Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth. Proverbs 16:13

Those who know me will hear me say often: you have to choose your battles (essentially because you can’t possibly fight every thing that comes your way). That is true. But it is very easy not to choose any battles because you’re just waiting for the right one to come your way.

So what does that have to do with this verse? We must choose carefully the battles we fight but we have to get engaged. And when we get engaged in the battle, truth is on our side.

For instance, take the issue of abortion. For too long Christians (you and I) have taken the easy way out of doing nothing to stop the slaughter of innocent victims. Oh, we may pitch in a few bucks for a Crisis Pregnancy Center (and that help is needed) nearby but nothing really substantial.

You see, the truth is this: we are the only voice the unborn will ever have. Period. They have no others.

Now, armed with that simple truth, what will we do about it?
