Now, people today have turned evangelical into a dirty word, something political, but at the root of it is a deeper love than a lot of folks will ever know. I get that my sister likes to joke about me preaching to her—at her, she likes to say—but what I’ve really been trying to do all these years is save her life. We’re sinners, each and every one of us, but we can be forgiven. And when she seeks the Lord’s forgiveness, she’ll have the peace I’ve always wanted for her. An unshakable rock.
