President’s Corner

Dear GRTL Supporter, As some of you know it has been my family's tradition since 1986 to "cast the lot into the lap" so to speak and acknowledge God's providence in our lives at the beginning of each new year. Our custom is to gather as a family and to consecrate our exercise to the Lord. We use Bill Gothard's "Character Clues" as the mechanism. It is a deck of cards with 49 godly character qualities drawn from the Book of Proverbs. We shuffle the deck and each family member selects a number...

Promoting Obamacare: Beyond Shameful

The foundation of Obamacare is based on getting young, healthy individuals to sign up in order to pay for the elderly and those currently without insurance. That need has produced a number of efforts designed to lure “millennials” into taking part in this massive takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy. Two progressive Colorado organizations think they have the solution: promote sex outside of marriage. The latest ad from ProgressNow Colorado and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative...

Obamacare: Hardly Affordable, Especially in Georgia

President Obama and his administration have repeatedly made the following statements: “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period.” “If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, period.” “We’re going to work with your employer to lower the cost of your premiums by up to $2,500 a year.” Those were the promises that convinced millions to believe in the promise that “hope and change” would actually make healthcare more affordable....

My pastor used to say your brain is mush until 25, although in my case it went well beyond that. It was a humorous reference to the fact that children often make bad choices when left to their own devices and a reminder that they need Godly parental guidance (Proverbs 26.6). Unfortunately, there continue to be medical, public health and education professionals who tirelessly work to keep parents out of the picture when it comes to their children's sexual behavior. In Washington State, middle...

Abortions No Matter What

May 2020 – Article 1:    “The abortion pill was not easy on my body. I spent days throwing up, bleeding heavily, and experiencing ‘labor like’ cramps, all possible side-effects of the medication. At one point I fainted in my bathroom from the pain,” wrote a woman in Glamor magazine. Under the headline “The Brutal Reality of Getting an Abortion During a Pandemic,” the woman—who claimed she “barely knew the person who got me pregnant”—said she wanted a surgical abortion, but chose to chemically...

Bargain Basement Abortions

March 2019 – Article 1:     Our lost and violent world thunders that life is cheap—for the pre-born and the elderly and infirm. One proof, women now proudly “shout” their abortion—shaking their fists at the God who gave them the precious gift of a child. Fueling the carnage is the sad fact that killing the pre-born is also getting easier and cheaper, thanks to several developments in telemedicine. The New Frontier – Telemedicine One of the more recent examples is “Aid Access,” the...

Hospice: People Beware
