"We have to be very careful in both our local churches, as well as in the church at large, to avoid polarization; one group becoming extremely "liberal" and the other becoming extremely "conservative", all the while each faction believes they have cornered the market on the correct way to be.

An EXCELLENT article written by a NARLA-West Board Member, Steve Allred. "But, you say, that meme I shared on Facebook is absolutely true! It came from my favorite alternative news website!

A successful day of preaching and teaching on the subject of religious liberty ministry and why it matters. The NARLA-West team is laboring to educate, empower, equip, and activate the laity to champion the cause of religious liberty ministry. Special thanks to Pastor Flores from La Voz Sylmar and Elder Luis Peña for letting us present at their church.

"We’d Become The Most Loving Nation Toward Immigrants. That passage in Matthew 25 where Jesus judges the nations? Welp, one of the other items on the score sheet is welcoming immigrants (Matthew 25:35).
