Answering THE question of our generation ... Why should I be For Life?
Current gender norms have falsely redefined what i Current gender norms have falsely redefined what it means to be masculine and feminine. As a result, many young people feel pressure to either conform to the stereotypes of their gender or identify with a different gender altogether. But God did not create gender to be a moving target. In fact, God gave Adam and Eve the gift of gender in the Garden. Through sex and gender and the different organs associated with male and female bodies, God creates and sustains human life. He gives women the ability to carry and nurse babies and men the desire to protect life. God also upholds life by grounding our identity in Christ through Baptism. Christ redeems men and women alike through His death and resurrection, bringing them into His body and filling them with His Spirit. He then uses the unique gifts of men and women to sustain life, making gender more than a personal marker, but a gift for the service of others.

Our culture changes daily. Different clothes are i Our culture changes daily. Different clothes are in style, new music is popular, and values shift, slowly degrading God’s gift of life. But God has not and never will change. Before the world was created, He loved our lives. He loved our lives so much that He sent His Son to redeem us, giving us a way to eternal life.

Generation Z is the most non-religious generation Generation Z is the most non-religious generation in American History. This means that many young people do not find their identity in the unchangeable God; rather, they find identity in fleeting identifications. But God made us for a relationship with Him so that He can comfort us in our sin-sick world. In Galatians 2:20 the Apostle Paul writes, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” This means that through Baptism God washes us with the blood of Christ, freeing us from the guilt of our sin and giving us eternal life. In a world full of change and decay, God is constantly there to feed us with His Word and Sacrament and to heal our infirmities.

The relationship between parent and child is one o The relationship between parent and child is one of the most impactful relationships a person has. Parents are our very first neighbors, and from them we learn both our values and identity. Parents are also our first tangible source of love and affection. When this relationship is lacking in love and affection, children face the consequences for the rest of their lives. God did not create the parent-child relationship to be broken; instead, He blessed it. In the Fourth Commandment God tells children to honor their parents, and He tells parents to love and nurture their children. Even though these relationships are marred by sin, God still works through parents to care for children in body and soul. From the love of a parent, children learn how their heavenly Father loves and cares for them. Even if earthly parental relationships are broken, God’s love for us is endless and sacrificial.
