Amnesty, Deportation, and the Bible
A danger we face as political activists (or wannabes) is becoming too attached to a certain political party. For one thing, it's easier to just vote, say Republican, during an election instead of looking at what each person believes. As Christians, we have the responsibility to view candidates and issues through the lens of the Bible. Following Christ and imitating Him should infiltrate our whole lives. Even as far as immigration. Specifically illegal immigration.
Last week Agent Tim began a good discussion on this topic. Since it's in the news a lot, it's something we're constantly bombarded with. But I wonder how many of us have taken the time to think it through. Now I don't claim to have any answers (at this moment ;-), but I did find a good article to start us off: Who Holds the Moral Ground in the Immigration Debate? If you have any thoughts, feel free to let them be heard through the comments!
