I don't know how all these pieces fit together or even if they all go to the same puzzle. Yet, I believe God has started us on a journey that will lead somewhere great.

The Syrian Refuge Crisis

The proper response to this current global crisis has been on my mind.  My thoughts really came to a head last night during a discussion with Angela.  For every legitimate article I can find talking about the vetting of potential refugees being brought into the United States (Wall Street Journal) (Time), I can find other articles quoting officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI saying our vetting procedures are inadequate or unrealistic (NY Post)(Washington Post).  This aside though, personally this really comes down to a Gospel Issue (Gospel Responsibility).  So it therefore is no longer a civil or government responsibility, but  the responsibility of the church to do something about this.  The debate in the secular sphere is irrelevant, aside for the legality and mechanism of getting these people here.  So, now what do we as the church do about it besides post on FaceBook and complain.
