The prophet’s lesson is also ours: We must recover compassion for neighbor and enemy alike, or our words will be hollow.

Political discourse today is increasingly marked more by bitter conflict than by consensus. Evangelicals are often at the forefront of these contests. They confront social challenges on issues like abortion, gender, and immigration that seem to threaten biblical values. But in doing so, Christian leaders walk a precarious line between addressing society’s errors and succumbing to its acrimony.
