Why Colorado Life Initiative?

We are unique in many ways. First, we are the body of Christ. Our foundation is obedience to Christ with Scripture as our authority. While anyone is welcome to join the efforts, our leadership are mature born-again believers living out the great commission. We pray for one another, encourage one another, and put the needs of others before ourselves. We are committed to remaining attached to the Vine through prayer, local fellowship, and daily time in the Word of God.

Second, we are focused on life. Our eyes are fixed on Christ who is the source of life and abundant life. We are retraining our minds to dwell on whatsoever is pure and lovely, and we are bringing a message of hope to a lost and dying world.

Third, we are changing the paradigm. If we agree with biologists and theologians that children's lives begin in the womb (not at birth), than we act on that knowledge. We don't make exceptions for who, when, where, and how we can justify killing people. All human beings have an inherited right to life. We expect doctors to respect those lives and attempt the best outcomes for all patients. We expect parents to care for, nurture, and love their children beginning when their children are conceived. And we expect law to protect living human beings equally "with liberty and justice for all" (Pledge of Allegiance).

Fourth, we are changing the way we speak. Words have power. How we speak about sons and daughters and children in the womb ultimately changes the way we treat preborn children and their parents. We reject the vocabulary of the abortion industry and frame the debate using accurate concrete language.

Fifth, we work to end abortion legally. We are using the powerful tool of law to end the current holocaust. We take the lives of children in the womb seriously and put forward fair policies to protect them - all of them. It takes just as much time, effort, and finances to put forward a mediocre law that God Himself would oppose (God opposes unjust laws Isaiah 10:1) as it does to put forward great law that God can bless, so we put forward just (fair) law God can bless.

Sixth, we are all volunteers. 100% of donations go to the efforts of protecting our youngest and most vulnerable children. No one is financially profiting from the efforts. In fact, most of our hardest working volunteers are also our biggest donors.

Seventh, our long game is to no longer be needed. We speak the truth in love knowing our labor of love will reap reward if we do not give up. While pregnancy centers will continue to flourish once abortion is abolished, our mission to protect all children starts in the womb and ends when all children are protected legally.

Eighth, because we are the body of Christ, all glory and honor belong to Him. We are not primarily political. We are not secular. We are believers committed to obedience to Christ. Our selfless sacrifice of love for "the least of these" among us is a natural part of living the Great Commission in our culture today as salt and light in a dark and perverse generation. It is a part of our testimony to protect children. A part of our legacy. Our duty is obedience. The results belong to God. Because the results belong to God, all glory and honor belong to Him. While we work diligently, we recognize in humility that we can do nothing apart from Him (John 15:5).

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." (Philippians 4:8)
