In a recent interview, Kim Weir asked me to address the discouragement so many evangelicals feel with the moral trajectory of our culture. As she knows, it is tempting to withdraw from the world, to stop caring about people who don’t seem to care about us or our biblical convictions.
But this is precisely the wrong way for believers to respond to the issues of our day.
In the midst of this cultural conflict, Christians should adopt Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) as a guiding principle. Here’s how I understand this command to relate to the pandemic.
Early Christians face many challenges, but despite them all, they "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6). How can we emulate them today?
Despite having one of the best health care systems in the world, we dropped the ball because we did not take the coronavirus seriously at the beginning and had little testing. Now, the fear is that the U.S. will begin to look like Italy.
