Another thought from John Piper's blog: (http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByDate/1998/1054_The_Other_Dark_Exchange_Homosexuality_Part_2/)
My closing declaration is this: God has not called us to win elections, but to win souls and hearts and minds; he has not called us to control Congress, but to preach the gospel; he has not called us to be safe, but to tell the truth. He has not called us to avoid conflict, but to love everyone (1 Thessalonians 3:12). So speak the truth in love, entrust your cause to God, and keep the glory of God in the center of your soul, so that all the planets of your passions will be pulled into their proper orbit.
This quote was in context of a lecture on homosexuality, but I thought it applied.
