2/This was brought to mind just now. It would be immensely instructive & helpful to juxtapose the statements, overtures & resolutions on race from 1940 through 2019,on race from the PCA, SBC,Reformed Churches against what is posited as going woke by the same.@DavidAFrench #Jesus
3/It would seem that the polemic that the former have employed therein is representative of what nearly every campaign of significance & substance has set before the Church over centuries. They all point to systemic & structural as well as individual sin in racial partiality.
4/Have all of those across 80 yrs been woke? Have they been in error?If not,return to those bases. Effectively identify where/if wokeness disagrees with them.Too,evaluate implications of searing Christian consciences through unrepentant normalization of those ills over centuries.
5/Now what remains is these overture, statements & resolutions are right where Dabney,Edwards Manly, Broadus & Boyce along with others were wrong? In coming to themselves, in Christ, each would a affirm so.

@RevKevDeYoung Great points as usual. What we find once again is deference to an area that the Church has experienced its greatest split in America & spirit that had cost actual lives here. I say that as there is no shortage of isms charged in the areas conservatives press against. 1/
@RevKevDeYoung As we assess the again nuance in accounting for nationalism, it is important to ensure no dishonest weight or uneven measure is employed. So caution of “ism” must be employed evenly. Any allowance ought to be driven by how the witness has been harmed & relate to that. 2/
@RevKevDeYoung You see 30+ resolutions have established a faithful record of error in particular in partiality along racial lines in the Church. An area that is a part of that Nationalism. Effectively at its core. 3/

@SBCvoices there are 2 biblical frameworks repeated throughout scripture on how systemic & structural areas of sin propagate within community. Searing of a Conscience & Discipleship in error.Taken together error presented as orthodoxy in the church yields generational besetments.
2/The first of these, Searing of the conscience manifests as a culture is taught that Jesus is pleased with a principle or ethic when in fact He opposes it. This error thus affirmed in community.
3/2nd of these, the expansion of this ethic generationally through the healthy & godly virtue of honor of parent & respect of headship. In holding up the error as compatible with piety, youth & society build systems upon it. Thus shade is created as @johnmacarthur outlines

@TomBuck Amen. This is exactly the point of ensuring that our history curricula includes both the brightest and darkest, even unrepentant moments in the lives of founders & church fathers. They demonstrate the Lord’s faithfulness in spite of man’s faithless acts. The model of error warns.
@TomBuck By pressing to silence the telling of the evil of SBC & Presbyterian fathers in teaching African inferiority & ownership of kidnapped Africans as Christlike diminishes the testimony of those who were freed in spite of the evil over centuries. Excellent point in your sermon. @GOP
@TomBuck @GOP Regardless of such false teaching affirmed by the #Sbc & American founders(many Protestants), the Gospel prevailed through centuries of erroneous doctrine & disregard of what Spurgeon & McCleod were clear on & Dabney, Edwards , Boyce held as faithful unrepentantly. @CPAC

1/Anyone know where all of the SBC resolutions on gambling have gone? There were tons of others dealing with alcohol, pornography.All targeting laws. They are all gone. Even Wayback machine and Google cache don't show the gambling variety. #TGC #SBC #johnmacarthur #9Marks
2/These span centuries and provide a clear view of duplicity in the many who say, "just preach the gospel" when the support and advocacy of righteous law has been central to many of these resolutions. webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…
3/This index from a 2020 capture shows that there were 12 resolutions on the matter of gambling at that point. @DavidAFrench @nathanafinn @EWErickson @KevinMKruse @ThabitiAnyabwil @VoddieBaucham @johnmacarthur @albertmohler @JohnPiper @9Marks @LigonDuncan web.archive.org/web/2020092803…

1/When those you endear and highly esteemed over centuries held to the just and Christ-likeness of holding kidnapped Africans as property and their bearing of a lesser image as well as inferiority plus incompatibility for marriage, the conscience is damaged. @johnmacarthur @TGC ImageImageImageImage
2/Cauterizing the Conscience - It is those "heroes" of the Church and America who are the progenitors of partiality along racial lines.The unrepentant embrace of such as like Jesus,damages the Conscience in whole.@johnmacarthur @timkellernyc @DavidAFrench gty.org/library/sermon… Image
3/As the testimony & instruction of that cloud of witnesses serves, in great part, as what informs the consciences of the their progeny & those after, such discipleship in error is passed forward, just as is discipleship in righteousness. Those seared consciences inform the next. Image

1/Here @johnmacarthur further outlines what Christians must do in their participation in government in the culture to promote laws and government that is pro honesty, pro justice, @VoddieBaucham @TomBuck @ostrachan @ThabitiAnyabwil @JemarTisby @drtonyevans @MarkDever @pastoremase
3/So as Christians /the Church, pastors would not prostitute themselves out as a sort of political campaigner, but all Christians should preach the Gospel and vote/advocate righteousness in the courts, on the ballot, in the culture,
