The cause with an attitude...

...the attitude of Christ! Have you ever contemplated the impact that our attitudes as pro-life supporters (and Christ supporters) has on those around us?

When Christians have the attitude (thoughts and understanding) of Christ, God is glorified and His people are blessed by Him in their service to one another and the world. 

"Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus..."
Philippians 2:1-5 (NASB)

You will notice the words in bold. These words are all in their Greek equivalent related to the word referring to the understanding of the mind and how inner thoughts affect outer behaviors.* Paul states that "being of the same mind," "intent on one purpose," and "hav[ing] [the] attitude...which was also in Christ Jesus" are important qualities for Christians to have. How important this is to remember when ministering to the world through a movement surrounded by so much hatred and negativity!

My prayer is not only for Birthdays for Babies and pro-life organizations, but for the Church (God's people). May we exhibit an attitude that boldly but gently represents that of Christ with the goal of spreading the Gospel, not challenging a world too far gone to persuade with words. 

Lastly, I also pray that this blog will not only be a place for learning about donating to the noble causes of BFB and Save the Storks, but that the shared faith in Christ and attitude of love that is spread here will inspire readers (as the founder's passion did for me) to work for the cause of Jesus Christ.

A word:

Thank you endlessly to Bethany and Birthdays for Babies for allowing me to be a part of this extraordinary operation. I am thrilled, nervous, and hopelessly behind on the pro-life movement. This will be apparent, just be patient with me. God has me here for a reason! 
Praise the Lord for His children who have shown me what obedience to Him looks like through this project! Thank you, Bethany, Ashlyn, and Lindsay for inspiring me to be a part of this through your obedience to and passion for the ways of God.
