In today's conclusion to my series commenting on the state of pro-life ministry in today's culture, I want to give you some helps for talking to others about life.

One great pro-life ministry is Lutherans for Life.

And there is only one major life question regarding abortion: What is it that is being aborted?

Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. -1 Peter 2:12

It is highly unlikely that abortion will be restricted through legislation and any level for the foreseeable future. - my personal opinion

The least talked about- and most important- feature of our past Presidential election is the most enduring issue at hand: Supreme Court justices.

We just saw an historic election for a number of reasons. One reason, that of race, is discussed a lot. I've never thought for a second that we wouldn't see a non-caucasion president in my lifetime. I think that is a good development in our society.

Last night our Truth Project group had a great time studying Unio Mystica. The Mystical Union refers to the relationship of every follower of Christ to Christ Himself. Scripture speaks like this:

Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD...Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD." -Jeremiah 17:5, 7

And God gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors/teachers...

...for the equipping of the saints for the work of service.

A group of 11 Living Word members started studying the book The Equipping Church last Thursday. We're enjoying our group greatly, and learning a lot. 

In this current campaign we have heard a lot about rich people. Barack Obama has looked the American people in the eye and said that he will finance his "investments" of change by increasing taxes on the super rich in our society, namely, those making more than $200,000 per year individually, or $250,000 as a couple. That only affects 5% of our population, he says.

That logo has nothing to do with this post, but a lot of folks are thinking along these lines...
