Here is the heart of hypocrisy when it comes to our southern border crisis: 1) We say we want to reach & love the nations, but we fear them & treat them like subhumans when they come to our shores. We value our wrong conceptions of security more than their humanity. 1/

2) We say we are a nation of laws and that we want to honor what is legal. Yet, we twist, obfuscate, & abuse those very laws when those laws actually help refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants, and those in need. We only want to keep the laws that benefit us. 2/

3) We act generously & mobilize to give when we can control our giving and it doesn't cost us anything. Yet when there is great humanitarian need coming to our borders, we act from a skewed understanding of scarcity and security. 3/

Finally, we say we would give anything, including our lives to follow Jesus, but when we are given the chance to love our neighbors & even love our enemies, we shrink and shrivel.
Go ahead and fight for your kingdom but just be honest. Stop claiming it is God's kingdom. Tired.
