LISTEN NOW! Many media sources and outlets that have been voicing concern about the immigration crisis in America. There have been many topics of discussion regarding the porous Southern border of the United States and there are many concerns of the broken immigration system in America. These are valid topics that are being debated in the present day. What should the Church be discussing? What should the Church concerns be regarding the growing immigrants in America? This is the very premise of Dr. Castleberry’s new book, The New Pilgrims: How Immigrants are Renewing America’s Faith and Values. In a discussion with CBN, Castleberry shares the profound reminder that “…being American isn’t having a certain ethnic identity. It’s about sharing American values…” Are those who are immigrating to America coming because the Church has not gone to the nations? Those who are coming are hungry for Jesus Christ.

It is an important reminder that the Bible describes in detail the makeup of the very people that surround the throne of God. Revelation 7:9 gives a visual to this truth, “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” As the Church, we are called to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Nations, to ALL people. How differently would we respond to people if we saw them how God saw them, and not how culture perceives them? Allow your faith to be stirred and your excitement to rise as you see the magnitude of what God is doing in your generation, and so much more.
