All the Household - A place for Lutherans who want to use the Church's calendar to center their household life around the Church's Lord.


Stewardship

Luke 19:46 – "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers." The Lord’s House is not a house of merchandise or profit — it is a House of Prayer where people freely offer up their petitions to the Lord and their produce for His purposes. Generosity and joy characterize the House of the Lord, not compulsion or sharp dealing. “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matt. 10:8). That's pretty much the opposite of the world's marketplace!


Life Message

“We stand together, one in mind and heart, and with one voice, in defense of the lives of our unborn children—God’s precious little ones. Yet, what we stand for is not only the lives of these precious unborn children but also the moms, the dads, the grandmas and grandpas, the young and the old, the healthy and the sick and dying. What we stand for is the very value—the very gift—of life itself.” Pastor Paul Clark, LFL of Michigan - A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life www.lutheransforlife.org
