Thanks a lot, Harvey, for sharing your thoughts on how Christians ought to respond to the reality of migration in these troubled times globally! If only Christians could be true disciples of Christ in our various contexts, and share the humanity of those in need of basic social amenities, this world will gravitate closer to the realization of God's Kingdom on earth.
Thankyou so much for writing this. I have been bothered by the news of immigration protests seemingly happening all over the world, and experienced it once while doing missions in another country. Hearing God's heart and what should be the believer's stance on it is blessedly refreshing. I'm always encouraged by your write ups. Thankyou.
Theoxenia (entertaining deities, angels unaware) was/is the first rule of spiritual entities fight club. The challenges of the USAn topocosm is 1) we presume all religion is a materialistic/deistic clergical power grab [and we assume everyone else is in on the secret and going along to get along], 2) if there are any "so-called gods", we are only open to worshiping those which demand wars of acquisition, 3) "they" are children of a lesser, god, 4) if we are even aware of the second temple enochian literature, we either act as though it is a bunch of hokum (must maintain one's tenure in the adjuncting ad infinitum post-modern higher education credential financialized game), or we are completely unprepared to deal with such a worldview [as though it isn't the predominant barrier to traditional denominational evangelism / congregational decline] .
Asante sana! Webale nyo! Murakoze cyane! Thank you very much! I've been chewing on what you write in this post for years! You put it in writing much better than I ever could. Well done! We watched Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda graciously receive refugees when neighbors were in turmoil. I find it dumbfounding that wealthy nations in Western Europe and North America can't find the same generosity of spirit
