These Trump Advisers Want a Dreamers Deal Enough to Meet with Nancy Pelosi

Evangelicals join the push for protection for young immigrants.

Many evangelicals won’t let partisan divides keep them from rallying for immigration reform, particularly the urgent push for congressional action to allow Dreamers—who entered the US as kids—to remain in America.

Several pastors and members of Trump’s evangelical advisory board met Thursday with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who they cheered for her defense of young immigrants fighting for legal status.

A prominent Democrat in Congress, Pelosi also happens to rank among evangelicals most-disliked politicians; more than half (55%) of self-identified evangelicals had an unfavorable view of her in a recent Politico/Morning Consult poll.

Yet Trump adviser and National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) president Samuel Rodriguez (also a CT board member) told Pelosi today that “America is a better place because of your prophetic leadership” on immigration.

Two more evangelical advisers—Maryland pastor Harry Jackson and Southern Baptist minister Jay Strack—as well as two other NHCLC leaders also participated in the meeting in Washington with Pelosi, fellow religious leaders, and Dreamers themselves.

“We’re joined together in the spirit of bipartisanship, compelled by our faith, to protect our Dreamers,” the minority leader said in a press conference streamed on Facebook Live.

Currently, nearly 70 percent of evangelicals believe Dreamers should be allowed to stay in the country, with 49 percent supporting a path to citizenship and 20 percent believing they should become legal residents but not citizens, Politico/Morning Consult found. (Overall, 75 percent of registered voters want the Dreamers to stay.)

For weeks, there have been talks of immigration ...

The King’s Expectations

Matthew 5: 1-12 (NAS): When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven isgreat; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Evangelist Jay Strack tells a story about Chippy the smart mouthed Parakeet who was always an embarrassment to his owner. One day Chippy was accidentally sucked into a Wet-Dri Vac. His owner retrieved Chippy, washed him up, blow dried himand sat him back on his perch. A friend came over and noticed that Chippy was unusually quiet and asked why, to which the owner replied that he had been sucked in, washed up and blown away. At times we all feel that the world has sucked us into its worldly ways, washed us up in its backsplash, and blown usaway by a whirlwind of activities. How then do we cope? In the sermon on the Mount Jesus taught us God’s standards and if we follow them we will be able to stand strong against the ways of the world. Professional tennis player Andre Aggassi once said,“Image is everything.” But Jesus said, “Godliness is everything.” In Philippians 2:5 Paul said, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Therefore, to be able to have a godly attitude that characterizes our life we must continually focus on the “Mind of Christ in us.”The first 12 verses of Matthew 5 are called the Beatitudes because each verse begins with “blessed.” The Greek word for “blessed” is often translated “happy” (which is my least favorite translation). Again a word from Jay Strack who said this of the word “blessed,”“Congratulations you are already a winner because you have the attitude of Christ in you.”The first two verses of Matthew 5 describe the setting of thesermon. It was on a mountain, His disciples gathered around Him as did the multitudes that were there. After He was seated He began to teach them beginning with the Beatitudes. Blessed are the poor in spirit refers to being spiritually bankrupt, acknowledging that “without God I can do nothing.” Blessed are those who mourn refers to those who are broken because of their sin-sick condition (refer to Psalm 51). Blessed are the meek refers to power under control. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. This refers to those who have adriving passion for God (Psalm 42:1). Blessed are the merciful refers to those who show mercy intentionally, not randomly. Blessed are the pure in heart means to be totally focused on Jesus and His ways, not the ways of the world (Psalm 51:10). Blessed are the peacemakers refers to one who abides in the peace only God can give and makes it a lifestyle toward others. Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness and reviled falsely like the prophets were. The message is to stand strongfor our reward is in heaven, not on this earth. Jesus concludes this section of the sermon by reminding us that we are to be salt and light to the world. Salt seasons and preserves and light dispels darkness. May we ever live our lives by these standards as we daily walk through this sin-infested world. May the light of Christ shine through us always.

[some-original-thing-blog]

Tolerance wasn't even on the radar. The God of the Bible confronts us with our own sin and tells us, 'I love you just like you are, but I love you too much to leave you that way' . . . God's attitude is that sin cost Him His only Son.
