We need to know what the Bible says about abortion and marriage, poverty and slavery, and we need to see how all of these issues fundamentally relate to the gospel.

On popular issues like poverty and slavery, where Christians are likely to be applauded for our social action, we are quick to stand up and speak out. Yet on controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion, where Christians are likely to be criticized for our involvement, we are content to sit down and stay quiet.

We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.

And this is why Jesus came: to endure the holy wrath of God due us.

God has put you in this culture at this time for a reason.

If there were 1,000 ways to God we would want 1,001.

We go wherever God leads whenever God moves us...because we love His glory more than we love our lives.
