Concerns Regarding the Church in πΊπΈ (𧡠1 of 12):
Iβm a Christian who loves America and our freedom. I believe critical social justice is a formidable dragon facing the church in our day. I stand opposed to it. However, we must avoid some mistakes as we defend the faith! [1]

Problem 1: The false idea that the church needs help from the worldly ideologies that are actually antithetical to the gospel. This position denies the sufficiency of Scripture and the transformative power of the gospel. [2]
Problem 2: The way defeat to the dragons of our culture is somehow outside of the church through political schemes / plans. This can distract a Christian from the local church & spark a desire to make disciples who oppose the dragons rather than disciples who follow Jesus. [3]
When Christ redeemes his people we are brought into a new family. In part, what that means is that our solidarity is not to βour raceβ or βmy people-based on skin color.β Our ultimate identity is hidden in Christ. We die to self and Christ lives in us, & through us.
When we come to faith in Christ all our credentials and or racial pride is dung compared to our union with Christ and the unity we have with our brothers and sisters (of all ethnicities).
This does not mean that we can never be βproudβ of Gods providence in creating us with the ethnicity that he gave us. For example, I am βproudβ to be a PR π΅π·. However, my identity is hidden in Christ, and not in being a PR. I am now a NEW CREATION. The old has passed away!
