Christians, attacks on our faith will be rampant and vitriolic in the next few weeks. We’ll see laid bare a fundamental bias against Christianity that will be eye-opening to some and maddening to our others.

Here’s what we need to remember. The will of God is our holiness.

We will be tempted to dunk upon those who dunk on us. To hit back harder— to win on their terms.

We’ll be tempted to become partisans, fighting as the world fights.

But the will of God is our holiness.

That means a culture of life depends as much on how we engage with the world as on what we say.

The righteousness of our cause will not impure righteousness to viciousness.

and if we proclaim a culture of life, but do not exhibit the fruits of the spirit, we are a clashing gong or resounding symbol.

So my only point is that as we work for a culture of life in law, let’s also be witnesses to it in word or deed. Let us be excessive in charity, joy, peace, and hope.
