If you're not outraged ...

For many Christians, there’s so much to be outraged about that it’s hard to narrow the list: Fears for women, fears for immigrants, threats against religious liberty, threats against dissenters, fear about this, fear about that.

Adults don’t just show up at church and behave differently than they do other places; often they reveal themselves in times of stress or opportunity.
