We welcome immigrants to pick produce and hit home runs but we won’t welcome them as our neighbors or fellow church members. Why do we need to see someone’s papers before we can see their humanity?

We are at a turning point in the USA.
Will we turn back to the biblical gospel that speaks truth and extends grace to society?
Or will we turn to a perverted gospel that syncretizes our worldly allegiances with a thin veneer of Christian morality?

Is the Great Commission for "over there" or for "over here"?
It's obviously both, but which one has been more neglected in modern missions discussions?

Daniel and his friends didn't rise to prominence because they ate vegetables. They were elevated to prominent positions because God gave them strength and wisdom.
The Faith of the Exiles in Daniel One
Today, 122.6 million people around the world have been forcibly displaced from their homes.1 Individuals, families, and entire people groups are forced to live in exile. Many who are fleeing for their lives are our brothers and sisters in Christ. Their experience has similarities to that of Daniel and his friends who were Jewish exiles in Babylon in 605 B.C.

If God wants to convert the heathen (as one skeptic admonished Carey) He will do it without consulting you and me!

Our freedom in Christ doesn’t give us rights to say or do what we will. It gives us the will to say and do what is right.
Christian freedom has nothing to do with our country’s freedoms.
You can have freedom of speech and still be a slave of sin.

When you have a dozen academic books assigned so you pick up a different academic book to chill. Is this PhD level procrastination?

I don’t think Tolstoy’s point was to pick one or the other. If I have to choose I’d probably end up choosing to feel your pain rather than my own.
