The Christian’s calling is not about being right, and it certainly isn’t about being wrong all the time. Our role is to continue God’s story, and continuing that story means doing what is holy.
Good isn’t just following the laws, even the laws of the church. Sometimes good calls us to more. Jesus calls us to share that good, to embody it, to live it out.
