#173: “LifeFirst – Changing Hearts and Minds”

To God, Every Life is Valuable   You are important from the day you were conceived.   God told Jeremiah the prophet in Jeremiah 1:5,   “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”     This is one of many verses in God’s word that affirms the value of the unborn in God’s eyes.   In addition, we see in Isaiah 46:4 that God tells the children of Israel,   “Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs, I will carry you!  I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”   Again, this is one of the verses affirming the value of the aged and His love and care for them.    So, we have no doubt where God stands on the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. But sadly, we have tremendous division regarding the value of life and whether or not it should be protected around the world.   Defending Life is Crucial to Changing Hearts and Minds!   Our guest for our 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐏𝐎𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 has worked tirelessly for many years to restore the value of life, and she is here today to share the hope she has with our listeners worldwide.   Teresa Strack is the Executive Director of LifeFirst, a grassroots ministry whose mission is to change individual hearts and minds to make abortion and euthanasia unthinkable. She graduated from Houston Baptist University and spent many years volunteering in the pro-life movement until becoming the Director of Montgomery County Right to Life in the state of Texas, where she served for seven years.    So, be emboldened in defending life! God has given us the grace and the amazing opportunity to preserve the value of life as God does and as He desires us to.
