Three Ways Christians Can Get Involved in Pro-Life Work
In the wake of the US Senate’s failure to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, Chelsea Patterson Sobolik offers practical wisdom for how we can practically serve the pro-life cause. Here’s an excerpt:
Advocacy doesn’t have to be intimidating or difficult. Reach out to your local Congressman’s district office and ask for a meeting with a staffer. Familiarize yourself with current pro-life legislation at the state and federal level. When you’re meeting with a government official or staffer, share why you’re pro-life, why it matters that they vote for pro-life policies, and piece of legislation you hope they’ll support. Don’t be afraid to share a personal story.
How Jesus Redefines Your Work
Over at Made to Flourish, Collin Huber explains how Jesus transforms the way we work. He writes,
“One of the beautiful things about Jesus entering into this world is that it proves every arena of this world matters to God. If the Son can sweat in a workshop, so can we, even if our “workshop” is a cubicle, a coffee counter or a construction site. God desires faithfulness, not external metrics.”
