We pray also for military and VA chaplains. On this LCMS World Mission Day let us ask the Lord to give our missionaries good health, strong faith, joy and enthusiasm in their efforts to proclaim the Good News around the world. Every life is precious to God . . . Therefore, abortion is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Euthanasia is equally an abomination in His sight.
Abortion is murder.
Because it tears from the mother's womb a child who has not yet even been born, it may be the most horrible form of murder. Both Scripture and science agree that the baby at conception is a human being with potential - not a potential human being. Birth is not the beginning of life. It is only a change of residence for an already living child of God. I believe it is important that we review briefly what God says to us in His holy Word about the crown of His creation - human beings.
