idolatry of abortion, we abandon those who have been vanquished by it to the dark hopelessness of their sin. Those vanquished by abortion never hear that God has restored them, along with all sinners, as joyful victors. Rev. Dr. James I .Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org November 4 [W]e make a grave mistake if we think just electing leaders whom we label pro-life is somehow a pro-life mandate that will bring sweeping changes protecting the unborn from the daily slaughter of abortion. That did not even happen when all three branches of our government were pro-life. We dont need just pro-life politicians. We need pro-life champions who will promote the priority of protecting innocent children even over the priority of protecting pocketbooks. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org November 11 It is no good referring to a child as an embryo or a fetus. It is still a child and its abortion is still murder. We are told that we must be pro-choice (another disguised name), but what is this choice: to murder or not to murder? In reality, there is only one choice. It is not pro-life or pro-choice, it is pro-life or anti-life. Archpriest Andrew Phillips, Russian Orthodox Church, Colchester, England A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org November 18 It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence ofAlmighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, andhumbly toimplore His protection and favors. George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789 A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org November 25 God only has one natural child. He adopted all the rest. Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org December 2 If we as pro-life people can understand that the issue of orphan carewhether thats advocating for unborn orphans, or advocating for born orphans in the United States or around the worldis not simply stopping bad things from happening to children Instead, there is also a deeper issue here, which is that our advocacy for women and children who are under assault by forces so dark and evil that we cannot even contemplate it, can teach us and show us how to be the Church, how to embrace the Gospel, how to live in the unity of the Spiritand we see something of what this looks like by what the Spirit is doing in the life of Joseph. Dr. Russell D. Moore, author of Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org December 9 The Divine Weaver knit us together in our mothers womb, and, remarkably, in that very same way He personally came to us in His Son Jesus Christ, in human form, given birth by a human mother in a dirty stable. Born into poverty, into a nation of a people oppressed, He died the death of a lowly criminal. These are the lengths that God went to, in order to show us just how much He cares for all of us. Gaylan Mathiesen, Ph.D., Professor of Mission and Evangelism, Lutheran Brethren Seminary, Fergus Falls, Minnesota A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org December 16 What happened in that Bethlehem stable was nothing less than the personal arrival of the One who will keep you and me out of hell. For millennia, men and women had lived and died, waiting and hoping that this day would come (Micah 5:2) Isnt it just like God to do His world-changing work in a little town, in the middle of the night, in an animal shelter? May the light streaming from the stable touch your face this Christmas and make you smile. Rev. Mark Jeske, Time of Grace A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org December 23 Marvel with me at the meaning and miracle of the incarnation of Jesus: Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity (Hebrews 2:14). He came to this world not merely to be like us. He came to be us, fully, in every way. In this marvelous way, He came to bring about a rescue in person, one that only He could do. He came to obey the laws of God and man as a man. He became human to die for the human race. If you believe this, you are going to have a very merry Christmas. Rev. Mark Jeske, Time of Grace A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life ( www.lutheransforlife.org December 30 The Scripture says that when someone is adopted into the family of God, he or she is not some other kind of child. This person is now seated at the table with all the relationship to the Father with all of the inheritance that is received in Jesus Christ.
