We must never allow our skeptical, secularized culture to persuade us that sharing and standing for our faith is an imposition of our values on others. To the contrary, such bold witness is the most compassionate way we can love our neighbor as ourselves.
What will it take to break us? There is famine on the horizon, but very few are hungry for God. The red, white, and blue cannot save us; only the crimson blood of Christ can: "Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity" (Joel 2:13).
The ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey doesn’t end abortion in America, nor does it legally ban abortion. It means that state-level restrictions on abortion are not immediately invalidated by Supreme Court decisions that even honest pro-abortion legal theorists have recognized as poorly decided. It means that the work to see abortion swept into the same dustbin as other historic evils can now proceed legally unencumbered as it has long been.
When Roe v. Wade was overturned last Friday, I issued a Daily Article Special Edition discussing what happens next in the states. Today, let’s focus on what should happen next for pro-life Christians.
Now that this historic day has come, I wanted to respond immediately by updating and sharing that information and then offering three biblical reflections. Later, we will discuss the ruling in greater depth as we focus on the road forward for the cause of life.
The big, big question remains: do I believe that we can truly have different convictions if we have the same Holy Spirit of God residing within us?
So, what now? How should faithful Christians respond now that Roe versus Wade has been reversed?
Three stories in today's news are related in a very encouraging way...
