I am encouraged by the comments made by Anne, Alvin, and Kate. Your sentiments echo Acts 17:26 'And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth.' We are all created in God's image; we are all called on to love our neighbor (everyone is your neighbor, if you're unsure). These truths trump man-made law.

I call on President Harrison to release a statement about the executive order that is targeting Muslims.

Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention is sending a letter today to the White House. I hope our synod steps up and calls this out for what it is - racism and gross nationalism.

Nothing could be further from our Christian principles. God help us.
