Immigrant Korean churches similar to the one I grew up in as a kid couldn't afford to make sharp distinctions between "spiritual" issues and "material/social" issues. When a Korean immigrant - both Christian and non-Christian - came to my hometown, they reached out to my church..
as a place to find connections for housing, school for their children, various social services, ESL courses, work or continuing education, and community integration contextualized for them as Korean immigrants. Pastors, elders, deacons, & church members were all "case managers."
Undocumented Koreans (a forgotten demographic in our country that is actually rather large) were cared for, integrated into church life and society, and ministered to holistically. "Love your neighbor" was in no way diminished by their immigration status, nor were their titles...

A good deal of the sermon applications & pew-talk for upper-middle class Americans can be especially damaging for Christians who come from lower-income situations. Being able to preach carefully and pointedly to both is a sign of wise and contextual preaching.

A couple examples:
Telling families barely surviving on food stamps that wanting a better life is a sign of ungodly discontentment and distrust in God's provision.

Reassuring congregants that the discipleship resource, retreat, or event is *only* such and such and is a *small* cost for growth.
Talking matter-of-factly about inheritance, having parents help with down payments, protecting investments, and insuring assets.

Shaming families who don't observe a sabbath rest, even though one or both parents may have to work on Sundays just to survive.

It's one thing to acknowledge that racism is a stain or blemish on American Christianity. It's another to lament the fact that racism has been woven into the fabric of American Christianity.

The former requires amendment. The latter requires deconstruction and reconstruction.
It's one thing to acknowledge that Christian leaders of the past had racist "skeletons in their closet." It's another to take a cold splash of reality and see that they had fully-enfleshed racism in their living room, office, front porch, pulpit, lecture hall, etc.
It's one thing to say that sometimes the American church used greed & lust for power as sinful means toward good ends. It's another thing to side with God & say that the American church has consistently been bedfellows with empire and empire ethics over Christ's kingdom and call.

You don’t have to Bleach to Glow!

No, you are not toning, you are bleaching.
You know how I know?... I tone too! I have been toning for 5years consistently and I am still one of the blackest radiant people I know! Igbo too😉

Yes there’s a difference

Toning is great for your skin, if you are really toning!
No, toning isn’t meant to change your complexion.
In cosmetics, skin toner or simply toner refers to a lotion or wash designed to cleanse the skin and shrink the appearance of pores, usually used on the face.👇🏽
#DrZobo
Toners can be applied to the skin in different ways: On damp cotton wool.
Toning (based on dermatologist's prescription) evens out uneven skin tone, corrects dark spots, discolorations and so on. Toning is actually part of a skin cleansing process because it benefits the skin.👇🏽

1. The “Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel” perverts both the gospel and one of its components, social justice.

#Gospel
#SocialJustice
2. The first paragraph of the statement’s introduction asserts there is “an onslaught of dangerous and false teachings that threaten the gospel.” This is error.

The reality is that the gospel is not threatened by lies, and falsehoods pose no danger to it.
3. The statement’s introduction then identifies the culprit as social justice but places the phrase in quotes, allowing the reader to assume that social justice is not a real concern for those seeking to live out the gospel of Jesus.

Gospel for Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Did Jesus get his power to cast out demons from the Prince of Demons? #gospel usccb.org/bible/readings…
//The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." (Mk 3:22) #Gospel
//Beelzebub or Beelzebul is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. The name Beelzebub is associated with the Canaanite god Baal. #demonology #religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.
