“It is starts with a philosophical perspective of, ‘this is who we are as an institution’. That philosophy starts to reflect itself in the mission statement, the vision statement, policies, practices, procedures, and the things they decide to resource. It all flows from that philosophy that they have that this is part of the DNA of our institution.”

“Some in our society see immigration as an invasion. Many see immigrants—especially undocumented immigrants—as a threat to our economy, our security, and our national identity. But as a follower of Christ, God has been challenging Matthew Soerens and Jesse Oxford to see things differently: as a beautiful, missional opportunity for the Church.”

“Whether you say “undocumented immigrants” or “illegal aliens,” the issue of immigration stirs up all kinds of passion – fear, anger, compassion, uncertainty… Although it is a politically sticky issue, Urban Entry decided to produce a DVD on immigration because the issue raises so many “urban entry” questions about our values, hopes, and fears as we follow Jesus. Conservative and liberals are challenged to re-consider their positions when they discuss this issue as Christians.”

“A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it’s core Jesus’ gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered.”
