"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 5:14-16

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth." - Psalm 139:13-15
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." - Romans 6:3-5

The mission of YA For Life is to equip young adults to be Gospel-motivated voices for LIFE. Are you in your 20s or 30s? If so, we want to serve you!

The Reformation was an era of recovery and faithfu The Reformation was an era of recovery and faithful proclamation of the Gospel beginning in 1517 when Dr. Martin Luther pinned his 95 theses to the doors of Castle Church in Wittenberg. This document was meant to call Pope Leo X to repent for his various doctrinal errors, but soon spread its way throughout Germany. Luther, alongside other faithful reformers, contributed the initial documents of the Lutheran Confessions including the Small and Large Catechisms and the Augsburg Confession. These documents proclaim the sweet message of the Gospel, that we are saved by grace through faith, on account of Christ Jesus. This saving faith is a free gift of God, not a result of works. Since the Reformation was a time of recovery of this blessed Gospel, the motto of the time was “Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum,” which means, “The Word of the Lord endures forever.” To learn more about The Festival of the Reformation visit https://allthehousehold.com/festival-of-the-reformation/. ⁠
⁠
We invite you to sing with us the hymn, “Salvation unto Us Has Come,” found on page 555 of the Lutheran Service Book. The sixth stanza proclaims the sacrifice Christ made to uphold our lives. ⁠

This is a hard truth of the world: we are all sinn This is a hard truth of the world: we are all sinners. No one can live up to God’s standard. Thankfully, as Christians, we also know the best truth in the world! Christ died for all our sins, granting us forgiveness as a gift. There is nothing we can pay for this gift, because the blood of Jesus already paid the price.

Government, though tarnished by sin, is also a gif Government, though tarnished by sin, is also a gift from God, given to protect and uphold our lives. Through Kings Saul, David, and Solomon, God protected Israel from their enemies, provided them daily bread, and safety. Similarly, God, as the head and master of the universe, works through the order established by governments so that we may live in peace and quietness and receive our daily bread. God uses the power of the sword to bring about justice when there has been a crime and to deliver us from war. He works through farmers, taxes, and public sanitation to give us food, good roads, and clean water. We pray that God continues to work for good through governments, even imperfect ones.

He traveled alongside his brother Simon to Persia where they were both martyred for the faith.

Thaddeus means, “one who lays hold of the prince,” reflecting how the Holy Spirit worked faith in his heart to receive Christ and preach His name to the world.⁠

One of the most important orders, established in t One of the most important orders, established in the Garden of Eden when God created Eve for Adam, is the family. The order of the family is best understood as circles of care: the husband cares for his wife and children, loving them sacrificially; the wife submits to her husband, receiving his loving care and helping him care for their children; and the children submit to their parents, receive love from them, and gladly honor and obey them. God cares for the entire family - husband, wife, and children - wrapping them in His loving mercy as He gives them daily bread for both body and soul through physical gifts and the sustenance of His Word. Through the care of the family, children receive love, daily bread, and learn the Faith.
