My son sent me this text message about something he heard during a sermon at his church:

“As illegal aliens, these children are criminals and deserve to be punished!” – my preacher, a white man… the descendent of immigrants… lmao…  OK…

He threw a fit and argued – loudly.  I could not have been more proud of him!

I think we Christians sometimes forget that when Jesus said “love thy neighbor,” He meant:

thy LGBTQ neighbor
thy old neighbor
thy black neighbor
thy asian neighbor
thy addicted neighbor
thy homeless neighbor
thy rich neighbor
thy poor neighbor
thy jewish neighbor
thy weird neighbor
thy muslim neighbor
thy atheist neighbor
thy white neighbor
thy immigrant neighbor
thy sinful neighbor

Jesus taught love, inclusion, and acceptance. We should never forget or ignore that.
