WITH GOD:
Be mindful of the marginalized during our Bible Read Through this week. Let it be a reminder to pray with and for those in our community.

“Our main job is not new laws, good as they may be, but new hearts. That’s our main job. If that doesn’t happen, new laws will collapse under the pressure of unchanged hearts… It is a loving thing to work for good laws. It is more loving to help people enter the kingdom of God.” - John Piper

2. JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY.

3. DEFEND THE RIGHTS.

In a culture that’s inclined to give their attention to and serve those with power and influence—We are to be a people who inconvenience ourselves to love those around us and beyond.

“Our ultimate goal is not merely to save a physical life; rather, our ultimate goal should be to care for people in a way that leads them to know the One who can save their souls. In the process, physical lives will be saved as well.” - Lauren McAfee

“Endurance in a cause does not mean that you must always do the same thing. The cause was and is unborn children, not a particular strategy. I believe God called me to one method for a period of time, just as he called me to work with pregnancy centers years before that…I applaud those who have spent most of their lives in this and other righteous but unpopular causes, doing far more than I have. May they joyfully endure, to God’s glory.” - Randy Alcorn

BIG IDEA:
Value life in opening your mouth, judging righteously, and defending the rights.
