“Doesn’t matter if the funding is there from the government, the funding is not there from the government — as a church, we feel like we’re called to take care of the poor, take care of the strangers and refugees in our neighborhoods,” says @NorthWoodChurch's @scottvenable
One of our training pastors, @scottvenable of @NorthWoodChurch, sees aiding refugees who resettle in his community as part of being a “good neighbor.”
The church agreed to help 11 refugees who arrived in North Texas in December.

His church is designed to advance His kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.
If your church isn’t doing this then find a Kingdom church because plenty are!

Jews, Palestinians, immigrants (even the ones who came here illegally)—all precious people made in the image of God.
They’re all currently involved in complex, tragic situations. But however you talk about these issues, and whatever positions you take, if you’re a Christian, I’m begging you to refrain from using language that dehumanizes or demeans them.
You can’t worship God while trashing those made in God’s image.
