"A HOUSE DIVIDED . . . "

Editorial Note:

As you look at the following photo opportunities please ask yourself this:

If  churches in Michigan are so concerned about breaking up immigrant families, where do they stand on the breaking up of American families through divorce, or American parents having their children ripped away by family courts and social workers , or how about homosexual marriage which is a direct attack of the natural family? Is the church in Detroit standing up for them or is this simply a political fad the church in Detroit supports?  

 As far as providing "sanctuary" is concerned, where is the church in America? - where is the sanctuary for the natural family, for single parents, or for the epidemic of missing children or child victims of pedophilia? We talk about passing laws to protect pastors and give congressmen guns; what about the God's unborn murdered in the womb, the children in state care, and what about the natural families in America who have been under constant institutional and policy attacks during the past 60 plus years in an undeclared "war on the American family"?  To the church in Detroit and other professing houses of worship we would ask: where's your sanctuary for these victims?  How about ministering to Americans within our own communities with the same "zeal" shown to immigrants?
