"There are at minimum 2 purportedly Christian faiths in the US: one committed to the whole of scripture and its implications on the whole of life, and one committed to using scripture to uphold a way of life."

Leonce Crump
"Making God's sovereignty, for the Reformed camp, or substitutionary atonement, for all others, the very center of the redemptive story, rather than God' covenant, prevents them from fighting for economic and ethnic justice."
"Will our allegiance be to the God who stands on the side of the oppressed...or to the God that promises nationalistic power...who ignores wicked systems while supposedly transforming wicked hearts?"

Bonus: James Cone reference!
"When we fight for...the soul of a nation to be restored in a way that promotes unadulterated allegiance to Jesus + biblical equity + human flourishing, in our context, we are indeed being divisive, but only between true faith + a counterfeit."

Bryan Loritts cites Ibram Kendi / #HowToBeAnAntiracist @ a CCCU talk:

"This is core curriculum, not as it relates to how I get into the kingdom, but it is a significant indicator light that I know the kingdom has gotten into me...A racially indifferent Christian is an oxymoron."
"Gomer is being sex trafficked. She's incarcerated...to emancipate the one who cheated on him cost [Hosea] everything...If you say you're serious about diversity but your institution is not making costly moves that do violence to the cultural norms, you ain't loving."

Next up: @namb_sbc's "Undivided" video series. It's not as cartoonish as Anthony ONeal's #WhitePanel but has a very similar vibe.

"If I'm a Jewish person in the first century context + I think of a Gentile, historically, I think 400 years of slavery in Egypt..." @DerwinLGray
@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray "That Jerusalem Council was like 'how do we eliminate the obstacles,' and the way they explained their rationale is: we don't want to make it hard for the Gentiles to come to God. So I want to say I don't want to make it hard for our black neighbors to hear the gospel." @jdgreear
@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear More from Derwin:

"We don't become color-blind, we become color-blessed."

"You cannot spell 'grace' without 'race.'"

"The white Christian needs to learn that they tend to begin in the New Tstmt + with the resurrection of Jesus. So it's this sort of triumphal, good news message. And that's part of it. But a lot of black Christians begin in the Old Tstmt with the Exodus narrative." @jemartisby
@JemarTisby The reference here to "white Christian nationalism" here is a callback to a part of this interview where he ties Mike Pence to the KKK burning crosses + setting up an altar in front of Confederate monuments.
@JemarTisby "Racial justice efforts, the pace tends to be dictated by the fragility of white people. Churches that are attempting to be multi-racial, they may make good attempts but they're always thinking about 'how are the white people gonna respond?'"

"If you're not gonna be the one who...takes on racial justice as your life's work, okay, but give us money. Like, write the check...A lot of people denigrate money because it seems so worldly...I'm like, I'm cool with it. Coz we need money." @JemarTisby

@JemarTisby LATER: "The church ought to be the [leader] on reparations...You have many white Christians waiting around for the federal government to do something, which may or may not ever happen. In the meantime, why don't you take action yourself?

Thread: @timkellernyc's "Racism + Corporate Evil" speech, debunked. This is a foundational work in the woke canon, cited or plagiarized by pastors great + small, shared in many a Facebook comment thread to argue for reparations, contra Ezekiel 18. 1/32
@timkellernyc We'll see here that Tim's scriptural case for corporate guilt (restitution for + from entire demographics), applied to modern sociology, is sloppy if not misleading. A doctorate, fame, and best-selling books do not excuse sloppy and misleading exegesis. 2/32
@timkellernyc POINT 1: In Joshua 7, Keller points to Achan's whole family receiving punishment for his sin. By quoting nothing directly, he skips over verse 15, where God commands: "Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him." 3/32
