Thank you. Sometimes I begin to think I’m going crazy. It is helpful to hear sound reasoning that fits with my Christian upbringing.

I appreciate how you broke this down. I plan on sharing it with quite a few people outside of sub stack. You are a truth teller, and you are so important as a shepherd and servant of God.ā¤ļøšŸ™

Rev. Cremer, this is what prophecy looks like with footnotes. You didn’t just thread the needle between gospel and justice—you embroidered a banner with it.

The empire has always twisted Scripture to sanctify cruelty, but you just flipped the money-changers' tables in the comments section. When they weaponize Romans 13, you hand them Acts 5:29 like a holy mic drop.

This isn’t political. It’s personal. Because Jesus was a brown-skinned refugee who fled a death squad, not a mascot for border walls and tax breaks. Thank you for refusing to baptize empire logic.

Keep preaching with fire and footnotes.

Rev. Cremer, this deeply resonates with me as a first-generation immigrant who values what America has always stood for. In my research for the Cultural Crossroads project, I’ve seen how immigrants, most of whom are Christian, bring strong family values, faith, and work ethic. Far from being a threat, we’ve helped shape and strengthen the cultural and moral fabric of this nation. While there's issues to be worked out, we must focus on what unifies us. Thank you!

Thank you for this profound source of information....As a Pastor myself I was looking for a more greater understanding on the issues of immigration in how to approach it with a biblical manner!

Thanks so much for this! I will be sharing with my MAGA Christian boss who is all about deporting everyone possible, and challenges me to come up with reasons not to.

I feel like a great truth has been spoken. A veil has been drawn over the eyes of so many people, and you have lifted that veil. I will share this and allow it to be guide posts for conversations I have.
