Our Job Remains the Same


      Despite the setback of having the most pro-abortion rights president in the history of our country, it does nothing to weaken or strengthen God's charge to be a neighbor to those in need. There are men and women who are hurting from their abortion decision and we are obligated to care for them. There are children being killed over 3,300 times every single day in our country. We must be a voice for those who have none, no matter who is president.

      We must stop putting our hope in candidates and expecting morality to be legislated from the top down. Instead, we must take responsibility for our morality within our families and communities and spread it from the bottom up. Historically every major reform has happened this way. To win this battle we must change the hearts and minds of our country, one person at a time.

      It is not enough to pay lip service to the pro-life movement. Children are being killed and someone who is pro-life in conviction but does nothing is no different pragmatically than someone who is pro-choice by conviction. Praying for those who dedicate their time to pro-life work, financially supporting pro-life workers, and lovingly challenging others on abortion is what it means to be pro-life and for those of you who already are or those who decide to do more for the first time, I am indescribably appreciative of your support. You are helping save lives.

Thank you.
