President Trump signed an Executive Order limiting immigration, as we all know. Those of us who voted for him were very pleased, because he was fulfilling a campaign promise. Millions on the other side see it as an outrage, a denial of our American identity as a refuge for people of the world, contrary to the very slogan written on the Statue of Liberty. We see them protesting with their placards calling for us to welcome all who wish to come to our shores. While watching the Super Bowl, we see an advertisement urging us to accept everyone, because it will make us better. Another shows a sad Mexican mother with her child being turned away by an ugly, imposing wall. What a curious turn of events, that many Christians, who claim to serve the God of love, should be demanding legal action to turn away immigrants, while those who generally oppose or ignore biblical teaching are now the ones who seem most loving and accepting! It’s quite a turnaround!
