30 May America, Defend Life! (Acts 18:9-10) by Dr. Pat Castle
“Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you.” ~ Acts 18:9-10 (full readings).
..
Pat’s Reflections: God speaks these words to all LIFE Runners, “Do not be afraid” – encouraging us forward to speak up for the Unborn. We don’t need to fear because God is with us. After 25 years in uniform, I retire from the Air Force today. Transitions are filled with opportunities to live out our faith and trust in God. St. John Paul II’s first words as pope were “be not afraid.” He challenges us all, “If you want equal justice for all, and true freedom and lasting peace, then, America, defend life!” Defending God’s gift of life, this is precisely what motivated me to serve in the Air Force and the Pro-Life movement. Dr. Rich Reich and I were inspired to co-found the Living In Faith Exchange (LIFE) Devotions in 2007, and LIFE Runners became the devotions action arm in 2008. As I close my last LIFE Runners Devotion while on Air Force active duty, I remind myself that we are all called to remain on faith active duty with God as our eternal Wingman. Our Pro-Life mission demands we move forward, forward, always forward!
