Again, overwhelmed by the influx of new followers this week because of the Kathy Hochul clip. If you're not familiar with my work, here are some highlights from the past year+...
I was an aimless reply guy anon when I watched this bizarre sermon from Eric Mason, author of "Woke Church," and figured it would be helpful for people to see what exactly he's teaching, split up into social media-sized clips.
That thread got such a big response, I decided to switch the name and theme of my account. I started looking up sermons and conference talks from various so-called "moderate" pastors and found insanely far-left ideologies.
While I tried to focus on people who are esteemed and influential within conservative evangelicalism, occasionally it helped to look over in progressive la-la land to see where the slippery slope leads...
As you know, there's a whole lexicon of words with provocative plain meanings, which sophists will redefine to make you bow to their agenda. I tried to find good examples of said sophists telling you the new definitions:
A theme I quickly noticed was that, for all the talk on "my side" of CRT, that's really only a destabilizing tactic. It has nothing to fill the void of unbelief and/or dissatisfaction that it creates. So what's espoused is plain old liberation theology.
Seriously, folks. It's mostly just LT getting laundered by respected teachers.
And then the next phase, I've noticed, is some level of defending pagan syncretism...
To hammer home that point, this is from a chapel message at a Nazarene University:
There are various archetypes of WPCs. There is the Struggle Session, a performative confession/lament to signal one's surrender to the new theological paradigm...
There's the "foot in the door" genre, where you're berated into giving false teachers a fair hearing. Or, as I've expressed it elsewhere, "don't call them wolves until they get up close."
There is the "woke cage stage," wherein a formerly sound teacher is blowing his own mind by getting immersed in the new paradigm, and you can hear the excitement as they spurt these new beliefs at the normies:
There is the "eff you, pay me" genre. Self-explanatory.
There is also the "gulag staff application" genre. Self-explanatory, as well.
There's the "It's not sin when my demographic does it" genre...

...and its counterpart, the "It's not sin when your demographic does it" genre.
There's the Panel Discussion, where everyone agrees on ditching the boring old fundie gospel and everyone is trying to one-up each other, especially the white preachers looking for affirmation...
It's not always about race, either. We've got a few touching on Alphabet People issues...
More recently, there's been some regime PR on pandemic stuff...
And sometimes, there's just pure, unadulterated cringe.
Over on YouTube, I do some editing together of multiple clips every once in a while...
And to avoid copyright strikes, I've started doing more fact check-style commentary
If I were to pick one clip for people to watch and understand why I do what I do, it's this one. Part of preaching the gospel is warning people: the gospel (forgiveness of sins via Christ's death, promise of eternal life + final judgment) is not deficient.
You can have miraculous physical healing because of Jesus. You can have an improved economic status. You can have more liberty and see oppressors toppled. But NONE of those are the good news of the gospel itself. You can lack all of them and still have the "full" gospel.
Finally, I'd like to close with a challenge you can share with anyone who's starting to slide down this path of error.

"Which doctrines are colonized?" Or, more succinctly, "Which doctrines are white?"
With any cult or offshoot sect, you can identify specific teachings that make it distinct from Christianity. I hear all the time that "white evangelicalism" is distinct from the true, authentic faith, but there's no particular doctrine cited as to why.
The only examples I've seen: 1) justifying chattel slavery, which no one does, and which doesn't get you out of explaining why Spurgeon isn't invited to the cookout, and 2) stylistic choices such as music and church decorations.
The most honest moment I've seen re: this question is Lecrae's longtime pastor say our error is over-emphasizing "the atonement," aka the cross of Christ. 😳
I'll wrap up here, I think. Thank you for encouraging me to continue in this work. Pray for your boy WPC not to get a big head and to do this out of love for the flock, not a love of controversy. If you know of anything that needs clipping, send it to wpctips @ protonmail . com!

These "David Raped Bathsheba" takes are getting considerably weirder
you thought I was done, didn't you
Okay, here's the climax, which actually is relevant to the socjus discourse:

"We are made in the image of God...That doesn't just mean that your body is good...It means that you are good. All of you...We are infinitely good, and we are infinitely lovable."

ED STETZER: As a Christian + a scientist, do you think there's any basis...to claim a religious exemption from [COVID] vaccines?

FRANCIS COLLINS: I have trouble seeing what it would be...I can't see how that fits together in some sort of rational argument.
"Kids need to be in school. The consequences of missing out on that personal interaction...are really significant. Those of us who are adults + are missing our church gathering, we're suffering too, but if I have to make a priority, getting those kids in school is even higher."
"If churches are determined to meet, what can they do...well, certainly continuing to insist on mask wearing for everybody, vaxed or unvaxed...Families who are arriving together + have been unmasked around each other all day need not be separated [by 6 feet], but others should."

This week in WPCs!

My new editing style for YouTube is more laborious, so those have cut into my output. We started out with a montage of some clips first tweeted last Friday:
Next, I've been scanning YouTube for churches mentioning the 'rona vax during their services to see who's respecting conscience and who's not. This Disciples Of Christ church in Ohio went WAY overboard for the latter:
Here's the Fair Use-ified version of that one:

"When you...stay silent, when you push back + say things like 'all lives matter,' and when right now more than 12 million people are being persecuted because of the color of their skin...Christ follower, you have missed the point."

Yasmin Roohi, Silicon Valley's CenterSet Church
<Lest anyone assume otherwise, "All Lives Matter" is cringe and I have never uttered, typed, or written it anywhere unless quoting others>
"Until black lives matter, all lives can't matter. They simply don't matter."

"When I look at Jesus, his humility says: I want what's right over being right."

Esau McCaulley: I think there's emerging a division within evangelicalism...not a theological division between liberal + conservative.

Also Esau McCaulley: "Any heresy will do" for young Christians who "know in their heart" socjus is right but want people to tell them it's bad.
WPC, noticing heresy hunters since 2020...
"When the flames of Pentecost came down...one response was to say they were just drunk...'They're just cultural Marxists. They're just SJWs'...That is the same things they did at Pentecost, where they used what they can see as an interpretive lens to dismiss what was going on."

"We want a job for every black person in America for the next 100 years. And the government can do it. We want child care for every parent who's African-American for the next 100 years. We want free health care for every black American for the next 100 years."

Rev. James T Meeks
"I'll know that you're saved when you start talking about reparations. I'll know that you're saved when you start saying and acknowledging that negro people should be paid back."
