It is first being a steward and then it is doing. Faithful stewardship emanates from being a steward. What we do gives evidence to our identity as a steward.

Right to Life - LIFESPAN go to - for more information LIFE QUOTES from Lutheran for Life July 31 Very sad the Church denying women and men forgiveness and healing because talking about abortion might make someone feel bad. It s more than sad. It s a missed opportunity to apply the Gospel where forgiveness and healing is desperately needed! Diane E. Schroeder, president of Lutherans For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life August 7 We must continue to do all we can to bring an end to the darkness of abortion. We need to reach out in compassion to those experiencing a crisis pregnancy so they do not enter that darkness. In the mean time, we must continue to be the welcoming hands of Jesus extended to those trapped in the darkness of their sin. Rev. Dr. James I.
