Our standard for discernment: WWJD?

I really wish I had time to post a full opinion-piece here on the topic. I don't. But here's at least a short overview that might be helpful as we consider the complex issue at hand. I'd be anxious to hear your 'comments'.

I wrote this as a response to the Christian Worldview Network article which is taking a hard-line position. [In fact, I might encourage all of you to also go review it, give it careful/prayerful consideration and leave a feedback-comment there as might be helpful.]

Here was my response...
"Christ-followers are called to a high, but easy, standard for discernment in such complex issues. "WWJD?". We're called to be imitators of God. Our God's very nature is so very often described as Father of the fatherless. Defender of the defenseless. The scriptures call us to treat the alien within our gates as our very own. And He reminds us so often that we ourselves are aliens -- our citizenship is in heaven. The OT is filled with the reminder that our spiritual heritage is one rooted in being aliens for 400 years in Egypt and 70 years in captivity... not to mention being under Roman rule during Christ's time. So before we get too self-absorbed regarding OUR nation, OUR borders, OUR jobs, etc... let's take care & prayer to ask WWJD? And encourage our Christian friends to do likewise."
