Today thousands gathered for the March for Life in Washington D.C. This Sunday is Sanctity of Life Sunday and also happens to be the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. This past year has been especially interesting as the issue of life has touched many sectors of society. There is much to celebrate in the life movement.
LACC has been involved in the early stages of establishing some new pregnancy resource centers in Northern California. We will share an update this week at church on what has been happening. We think this is one of the ways we can provide help and love to people in our communities. Also, let’s continue to be educated on how our Christian Worldview and Scripture can inform our involvement in issues of life (both at the beginning and end of life). God calls us to love all people and to stand up for the most vulnerable among us. We are thankful to God for His call and any opportunities to show love-especially, to young moms, their babies, and their boyfriends in the months and years ahead.
Speaking of life, I came across a brief article about the world population passing the 8-billion-mark. The writer presents are really good perspective on the value of human life based upon God’s image. Take a look at:
