I Was A Stranger and You Took Me In

Dear Evangelicals:

As you regular Bible readers know, that's not exactly how Jesus puts it in Matthew 25. But it is exactly how they operate in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"I was a stranger and you" ... took me in, conned me, played me for a fool worked the ole bait and switch on me.

Is this what life should look like in a city that built its modern reputation on peace and love? Is this what life should look like in a city where hippie icon, Wavy Gravy, used to feed the homeless?

Ah, Northern California, where they talk blue and walk red.

And you, evangelicals? Is this what life in your city looks like? In your church?

What does the Bible tell you about that?
