Separations

Dear Friends, Separations I attended a rally in Chicago where 60,000 gathered calling for keeping families together. I think of what if my Andy and Emily were forced to be separated from their children of 3years, 1 year, and 11 months old. Is there any law that would be right for that to happen?

Can a believer justify family separation in light of the Bible? Leviticus 19:33-34 and 24:22 – “When the alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 24:17-18 – “You shall not deprive a resident alien...of justice.” Or Jesus’ call “to love everyone” At the rally I had a 20 minute conversation in Spanish with a family where the parents were undocumented and their children ages 1 and 14 were documented. I pray ICE does not find them. They are good people. The father said to me, “We need a million like you.” I gave out 150 flyers “Healing the Divide in our Country”. It encourages people to talk across the aisle. Our nation is paralyzed, thinking of the other as the title of the book says, “I’m Right and you’re an Idiot”. We are paralyzed and not conversing with each other. Attached is the flyer. I gave out 150 of them. One fellow asked for a copy, read it, and told me “That is really good.” Please pray for our government leaders. Shalom, Jim
