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...
Sermons
Many staff, volunteers, and friends of GRTL are teaching pastors. With the help of pro-life pastors around the country, we will provide notes, presentations, outlines, and full sermons here for others to use at their churches.
Rage To Redemption: One Man’s Perspective On Abortion
“The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.” ~ Mother Teresa Among those who favor abortion - the deliberate killing of a preborn child – women’s rights and wellbeing typically begin and end the arguments in favor of abortion on demand. Pro-life advocates almost always ask, “What about the rights and wellbeing of the preborn children?” But there is a...
Proliferate The Pro Life Rate
“They will know we are Christians by our love.” This is one of my favorite songs to sing in Church. They will know we are Christians by our love. They will NOT know we are Christians by our apologetics. They will NOT know we are Christians by our logical proofs, as to exactly why abortion is wrong! Now these proofs are good, and these apologetics are very useful tools. They are important to have, so that we can defend what we believe in. But when there is a young, frightened mother at a stage...
The Search for Speck
Aliens. That was among the recurring themes during my three days as a member of the press at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. And of course it would be – that’s every space nerd’s dream: to find alien life. Just look at War of the Worlds, Star Trek, Star Wars, Andromeda, Stargate, and a hundred other sci-fi icons; popular culture has been fixated on discovering alien life for more than a hundred years. And what’s better? NASA says they’ll find life outside of Earth within the next 10 years. NASA’s...
The Pro-Life Kobayashi Maru
You are the Captain of an intergalactic spacecraft. As you are venturing on to your next peace-keeping mission, you receive a distress signal from a civilian freighter ship, which is carrying hundreds of innocent families on board. The civilian craft says that it has struck a mine and is rapidly losing power. In their tragic mishap, their vessel drifted beyond an armistice line created by a violent and terrifying alien race. You now must make a difficult decision. If you attempt a rescue of...
Thank You, Facebook
In most pro-life circles, the topic of graphic abortion photos is controversial at best. Personally, I think that graphic images of individuals who have suffered injustice or atrocity should be handled with care and tact, but should be shown. The reason I feel they should be shown is rooted in a rich history of advocacy against evil. During the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, Allied troops made citizens of nearby towns march through the death chambers to know what they had been...
