EP237: More Christians are Feeling Exiled. That's GOOD. / Thoughts on Minimum Wage and the Immigration Bill / Inauguration Thoughts

On this Episode: CHRISTIAN AMERICANS FEELING EXILED I have been feeling like an exile in a foreign country for a long time now. I'm slightly frustrated that it took political happenings to make a lot of other believers feel this way, but I'm also just grateful for the company. The country is getting both more secular and more pagan at the same time. For Christians, maybe we were made for this exact moment. FOCUSING ON ONE ISSUE AT A TIME The new administration sent an immigration bill to Congress that BOTH reforms the immigration AND deals with the millions of people here illegally. Combining the two makes the bill needlessly divisive and less likely to succeed. They also attached an absurd minimum wage increase to the Covid-19 relief bill. Again, why can't we just do one thing at a time? MINIMUM WAGE I run through the long but interesting history of this terrible idea and tell you why there should be no federal minimum wage increase. IMMIGRATION We go to Scripture to surmise what should be both the Christian heart and the legal ethic toward the immigrant and human migration. A COUPLE INAUGURATION THOUGHTS I will admit I didn't watch the Inauguration (I never do). I have to also admit that I see the hypocrisy in people who have spent a decades or so saying the United States is a wasteland of every form of bigotry and should be hated.... now CELEBRATING the country. It was just weird.
