August 3rd Worship Service

This morning Ron is going to be talking about the Good Samaritan.  I’ll let him go into the really good story, but it basically asks the question, who is my brother?

As I was thinking about that I saw an article about the Alligator Alcatraz the government built in Florida to detain the illegal immigrants the ICE raids a rounding up.

The cost to operate Alligator Alcatraz is estimate at $450 million per year.  It is designed to hold about 3,000 inmates…which comes out to a cost of about $150,000 per inmate.  Seems kind of expensive considering we are looking at budget deficits for the next few years.

According to CBS News through June 2025 ICE has made 109,00 arrests of illegal immigrants, many without criminal records, and recorded 150,000 deportations.  Some of the arrests and deportations have not been in line with the original plan of criminal records only.  There has been very little due process given to the detainees.  Many of the raids have been accomplished by invading forces wearing full combat gear, including face masks and little to no identification.

It makes me wonder what Jesus met when he said in Luke 10: 36-37:

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
