Welcome God now with this LIFE Group Devotion (FB), provided by LIFE Runners (FB). Guest Authors schedule. LIFE Minute radio.
"Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”" ~ Mark 2:4-5 (full readings)
Rosemary's Reflections: What amazing friends this man has! Not only were they willing to carry him to see our Lord, but they went as far as breaking through someone else's rooftop in order for him to do that. I'm no architect but I'm sure cutting a hole into a roof would be no easy task to say the least. The men could have left their paralyzed friend behind at home, but because of their efforts, not only was their friend's soul healed, but his body as well. They were willing to sacrifice their time and strength for the sake of the paralyzed man. I am always amazed by how much time, talent, and treasure is given by the LIFE Runners. Because of their efforts, families are choosing life and being brought closer to Jesus. Planned Parenthood on the other hand, has given up on helping women--convincing them the only option is abortion. So as a team, we go against the odds to save the lives of the unborn. With each new member, with every step in a race, we are slowly taking apart the barrier built by a culture of death.
Faith Challenge: Take a moment to pray for the families "paralyzed" with fear about their unborn child. Also pray for the LIFE Runner family. A runner needs to be strong physically. A Christian needs to be strong spiritually. A LIFE Runner needs to be both to go against the grain of society.

Faith Quote: "Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it." ~ Mia Hamm
Through Christ Our Lord,

2 Tim 4:7
* Pray/Fast: Prayer connects us with God’s will & His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (& family): Abortion reality (images)…#1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 & Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers & re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Mt 28:19.
