“Go out into the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
How much easier can it get when people are coming here to escape oppression. Yes, better monitoring is needed at our borders, because we must protect our land. But if we’re not going to them, God is bringing them to us because we know about Him, and they need to know about His son, Jesus, and the importance of what he did on the cross to bring us into the body of Christ.
Yes, we live in our beautiful communities and enjoy the blessings of prosperity, but what do you think is more important to God? Our isolation from those we perceive as less than us, or the work He has commissioned us to do?
“He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”
Once saved does not mean always saved. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” Sadly, there will be many who will get to the end only to find themselves in the chaff section.
Faith, obedience, love. God’s people are not white people or black people or latin people or asian people. God’s people are spiritual. Flesh cannot please God.
Let us all get back to the Father’s business.
